Tuesday Dugout Discussion

Gameweek 28 concludes tonight with the hotly-anticipated Merseyside Derby. Bragging rights are up for grabs in Liverpool, and for us fantasy managers so are double gameweek points. The Dugout Discussion opens for the fourth day on-the-bounce, as team news from Anfield emerges…

Liverpool XI: Reina, Kelly, Skrtel, Carragher, Jose Enrique, Henderson, Gerrard, Spearing, Downing, Carroll, Suarez.

Everton XI: Howard, Hibbert, Jagielka, Distin, Baines, Coleman, Rodwell, Fellaini, Pienaar, Stracqualursi, Anichebe.

Kenny Dalglish names an attacking line-up, desperate to put an end to his prolonged set of horrendous results. Andy Carroll partners Luis Suarez, and Steven Gerrard returns to the starting eleven.

Celebrating 10 years of continuous employment this week, David Moyes could see his side leap-frog their city rivals with a win. It’s surprising then that, despite his winner against Spurs, Nikica Jelavic is dropped to the bench along with John Heitinga. In their place, Denis Stracqualursi and Phil Jagielka come in.

Follow the game as it unfolds in our Dugout Discussion chatroom, which can be accessed right here.

      He got lucky with the first assist and the second was a very easy cross. It won't happen often and do you know it's his first double figure haul in FPL.

          Tbh I can't tell, because the stats for the 2 games are now merged together. Enrique probably talked himself out of a bp with that yellow card.

      B and D surely. Young is a rotation risk but in his current form SAF isn't likely to leave him on the bench and, with Agger not a million miles away, is Srktel a 100% starter?

    If Suarez didn't score points today I was all set to transfer him out for Rooney and downgrade Silva for a hit, but now I'm not so sure.

    I feel like Rooney vs Wolves is must have, but don't want to drop RVP or Ba or Suarez before Norwich and QPR fixtures.

    Should I get him in?

      I'm in a very similar position (RVP Suarez and Ba up front)...I think I'm going to hold of on Rooney until GW30...I'm not convinced that he'll play against wolves.

        I'm worried about that too, the worst scenario would be me taking a hit to get him in, and en him not even playing.
        And I feel united have enough quality to beat wolves even if berbatov and Owen started up front, so Rooney could be rested.
        I doubt he will though, and he looks to keep grabbing goals.

        And if I keep Suarez for QPR, I'll want him against Wigan, so I guess I could drop Ba after Norwich

              Everyone raises their game for the mighty Barca!

              Reporter: Mr ColeHole, 4vetti's delivered a decisive home victory - any regrets?

              CH: No, no not at all. An away game at the San Siro... it would have been a miracle if we had won. Why plan for miracles? After Kompany's injury, changes were inevitable.

              I'm happy to lose by 5 points - if I had not taken -4 extra, the loss by 1 point would be agony. In BATE, we say " a day without agony is one to remember", so we remember today, we smile,eh?

              R: Looking forward to next week...

              CH: Yes, we host the mighty Meelan. It is preferable for us not to rely on the lightning to strike twice against Barca - so we must win next week. BATE is not, as you say "pushover". We are prepared to fight.

              R: Any insights into your strategy?

              CH: I will try to play our strongest team. At home, we are a different team - I think not so easy to beat, eh?

              Again I offer my congratulations to winning manager. I hope next week, he will do the same 😉

              You think Enrique is in danger of losing his place in the long term? I honestly think Kelly is good enough to be a regular at RB for Liverpool and Johnson is more than capable at LB

                Kelly is a very good RB, but he started out as a CB, and will probably move over there long term once Johnson goes and Flanagan comes though.

                I don't think Enrique has any competition tbh, Johnson at LB has worked when injuries have been difficult for the squad, but Enrique is definitely first choice, Aurelio is his competition at LB, and he hasn't played all season.

                Kelly is only 21/22, he can sit on the bench and take his opportunity when it comes, he's not a bad backup to have.

                And while he did fairly well offensively as well as a solid defensively performance, some of his attacking decision making wasn't the best

    4vetti, manager of AC Milan, left the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza with a smile on his face tonight, knowing he was extremely lucky to win the tie with BATE Borisov, especially as his job was in jeopardy if AC were to lose the match. BATE were noticeably without Nani & Kompany whilst AC suffered when Villa scored a late goal to rob Schwarzer and Riise CS points whilst also having Vorm on the bench.

    Standing next to his beloved Ferrari Enzo, with adoring fans chanting support in the background 4vetti said “Ciao! This week eet is different as we sacrificed much to win this match. We played well but I expect more from the team, more passion, more love, più amore appassionato for the way we play. Si, our defence needs a leeetle tweaking as cleeen sheeets are not happening, but I am happy. The team is happy. We are all happy. Siamo felici, felici, felici!”

    Taking a large swig from a Milanista hip flask, 4vetti took charge of his car and drove off, only to be stopped by the Polizia, breathalysed and then bundled into the back of a van.

    Later, his lawyers issued the following statement “No comment”.

        Agreed ... Stevie had a great game, no doubt ... but he looked proppy at half time and he is immensely injury prone. Both have good fixtures, but Arsenal are in a scoring mood at the moment and Walcott has RVP to finish his assists, as opposed to Gerrard who has Carroll and Suarez who both couldn't hit a barn door.

        Mind you ... a hat-trick?!!!!

            Quite possibly ... Reina could score a brace in that game though!

      Walcott. Gerrard is too much of a knee jerk. And he's too injury prone these days.

        I am thinking along the same lines. But at the back of my mind I am thinking is vintage Gerrard back?
        I am going to give both of them one more gameweek to see what happens before I decide.

          Good idea. Don't make the decision to get Gerrard on one gameweek.

          Lumpy also got a hattrick earlier this season. Dying embers from two overpriced players past their prime.

      still think gerrard is an expensive danny murphy.
      however their fixtures are arguably 2nd to man utd and he's on pens, corners and free kicks and we've all built up silly team values. i normally wouldn't even look at him but with silva's struggles and the 3 utd players into 2 spots thing along with other alternatives like mata being allergic to away points and VDV's playing hide and seek since october then maybe it isn't mad to consider gerrard with walcott.
      if the man utd winger situation clear up by gw30 then you can always ditch gerrard having giving him qpr,WIG.
      knee-jerk? possibly a mild patella pump

              exactly, so i've reassessed (can't predict the future, well at least not a hattrick in the derby match).
              i think either way we should wait until the FA cup game for the obvious injury reasons and to see if he can enhance his rep boost from tonight any more

                STILL think gerrard is an expensive danny murphy led me too believe that you hadn't reassessed that much! The instincts, the forward runs, the finishing. Stuff Danny Murphy wishes he (still) possessed!

                  in real life playing style terms i don't mean danny murphy at all, simply in fpl output terms since 2009

      To buy I assume either the Japanese or the Dubliner. Andrews looks like he is in the form of his life scored 2 goals in a row and was unlucky not to score against Man United.
      Go for Andrews.

        Thanks Jordan and Henry.
        A.Ferd out is my topmost priority.

        Its weird how im going to be benching the two home defenders in favour of two away ones.
