The Dugout Discussion – Sunday

Sunday presents two further Premier League encounters with a variety of Fantasy heavy-hitters on show.

Events begin at Anfield, with Liverpool starting life without Luis Suarez with an encounter against a Southampton side ravaged by a summer exodus. It’s a fascinating scenario that’s set to feature an-all start case of assets, including Daniel Sturridge and Raheem Sterling – players burdened by big Fantasy ownership and expectation. The Saints, meanwhile, arrive on Merseyside looking to gel quickly after a flurry of new arrivals under the guidance of new boss, Ronald Koeman.

The day concludes at St James’ Park, as Newcastle host champions City. Manuel Pellegrini will likely field a much-changed side to the XI that suffered a Community Shield reverse against Arsenal. Even so, Fantasy investment in the City ranks has been tempered, with Yaya Toure remaining the top target, finding his way into 20% of Fantasy Premier League squads. Like Southampton, Newcastle present us with an array of new signings to assess, making Sunday a vital opportunity to scout talent.

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

    Is Siggi going to be playing in the hole next week or will Monk put Gomis in and then move him out wide? I wonder if that explains the difference his home/away goalscoring, as teams tend to play one up front away from home more often and he then gets the number 10 role rather than being out on the wing in a 4-4-2?

      Before yesterday there was a chance of going 4-4-2 for the home games but I doubt he changes a formation that just won at Old Trafford.

          What is wrong with Monk. Just because he's untested doesn't mean he's shit. He's carrying on with the same footballing philosophy and has the respect of the whole squad
