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.

          He looks shite.

          And I was close to going with Sterling over him anyway.

            At least give him the Burnley game. See how he does then, I think most of the problem was generated from a lack of confidence further back on the pitch.

          I'm in a similar position

          77 with Silva and Kolorov playing in a 4-4-2

          Cahill, Hazard, Costa on the bench.

          I can lose Lovren and Jones easy enough (3 and 4 points) but either Silva or one of my two 8pt strikers will have to bite the dust for the second of Costa and Hazard.

          I think I'd twist from Roonidge if it came down to it. Go big or go home
