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.

Anybody else have Rangel and/or Graham in their team? I'm seriously concerned at this stage. Will probably stick with Rangel until their fixtures dip, though, by which stage he'll have surely racked up enough yellow cards for a ban. Graham out asap is probably the best move though?

    true. He's done nothing in this second half, though, despite the team creating a good 6 or 7 great chances. Playing too deep for my liking and not following up his passes enough to get into the danger zone.
