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.

    My paddy power cup matchup is poised in the balance. Comes down to who gets more baps; Jelavic or Nolan. If it's even I win. Sweating on this...

    ok lads. Suarez, what the hell to do?

    Plan was to save this week then slowly build my way into replacing Jelavic with him in GW14 (after jelly has played rdg and NOR). But he continues to perform, but there is his chance of a ban still looming. What to do?

    Is Lambert likely to get any BP's with his assist? If so, I am probably out of the PP Cup* (currently 47-47)

    If not, I should be through on rank*.

    *Barring any unexpected BPs

    Shame Suarez couldn't get another assist or goal for me at the end there, I think that would have been enough to put me through but as it stands - looks like Nolan has put me out of the PP Cup

    He got 59 points and took an 8 point hit = 51 points
    I got 49 points

    It'll come down to BAPs, but he has Nolan and Gorkks, whereas my differentials did very little. Would be hoping for 3 points from Suarez and maybe a surprising point from Ben Arfa and Maloney.

    Very unlikely, well done to my opponent, excellent score.

        That will just match Nolan's though. So I'll be needing to make 2 points up elsewhere - none of the others did anything so it's pretty much nail in the coffin for me.

        Oh well, I've posted a decent score nonetheless. Just bad luck in the end as I really thought Suarez was going to get another goal / assist at the end.

        Frustrating though mind!
