Dugout Discussion – Swansea vs Newcastle

After Burnley’s Chris Wood condemned Crystal Palace to a fourth successive loss, we turn to the Liberty Stadium in Sunday’s second, and final, fixture at 4pm.

Having grabbed their first win of the season in the previous round of fixtures, Swansea now have the chance to play their way into our plans ahead of an outstanding upcoming home schedule.

From Gameweek 6 onwards, Paul Clement’s side entertain Watford, Huddersfield, Leicester, Brighton, Bournemouth and West Brom in their subsequent six matches at the Liberty.

With that in mind, Tammy Abraham- at just 5.5 – has the chance to emerge as a valid option for our three-man frontlines.

After opening his account for the season at Selhurst Park, the on-loan striker grabbed a goal and assist for England U21s over the recent international break. He’s partnered by Jordan Ayew, with Wilfried Bony on the hosts’ bench.

The Swans’ new arrival Renato Sanches is fast-tracked into the starting XI after joining on loan from Bayern Munich on transfer deadline day. Over 116,000 Fantasy Premier League managers acquired the Portuguese international ahead of Gameweek 4.

Similar to their hosts, Newcastle are also braced for a strong run of matches in front of their own fans – five of their next six home matches sees Stoke, Palace, Bournemouth, Watford and Leicester visit St James’ Park.

New boy Joselu leads the line again after scoring on his first start in the 3-0 win over West Ham last time around.

At 5.5, he could rival Abraham in the budget bracket up front, though Christian Atsu’s prospects in midfield are dealt a blow as he drops to the visitors’ bench.

      Overtime? This is an English match

      1. CloudSky
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        No overtime if its 0:0 after 90? Straight to pens then?

        1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          Nope. No such thing as overtime in an English game. It's an American thing

          It's a league game, mate. You split a point each in case of a draw at FT.

            Thats interesting to know.

          Staright to pens wtf?

          1. CloudSky
            • 7 Years

            Pens = penalties.

              lol i know what pens are, but there is no physical way this game could go to pens it would end a draw if noone scored. Only way a game would go to pens is afetr extra time and if the result was a decider

    4. Rinseboy

      extra time, no but 'overtime' I'm pretty sure he does
