[sbu_large_image] Dugout Discussion

Morning has been and gone and the minds eye of Fantasy Managers quickly changes from “What do I do?” to “How have I done?” as the Dugout Discussion settles in for a full day of footballing action…

Saturday and Sunday’s fixtures split evenly with 5-a-piece so we should have precisely half of the excitement in store. A closer looks makes it seem like our upcoming schedule got the hard end of the bargain as most of the “glamour ties” are saved for tomorrow. Nonetheless, today’s action kicks off with Wolves playing host to Swansea.

Once we ride out the Midlanders (five defeats in a row) versus the Welsh (four defeats in four away games with 12 goals conceded) we’ll take in a trio of three o’clock fixtures as Aston Villa, Bolton and Newcastle play host to West Brom, Sunderland and Wigan respectively.

Liverpool get the spotlight and sunset of the day as they welcome Paul Lambert’s Norwich to Anfield. All eyes will be on a certain Luis Suarez – more than a few captain’s armbands will be reliant on this “enigmatic”Uruguayan. If you fancy an added game, why not play “spot the Scout” as myself and Big Dunc take in the occasion in person. He’ll be the guy in the Liverpool stand trying not to cheer if Norwich take the lead.

The Dugout Discussion, as per usual, will keep chugging along through every kick of the ball.

    What are people doing with Aguero? Bringing him back or leaving him be? I would like him but I think my team would be far more balanced without him, plus I will need to get rid of Given, De Leat, Cabaye, B.Johnson and perhaps simpson in due course.

            Im doing RVP -> Aguero too.

            Hes cheaper and in a side that will create more chances. Not to mention the better fixture next week.

            Will make a .3 million profit on that transfer too 😯

              If i want Aguero I need to get rid of one of Rooney, Adebayor or Sturridge. I have 4.9 so can have a straight swap for any of them.

              Replacing Rooney is out of question, chopping sturridge means no cash to upgrade elsewhere. Ade - look at fixtures.

        Sad to say it is going to be the most one sided final ever.

        Wish Wales had been there they would have given the All Blacks a run for their money.

        3/4th play off was a good game and will probably be better than the final tomorrow.
