Sunday Dugout Discussion

Yesterday’s slim fantasy pickings has undoubtedly heaped the pressure on today’s four Premier League games to deliver. The Dugout Discussion chatroom will take you through them all, starting at White Hart Lane with Tottenham Hotspur versus Liverpool and culminating in Chelsea’s visit to champions Manchester United.

In and amongst those back-to-back games, two of our Europa League representatives, Stoke City and Fulham, take on Sunderland at the Stadium of Light and Manchester City at Craven Cottage respectively.

The “Super Sunday” opener kicks-off shortly, and here are the all-important team sheets…

Tottenham XI: Friedel, Walker, Kaboul, King, Assou-Ekotto, Kranjcar, Parker, Modric, Bale, Adebayor, Defoe.

Liverpool XI: Reina, Skrtel, Carragher, Agger, Jose Enrique, Henderson, Lucas, Adam, Downing, Suarez, Carroll.

Catching the eye are the big strike-partnerships both sides have named. Jermain Defoe and Emmanuel Adebayor continue upfront for Spurs, whilst Liverpool’s Luis Suarez and Andy Carroll start together for only the second time in the league this season.

Another headline is the return (to the substitutes bench at least) of Rafael van der Vaart, and it’s worth remembering he is not in Spurs’ Europa League squad.

Feast or famine, the Dugout Discussion chatroom will be here for you all day.

    Wildcard went pretty well in the end.

    Can see Adebayor being a huge FPL player this season....

      Yeah, certainly Brunt for now till our (WBA) team settles down and there are better scoring players for 6m. I'm a baggies fan and god knows what Woy is doing with our midfield atm. I'd love to see Dorrans get a run of games, has huge potential; goals, set pieces, pens and BPP's.
      I'm looking at getting Mata in ASAP too. Interesting time at the moment

    2 free transfers this week. Have Rooney, Nasri n Mata. So which is the best option?
    1) RVP, Jarvis, Ward >> Dzeko, Arteta, Jones
    2) RVP, Enrique >> Aguero, Jones
    3) RVP, Suarez >> Aguero, Torres
    4) RVP, Jarvis, Enrique >> Aguero, Arteta, Simpson
    5) RVP, Suarez, Jarvis >> Aguero, Adebayor, Arteta

    Currently leaning towards 5) despite the 4 pt hit.
    What d'ya reckon?

    0.4 in the bank

    Chelsea's defense was awful today, but I can't just completely give up their coverage
    I'm disappointed in City's defense as well so I dropped Kompany for now

    Jones, we'll keep just as many clean sheets as city this year. We also have a better keeper and also jones will be sure to get some attacking points. His place isnt secure though, he could lose it to ferdinand or rafael when they are back. Personally I think he will keep his place though.
