The Dugout Discussion – Sunday

5,516 Comments
Share

Sunday brings the Gameweek to a close with a trio of matches featuring an array of Fantasy talent. Things get rolling with a pair of lunchtime kick-offs, as Villa host United and Swansea make the trip to Carrow Road to face Chris Hughton’s Norwich. That’s followed by the headline act, as Andre Villas-Boas looks to continue the Spurs revival against a Liverpool unit weakened by a string of injuries.

While the press will be focused on David Moyes, Fantasy managers will be more interested in Wayne Rooney’s performance. With a potential absence for Sergio Aguero looming, the United striker could make himself “essential” over the Christmas period if he can produce in the midlands. With Michu expected to earn a run-out at Norwich, we’ll have the opportunity to assess whether he can join both David Silva and Theo Walcott on our midfield Christmas list, while at 4pm, all eyes will be on Luis Suarez as he looks to overcome the absence of skipper Steven Gerrard and strike partner Daniel Sturridge against the Spurs back four.

Look to our Twitter feed for the latest teamsheet bulletins, while our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open and will remain available throughout today’s three fixtures.

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

        sort of

        79 points without Suarez (c) so I think that's pretty good

        But what a great day I had at OT.

      Do you see yourself making up 16 points with those additions in the week?

      If you do not; I would suggest avoiding anything above a 4-8 point hit. With the many games coming up; you will have more frequent chances to change your lineup. You're also nearing a wildcard.

      16 points is a huge chunk.

    Guys..I am no doctor but a little research using Google will tell you that a grade 1 calf injury would take a minimum of two weeks to heal,whereas a grade 3 would take a couple of months or more.
    2 weeks off minimum is sure.

    So Aguero to Negredo?
