The Dugout Discussion – Sunday

The Gameweek rolls on with one of those “titanic clashes” between the Manchester rivals.

A potential feast for the neutral, City host United in an encounter that boasts a rich supply of attacking talent and a pair of suspect defences: there will surely be goals on offer. Fantasy managers will certainly be hoping that’s the case, with Sergio Aguero and Angel di Maria found in 25% and 38% of Fantasy Premier League squads respectively.

The team news from the Etihad finds Wayne Rooney making a return to the United lineup following suspension, with Juan Mata dropping to the bench as expected. Antonio Valencia earns a start, presumably at right-back, with Rafael missing out through injury sustained in training on Thursday. City are also forced into changes as David Silva sits out with a knee injury, while Edin Dzeko drops to the bench. Eliaquim Mangala is out of the City squad with reports suggesting that he’s nursing a hip problem – James Milner, Martin Demichelis and Stevan Jovetic all earn starts for Manuel Pellegrini. The Chilean has also been forced into a late change, with Aleks Kolarov injuring himself in the warm-up to be replaced by Gael Clichy.

The big derby clash is followed at 4pm by Tottenham’s trip to Aston Villa – a suitably stodgy dessert to follow today’s big roast.

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

    Want to ship Sterling but no idea who for. Will wait to see how Chadli plays also. Midfield needs a complete overhaul but Pelle has Leicester next week so want to keep. Beyond that I can switch Pelle out for Sakho in order to upgrade midfield. 0.2 ITB. 1 FT.

    De Gea, Gilks
    Baines, Bertrand, Chambers, Hutton, Wisdom
    Fabregas, Sterling, Sigurdsson, Chadli, Marney
    Costa, Aguero, Pelle

      Trouble is if I keep Sterling for next week I lose value and also he then has four plum fixtures so I won't want to get rid at all. Might continue to monitor and upgrade Fabregas instead. Ludicrous?

      I think Valencia is a better player but Sakho gets in all the right positions when required.

    4 - Manchester City are only the second team in PL history (after Liverpool) to win four consecutive games against Manchester United. Noisy.

    Adm kept giving the ball away but could easily have scored or assisted. Add the usual luck factor against crap teams and he could be good captain choice next week

    I have Sanchez and Fàbregas that I have to keep, Bentaleb in bench (he doesn´t play that much but I don´t want to change now and have hits).

    I have Sterling and Siggy too
