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.

  That stats were against him even after he had the goals in the first 3 Gameweeks.
  
  I got at 6.5 and the fact that everyone else has him is why I have kept him after WC'ing last week. He'll probably go after GW8 home to Wigan.

  Everton are a tough team, and he had 2 of the 3 best chances today for swansea. But he's definitely on notice with other mids performing so well

For those talking about Michu out, he cost you 6.5-7.4m and has 4 goals and 1 assist in 5 games. His next 3 fixtures are sto, RDG, WIG. What more could you want.
