The Dugout Discussion – Sunday

Sunday presents two further Premier League encounters with a variety of Fantasy heavy-hitters on show.

Events begin at Anfield, with Liverpool starting life without Luis Suarez with an encounter against a Southampton side ravaged by a summer exodus. It’s a fascinating scenario that’s set to feature an-all start case of assets, including Daniel Sturridge and Raheem Sterling – players burdened by big Fantasy ownership and expectation. The Saints, meanwhile, arrive on Merseyside looking to gel quickly after a flurry of new arrivals under the guidance of new boss, Ronald Koeman.

The day concludes at St James’ Park, as Newcastle host champions City. Manuel Pellegrini will likely field a much-changed side to the XI that suffered a Community Shield reverse against Arsenal. Even so, Fantasy investment in the City ranks has been tempered, with Yaya Toure remaining the top target, finding his way into 20% of Fantasy Premier League squads. Like Southampton, Newcastle present us with an array of new signings to assess, making Sunday a vital opportunity to scout talent.

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

          Thoughts on Dzeko so far today? Couple of good chances, Jovetic taken off first, plus solid returns in the shape of an assist. Surely it's been a decent afternoon for his owners?

              Alas, Aguero. At least the evidence suggests that Aguero's sidekick will be Dzeko, not Jovetic. It's Negredo's return that Dzeko owners should be worried about IMO.

          Dzeko has to be pretty much nailed on, doesn't he? Can't really see how he wouldn't play, as he complements Aguero rather than challenging him.

          Feel bad for going for the budget option instead of him

                I see. Hard to say to be honest, Mata really is a good pick but I understand wanting to ditch. Assuming you don't have the funds for it but I think Eriksen -> Siggy and Austin -> Dzeko is the best choice myself.
