[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 β€œenigmatic”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.

    Liking Joe Allen at 4.5

    For all the hype, Dyer has only actually done anything in one match this season and rarely lasts the full 90 minutes

      2 things actually.
      Has scored 6 and 11 both times ive played him..
      However, im looking to get rid, with so much rotation going on, I want someone I can trust to get some points, Cleverley or HBA will come in soon for him

      Can't really complain about a solid 2/3 points each week for 4.5m. Better than Ferguson anyway. The odd goal/assist is a bonus

    I know this is a bit early but I have mids and forwards of

    Nani, Silva, Dyer, Cabaye, B.Johnson
    Sturridge, Ade, Rooney

    I have 2 frees transfers and 4.9 in bank. What option do you prefer:

    1 - Cabaye, B.Johson, Ade-->Aguero, Ramsey and Walters (other mid combo for 12.5)
    2 - Cabaye, B.Johson--> Ramsey and Walters (other mid combo for 12.5)
    3 - Sturridge, Cabaye --> Aguero and 6.4MID

    Danny Graham is doing exactly what he did for Watford...getting goals in bursts. He regularly scored in 4 or 5 consecutive games for us..

    1-0 Swansea, Graham goal, Gower assist. No Wolves cleanie...

    Wolves are seriously in trouble, relegation, maybe? Not looking good at home - 3-0 QPR, 2-0 TOT, 2-1 NEW, lost last 5 in row.

    Feel Johnson and Ward will fall 0.1M as they face City away next week.

      Like many you've played Given instead - me included. Swansea aren't good away but Wolves are poor - especially at home. Villa have a solid defence but WBA with Long and Odem may score.
