Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Saturday

Saturday rolls on with a set of five afternoon kick-offs, rounded off unceremoniously by a tea-time clash as Hull City host Stoke. Interesting.

Before that, all eyes will be on Goodison and Stamford Bridge where two prime captain candidates – namely Romelu Lukaku and Eden Hazard, will carry the hopes of thousands of Fantasy managers as they face up to the Fulham and Crystal Palace defences respectively.

The afternoon’s events are completed by West Brom’s trip to Cardiff, while Newcastle host Southampton and an injury-ravaged West Ham entertain Sunderland.

As always, you can look to our twitter feed for details of the major movements on the teamsheets, while our Dugout Discussion chatroom will take you through today’s matches, right up until the final whistle at the KC Stadium.

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

    Would anyone have a guess at Agueros situation? Hope to hear something soon so I can start tinkering!

    Nigel Spackman, BBC Radio 5 live at Stamford BridgeChelsea 0-0 Crystal Palace

    "Crystal Palace are well drilled now under Tony Pulis and their back four have been far better organised. They need to try and keep that clean sheet for at least 20 minutes today."

    Nice one Nigel - 20 minutes really helps.

    City, United, Chelsea, Stoke, Sunderland, Hammers and Spurs all play midweek. Probably not many first-teamers but worth checking out before you make transfers this week.

    Am I right saying that if you had to choose between Silva and Walcott from GW 18 onwards, it would seem more logical to go Silva as he's got LIV CRY (whereas Walcott's got two away games), and we all know how beasty City are at home? You can always do Silva > Walcott after that.

      Walcott is more like a sticker than Silva who's better at setting up play, will get some but fewer goals. He just scored 2 at the Etihad, tough fixtures home or away don't bother him.
