Sunday Dugout Discussion – Gameweek 11

We’ve got three fixtures to enjoy on this Sunday of Premier League action. After league-leaders Manchester United narrowly took three points yesterday at Villa Park, it’s time for the other two title contenders to respond. The Dugout Discussion opens for the juicy encounter at the Etihad Stadium between hosts Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur. The team news is in, and is as follows…

Man City XI: Hart, Zabaleta, Kompany, Nastasic, Clichy, Yaya Toure, Barry, Kolarov, Silva, Tevez, Aguero.

Spurs XI: Friedel, Walker, Gallas, Caulker, Vertonghen, Sandro, Huddlestone, Lennon, Bale, Dempsey, Adebayor.

Roberto Mancini makes four changes from last weekends goalless draw against West Ham, which includes the return of David Silva after a month-long lay-off. As for the visitors, Jermain Defoe misses out despite a midweek hattrick in the Europa League, which means Emmanual Adebayor lines up against his former employers.

Following events in Manchester there will be another tasty battle, this time in the capital where Liverpool travel down to Chelsea. In and amongst, at 3p.m., Newcastle United welcome the visit West Ham United.

You can take in all the action in our Dugout Discussion chatroom, which is open and can be accessed right here.

    This fantasy game should not be played scared of your rivals.
    I was happy for my team, but "everyone" else had Ba and looking at his fixtures, I just had to do it, Berba =>Ba 🙁

    It will take couple of days to get over this...

      I've also avoided Berbatov because I knew almost my entire ML has him. Has cost me a little bit over past few weeks.

        If my entire ML, and every one of their MLs, and their brother's MLs, had Berbatov and I thought he had the best points potential, I'd still bring him in.

      I haven't had Ba all season and I have been worried at times. The only player I could not have is RVP, for obvious reasons.
