The final match of Gameweek 1 see Man City play host to Swansea. The Dugout Discussion chatroom is open for business as usual, so come in, take a seat and let’s see if we Roberto Mancini’s side can be the only team to win at home in the opening set of matches…

Edin Dzeko starts up front for City, with Mario Balotelli dropping to the bench as Adam Johnson takes his place in the first XI. And no, Aleksander Kolarov doesn’t start.

Man City: Hart, Richards, Kompany, Lescott, Clichy, Toure Yaya, De Jong, Barry, Silva, Dzeko, Johnson. Subs: Taylor, Zabaleta, Milner, Kolarov, Savic, Aguero, Balotelli.

Swansea: Vorm, Rangel, Caulker, Williams, Tate, Britton, Dobbie, Agustien, Dyer, Graham, Sinclair. Subs: Moreira, Orlandi, Routledge, Lita, Moore, Allen, Gower.
Referee: Mike Dean (Wirral)

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

          Not sure. Likely to be in the next month or so though. Everton have good fixtures in that time too.

      If you went of the Stoke game you'd have to go for Torres, but with him more of a rotation risk than Malouda along with Malouda being strongest at home it's a tough one.

      Malouda probably just gets it as there are a greater wealth of players upfront to choose from in the cheap to mid range.

    According to the BBC, there are ten shots ON TARGET by Citeh. Now I know that at least 4 of those were by Yaya - according to Mr. Green. What does that say about the rest of the attack ... ?

      This bonus system like all others is a mystery...

      Seriously though this new system is apparently stats based - assists/goals/cleansheets/touches/etc. Apparently being the important word as the bps have gone to honestly odd choices.

    Just looking at them new PPI points, how the hell did Carroll not get any? not even one.

    And going to the Chelsea team, Benny got 5 and he was on the pitch for less than 5 mins while Torres who played the whole game and imo was Chelsea's best player got none?

    Am I clicking the wrong button? 😆
