Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Sunday

After a subdued Saturday programme, Sunday explodes on us with veritable feast of football featuring five of last season’s top seven sides. While Chelsea’s visit to the Etihad at tea-time is undoubtedly the headline act, we’ve plenty to keep us engaged until the 4pm kick-off.

The day begins with a pair of fixtures, with Leicester looking to continue their impressive start to their campaign against Louis van Gaal’s United redux, whilst at the Lane, Spurs will be seeking to dish out further punishment to a West Brom side that’s faltered out of the blocks so far.

That’s rounded off by the main event in Manchester, with Everton’s Goodison clash with Crystal Palace running alongside it. Fantasy managers look set for a eventful afternoon,then, with the day’s events potential turning Gameweek fortunes on their head.

As always, you can look to our Twitter feed for all the teamsheet news and key injury updates as the night draws in and Gameweek 5 draws to a close.

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

    Need one of my Hazard or Dzeko differentials to do something today, or this is their swan song in my team.

    So close to a Costa tap in.

      Would have been a Ivanovic assist

    Looking for a bit of sympathy.

    Was in a strip club until 6am this morning - wakes up and finds Naismith didn't play - 3 men out on the bench means 10 players.

    Anybody know why he didn't play?

      Does mentioning the strip club make any difference to what you said?

        We would never get on. So don't reply to any of my comments in future please.

      You must have left him in there. You were supposed to be keeping an eye on him.

      1. Screaming Midget
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        😀 Strange decision to bench a form striker though.

    5. Podge

      How was the club ?

      1. Screaming Midget

    1. Kip
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Depends on whether Naismith will get a cameo or not

    2. Woy
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Reckon so

    3. Screaming Midget

    6. Gimli son of Gloin
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Meh, on 43 with Terry, Costa and Zaha ''playing'' .. suppose it's not much cause for huge complaint.

  9. The Light Knight
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Why are people surprised this is an awful game? Jose is famous for it

    1. svasei - Up (?) the Rovers
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Man City started the fouling when Chelsea was breaking.

    2. vice
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      For you an awful game is 42 goals? It's a spectacular game to watch for me so far.

      1. vice
        • 9 Years

        I think you'd fancy La Liga more. 😉

  11. Paul Psychic Octopus

    • 13 Years

    Naismith needs to stay on the bench. Have PVA, Wisdom and Fab waiting on mine.

    1. Give The Todd Some Love
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      He'll definitely come on

  12. AlCapwnUK
    • 10 Years

    apart from Silva the passing has been pretty meh

  13. Captain Shirokov
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Silva should have been sent off.

  14. svasei - Up (?) the Rovers
    • 14 Years

    Almost Ivan > Costa orgasm.

  15. Wild Rover
    • 13 Years

    1. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years

      90 mins, red card and an injury?

  20. VougieDipond
    • 11 Years

    There is a guy on my fb waiting on Everton to draw for 16.5k on 1 pound 8 draw accumulator

      • 10 Years

    I hope United are watching how Chelsea get everyone behind the ball when they lose possession.

    1. Not Irish
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Well they are playing one CF rather than three TBF.

  25. SENTI CAZORLA
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    hoping for a 1-1 with Fabregas and Mangala goals no assists...and a Dzeko red card perhaps

  26. ktk_interista
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    A GW to test patience and resolve. There will be much kneejerking after this.

    Ulloah has played Everton, Chelsea, Arsenal and Man Utd in his first five and has five goals...

    Essential

  29. Logic
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    What do u think of this attack. Pelle(C) Costa Welbeck

  30. Podge
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Costa is now irrelevant to fantasy football 🙁

    1. Woy of the Wovers
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I think everyone should sell him and buy Ulloa.

      1. Podge
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        I might get him for Aguero funnily, that injury worry rattled me

      2. Who Ate All Depays?
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Ulloa indeed looks quite impressive
