Dugout Discussion

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.

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

    Suarez would be top PL scorer (I got ridiculed saying this at the start of the season for saying this)
    Villa 4 Norwich 1 (I said this earlier but no ridicule)

      You won and Soldado scored, I'd take that as a good day.

      Only 6 points off Liverpool and Arsenal, plenty of games to go. Considering you sacked AVB, the signings haven't really performed and you lost Bale, you could be doing a lot worse.

        It's the hope that kills you. We were meant to be competing for top-4 all season so being six points behind the most in-form team in the league doesn't fill me with hope that we'll catch them.
