The Dugout Discussion – Sunday

The Gameweek rolls on with the final pair of Premier League encounters – both presenting fascinating scenarios, fully stocked with Fantasy talent.

The day begins as St Mary’s where Ronald Koeman’s Southampton face their first grilling as applicants for the role of a top four side. It begins with the harshest of tests against champions Manchester City, presenting a lip-smacking battle between the league’s most potent striker and its most robust rearguard.

Sergio Aguero will be the latest of the Gameweek captaincy candidates to test his mettle, against a Saints back four that has conceded just once all season on home turf. That’s just one of the key battles on show, as City desperately look to seize the opportunity to close the gap on leaders Chelsea following the Blues’ stalemate with Sunderland.

Later today, our focus switches to north London where Everton pay visit to White Hart Lane in a match that pairs two sides with top six ambitions. A host of mid-price prospects are on show, with Fantasy managers holding out for an appearance from Leighton Baines and further encouraging displays from the likes of Christian Eriksen, Harry Kane, Romelu Lukaku and Kevin Mirallas.

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

    We need Spurs cover obviously. They are getting in to shape and have wonderful fixtures after Chelsea.

    Halftime talk lads.

    Is Kane viable option now? What suddenly happened to Ade? Is he fit? Or he is down in pecking order? Will Ade go to ACON?

      Kane will start until at least Jan. Ade is being Ade and will be a bit part player until the ACON. We will try and sell him in Jan (although we probably won't find a club to pay his wages) and we'll also try and find a new striker (hopefully) but Kane should be set firm until the Jan WC comes around.

      Currently only have Chadli, and almost made a huge mistake going for Lloris over Krul a few GW ago.
      Would like to own Eriksen, just not sure where the money is going to be coming from.

      Think the big decision is: Aguero + Costa; or Aguero + mid/cheapie + cheapie with a more expensive mid

    Can't remember the last time I was this happy for an individual player to get a goal. Soldado works really hard for the team and gets no credit. Hopefully he can kick on now and get into a little run. I've always said that I fancy him to get a few once he gets going... just a shame it's taken him this long to get going 😀

          Any striker in the league would have done the exact same thing. He had nowhere else to go, really. Only other option was running directly into the path of the runner with the ball and block his own teammates lane?

          Watching a different game, then. Think his first touch is in general terrible and his hold up play is always a cut beneath as he doesn't seem to be able to pass into space to his on running teammates. He always seems to pass behind his teammate and slow up the counter or build up.
