The Dugout Discussion – Sunday

After a subdued Saturday programme, Sunday explodes on us with veritable feast of football featuring five of last season’s top seven sides. While Chelsea’s visit to the Etihad at tea-time is undoubtedly the headline act, we’ve plenty to keep us engaged until the 4pm kick-off.

The day begins with a pair of fixtures, with Leicester looking to continue their impressive start to their campaign against Louis van Gaal’s United redux, whilst at the Lane, Spurs will be seeking to dish out further punishment to a West Brom side that’s faltered out of the blocks so far.

That’s rounded off by the main event in Manchester, with Everton’s Goodison clash with Crystal Palace running alongside it. Fantasy managers look set for a eventful afternoon,then, with the day’s events potential turning Gameweek fortunes on their head.

As always, you can look to our Twitter feed for all the teamsheet news and key injury updates as the night draws in and Gameweek 5 draws to a close.

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

    Do I wildcard this week?

    Had another awful week but feel that things will settle further.

    I'd end up with a 5 man midfield and Costa welbeck up front! Good idea or should I keep WC intact?

    I have two FT's for next week, which two players are the most important for me to get rid of?

    Begovic (McCarthy)

    Lovren Clyne Naylor (Wisdom) (moore)

    Fabregas Sterling Tadic Siggy (Boyd)

    Costa Balotelli Rooney

    I'm thinking Balo to Welbz and Rooney to Aguero...I actually think Pelle will score more points in the short term but think that Tadic is enough attacking Southampton coverage...thoughts??

        Don't like the second one so much, but wasn't gonna lose Aguero or Costa, and don't see anyone below 8M Sterling worth having outside of Sigurdsson. Will take the 6PPG from Chadli and run 🙂

          I'm tempted to do a similar kneejerk but would cost me 4 points. Was going to have 2 free transfers but had to transfer Toby to Bertrand on Friday night.

    As exciting as Coleman/Baines attacking returns can be, a large part of their attractiveness last year was also the clean sheets. Now team with most conceded goals after 5 games.
    Surely Ivanovic is now the only DF worthy of spending more than 6.0m on,
