Monday Dugout Discussion

The Gameweek concludes at Villa Park with the home side scrambling for points to maintain their Premier League status, whilst visitors City are equally desperate to revive the pulse of an ailing title race.

The likes of Pablo Zabaleta, David Silva and Christian Benteke are on show under the lights, with a nasty surprise amongst the team news for Sergio Aguero owners. Despite that, Fantasy managers look to fitting end to a Gameweek that has delivered some big scores thus far. Our Monday night Dugout Discussion chatroom is open to visitors wishing to vent in real-time while the minutes in the Midlands tick by.

The headline team news is that Aguero misses out having sustained a knee injury in training over the weekend: Carlos Tevez is drafted in to replace his compatriot in the 4-5-1. Vincent Kompany misses out again, while Gareth Barry is fit to return to the City bench. As for Villa, they are able to name an unchanged lineup from the side that lost out at the Emirates.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      If you are going to berate the Manchester City manager for not bringing a player off the bench, make sure that he is not already on the pitch.

      Otherwise, the above will happen.

    Zab goal would be nice to make up for my rival's lack of OG for Bale...

    It's probably been said loads, but do we know why that did not go down as an OG?

    Also, have said for ages I will NOT get Bale, still not planning to, is this suicide? Could just get him in for Mata this week.

      Been considering it. Think it is risky, because of his game time. Will prob just do Sissoko instead.

      I think that of the midfielders in the sub 7 million bracket (With fixtures this week), he's the best other than Sissoko. The rotation factor is the downside, but he has the potential to be very very good.

        I've just made the Fellaini to Coutinho transfer. I'm not keen on Sissoko's fixtures, and Liverpool are on a good run. Coutinho looked lively and think he'll want to play well if he's given a chance against Tottenham.

    If you are getting Suarez or Bale as your Captain due to Aguero's injury, don't show off about it.

    Making a poor choice and lucking out is nothing to be proud of.

        If you are going to make an account just to rival someone, make sure that you are an adequate rival.

        Otherwise you will fade into insignificance, slowly, before being forced to change your name.

      When giving out advice, be sure to label decisions appropriately. Picking Aguero for captaincy was not a bad choice when all information pointed to him being fit.

        Try not to pour cold water on my advice with an irrelevant statement.

        All information pointed towards Joe Bennett being fit for the match tonight, but it did not make him a good captain choice.
