Dugout Discussion – Sunderland vs Middlesbrough

Gameweek 2 rolls into Sunday with a lunchtime Wear-Tees derby clash.

Sunderland play host to a Middlesbrough side that earned a draw in their opening home encounter with Stoke City on day one. David Moyes’ side also emerged with some credit from their first fixture, losing out to Man City by a narrow 2-1 margin having equalised via a Jermain Defoe goal.

Defoe will once again carry the goal scoring burden for the Black Cats today, who are without Fabio Borini due to a toe injury. Moyes gives home debuts to Donald Love, Paddy McNair and Adnan Januzaj, while Papy Djilobodji earns his full debut at the back.

Aitor Karanka begins to rotate his Boro troops by bringing in Cristhian Stuani for Albert Adomah. Victor Valdes misses out with a training ground knock, opening the way for Brad Guzan to earn his debut in goal.

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

        I didn't know much about De Roon btw, but his stats in Serie A are insane. Could be a steal at 12m.

    Wrong Boro Uruguayan, wrong WBA defender, Martial was a captaincy disaster, wrong bandwagon in Coutinho (should have gone Negredo) and the Valdes not playing (although Jaku will come on). Couldn't have been much worse FPL wise although I have enjoyed the football.

        I'l assume anybody using their WC at any time will be doing it to ensure they get similar pts to bringing in Ibra and Negredo...or whoever it is at the particular time you play it.

        I hope you have as much success with your WC as he's having with his...I wouldn't hold your breath though...
