Sunday Dugout Discussion

A bumper Sunday of seven Premier League matches gets under way at the Britannia as Gareth Bale looks to keep Fantasy managers in cheer and Tottentham’s top four ambitions on target.

There are five three o’clock kick offs to follow that, with United’s emotional farewell to Sir Alex Ferguson capping things off an hour later. Nobody really knows what to expect from that one, with plenty banking on returns from Robin Van Persie, with the Dutchman again established as an armband favourite.

Our Dugout Discussion is now open to provide real-time chat support throughout all of today’s matches.

The team news from today’s early kick-off find Stoke making just one change, with Matt Etherington fit enough to replace Cameron Jerome as Stoke look to be shifting to a 4-5-1. As for Spurs, Andre Villas-Boas makes two changes as Steven Caulker comes in for Benoit Assou-Ekotto and Clint Dempsey replaces Lewis Holtby in midfield.

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

          Is there a rule for this or has it been a common practice of minimum 10 games played?

        So do people think Mata will play next week? If that is the case, who do people think is the best defender to get in for the last gameweek. may go Glen Johnson

          Really would not advise getting defenders on the last week. But GJ, Verthongen, Luiz are probably the best ones.

            I've got Bale Walcott Michu Sturridge Mata. Got my big guns in place. Don't need anyone else. Need an attacking defender instead of baines. Got Vertonghen. Yeah Luiz isn't a bad shout.

              yeah your team looks quite good. Maybe look at a city defender if there is a clear indication who will play. Zaba should be nailed on

                Yeah I was thinking it had to be either City, Liverpool or Tottenham really. However if mata is unlikely to play Baines will have to stay and I'll have to get a midfielder in. Tempted by Dempsey

                  I would personally prefer a cheeky punt on Silva or Nolan. But Dempsey could be nice too.

        If it's any consolation, my second (illegal team) scored 51(-4) with Sturridge (C).

        That team will end the season higher than my proper one.

        Is the jury not out on RVP assists. I know it's last touch but in both cases RVP has not deliberately set up the goal. Ashley Williams hands the first one to Hernandez and Ferdinand was not the intended target of the second one. Two crucial last interventions by others.

        (I don't own RVP)

        Bale - Mata - Walcott - Coutinho
        RVP - Sturridge - Tevez

        Considering selling Mata > Cazorla, but any other smart transfers? Cannot pick one out at the moment.
