Sunday Dugout Discussion

Coming down from the highs of cheering captain Luis Suarez in person to a magnificent two point tally will be hard to do, but, this Sunday, the Dugout Discussion has come good with all sorts of tasty fixtures that will soon cleanse any palette…

There are three early kick-offs at 1:30pm today as we keep track of some top ties – the Manchester derby chief amongst them. All the following line-ups are sourced from the Premier League (@premierleague).

Fergie has named the same back-line as which drew at Liverpool while recalling Anderson, Nani and Wayne Rooney to his starting line-up. Roberto Mancini has kept the faith with Mario Balotelli while he can also call on a fit again Sergio Aguero. Teams in full are…

United XI: De Gea, Evra, Ferdinand, Evans, Smalling, Fletcher, Anderson, Nani, Young, Rooney, Welbeck.

City XI: Hart, Richards, Clichy, Lescott, Kompany, Milner, Barry, Yaya Toure, Silva, Aguero, Balotelli.

Arsene Wenger said he’ll have to rest Robin Van Persie eventually – he has now. Opting instead for the brute force of Marouanne Chamakh against Stoke. Captain Ryan Shawcross will likely find himself up against Aaron Ramsey at some point today. Teams in full are…

Arsenal XI: Szczesny, Mertesacker, Santos, Koscielny, Djourou, Arteta, Song, Walcott, Ramsey, Gervinho, Chamakh.

Stoke XI: Begovic, Shawcross, Wilkinson, Upson, Whelan, Etherington, Wilson, Delap, Whitehead, Crouch, Walters.

Fulham make a widespread amount of changes from their midweek European team while David Moyes gives loan signing Royston Drenthe his first start as well as super sub Apostolos Vellios. Teams in full are…

Fulham XI: Schwarzer, Baird, Riise, Hangeland, Grygera, Murphy, Sidwell, Dempsey. Dembele, Johnson, Zamora.

Everton XI: Howard, Distin, Baines, Hibbert, Jagielka, Neville, Fellaini, Rodwell, Osman, Drenthe, Vellios.

As these games either enter the dying embers or reach a heady climax the fourth game of the day will kick off as Harry Redknapp tries to keep on pressing up the table with a trip to Ewood Park. QPR playing host to Chelsea will then round out the gameweek on all good television screens.

A whole host of opportunities today with a wide array of fixtures and top teams to savour in the Dugout Discussion. Here’s hoping the stars can live up to their billing.

    currently have a team of

    Vorm
    walker enrique simpson
    Nani VDV Silva Fox
    Aguero RVP Adebayor

    subs: naylor, tiote, lopez, Ruddy

    Currently have just .04 in the bank and can make a trade for RVP to Rooney.
    But RVP is on fire but faces chelsea next week, and rooney plays for the better team with very promising fixtures. Any inputs for this dilemma would be appreciated.

    According to BBC website Bosingwa was shown a straight red for a professional foul. Is that only a one game ban?

    I hope so as I have Bosingwa, Woodgate, DeLaet, Enrique and Simpson. Any advice on a transfer?

    I was going to do Moses to Walters

          I've had him from the start aswell, but I just like to see his name in my side with his consistant 1 & 2 points. For some reason makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

      I think it's partially due to United losing momentum while other teams are gaining it. But there certainly an element of the fickle fantasy manager coming into play aswell.

    Hmmm. Balotelli is on fire. I know he's a risk, but IF he can hold down a place he could be FPL gold (until he gets sent off!).

    I need to make my transfers early this week. What do you think?

    A. The sensible option: Senderos ---> Shawcross

    B. The Kneejerky option: Senderos ---> Kompany & Suarez ---> Balotelli (can't afford Ade).
