Super Sunday Dugout Discussion

After a thrilling day of Premier League action yesterday, Super Sunday has a lot to live up to – and it just might. Four of the top five play each other, in what could prove be a monumental day in the 2011-12 season. Needless to say, the Dugout Discussion chatroom is open for business, so come is and share your thoughts on the day’s action as they unfold.

It all starts at the Etihad Stadium, where league leaders Manchester City face a Tottenham Hotspur side eager to establish themselves as title contenders. The team news is in…

Man City XI: Hart, Richards, Savic, Lescott, Clichy, Milner, Barry, Silva, Nasri, Aguero, Dzeko.

Spurs XI: Friedel, Walker, Kaboul, King, Assou-Ekotto, Lennon, Parker, Modric, Bale, Van der Vaart, Defoe.

Once again Roberto Mancini cannot call upon the services of their suspended captain fantastic Vincent Kompany, but welcome Micah Richards back into the fold. Edin Dzeko continues up front with Sergio Aguero.

A huge boost for the visitors sees their captain and defensive rock, Ledley King, named amongst the starting eleven after missing the last five league games. Elsewhere, Jermain Defoe starts, replacing the ineligible Emmanuel Adebayor.

Once the dust has settled in Manchester, we turn our attention to the capital. Manchester United will be looking to capitalise on any dropped points from the earlier game, and Arsenal are seeking redemption from the humiliation at the hands of the Champions in the reverse fixture. In case your memory has failed you, it was 8-2.

      Hahaha yeah ... that was great ... remember when Rooney was called for an elbow to the head, and then for the next 12 months people banged on about it? Then, then, Song and Ramsey both elbow him in the same game, but they receive no cards - or fouls?

      Yeah, that was great.

      I was thinking the exact same thing, but haven't looked at his numbers and how they stack up against the likes of Rooney, Nani, and (now) Valencia...but I'm wondering if a combo of Valencia and Wellbeck gives one plenty of Man U coverage without the ups and downs of Rooney (who seems to player deeper every time Man U faces a top 5 side) and Nani (who is too boom/bust for my FF tastes). Anyone else? Thoughts?

    I think i am going to do; Walters -> Valencia but to do this move I need to free up 0.5m elsewhere.
    Which of these moves would you do to free it up?

    A) Rooney -> Aguero
    B) Fletcher -> Keane
    C) Fletcher -> Morison
    D) Fletcher -> Helguson
    E) Simpson -> Kelly
    F) This would be for a 4 point hit, so don't do anything.
