Just three days removed from their forgettable FA Cup Final meeting, Liverpool and Chelsea meet once more. This time around the setting is Anfield and, if truth be told, the stake is pride more than the three Premier League points on offer. The Dugout Discussion opens for the occasion, and the team news is in…

Liverpool XI: Reina, Johnson, Carragher, Skrtel, Agger, Downing, Henderson, Shelvey, Maxi, Suarez, Carroll.

Chelsea XI: Turnbull, Ferreira, Ivanovic, Terry, Bertrand, Essien, Romeu, Ramires, Sturridge, Malouda, Torres.

Hoping to avoid the worst tally in over 60 years for home points in a season, Kenny Dalglish plays Andy Carroll (at the expense of Craig Bellamy) alongside Luis Suarez following the impact he made on Saturday. There’s three other changes that see Jamie Carragher, Maxi Rodriguez and Jonjo Shelvey replace Jose Enrique, Steven Gerrard and Jay Spearing.

With a season-defining game awaiting in Munich later this month, a much-changed Chelsea line-up take to the field. There’s only three survivors from the weekend, with Champions League Final suspendees John Terry, Ramires and Branislav Ivanovic all keeping their place.

The Dugout Discussion chatroom is open and can be accessed right here.

          Na going to be boring and just sell Jelly for Aguero. Got a 15 point lead over one of my serious casual rivals. Its been a poor season and I'd hate to lose to this guy.

            I did consider Torres actually but that liverpool game has put me right off him. I honestly think Lukaku has a good chance of starting the next game.

            it's a good question.

            rotation, motivation, card-free CL candidates and RDM's focus on the CL priorities make it a minefield.

    12 green arrows in a row (I realise I was starting from a low base btw) makes me desperate for number 13 to finish off the season on a high. How best should I achieve this? I really need Aguero, I guess. I have only 3 fit defenders (Simpson + Evans injured), but will just play them and hope.

    Currently:
    Vorm Krul
    Turner Verm Komp
    Dempsey Siggy Bale VDV Valencia
    RVP Rooney Jelly

    I'm thinking either:
    a) Rooney -> Aguero (C), bench Dempsey, or
    b) Jelly -> Aguero (C) + Dempsey -> Maloney, bench Siggy/Valencia

    Thoughts from the DeadZone? Any other options? Help me to number 13 please!

        Sorry. I could sell either Bale or Pienaar for Moses for a hit which makes c)

        Have to work out if Moses is better than Pienaar/Bale + 4.
        Pretty sure ML rival will get Moses for a hit. I lead the ML by 4. b) = likely ML differentials.

                  RDM stated in his interview that Chelsea needed a good game against Blackburn to keep confidence high. Having players not playing for 2 weeks is a negative thing as it reduces their sharpness and interupts any good runs their having. He was also asked about Bayern playing their full strenght side in their last game and if he would so the same, he did not physically acknowedge that he would but it seemed likely from his reaction. Just my thoughts though.

            I am winning my money league by 20 points with lots of $$$ up for grabs. Trying to copy my rival and I did quite well with it this week, with us getting the exact score (56). This week he has made two transfers and had 0.1 in the bank before his trannies and he now has 0.8.
            His team: http://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/182670/event-history/37/

            Sess, Moses, Demps, M Davies Gerrard
            RVP, Jelly, Defoe
            If I were him I'd be taking out Gerrard and Defoe but I am truly stumped on what he has done. Any guesses?

                If he did Gerrard and Defoe ➡ Aguero and a mid, it would have have to have been a mid for 5.7 which is only Anderson Barton Vukcevic Kranjcar Jarvis. Don't think he would've gone for one of them.

              Either way, without being nasty, I hope you guess wrong and his differential overtakes you. Copying teams to force a stalemate is such a lame tactic and not worthy of winning a ML IMO.

                  Id do what I always do and make my transfers based on what I think makes my team stronger and how I can get the biggest score. Not shadowing a team to make mine the same. Take this week for example, after making my transfers this week my whole starting 11 will be different to my rivals starting 11.

                  Indeed. One of the low points of the season 🙁

                  You playing the Euro game Christina?

                    Yeah, for sure. I won my Euro2008 ML so I have fond memories. Will be nice to have a break from Fpl.

                    I've been tinkering a bit, but with the setup it's vital to be off to a good start(Thanks Mr Podolski for 2008!) since all the manager subs,WC and free trades a lead will be very difficult to make up.

                    You in?

                      Yep, i'm in too. Played the world cup one and Euro 2008, so i'm used to the way it works. It's similar to the UCL game too. I saved my wildcard till the final, to get 11 players without hits, but it doesn't seem to have done much good as like you say the leads can grow quickly in the early stages. I've been tinkering too and originally planned to save my WC to use after the semis but it doesnt make much sense. I'll use it for Matchday 2 or 3.

                        Yeah same here. Gw 2/3 for me as well. No use saving WC since it's only -2 for a hit and the allowed free trades I think is enough in the latter stages.

                        The thing is I know very little about most of the teams!

                Thanks for the kind words lads.

                Spent the last weeks gambling on a couple of players.
                Tevez over RVP
                hit for Gallas v Villa
                etc

                I was on the brink of entering top 10k after an experimental (hits) season, but the house of cards really collapsed this GW.

                Back on 17k now, hoping to climb into 15k for an ok finish.
