Dugout Discussion – Monday

The Gameweek concludes at the Liberty Stadium where Liverpool put their 100% record on the line against a Swansea side buoyed by their 2-0 win at the Hawthorns last time out.

Brendan Rodgers returns to his old stamping ground and will be expecting a “warm” reception, along with a typically slick Swansea performance that is sure to test Liverpool’s new found resolve at the back.

The team news finds that Daniel Sturridge has been passed fit to play despite missing the recent England internationals with a thigh problem. Andre Wisdom is handed the right-back role in Glen Johnson’s absence, while Martin Skrtel and Mamadou Sakho are the centre-backs – Kolo Toure only makes the bench after a groin problem, with Daniel Agger missing out altogether after picking up a knock in training on Sunday. Further up the field, Brendan Rodgers names Victor Moses on the left, allowing Philippe Coutinho to move centrally to “the hole”, with summer signing Iago Aspas dropping to the bench.

For Swansea, Michael Laudrup brings in Leon Britton and Nathan Dyer for Jose Canas and Pablo Hernandez – the latter misses out due to a hamstring problem; a real blow to the 185,000 Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers who snapped him up over the international break.

Our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open to accommodate the real-time chatter throughout tonight’s encounter.

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

    Coutinho's problem is becoming increasingly simple, people aren't finishing his passes, and he's refusing to shoot.

    This is really a much more game of luck than I care to admit - Sturridge(c) was a complete fluke, and these 7x2 = 14 points make me so damn pleased..

    At the same time, 2 solid transfers that handsomely paid off -: Aguero + Campbell > Giroud + Sturridge

    Don't take the word of these patient and all-knowing FPL managers here as gospel. Many will say you're chasing last week's bandwagon, it's not necessarily a bad thing to do.

      I fully agree, actually ditched Nolan (for profit) and Walters (before drop) for Ramsey and Hba (both already up .1 for me. Freshens things up, certainly an upgrade imo, and actually banked cash to spend elsewhere.
