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.

      I think you'll find it's more about soldiering.

    Milner has been man of the match IMO.

    Mourhino's failure to be able to adapt tactically during a game has come back to haunt him again. The game was there for them to push on and get a second...............

    Anyone worse than 49

    1. The Finnisher

    Ivanovic nowhere to be seen on the goal by the way.

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      He will score against Villa

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

      always going to be the way in a match like this, defending is the priority

  14. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    To the lad saying Schurle is better than Willian I hope you saw that repetition. He is worse in defense obviously. Will start against weak teams but not that good to play 90mins in this kind of games
