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.

      Seeing as he cost 2 million less, I really do think he was the better pick. 2 points fewer for 2 million is very nice indeed.

          Think they were unfortunate to be honest and had he been a little sharper he would have a goal to his name.

          Gomis is going to push Bony for that starting berth, if Bony leaves he is a fantastic option.

            Remy absolutely spanks everyone from yesterday for penalty box touches, that's for sure.

            If Bony leaves, Gomis is in. But I'm not sure it'll happen.

        Long is tempting me but not sure what Koeman's plans are. He wants another winger and he has Tadic. So that's his wings sorted… so is it Long vs Pelle for that final spot?

    so, that's my first problem. Jovetic. Doesn't look like he'll start next week with Aguero warming up on side this match itself. only .5 in bank and no good looking forwards at that range. maybe Dzeko? He is good today.
