It’s gorgeous out, but fantasy football fiends up and down the country are retreating indoors to see West Brom take on Newcastle. The Dugout Discussion reluctantly opens it’s doors on this fine Sunday afternoon.

The team news from our only game today is in. Here is how both sides line-up…

West Brom XI: Foster; Jones, McAuley, Olsson, Ridgewell; Odemwingie, Mulumbu, Morrison, Andrews, Thomas; Fortune.

Newcastle XI:Krul; Simpson, Coloccini, Williamson, Perch; Ben Arfa, Guthrie, Cabaye, Gutierrez; Ba, Cisse.

Four changes to Roy Hodgson’s side sees Peter Odemwingie return to the fold, at the expense of Chris Brunt (who has suffered from tonsillitis this week). Also coming in is Jonas Olsson, Keith Andrews and Marc-Antoine Fortune replacing Nicky Shorey, Paul Scharner and Shane Long.

As for the visitors, Alan Pardew names an unchanged line-up from the side that beat Norwich last time out.

The Dugout Discussion will be open for the duration of the game, and can be accessed right here.

    Afternoon All,

    Hows this look for a 4 point hit next week just need to choose third striker to go with RVP and Rooney for 8.9 million any ideas?

    Skrtel to Cahill
    McClean to Walcott
    Suarez to Budget 8.9 million?

      did similar, with skrtel to gibbs, and mcclean to walcott.

      i would say it is good transfer.
      not sure i would sell suarez though...
      maybe for P.Cisse?

    Verm seems almost essential. If you give him a pretty conservative 2ppg for those he missed, he'd be level with BAE/Baines.

    Throw in a goal or two, some clean sheets and BPs and he'd be miles ahead, possibly not far off the top mids.

      It's hard to know what to do with him, he's both a rotation risk and one of those players that either seems to have a blinder or is utterly useless.

    My team for next week rocks. Nine at home, plus RVP (qpr) and Huth (wig). Bale or Dempsey (c).

    And Siggy on the bench (I'm a slow lesson-learner).

    Just a shame that this week's fiasco has knocked me out of the Cup at the first hurdle.
