Wednesday Dugout Discussion

After a frenetic Deadline Day Tuesday that saw an abundance of big-name moves, such as Nikica Jelavic to Everton (massive), the Dugout Discussion returns to complete Gameweek 23. We’ve got five more Premier League fixtures to pour over tonight, but with most of the big-hitters on show yesterday, fantasy points may be a little thin on the ground.

We start at Villa Park with a slightly earlier kick-off, where Alex McCleish’s side play host Mark Hughes’ Queens Park Rangers. The other four games get under way on the hour, including the televised game at the Stadium of Light between Sunderland and Norwich City (definitely worth watching ahead of Valencia Vs. Barcelona).

There’s also Blackburn Rovers versus Newcastle United, Arsenal travel to the Reebok Stadium to face Bolton Wanderers, and a Bobby Zamora-less Fulham welcome the visit of Roy Hodgson’s West Bromich Albion.

Follow all the action in our Dugout Discussion chatroom, which will remain open until all the dust has settled from what has already been an eventful Gameweek 23.

        Hi KOL, I know what you mean. When I WCed for GW22 I was just fixated on the Ful/Stok double up from the minute I clicked the WC button and it prob clouded my judgement somewhat.
        New/Sun could have easily replaced to give a more even spread.

    Ay, Wildrover if you're still about:

    I took a look at the only bit of McClean assist video I could find and you're probably right - the defender's knee was at the corner of the area but surely was inside.

    McClean assist should stand.

        I'm warming to the assist rules. Yes - it's a dodgy assist and in no way intentional but the evidence is conclusive and there's no subjective element as to whether the ball has changed speed or direction. Maybe (as in this case) if the ball leaves the penalty area then it can be considered a new phase of play and therefore no assist - but as the rules stand then McClean should keep the assist.
