Saturday Dugout Discussion – Gameweek 5

22 September 2012 3583 comments

Akers

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.

A) Friedel -> Foster, Ivanovic -> Baines for -4

B) Michu -> Fellaini, Ivanovic -> Baines for -4 (This leaves me with 0 in the bank so will need to be done tonight. Also means tripling up on Everton.)

Team linked. BTW took a hit this week as well to get Berbs in so will be 2 hits in a row. Thanks.

    Look at it this way. If Piennar was brought down for a penalty, and then Mirallas steps up, misses the penalty but scores the rebound, Piennar doesn't get the assist for the penalty. It's the same thing. So Piennar won't get the assist for this one.

  Even the thought of doing it for a hit deserves at least a small point hit, a 2 point deduction should be sufficient.
