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.

    What do you think about this.

    This week- rivière for Rooney
    Next week- atsu for silva
    Week after- hendo for young.

    I know united have good fixtures but I wanted something a bit different.

      Have you seen Riviere? He's not doing a lot, apart from shooting wide.

    Rooney / Costa / Jutkiewicz

    A) Young -> Siggy & Jutkiewicz -> 4.5 m (Vaz Te or Zamora)
