Dugout Discussion

Saturday’s Dugout Discussion schedule looks like bringing us a feast of action today with nigh on all of the big sides facing off against “kind” opposition. First up, we’re served the palette cleansing amuse-bouche of Newcastle vs Everton…

Newcastle line-up as predicted with Sylvain Marveaux given the chance to impress once more, with Gabriel Obertan sidelined. There are two changes for the visitors, as Royston Drenthe and Phil Neville come in for Diniyar Bilyaletdinov and the suspended Marouanne Fellaini. Teams in full are…

Newcastle XI: Krul; Simpson, S.Taylor, Coloccini (c), R.Taylor; Marveaux, Cabaye, Guthrie, Gutierrez; Ba, Best.

Everton XI: Howard; Hibbert, Jagielka, Heitinga, Baines; Coleman, Neville, Rodwell, Drenthe; Osman; Saha.

A fair few high scores are expected today. Liverpool at home to Swansea. United facing Steve Bruce’s Sunderland. Chelsea away at Blackburn. Arsenal hosting West Brom. City closing out the day down at Loftus Road against QPR.

The only other remaining fixture of the day is Aston Villa vs Norwich and that too looks like it could join in the revelry. Cue nil-nils all round to defy expectations. Either way, the Dugout Discussion will be here through every kick of the ball.

    hmm rio is at left centre-back, while vidic is at right centre-back. Strange, it is usually the other way around

      Meh, put in one good ball to Osman. Has lost some set pieces to Drenthe. Not looking worthwhile.

      Cheers guys, looks like it's Drenthe as Everton cover, not going to downgrade Adebeyor to a real cheapo to fit him in then.

        With Jones on 6.1 and Bos currently a selling price of 5.9 in my team with 0.2 in the bank I am soooo tempted to make that change now. Tempting fate big time by doing that though. Anybody know when the next price rises are due?

      Looked good, was Everton's real attacking threat. Ball greedy as well which is always a good thing in FPL. Will get a load of assists as he's on corners, but Timmy Cahill will need to relearn how to head the ball

      no. He's not had the ball much and when he has, he's done very little. Just gave the ball away, and fouled the player to try and get it back. I hope he gets moved to striker.
