Sunday Dugout Discussion

This Sunday brings a whole host of soccer action across the globe. Right now Santos are trying valiantly to hold off Barcelona in Japan while in the evening there’s some tasty action on the continent. The Dugout Discussion opens for the juicy Premier League filling in this football sandwich…

QPR play host to Manchester United in an earlier than normal kick-off as Gary Neville sets in for a triple header of televised “Super Sunday” fixtures – with a fourth game off screens for good measure.

Neil Warnock drafts in Matthew Connolly for the injured Anton Ferdinand while Heidar Helguson returns from injury himself. Ferguson must have a temperature as he makes the rare decision to field an unchanged side from that which beat Wolves – his usual fables on the injury front also show Javier Hernandez fit enough to return to the bench. Teams in full are…

QPR XI: Cerny; L Young, Connolly, Gabbidon, Traore; Wright-Phillips, Barton, Faurlin, Mackie; Helguson, Bothroyd (Subs: Kenny, Orr, Hill, Derry, Taarabt, Campbell, Smith).

United XI: De Gea; Smalling, Evans, Ferdinand, Evra; Valencia, Carrick, Jones, Nani; Rooney, Welbeck (Subs: Berbatov, Giggs, Park, Hernandez, Young, Lindegaard, Fryers.).

Fantasy Managers will then have to settle in for not just Aston Villa hosting Liverpool but Manchester City against Arsenal on television screens. Plenty of captain’s armbands will be following Spurs vs Sunderland also going on while these two games take place.

This Dugout Discussion is also my last planned contribution for quite some time so I’ll wish you all many happy returns over the hectic festive period of football coming up while I’m here. Thanks for your continued support over what’s been a grand old 2011.

    Need Nani, Jones and BAE to score less than 20 to be sure of a cup win. Cone on QPR!

        I think so too, I've got Nani so points are generally good but my opponent has him as captain so can't afford him to run riot!

    Worried not having him, but love seeing him in form.

    Vorm - Hennessey
    J. Enrique - Brown - Evans J - Jones - Richards

    Ferguson - Drenthe - Larsson - Young - Silva

    Sturridge - Van Persie - Adebayor

    With Young obviously not being a first pick anymore, who should I replace him with? Mata, Nani or even VDV? 1,5 in the bank, 1 FT.

      Bale looks a good option if Bosingwa plays. However, AVB might play Ivanovic at RB, therefore bringing Sideshow Bob into play. Bring on the clowns.

    "Wayne Rooney has scored in the Premier League against 28 different clubs. QPR are one of the four current PL clubs he hasn't scored against."

    please let that stat still be in tact after the game!

    Fergie, "Rafael is back and he needs a game" Who will miss out next game then? I reckon it will be Smalling.

      Possibly Evans/Rio, Smalling may revert to centre back.

      Yep Smalling I think too, despite Smalling being a better centre-back than Evans.

        Yea - if Smalling does get dropped, I might do a crab Smalling -> Evans move. If they are all gona be rotated, I might as well have the cheapest.

      No problem. I was 140 points behind my league leader in GW5. The lead is now down to 9, and assuming Rooney does not go crazy, I should overtake him this GW.
