Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Monday

It’s nights like this that separate Fantasy managers from the typical football fan. Sunderland’s home game with West Ham may not offer immediate appeal to most folk, but for us, the chance of a Vito Mannone clean sheet makes our Monday viewing worth the while:

The Black Cats have kept out their opponents in two of the last three at the Stadium of Light, and with a pair of double Gameweeks still to follow, their main Fantasy assets are central to our thoughts this evening. Adam Johnson owners will be frustrated, though, with the wide man left on the bench once again by Gus Poyet.

Sam Allardyce’s side will be looking to build on last week’s home win over Hull – a victory tonight would take them 12 points clear of the Wearsiders and give the Hammers breathing space ahead of a tricky schedule which sees them square up to Liverpool, Arsenal, Spurs and City in the remaining six Gameweeks.

Our Twitter feed has the latest news from the Stadium of Light, while our Dugout Discussion chatroom is once again open for any folk wishing to vent in real-time.

    Kolorov doesn't play so I have Collins coming in for him. Oh hang on, he didn't play either so I have Colback coming on. Oh hang on, he didn't play either so I have WARD coming on!

            I'll take it! Needed it this week! Sure I've had several weeks of 20+ on the bench! Think I've lost over a hundred in wrong keeper played alone!

            will have to assess him this week, if he misses out this week probably not. I could swap Flanagan to Chester to free it up as for 6.3 or less the options aren't very appealing bat possibly Holtby.
