With the Aston Villa and Bolton fixture understandably postponed, we’re at Ewood Park tonight as Gameweek 29 soldiers on. It’s relegation-threatened Blackburn at home to the recently relentless Sunderland. Fantasy managers are likely to have modest interest – with Yakubu and James McClean the most likely hopefuls on show. Nevertheless, our Dugout Discussion chatroom has opened up to catch your reactions as the match progresses.

Blackburn XI: Robinson, Lowe, Dann, Hanley, Martin Olsson, Nzonzi, Pedersen, Formica, Hoilett, Marcus Olsson, Yakubu.

Sunderland XI: Mignolet, Bardsley, Kyrgiakos, Turner, Bridge, Larsson, Gardner, Vaughan, McClean, Bendtner, Campbell.

The team news finds Kean resisting the temptation to tinker, despite the availability of David Dunn, Gael Givet and Bradley Orr. It’s an unchanged lineup from the one that saw off Wolves at Molineux last time out then.

As for the visitors, they’re without skipper John O’Shea, presumably through injury or illness, so Sotirios Kyrgiakos comes into the back four for his Black Cats debut. Elsewhere, Martin O’Neill brings in David Vaughan for Jack Colback.

The Dugout Discussion chatroom is open and can be accessed right here.

    Who will win this gameweek?

    Me: Van Persie (c), Walcott, Skrtel, Drenthe +6 points
    Rival: Aguero, Silva, Enrique, Van Persie

    I know it looks like I should win but can anyone see an Aguero/Silva stormer and Persie no goals, it could happen /:

      It'll take a bizarre set of results for you to lose.

    They won't, you can bookmark this..
    Chelsea are missing John Terry, City have been scoring goals for fun at home this season. If you can't see Drogba not scoring, I say the same about Kun.
    Look at Chelseas recent away record, also - WBA (1-0 loss) Everton (2-0 loss) Swansea (1-1 draw) Norwich (0-0) Wolves (2-1 win) Tottenham (1-1) Wigan (1-1)
    I feel a bet coming along 😉

      City's backline having to Lescott and probably no Kompany is a boost to Chelsea though.

      Think it's a tough one to call.

      I have Silva, Richards, Mata. Hopefully that means I am pretty well covered whichever way the match goes.

    I need lady luck to change, 50/50 calls keep falling the wrong way for me. Played Sinclair last week and he missed a pen. Played McClean away at Blackburn and benched Sinclair after some impressive Fulham home displays. Hindsight is a wonderful thing. Just annoying when a rival has an inferior squad, has injury and suspension within so the side picks itself – And it comes up trumps.

    Greetings, dear friends.

    After 48 long and excruciating hours of being in "moderation", I am delighted to announce that, I, the great Sir Willis Hide, have re-earned the privilege to post on Fantasy Football Scout! I am returning as a new person, a reborn man, one who is no longer blinded by his past mistakes. From the bottom of my heart, and with great remorse and sincerity, I apologise for the pain and suffering I have inflicted upon each one of you during my previous tenure. From this day onward, I vow to be an individual who has the respect of individuals, one who is admired by others for his great wisdom and infinite knowledge. I shall no longer provoke, offend, disrespect or abuse my fellow comrades. Instead, I will, with every inch of effort and ability within me, attempt to radiate my sagacity to all, so that everyone will be able to inherit the slightest iotas of my flawless state of being.

    Yours sincerely,

    Willis Hide.
