The Dugout Discussion – Monday

The final match of an explosive Gameweek 8 takes place at the Hawthorns this evening. West Brom are looking for their third win in four as Man United roll up to the Midlands, with Alan Irvine’s side having beaten Spurs and Burnley before narrowly tasting defeat at Anfield last time around.

Youngster Saido Berahino carries the main threat for the Baggies, having scored five of their eight league goals this season. In midfield, the likes of Graham Dorrans and Chris Brunt will be looking to stake a claim as viable budget options ahead of a run which pits the hosts against Palace, Leicester and Newcastle in the next three.

Andre Wisdom owners will be glad to hear the right-back returns to the XI this evening – unavailable to face parent club Liverpool last time around, he replaces Cristian Zamboa. Elsewhere at the back, though, Ben Foster misses out with a calf complaint.

Louis van Gaal’s side are searching for their first away win of the season this evening. United may have triumphed in each of their last three at Old Trafford but on the road, it’s been a different matter altogether – draws against Sunderland and Burnley preceded a 5-3 hammering at Leicester.

Now up to 42% ownership in the Fantasy Premier League game, Angel Di Maria carries the hopes of many after serving up a goal and assist in three of the last four. Robin van Persie retains his place but Radamel Falcao drops to the bench for the visitors as Adnan Januzaj comes in, whilst Juan Mata continues in “the hole” due to the absence of suspended skipper Wayne Rooney.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Let's try this here:

    It seems like this is the week where the top 10k or the top 5k separate themselves from the rest of the group.

    I've checked some FPL teams, and seems like the gap is widening (from last week at least).

    what is the ideal points for ADM to get for a ADM owner and non captainer? a blank would probably be bad for overall rank but a too bigger haul would also see a lot of costa and ADM VC'er surpass them? .. I'll take 6

    For those in top 10k:
    24.6% of top 10k has ADM C, assuming 29.4%(%VC) of the 44.8% Costa C has ADM VC - means a whooping 37.8% would have ADM C. ADM ownership in top 10k is 91.4%. So not much gained and plenty to lose by a giant ADM haul for those who have him(me) but not as C ;p
