The Dugout Discussion – Sunday

Gameweek 28 concludes with three concurrent Premier League meetings, all kicking off at the unfamiliar time of 4.30pm.

It’s fair to say that the attentions of Fantasy Football managers will be firmly focused on White Hart Lane, where Spurs host a Cardiff side that has shipped 14 goals in their previous five away trips. We’re all anticipating a big home win, with Emmanuel Adebayor carrying the captaincy hopes for so many. Given Luis Suarez’s haul in yesterday’s win at Southampton, the expectation on the Spurs striker to deliver has intensified.

Elsewhere, owners of Robert Snodgrass will be hoping that he can maintain the form that saw him snatch the winner against Spurs last time out. The Scot is part of the Norwich side that faces up to Villa in the midlands today, while over in South Wales, Swansea will host Crystal Palace, with Wilfried Bony perhaps the most significant Fantasy asset on show.

Our Twitter feed will supply all the teamsheet news from these encounters, while the Dugout Discussion chatroom is once again open and welcoming all-comers who are in search of some real-time reactions.

I can put out 10 outfield players next week but no keeper. Would you save the tranny to get fixed up for the dgw or use ft to get a keeper? I think I'm going to save it

  For a keeper I might save it, unless they have a DGW later as well.

Captain Shirokov
10 years, 3 months ago
Boruc

Ward - Cahill - Olsson

Puncheon - Hazard - Lallana

Ade

Bench: Suarez, Sturridge, Cazorla, Koscielny, Yaya, Reid.

I have 8 players for next week (potentially 7 depending on Puncheon) yet I'm not too pushed to make a transfer.

Only one I can think of is Caz to Mata but Mata's looked just as bad at United as he did at Chelsea earlier this season.

Should I save? 😯

Balls, I just failed to make my subs in UFPL by missing the deadline by 2 minutes. Fml.

Just got the lineups, was about to sort everything out, when I realised my food was burning in the kitchen, filled the room with smoke and went to deal with that.

I was 830th or so in the world, there goes my chance of a top 100 finish.

I should've just subbed my players in yesterday, instead of waiting for the lineups, they're all playing anyway

  There were a few surprises in midfield today, would have cost others that did their subs early. Its not ideal but if you did well yesterday I don't think its a complete disaster. If Spurs v Cardiff isn't a massacre you can still do well.

    In my FPL team i'm hoping for Adebayor to go crazy, and in UFPL was planning on bringing him off the bench and handing him the armband. Did decently, but not amazingly yesterday, and had a Sturridge captain fail.
    
    Ah well, I knew what I was getting into when I signed up for this game, got to roll with the punches

      You won't be the only high ranking manager that makes this mistake over the 12 GWs.
      
      I didn't captain Adebayor in UFPL today simply because I don't have him in FPL and really want him to blank.

So Fulham have sacked their manager twice this season, west brom and cardiff could easily do the same. Surely records are being set for managerial sackings?

  7 gone in the PL this season, including managers sacked/left at the end of a season the most is 15 managerial changes in 94/95

B) Clyne to 5.0 Defender or less
C) Do both A and B with both FTs
D) Save both FTs
E) Any ideas on what to do

Cheers in advance everybody 🙂
