[sbu_large_image] Dugout Discussion

17 September 2012 2146 comments

Akers

Gameweek four concludes tonight at Goodison Park, as Everton play host to Newcastle United. The Dugout Discussion opens to see two sides with high ambitions for the season tussle it out. The team news is in and is as follows…

Everton XI: Howard, Hibbert, Jagielka, Distin, Baines, Mirallas, Neville, Osman, Pienaar, Fellaini, Jelavic.
Newcastle XI: Harper, Perch, Williamson, S Taylor, Santon, Anita, Cabaye, Gutierrez, Marveaux, Ben Arfa, Cisse.

David Moyes makes two changes from the side that suffered defeat at the hands of West Brom in matchday three, with Tony Hibbert and Kevin Mirallas starting in place of Darron Gibson and Steven Naismith.

As for the visitors, Steve Harper replaces the injured Tim Krul, and James Perch and Mike Williamson patch up the defence in the absence of Danny Simpson and Fabricio Coloccini. Slyvain Marveaux is a surprise inclusion, as Demba Ba drops to the bench.

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

People asking why you pay 7m for Baines?

Exhibit A people. Get in.

He's my sixth midfielder. 🙂

  I don't believe in big money defenders as you lose most points through the defence. Baines is the big exception

When is everyone using their wildcards?

I am thinking of waiting around for a few more gameweeks if i can help it.

I want to have a clear picture of which teams look solid defensively before picking defenders from these teams which rotate nicely

  Me too. I'm thinking of playing it at the next international break. I have a good few changes I'd like to make but on the whole my team isn't doing too bad, so no urgency.

Unless Baines comes out wearing a PES t-shirt for the second half, I'd wager that's 3 bonus points courtesy of the EA PPI already 😉
