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.

    Steven Gerrard will be ideal replacement for Michu. Had a horrible game last night at the Emirates. Would be looking to bounce back. Suarez in the team is an added advantage for him.

    REPOST

    I accept I need to get rid of Michu - and I'm relieved to be honest.

    But to those getting Oscar in, you have this GW but then he'll be off for internationals in Honduras and Brazil prior to GW12. Is that not a concern?

    Is Coutinho nailed on now he's back? Any chance of him getting in the Brazil squad too?

    Benteke is the man to get in this week if you're looking for an under the radar differential replacement for lukaku.

    He's performed well, a crossbar and a great save from becoming essential again.
