The Dugout Discussion – Sunday

Sunday brings Gameweek 10 to a close with the early kick-off at Goodison as Everton host Spurs, while at tea-time, we’re treated to the first Premier League South Wales derby as Cardiff welcome rivals Swansea.

Fantasy managers still totting up their tallies from City’s rout of Norwich will now look to the likes of Leighton Baines and Romelu Lukaku against Spurs, while eyes will be on Michu as he looks to break a drought of four league outings without a goal for the Swans when they face the Bluebirds.

The team news from Goodison Park looks significant from a Fantasy perspective as Roberto Martinez drops Ross Barkley to the bench for the first time this term. The youngster (owned by 35% of FPL teams) makes way for Leon Osman in the central midfield three after the latter climbed off the bench to grab a goal and assist in the previous Gameweek.

Spurs are unchanged from the side that craped past Hull last Sunday. This sees Aaron Lennon keep his place in the XI ahead of Gylfi Sigurdsson, in spite of the latter’s wonder goal in the Capital One Cup – Christian Eriksen and Erik Lamela warm the bench once again, whilst Jan Vertonghen continues at left-back.

Our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open and available to support you real-time reactions throughout today’s matches.

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

      Sorry mate, you won't find much sympathy here. The stage was set for him to show up today tbh, and he didn't.

      What's more, he is obviously carrying an ankle injury. His ankle was taped really heavily much like Andy Murray's and he has really dodgy ankles. Ditching i'm afraid.

    Obviously Michu has got to go but I'd have to take a hit. It will probably be Hazard in. Suppose Michu scores next week and gets 8-10 points since he has an easy home game, what are the chances Hazard scores 4 points more than him to justify the hit?

      I don't give a sh*t about hits anymore.

      Last season my fortunes changed with a 12 pt hit. I think the same is going to have to happen this week now. Fortunately got 2 frees anyway but a lot of surgery needs to be done this week.

      Michu and Benteke are the first casualties.

    Michu has been mismanaged this season by Laudrup. He hasn't given him a minute off all season playing 2 games a week every week. Even when he was asking to come off today, Laudrup delayed it long enough for Cardiff to score.

    Get rid, the fixtures are meaningless.

    Anyways, blew all that up yesterday with Giroud + Sturridge + Michu -> Aguero + Suarez + Mirallas (refuse to get Ramsey for at least one more week). Hope I didn't screw myself going for last week's point's scorers.

    it was always obvious that Michu wont do well in 2nd season , just like demi said

    he is just too slow and now when opposite defence know his style is way too easy to mark him

    in his first season he had flying start cause people didnt have a clue about him

    he now joins to likes of : Siggy,Cisse,Jelavic....hopefully Benteke will be on that list soon as well

      I would like to know why the other teams would require one entire season to figure him out. Could they not figure him out in the middle of last season then? What about 3/4ths of the way through?

      Or is it that realisation suddenly dawned upon all of the teams together this summer?
      May I remind you that not only did he have a flying start but a flying flight and a flying end last season.
