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.

    Im pissed, this referee man... stonewall penalty! Costa took the man clearly! and yes I captained Aguero. Also how Fabregas didn't get yellow card? (I played him) Ref had a shocker.

    Krul* Elliot
    Clyne Wilson* Bardsley* Chambers* Wisdom
    Ramsey* Mata* Sterling Sigurddson Marney*
    Rooney* Costa Adebayor*

    Worth a WC to this? 9 changes I want to make

    Mannone 4.0
    Clyne Bertrand Duff Moore Wisdom
    Hazard Di Maria Sterling Sigurdsson Boyd
    Aguero Costa Pelle

    Horror gameweek, losing ground fast in ML. Too knee jerk? Worth the WC? Or just take a -8 on the chin?

    1. pedrofroes79
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Fab instead of Haz or leave Ramsey, he will come clean!
      I would also leave Chambers instead of Moore!
      Otherwise it's great

  14. dropkicks

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

    Naismith is going to troll those who trade to Pelle/Ulloa by getting a brace next week if I've learned anything this season.

    1. Bolivian Seaman
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

    Lampard just has no class. Chelsea won 3 league titles and a Champions League for him and this is how he repays them??

    Rooney (C) to go with a measly 57 points when I was considering Baines (C) is a sickener, don't think I can carry on. 🙁

    1. Barry Woj
      • 11 Years

    Milner and Mangala were awesome today.

    That look on Mourinho's face when Lampard scored. 😆

  25. SENTI CAZORLA

    What a shit gw. Anyways Ramsey to AdM(-4) worth it?

    1. Daniel Exeter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      In my view yes - and gives scope to get rid of Wazza if you have him?

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

        yup have him giving him one more week then ship for Falcao/Welbeck

        1. Daniel Exeter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          I wouldn't wait a week, I'm looking to do Rooney > Kun this week
          Why wait?

          2nd week for me Rooney hasn't really been making fires. I know he got a goal and such last week but even that wasn't a great performance

    2. Twelve years a slave
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Thinking henderson and naismith to boyd and pelle for -4?

  27. Daniel Exeter

    9 years, 9 months ago

    Been out all day so probably missed the boat on this one, and haven't had a chance to catch up on posts

    So I think from today ADM is the only Utd essential until the defence is addressed. Rooney moving to number 10 despite another no show from RVP (goal I know)

    So Rooney mass exodus tonight? To Aguero I think

  28. The Dinkum Donuts
