Sunday Dugout Discussion

Sunday brings us three Premier League matches, with events kicking off at midday with the Tyne-Wear derby clash and culminating with the titanic clash at White Hart Lane. Our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open and will be around to soak your reactions as the day progresses.

The team news from the Sports Direct Arena brings us no surprises in the Newcastle lineup with Papiss Cisse shaking off a groin problem to partner Demba Ba up front. Martin O’Neill has given us food for thought, however, drafting in Nicklas Bendtner in attack, presumably shifting Stephane Sessegnon to a support role. Jack Colbak makes way, while Phil Bardsley recovers form a calf problem to take his place in the back four.

Enjoy the game, and the Fulham vs Wolves and Tottenham vs Man United clashes later today and pop into to the Dugout Discussion for some real-time Fantasy Football bantering.

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

    Howard (Vorm)
    Skertel, Enrique, Evans (2 from Caulker/Kelly/McAuley/Santon/Senderos)
    Demspey, Nani, Siggy, Drenthe (McClean)
    Suarez (C), RVP, Rooney

    Around 1.3 in bank (depending on the combo of defenders) which will make it easy to get Kompany/Hart/Tottenham players in.

    I know Drenthe and Howard are risky but I am chasing a 50 point lead.

    Thoughts?

        How so? You get 2 shots, what's 'flawed' with that..? I prefer it to the guarantee of a captain which rewards luck far more, from previous seasons.

      Yes, but don't think I'll do it just yet. Have more pressing matters with Sess, Huth and Taiwo who can't possibly be staying to long in my team. Looking at Ba, Bale and Silva afterwards.

      Oh yeah. Need to decide on a replacement for Sess to raise funds for Rooney but it's happening. I'm thinking about N'Zogbia for a bit of a punt. I hope Rooney doesn't blow up tonight and start rising in price before the midweek game.

    Which player is the best to have in my WC team?

    A:McAuley(WBA)

    B:Jonas Olsson(WBA)

    C: Get Russel Martin(Norwich) in only for this week, he plays WIgan at home and is a huge goal threat. Then after GW 28 is over, straight swap to McAuley/Olsson.
