Sunday Dugout Discussion

The last day of the gameweek before another International Break dawns. We’ve got four games to get our last fantasy fix on as we open the Dugout Discussion. We start with Bolton playing host to Chelsea.

Bolton have made a whole host of changes from the side that which lost at Arsenal, including Adam Bogdan coming in as goalkeeper. Didier Drogba comes in for the suspended Fernando Torres and Daniel Sturridge is fit enough to face the side he helped so much in the spring of 2011. Team line-ups in full are…

Bolton XI: Bogdan; Steinsson, Boyata, Cahill, Robinson; Gardner, Pratley, Reo-Coker, Petrov; Ngog, K Davies

Chelsea XI: Cech; Bosingwa, Terry, Luiz, Cole; Ramires, Lampard, Meireles; Mata, Drogba, Sturridge

Before this tie finishes we’ll have two of the newly promoted sides facing off against two Europa League combatants as Swansea play host to Stoke and Fulham welcome QPR at three o’clock. All of this will be the pre-cursor to the main event as the big North London Derby kicks off with Spurs playing host to Arsenal. Odds of 33/1 on Emmanuel Adebayor replicating “that” celebration. He wouldn’t, would he?

We’ll be here through all of it, come what may.

          Not with 3 other world-class strikers, really, and Malouda in the equation too. If I were to guess I'd say he'll get roughly 25 games this season.

      he's in for now, so it's his to lose. if you can stomach a few 60mins and a few bench places over the season he's looking good. he was always going to get a chance, my doubt was his ability to grab it, today at least he has

      I think he'll play fairly often. You've got to consider though that they will be picking three of: Mata, Torres, Sturridge, Malouda, Drogba, Anelka every week.

      Still for 6.5m you can afford him not to play every now and then.

      I'm stuck, I've got RVP, Rooney, Aguero up front. Would love to upgrade a midfielder but can't bring myself to get rid of any of them to free up the funds.

        How many times this year have people said someone is a rotation risk and talking people out of buying someone and they go on to play and score and play and score.

      I'm going to keep him against Everton since they don't have much of an attack...if you don't have Enrique, get him instead. He seems to have more potential. 2 assists in 2 games and a cleansheet this week, they do play United though...hmmm you could get Phil Jones instead

      Good with ball, poor without it. They have too many players that'll go missing in games - Taarabt, SWP, Bothroyd etc.

      More importantly need a striker to convert Barton, SWP, Taarabt assists.

    What a fantastic week to take Lampard out of my team. I'm so depressed.... I hate fantasy football.

      Excellent idea. Mata is an FPL dud.

        Another Modric maybe?

        I think Ramires is better value, 9.5m is a hell of a lot for Mata now we've had a good look at him.

          Not if Chelsea continue to score so many goals, which I think we will.

          Mata's goalscoring record for Valencia was phenomenal. Much better than Modric's has ever been in his career.

          He has a big score in his locker but AvB not playing him for 90mins is torture. What was the reason today?!

            No reason to play him for 90 minutes.

          ahh I see.
          Fixtures wise - great.
          Form wise - hard to tell really, Nani was pretty wasteful and Mata again showed potential.

          No. If you have Nani, keep him. If you have Mata, keep him.

      I did it last week before Nani's price went up even though I knew Mata could outscore him this week. Nani is FPL gold.

    Call me a crazy fool but despite noblot being rooted at the foot of the table I'm still planning on bringing Petrov in this GW. He has been the sweetcorn in that turd of a team thus far and you've got to remember Bolton have had horrific fixtures up until now this season; a dream run of opponents awaits.

      I cant stop reminising about his awesome Prem debut season. Assists every week. Thats why I have faith with him.

          Naughty! Robbed of one assist thanks to a slow motion replay showing the ball over the line by a few inches.

        It was an inch over the line. Yes it was the wrong decision, but it was entirely understandable.

          10 inches. Add to Meireles' non booking in the first half. Don't worry though, i know you'll forget all about them.

            Yeah, Meireles' non booking was an outrageous decision. If it is a foul in that area, how is it not a yellow?!

            Refereeing standards are horrendous at the moment.
