Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Sunday

Sunday brings the Gameweek to a close with a trio of matches featuring an array of Fantasy talent. Things get rolling with a pair of lunchtime kick-offs, as Villa host United and Swansea make the trip to Carrow Road to face Chris Hughton’s Norwich. That’s followed by the headline act, as Andre Villas-Boas looks to continue the Spurs revival against a Liverpool unit weakened by a string of injuries.

While the press will be focused on David Moyes, Fantasy managers will be more interested in Wayne Rooney’s performance. With a potential absence for Sergio Aguero looming, the United striker could make himself “essential” over the Christmas period if he can produce in the midlands. With Michu expected to earn a run-out at Norwich, we’ll have the opportunity to assess whether he can join both David Silva and Theo Walcott on our midfield Christmas list, while at 4pm, all eyes will be on Luis Suarez as he looks to overcome the absence of skipper Steven Gerrard and strike partner Daniel Sturridge against the Spurs back four.

Look to our Twitter feed for the latest teamsheet bulletins, while our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open and will remain available throughout today’s three fixtures.

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

    I think you guys are underestimating your scores on here .. I agree that most of us didnt captain suarez ..but then look at it this way "most of us didnt captain suarez" .. so you wont lose much ground

      It makes some sense. The Kolarov cake is a tasty cake which I get the whole of.

      Fletcher slice is merely that, a slice. A slice being the inferior relation of the cake.

        if your going to eat poo cake you need some sweet icing.

        the way I see it is differentials only prosper if you've also covered the "essentials".
