The Dugout Discussion

Seven three o’clock kick-offs with Chelsea, United, Liverpool and Spurs all enjoying home comforts – the scene is set for a bonanza of Fantasy points. While such a scenario has a habit of smacking us round the chops, we’re remaining optimistic and have opened our Dugout Discussion chatroom ready to soak up your views as the points pour in.

It’s safe to say that the Old Trafford clash between United and Bolton will carry the biggest expectation amongst the Fantasy fraternity. Wayne Rooney and Nani will go into the game with armbands stacking up, while Tottenham’s attacking talent will again carry our hopes as they face up to Wolves at the Lane.

Good luck for the Gameweek, we’ll see you on the other side with the Knee Jerk.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      Wouldn't have three spurs looking at their fixtures, and maybe your midfield could do with strengthening (Dempsey in there somewhere maybe?) Good defence and RVP and Aguero should be lethal together

      Look at Soernsen Given as a keeper combo - it seems to work better than Krul Vorm
      I'd axe Jones - United have very tough fixtures coming up. Or maybe keep him for Stoke (H) the swap for Kompany.
      Same with BAE, he's good for Wig (H) but horrible fixtures after that. If he's in your WC team you'll prob want to take him out soon - take him out now or have someone in mind for GW 24 onwards.
      I'd downgrade Adebayor to Morrison and have Valencia for McEachran

      Think I'm going Morrison too, means I can keep Rooney and turn Dawson into Kompany when he comes back.

      Protects my Rooney money which means I can go back and forth between Rooney and Aguero as the rest of my squad has a strong balance.

      Yakubu getting sent off turned into a blessing.

    I could be on for a bad score next week but the week after should be really fruitful. Not sure if a WC this week is worth it. 😕
