Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Saturday

18 January 2014 4626 comments

Mark

Following a dramatic Stadium of Light clash, we can now look forward to five three o’clock kick-offs keep Saturday’s action moving, before Liverpool host Villa in the evening encounter.

Fantasy managers will be fixated on events at the Emirates and the Etihad as Arsenal and City face up to favourable opponents on home turf. The likes of David Silva, Yaya Toure and Alvaro Negredo will be well backed ahead of their meeting with Cardiff, while Mesut Ozil and Olivier Giroud will be amongst the names being watched keenly when Fulham draw up in North London.

Elsehwhere, many Fantasy managers will be hoping for Palace to reconstruct fortress Selhurst Park and earn a clean sheet against visiting Stoke. Meanwhile, Norwich host Hull City and West Ham look to continue their revival against Newcastle at the Boleyn Ground.

You can look to our Twitter feed for the teamsheet news, whilst the Dugout Discussion chatroom will remain available right up until the final whistle at Anfield this evening.

Selling Ozil and Kos as part of a change to get Aguero in. I still have Mert for Arsenal defence and plan Eriksen--->Ramsey in due course.

Yaya Toure or Cabaye?

Can't believe my rival. Sold Yaya & Cabaye on his WC. Looks like he initially had Cazorla in his first draft but then swapped for Ozil just before the deadline. Ouch

Probably not the first to make this observation, but it's wierd to be watching this match with my (c) in action but not caring what he does, and instead just interested in whether Sturridge scores!

Glad i raged Ozil out last week after his awful performance on Monday night, and it doesn't sound like he played any better today... Is he carrying a knock or homesick or something similar ?..He's gone from a World class player to a bad player without even stopping on the way down..What's his problem ?

Those still holding on to their WildCards,

Using it now, to prepare for GW23 and make the most of price rises in the next 10 days?

or

Planning to activate it after GW23, in the last couple of days of January to prepare better for possible transfers/DGWs?

To anyone thinking to ship Lukaku out this week:

Take a look at this Liverpool defence and Lukaku's stats against Liverpool.

4 goals in 3 games, of which 2 sub appearances last season (20min each) and a brace this season.

Averages a goal every 33min against LFC so far 😉

I just jynxed it.
