Dugout Discussion

Saturday Dugout Discussion – Gameweek 5

We start Gameweek 5 at the Liberty Stadium, as Michael Laudrup’s Swansea host Everton. The Dugout Discussion is open, so come in and follow all the day’s action amongst fellow fantasy football managers. The team news is in and there’s one or two surprises…

Swansea XI: Vorm, Rangel, Tate, Williams, Davies, Ki, de Guzman, Michu, Hernandez, Routledge, Graham.

Everton XI: Howard, Neville, Heitinga, Jagielka, Baines, Osman, Pienaar, Coleman, Fellaini, Mirallas, Anichebe.

Following their defeat at Aston Villa last time out, Nathan Dyer and Leon Britton drop to the bench with Ki Sung Yueng and Pablo Hernandez coming in.

Having scored on Monday night against Newcastle, Victor Anichebe earns a starting berth, replacing the injured Nikica Jelavic.

There’s another five Premier League fixtures to enjoy after Swansea and Everton do battle – so plenty of fantasy points on offer all round. The Dugout Discussion chatroom is the place to see them roll in, which can be accessed right here.

    Easy job for the cameraman this afternoon. It's been pointed at the Swansea goalmouth for the past 15 minutes.

    Swansea are struggling. Glad I benched Graham. He will hardly get a sniff today.

    Stupid question but....
    If a game is 0-0 and in the 61st minute a keeper concedes a penalty and get's sent off. He get's the clean sheet points as he wasn't playing when the penalty goes in right? Seems a bit unfair haha

      If a player is sent off, clean sheet points are awarded as if they played the entire match

      I think

      Nope, if you get sent off you're still liable for goals conceded - it's only if you're subbed off that goals conceded after you're off don't count.

      no he doesn't. If you get sent off you lose points for goals conceded. Only if you get subbed you keep it.

      Red Cards
      If a player receives a red card, they will continue to be penalised for goals conceded by their team.

      Plus the -3 for a red card, not a great tactic for your keepers...
