While the footballing community rightly reels from the frankly unfathomable and tragic news of Gary Speed’s passing, the Dugout Discussion opens in more solemn tones in shock at this news…

Our first of two fixtures today is in Wales where, rather perversely now, Speed had been seeming to build a bright future for football in his home country. Whether many of the Welsh players (on both sides) are in the right mind is hard to tell but the fixture of Swansea vs Aston Villa will go ahead as planned. Teams in full are…

Swansea XI: Vorm; Rangel, Monk, Williams, Taylor; Britton, Allen, Gower, Dyer, Sinclair; Graham

Villa XI: Given; Hutton, Collins, Dunne, Warnock; Herd, Delph; N’Zogbia, Heskey, Agbonlahor; Bent.

The Premier League weekend will then finish with the big fixture of the weekend as Kenny Dalglish’s Moneyball squad come up against the Nouveau riches of Manchester City.

RIP Gary Speed.

      not worth the hit, VDV will play next game, steal all bale's points, and suarez plays fulham, if need to tho, get rid of suarez for dezeko, strong chance of him playin next week. see what u mean tho, im bringing in chico i recko, tough having to downgrade a big player, vdv will play next week tho.

        I understand the madness of changing VDV but regardless of what everyone says, Bale has actually scored more points than VDV this season and did it without penalties.

        I think Bale and Ade is probably greater than VDV as Spurs coverage.

      Depends what you think about the chances of Aguero starting, that and I'm not a massive fan of Brunt. Is it possibly to downgrade to Adebayor and upgrade to Mata?

      Defence looks decent though, not a massive fan of BAE, but the rest of your defence is budget so maybe wise to keep him in..

          Fair enough, it's by no means a bad side. Weakest players I'd say were Moses, Brunt and Bendy. But they're all capable of good scores, being on set-pieces or just unlucky.

      solid option with a lot going for him. you'll likely need a penalty or two to fully justify his price but teams do get penalties. 2 pensfor a defender = 3 clean sheets, possibly 4 with bps. i'm always terrified as a non-owner that he'll get a pen

    RIP Gary Speed. I just wanted to mention something. I hope I don't sound too pedantic or politically correct.
    A lot of people on here earlier used the phrase "committed suicide" when in fact one should use the phrase "died by suicide".
    It shows respect and sensitivity not to use the word "committed" which can almost suggest "a crime" has occurred.

    I know everyone on here meant well but it might be something to bear in mind.
