The Dugout Discussion – West Ham vs Man City

We have to face it – after the momentous points bonanza of Gameweek 8, this weekend may well be a bit of a comedown.

Six Saturday fixtures will have the task of setting us up for another round of three-figure hauls and, ironically, it all begins with last weekend’s leading man on show as Man City crash Upton Park to take on West Ham.

Sergio Aguero and City will surely face an uncomfortable ride in East London, with the resurgent Hammers giddy at the prospect of facing the champions whilst sitting in fourth place in the table. Fantasy managers will, nonetheless, be anticipating and expecting the Aguero show to rumble on through the home defence: the Argentine sports the armband for many and we’ll look for at least one goal from him amongst the huff and puff of today’s early kick-off.

Following that, we’ve just a quartet of three o’clock kick-offs, before Swansea host Leicester in a gentle-looking evening clash to see us out.

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

    Steve Mc on BT sport had it spot on there. Look at the minutes and rotation between Clichy, Kolarov, Sagna, Mangala, Demichelis and Zabaleta. Especially the full backs playing 90 then 0, 90 then 0 constantly. Not doing their back line any good.

      It never does. Rotation is a stupid idea that never works...it sounds good but find me any evidence that it actually does work..The old fashioned idea of a first Xl with the odd rest when needed trumps all of it.

    It isn;t just that City are playing poorly.

          First attempt at being funny was a fail, this one even more so. You should stop now.

            Don't worry. I knee jerked for him too. 🙂

      Don't really think it's knee jerk for people to have brought Aguero in. He's the best striker in the league.

      It wasn't a knee jerk of you had him for his 38 pt haul.

        I did. Still don't think it is that much of a knee jerk. People chase last weeks points all the time. Brining in a quality player is less of a knee jerk though.

        ah well

        I think it was to do with him still being a differnential and I said i expected his ownership to double

            maybe.

            Either way, it has doubled
