Sunday Dugout Discussion

With yesterday’s results overshadowed by the now infamous non-handshake at Old Trafford, the Dugout Discussion opens today for what will hopefully be a controversy-free day of football. Having been displaced at the summit of the Premier League, Manchester City travel to Aston Villa where a draw will see them climb back to the top. Before that we have a Black Country derby to enjoy, as Wolves aim to drag their rivals West Brom in to the relegation scrap, and the Baggies try to increase their breathing space from it. The team news is in…

Wolves XI: Hennessey, Foley, Johnson, Bassong, Ward, Doyle, Edwards, O’Hara, Jarvis, Ebanks-Blake, Fletcher.

West Brom XI: Foster, Reid, McAuley, Olsson, Ridgewell, Odemwingie, Morrison, Scharner, Mulumbu, Thomas, Fortune.

Mick McCarthy names an attacking side which features a trio of strikers in Sylvan Ebanks-Blake, Kevin Doyle and Steven Fletcher. For the visitor’s, Liam Ridgewell makes his debut for West Brom at the expense of Nicky Shorey, and Paul Scharner starts ahead of Graeme Dorrans.

You can follow all the action as it happens in our Dugout Discussion chatroom, which can be accessed right here.

      read the tottenham game right...and RVP not scoring....just got unlucky with bale not performing. I too think Silva might be a bit too much....so expensive...and i do see him getting assists with a rouge goal.....but not as big as some of these cheaper options....he is a great player yet I think maybe getting Rooney instead could benefit

          you own Dzeko and you know he's a rotation risk, so if you play him then you should expect him to only come on for 5 mins sometimes.

      52 points is bugger all... 100+ is pushing it, but 3-4 GWs can make that up easy.

      cautious. 52 is nothing.

      i am 163 pts behind in one, have written that one off and am focusing on another mini league where i am only 20-25pts behind

      Maybe Richards to Kompany as he's nailed on every week?

    Worth transfering out Aguero for Rooney before he rises? City have good fixtures but Agueros form is awful?

      Thinking the same myself at the moment. The way this season is going Aguero will bang in a hattrick as soon as he is transferred out for Rooney.

      May just be worth the risk though.........

    Here are my moves next week for a 4pt hit.

    Dzeko > Rooney

    Silva > Yaya Toure

    Ireland > McClean

    Yaya is just getting ready for his return and prob gonna make some $
