Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Saturday

Another double Gameweek is upon us in a weekend marked by FA Cup semi-finals and remembrance of those lost in the Hillsborough tragedy.

Saturday serves six afternoon encounters as an introduction to tomorrow’s potential title decider at Anfield between Liverpool and City. Fantasy managers will be focused on the double Gameweek assets on show at the Stadium of Light, as a seemingly doomed Sunderland host an Everton side flowing with confidence off the back of six straight wins.

Elsewhere, Palace play the first of their two matches in the Gameweek with struggling Villa the visitors to Selhurst Park, while Spurs will continue their unlikely campaign for fourth spot with a trip to relegation threatened West Brom. Southampton can go a long way to banishing Cardiff to the Championship via their St Mary’s clash, while Fulham and Norwich battle out a six-pointer at the Cottage. Finally, Stoke and Newcastle cosy up to mid-table safety at the Britannia.

Look to our Twitter feed for news of today’s teamsheets, while our Dugout Discussion chatroom is available to those who fancy some real-time reactions.

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

            schoolboy error I guess.

    So frustrated that Mirrallas hasn't been used at all today. He's gone next week!

    Help me pick 1:

    A) Mata
    B) Erriksen
    C) Lallana
    D) Schurle
    E) Someone else

    My midfield is Nasri, Gerrard, Yaya, Bacuna, Mirallas.

    Can afford anyone but can't get a city as own 3 already.
