The Dugout Discussion – Sunderland Vs Southampton

The first of seven Saturday encounters kicks off at the Stadium of Light as Sunderland entertain Southampton this lunchtime.

Following the Wearside encounter, there are five games to focus on at 3pm, with Arsenal and City’s home clashes against Fulham and Cardiff heavily-backed by Fantasy managers. The evening match at Anfield then follows, as Captain Poll favourite Luis Suarez looks to run riot against Villa’s porous backline.

The Black Cats are looking for a fourth straight win on all competitions and, having already beaten City, Chelsea and United at home under Gus Poyet, they’ll fancy their chances of claiming another scalp against Adam Lallana and co.

As always, you can look to our Twitter feed for all the teamsheet news, while our Dugout Discussion chatroom has opened up to cater for your real-time requirements for this game and all of today’s matches.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    While everyone is buzzing over the game, has anyone called in their WC for this GW yet? 🙂

        Same scenario here!
        But I'm not sure whether to jump on considering I'd drop Ozil, my only AFC cover :/

          I'm building my WC side around a Big 5 of Hazard, Ozil, Silva, Aguero and Suarez. May switch Ozil for Ramsey if the latter proves his fitness/form, given that he's 3m cheaper.

            I guess that means you'll have to go cheap defenders right? Looks good but could be costly

              Koscielny, Coleman and 3 rotating cheapies. Getting Ramsey instead of Ozil will let me get a City or Chelsea defender, but I haven't decided yet.

      I always thought gw 23 would be a strange gw to do a wildcard on, man city away to tottenham. southampton v arsenal, liverpool v everton. very hard to get the wildcard team right for those fixtures

        I fear I'll be priced out the market for players like Aguero etc. plus a wildcard's for long-term, not just one gameweek.

          Pretty much this.
          Was hoping Ramsey would be back too this week. Weren't too many double risers last week either and next week is a short one.

    Coleman Azpilecueta Koscielny Clyne Chester
    Silva Hazard Lallana Ramsey Ki
    Aguero Suarez Sturridge

    I would have to hit the WC button tonight to afford. Go for it?
