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.

    Do we really have to wait for Dzeko for another midfielder to be subbed for Man City to play good?

    Pellegrini better off sticking with Kun up front on his own every game.

      Needs Dzeko in there to handle the big guys in the WH defence. Spurs don't play that way.

      Shocking how low the total ownership of city players.

      Kun 25%
      Kompany 15 %
      Silva 10 %

      That's about it

    the big clubs have been fairly dysmal with defending this season. Arsenal and Everton much worse than last season, City still shaky, Chelsea not keeping cleanies, Liverpool still laughable, United an injury ridden shambles.

    Envious of those who got Clyne AND Bertrand early
