The Dugout Discussion – Sunday

The Gameweek continues with a pair of Sunday afternoon encounters, beginning with Tottenham’s trip to South Wales as they take on Swansea, before Chelsea and United see us into the Sunday roast with a would-be classic at the Bridge.

Fantasy managers are likely to have plenty invested in today’s matches, with recent differentials Christian Eriksen and Emmanuel Adeabayor on show at the Liberty, while Eden Hazard and Oscar will carry the hopes for many in the 4pm kick-off.

The team news from Swansea finds the home side make just one change: Chico returns to the starting XI and takes his place alongside Ashley Williams, allowing Jordi Amat to shift to midfield to cover for the injured Jose Canas. Tim Sherwood also makes just one change to the Spurs starting lineup that saw off Palace last time out. Roberto Soldado’s season continues to go from bad to worse as he’s dropped to the bench. It’s a 4-5-1 from the visitors, then, as Nacer Chadli is drafted in with Christian Eriksen perhaps set to be pushed up behind Emmanuel Adebayor.

As usual, our Dugout Discussion chatroom is open to capture the real-time rise and fall in fortunes as today’s matches unfold.

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

    Laudrup has seriously lost the plot this year. All those new players and he has not a clue what they do or where to put them.
    Got fixated on the Mickey Mouse Europa Cup. Many games like this and they'll be going down.

      He's got his entire first choice midfield injured, give them a chance.

      And call it the Mickey Mouse cup or whatever you want, but I'd rather finish 15th and have a good EL run than finish 9th and not be in it.

      Been dragged into a relegation battle but I think they have enough to get out of it. Having a goalscorer like Bony in the team is worth a couple of extra wins for sure.

      It just goes round in circles though. What do Pardew and Newcastle aim for this season? They are having a good season but aren't good enough for top 4 so do they deliberately finish outside the Europa places?

          I agree that 6th place is probably better than 5th but you are in dangerous territory when you attempt to be picky on the league position you end up in. You just have to aim for as high a position as possible.

    I see every WC team has Arsenal defenders in, mainly Kosc.

    I have Merte and got him cheap (5.6M) but am willing to sell on. Arsenal's fixtures don't look the best at all and they have a habit of choking around this time of year!

    Chelsea, City or even Utd for me....
