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.

    Who to captain next week?

    Sakho or Payet could be great picks.

    Right, post WC team for next week...forgetting this week ever happened.

    Romero (McCarthy)

    Oxford-Gomez-Shaw (Huth, Targett)

    Sanchez(VC)-Hazard-Sterling-Payet-Mahrez

    Rooney(C)-Sakho

    2.5 in the bank for Rooney to Aguero.

    Let's do this. Thoughts?

      looking good

      was underwhelmed by Roooney. would just go straight to Aguero.

      shaw was a little underwhelming for me. darmian was more of a threat if you're into man utd defence. also, i'd go morgan over huth.

      Far too much knee jerk. You'll be in trouble if/when United sign another keeper, Hennessey starts over Mccarthy, another 5.5-6m mid emerges, Oxford & Gomez turn out not to be starters. And Targett we know isn't keeping his place.

      Don't think you need Sterling if you're getting Aguero. A downgrade to Mane, who was excellent today, could let you upgrade elsewhere.

    first go at a wildcard team,

    Mignolet (McCarthy)
    Oxford, Cedric, Gomez (Targett, Delaney)
    Sterling, Hazard, Sanchez, Mahrez (Westwood)
    Aguero, Pelle, Sakho

    Defence is puss...If Man City are underwhelming can downgrade Sterling to a someone like Depay or Payet and then upgrade Oxford and Targett...

        agree it's not flash.

        probably worth dropping sterling for a 7.0 or 7.5 and upgrading oxford and targett.

          That really doesn't help - we have as much info as you: he has started ahead of Moreno in 100% of the matches so far. Beyond that, unless the Liverpool manager happens to be checking FFS at the moment, we know very little.
