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.

    This has been an incredibly mixed week all round, for most people on here. My teams points tripled thanks to Senderos, Dempsey and Pogrebnyak.

    Somebody somewhere though must have McAuley, Caulker, Mignolet, Dempsey, RVP, Pogrebnyak, Sigudrsson, or at least 6/7 of those.

    And somebody somewhere else must have Aguero (C), Silva, Ba (V), Sessegnon, Bale and Richards.

    What a week its been so far

    What a week! Minus two combined from Ba/Sess/JoseEnrique (last two were on bench). Three starters sat (Silva/Bale/Kelly), but Silva bench shifts armband to Dempsey and brings Siggy off bench. Pogrebnyak/Dempsey/Siggy/RVP fireworks mean I ought to be on about 91 for the week. And I took a four point hit in the process

      Olsson and McAuley are nailed on. Ridgewell should be good to keep his place.

      Olsson and Ridgewell have just about got slightly more threat from set pieces than McAuley.

      McAuley is .4 cheaper though, and they'll all obviously get the same clean sheets.

      I'd go for Olsson personally but you're likely to get a similar outcome from all three players.

      McAuley is worth saving money for. Ridgewell scored his goals in a Birmingham side that was set up totally different and focused very much on set pieces for goals from Ridgewell/Dann/R.Johnson. All three for me have a similar scoring potential so IMO going for the cheaper one would be wise.

          Nice going! Still reckon 60+ will be green, though.

    This has been a good week for those who don't play fantasy football.

    Emotional roller coaster. Lows of Richards Aguero and Ba. Highs Of Mcauley, Dempsey and Clichy.

    RVP captains will be pleased as punch.

    So will the guy who captained Pog above me in the league.

    Gotta love it really!!!!

    On 89,005,453 pts with 4,000 more to play and 1986 maradona as captain. Is this any good?

      Mate Im sorry Jonty but that doesnt even warrant a post on this site. I would just deactivate your FPL account and plan for next season. 🙂

        🙂 I'm anticipating the inevitable smug posters later with their "I've got 70 pts is this any good?"
