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.

    Lampard walking off in tears as both sets of fans cheer him on. Never seen anything like that before.

    1. Alan The Llama
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      He just heard there's no pies left.

    2. OPTA FPL
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

    3. Wilshere Knowledge

      Ronaldinho scored a goal against Real Madrid once, and the Real Madrid fans applauded it. That was cool.

  5. Crouching Tiger

    Did a last minute armband change from Costa(C) to Di Maria(C). Very happy with that decision.

    di maria aside today was a glorious reversal in fortunes of the man utd and chelsea players. still not worth the heartattack when costa hit the post from the fabregas pass though

    1. Elniñorules
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Yep I'm getting Costa and Cesc right away.

    3. applebonkers
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years

  13. Weekend Seekers
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Wild card time. !!!!

    1. Weekend Seekers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Not sure whether it is worth keeping Chelsea defence

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

      Wouldn't want Azpi, still think Chelsea will concede a fair few, wouldn't want Jelavic

      1. Weekend Seekers
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

      • 11 Years

  17. Lingardium Leviosa.
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    guys when will ADM price rise?

  18. mgilbert86
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    So ADM gets me 11 but hazard got 7 so the -4 makes it break even. Of course that would happen

  24. Give The Todd Some Love
    • 12 Years

    1. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      That's a season long sort of deal though. Plus it depends on how you spend the extra money...

    Lampard you traitor. You disloyal, money-grabbing mercenary. How could you??? Everything you've ever done for Chelsea don't mean nothing to me no more. You don't deserve no statue. I hope you flop miserably at City.

    Yours truly,

    A lifelong Chelsea fan
