Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Sunday

Gameweek 28 concludes with three concurrent Premier League meetings, all kicking off at the unfamiliar time of 4.30pm.

It’s fair to say that the attentions of Fantasy Football managers will be firmly focused on White Hart Lane, where Spurs host a Cardiff side that has shipped 14 goals in their previous five away trips. We’re all anticipating a big home win, with Emmanuel Adebayor carrying the captaincy hopes for so many. Given Luis Suarez’s haul in yesterday’s win at Southampton, the expectation on the Spurs striker to deliver has intensified.

Elsewhere, owners of Robert Snodgrass will be hoping that he can maintain the form that saw him snatch the winner against Spurs last time out. The Scot is part of the Norwich side that faces up to Villa in the midlands today, while over in South Wales, Swansea will host Crystal Palace, with Wilfried Bony perhaps the most significant Fantasy asset on show.

Our Twitter feed will supply all the teamsheet news from these encounters, while the Dugout Discussion chatroom is once again open and welcoming all-comers who are in search of some real-time reactions.

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

    Everton fans are saying Mirallas and Lukaku were on the bench as Martinez plans to start them vs Arsenal so thought yesterday would be an opportune game to rotate and play the likes of Deulofeu and Naismith.

    What are Mirallas owners doing with him?

      Yeah, that's how I saw it. Mentioned this in the Scout Mission, always thought Mirallas would be a slight risk.

      I'm keeping, I think - fixtures too good and I'd want him back for the doubles.

        Yep, he was a risk but just hoped he'd start and come off early perhaps. Will probably keep, but Puncheon being absent next week too would force my hand.

    Looking at Arsenal's fixtures, I think Koscielny's going to have to go. Which defender would you get in for this point forward, taking into account blanks and double gameweeks? Evra maybe? The rest of my defence is Whittaker (yeah, I know), Ward, Azpilicueta and Fonte.

    Dissapointing end for a decent UFPL round. 96 points, both my arguable changes were bad, as usual, 4 points lost. Top 100 overall is out of the question, but i probably won't collapse more than 50-100 more places, with only one clean sheet and the usual suspects Bony/Eriksen/SWA/NOR/AVL defs not delivering for the others. It's only one round though and i've tried to build the team having in mind all three rounds, but we all know how efficient planning is sometimes in these games 🙂

    I've seen a fantastic score in the FFS league, Regression Allstars, probably the new leader overall or very close anyway. Well done!
