The Dugout Discussion

There may only be two matches in the Premier League today but with Clint Dempsey carrying the armband for thousands of Fantasy managers, there’s still plenty of interest. Our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open to soak up the reaction from today’s two games at Fulham and Wigan.

The Cottagers take on Swansea with skipper Danny Murphy dropping to the bench, presumably as a result of the facial injury picked up in the first half at Villa last time out. Mahamadou Diarra comes into the Fulham engine room. Elsewhere, Martin Jol recalls Bryan Ruiz to the right flank, with Damien Duff dropping to the bench.

The big news for the visitors concerns Ashley Williams, who loses his ever present record for Swansea – dropping out with a virus. Gary Monk takes his place and skippers the visitors.

At the DW Stadium, Roberto Martinez brings Shaun Maloney into his starting XI after his smart assist for Victor Moses’ goal at Carrow Road on Sunday. Jordi Gomez drops to the bench. Wigan are without Hugo Rodallega, however, his knock sustained at Norwich rules him out. Franco Di Santo starts.

There’s five changes from Roy Hodgson – surprisingly Differential pick Marc-Antoinne Fortune drops to the bench with Shane Long drafted in up front. The likes of Peter Odemwingie and Keith Andrews miss out through injury, while Jonas Olsson is banned. Nicky Shorey, Paul Scharner and Jerome Thomas all make returns to the starting lineup.

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

              yes, Mancini loves him. i just think with Tevez in the picture, he'll still get his playing time. +Balo is on penalties so might be worth it. other than that, your Caulker move should be okay without a hit.

              You know they're both not playing. It's been said hundreds of times. Don't be too happy that a defender playing in midfield vs. Norwich and a Utd midfielder isn't playing against Wolves though...

      Even more frustrating because I'd earmarked this as a potentially big week to make up a big gap, but that may have been scuppered by bloody swans defenders.
