Saturday Dugout Discussion – Gameweek 5

We start Gameweek 5 at the Liberty Stadium, as Michael Laudrup’s Swansea host Everton. The Dugout Discussion is open, so come in and follow all the day’s action amongst fellow fantasy football managers. The team news is in and there’s one or two surprises…

Swansea XI: Vorm, Rangel, Tate, Williams, Davies, Ki, de Guzman, Michu, Hernandez, Routledge, Graham.
Everton XI: Howard, Neville, Heitinga, Jagielka, Baines, Osman, Pienaar, Coleman, Fellaini, Mirallas, Anichebe.

Following their defeat at Aston Villa last time out, Nathan Dyer and Leon Britton drop to the bench with Ki Sung Yueng and Pablo Hernandez coming in.

Having scored on Monday night against Newcastle, Victor Anichebe earns a starting berth, replacing the injured Nikica Jelavic.

There’s another five Premier League fixtures to enjoy after Swansea and Everton do battle – so plenty of fantasy points on offer all round. The Dugout Discussion chatroom is the place to see them roll in, which can be accessed right here.

They are not going to change their minds. There is no doubt about what happened, it was clear cut and they made their decision. Live with it.

people saying “oh it’s only worth 3 points” are obviously ones without pienaar

assist can also mean bonus points plus how you know we not captain him?

  The likelihood of the assist being given is not in direct relation to how many times you post about it.

Everyone who cares about the assist please email FPL - or even better - You can send the mail to vorm and he will send it to the fpl - that way they get your mail and you get the assist.

  I especially like the way that people think that if they keep saying their opinion, it will somehow effect the outcome of the award of the assist.

I have Pienaar and personally I don't think it is an assist. The reason being as his first shot (which the assist would have counted for) was hit off the post and then it was his second shot that he scored.
