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.

    how does the dectuing of points work? a guy in my ml has -20 this round, and he has now 120 points, when will they deduct those 20 points? did they decuct points before this round? or after the round? or before next round??

        It actually decreases the chances of a goal imo because Aurelio's crossing is superior. I think it shows how little they care about the result tonight.

      He is against wolves away so there is surely goals in it.

    Right then. All i need is an Enrique goal/assist, a Pienaar red card, a goal from Dempsey and a goal from Jelavic with a Hibbert assist. It's the only thing that could make me not feel so stupid for my Pienaar and Walker out last minute decision.

      I only played the demo on that.
      But on fm2010 I always played a 4-1dm-2-2(wingers)-1 striker. 1 of the cm box to box and the other play-maker.
      Then when the team gets good I play 4-1-3-2 no wingers and narrow. Very adaptable if you have a couple of players who can play both on the wing and up front.

      Thats all I know! Good luck.
