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.

    1)Aguero to Roonpig or Negredo?

    2)Coleman now a priority with the huge ownwrship? Have Jags.

    3) Stick with Terry or drop him for Mert/Walker/Zab?

      I'd definitely go Rooney. Weighing up Lukaku and Negredo myself as I have Rooney already.

      Also considering Coleman back in for -4, great fixtures. Poor decision to sell.

    Two questions:

    1. Is Chamakh a viable option as a third forward (with Suarez and Rooney)?
    2. Is a Ozil, Walcott, Ramsey midfield complete madness or worth getting?

      Right then Aguero has to go. Even if he's only out for, say, 2 weeks that still means 4 matches over the congested schedule. Easy swap to Rooney or Negredo.

      Also need to get rid of Ivanovic too which is tricky. Thinking Zab, Kyle Walker or Dawson. Any suggestions?

    Perspective people...

    Aguero is still at 15% to increase in price!

    He wont drop in price for at least a couple of days.

    Plus, a player has to drop twice before it lowers your selling price.

    Plus, there are games tomorrow & midweek.

    Keep calm & listen to RonH.

        For me I am 0.1 short of Vlaar to Coleman and Coleman is rising, will have to go today or miss the rise. Could be important when I bring Kun back.

    Bemba's prediction:

    Aguero to be ruled out of Fulham with people selling on mass fearing the worst. Doubt for Palace boxing day with no press conference due to christmas. Ends up starting bagging a hat-trick

    Differential aguero for the win.

        Early WC will be used by many in that case.

      Meh, if he's gonna be out for any more than 2 fixtures I'm gonna get rid

      not worth having to play 5 midfielders (including redmond and barkley) and taking a massive finincial hit for a potential Diff

    If Aguero is out for a while how does this sound for a -8 have exactly enough to do it.

    Aguero, Terry, Mignolet and Brunt to Walcott, Negredo, Marshall and G.Johnson
