The Dugout Discussion – Sunday

After yesterday’s disappointing start, many Fantasy managers will be looking for some of Sunday’s heavy hitters to come to the rescue.

A couple of 1.30pm kick-offs get us underway. Community Shield winners Arsenal welcome West Ham to the Emirates before Steven McClaren takes charge of Newcastle for the first time in the top-flight as in-form Southampton roll up to St James’ Park.

Stoke play host to big-spending Liverpool in the late kick-off, with Brendan Rodgers’ side looking to immediately avenge their 6-1 mauling at the Britannia in the final league fixture of 2014/15.

    Best West Ham defence? I got Tabanou (5.0) and he's not in the first squad. WH defence looks good.

    Cresswell is out of question - he's at 5.5 and i'm short 0.5

    Reece Oxford - played as a midfield today but his position in FPL is defender. At the price of 4.0, it looks like a good option if he's in the first 11. but there's doubt whether he will at this young age.

    Winston Reid (5.0) - not much of a threat in goal score and assist
    Ogbonna (5.0) - he looks like the main defender for the hammers this season. No risk in rotation.
    Tomkins (5.0) - I like him. Always get himself a chance in scoring goals from set pieces. But he gets injured easily.
    Jenkinson (5.0) - as right-back he offers a threat in attacking. not as much as cresswell but he's cheaper.

    I set my eyes on Ogbonna and Jenkinson but Oxford looks tempting. Need help guys!

            Yes that's what i'm afraid. might save the transfer and see it again the week after. I slightly prefer him over Ogbonna.

      Picked up a yellow and nearly got another. Was the right move from Koeman. Its a good thing. Means he is reminded to keep his cool and will still start next game due to the assist and good wing play.
