Sunday Dugout Discussion

A bumper Sunday of seven Premier League matches gets under way at the Britannia as Gareth Bale looks to keep Fantasy managers in cheer and Tottentham’s top four ambitions on target.

There are five three o’clock kick offs to follow that, with United’s emotional farewell to Sir Alex Ferguson capping things off an hour later. Nobody really knows what to expect from that one, with plenty banking on returns from Robin Van Persie, with the Dutchman again established as an armband favourite.

Our Dugout Discussion is now open to provide real-time chat support throughout all of today’s matches.

The team news from today’s early kick-off find Stoke making just one change, with Matt Etherington fit enough to replace Cameron Jerome as Stoke look to be shifting to a 4-5-1. As for Spurs, Andre Villas-Boas makes two changes as Steven Caulker comes in for Benoit Assou-Ekotto and Clint Dempsey replaces Lewis Holtby in midfield.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

                Yeah or Coutinho or ben arfa, they're the 5 I'll have to deliberate over this week.

      I don't think he'll play Sunday personally, 3rd place is sewn up now and he'll play on Wednesday in the final.

        Yeah I thought this also. In which case I'll get rid of him and keep baines.

    If it's any consolation, my second (illegal team) scored 51(-4) with Sturridge (C).

    That team will end the season higher than my proper one.

    What does everyone think is a safe lead in a mini league? I am leading. Is 40 points too much to overhaul now?

    Is the jury not out on RVP assists. I know it's last touch but in both cases RVP has not deliberately set up the goal. Ashley Williams hands the first one to Hernandez and Ferdinand was not the intended target of the second one. Two crucial last interventions by others.

    (I don't own RVP)

    1 FT & £2.7
    Hart
    Vertonghen - Enrique - Sagna
    Bale - Mata - Walcott - Coutinho
    RVP - Sturridge - Tevez

    Sub: Federici, Clyne, Townsend, Harte

    Considering selling Mata > Cazorla, but any other smart transfers? Cannot pick one out at the moment.
