Dugout Discussion

Tuesday Dugout Discussion

Tonight we have four of the eight double Gameweek teams on show, and the Dugout Discussion opens to follow all the action as it unfolds. There may be little real-life significance in the two fixtures, but with our Fantasy campaigns on-the-line, here is the all-important team news…

Liverpool XI: Doni, Kelly, Coates, Skrtel, Aurelio, Henderson, Shelvey, Spearing, Maxi, Carroll, Kuyt.

Fulham XI: Schwarzer, Kelly, Hangeland, Hughes, John Arne Riise, Duff, Murphy, Dembele, Kacaniklic, Dempsey, Pogrebnyak.

Kenny Dalglish shuffles his pack with this weekend’s FA Cup final in mind, and Martin Jol makes three changes to his side, as Danny Murphy, Stephen Kelly and Alex Kacaniklic are all handed starting berths.

Stoke XI: Begovic, Huth, Upson, Shawcross, Wilson, Walters, Whitehead, Delap, Etherington, Jones, Crouch.

Everton XI: Howard, Hibbert, Heitinga, Jagielka, Distin, Anichebe, Osman, Fellaini, Pienaar, Cahill, Jelavic.

Matthew Upson, Rory Delap and Kenwyne Jones all earn starts for the home side this evening, with Tim Cahill and Victor Anichebe coming in for the visitors.

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

      To all those who questioned my wisdom in owning Kolarov, I shipped Skrtel to get him, and then shipped him for Jags this week

      So far this has been an excellent series of changes.

          Had I not owned Kolarov in between I would not have got 7 points from Santon off my bench a couple of weeks back. Also it is unlikely i would have sold Skrtel when he had a DGW, and so would have that -1 sitting there instead of 6 from Jags. So all in all.

                Yep, I'm thinking Suarez will be too expensive for it to be worth it, at least until he catches some serious form. His finishing has been piss poor all season, I'm not convinced regardless of his display in the last match.

        Jesus, Skrtel playing means that 14 point Kompany didn't get off my bench, and now he goes and scores an OG. Have to laugh really.

        Anichebe injury is great news for us Pienaar owners, as it seems he's playing as the support striker to Jellyfish now.

        More chance of goals and assists 🙂
