Dugout Discussion

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.

    Need one of my Hazard or Dzeko differentials to do something today, or this is their swan song in my team.

    So close to a Costa tap in.

      Would have been a Ivanovic assist

    Looking for a bit of sympathy.

    Was in a strip club until 6am this morning - wakes up and finds Naismith didn't play - 3 men out on the bench means 10 players.

    Anybody know why he didn't play?

      Does mentioning the strip club make any difference to what you said?

        We would never get on. So don't reply to any of my comments in future please.

      You must have left him in there. You were supposed to be keeping an eye on him.

      1. Screaming Midget
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 9 days ago

        😀 Strange decision to bench a form striker though.

    5. Podge

      How was the club ?

      1. Screaming Midget

    1. Kip
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Depends on whether Naismith will get a cameo or not

    2. Woy
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Reckon so

    3. Screaming Midget
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 9 days ago

    6. Gimli son of Gloin
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Meh, on 43 with Terry, Costa and Zaha ''playing'' .. suppose it's not much cause for huge complaint.

  9. The Light Knight
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Why are people surprised this is an awful game? Jose is famous for it

    1. svasei - Up (?) the Rovers
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Man City started the fouling when Chelsea was breaking.

    2. vice
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 9 days ago

      For you an awful game is 42 goals? It's a spectacular game to watch for me so far.

      1. vice
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 9 days ago

        I think you'd fancy La Liga more. 😉

  11. Paul Psychic Octopus

    • 13 Years

    Naismith needs to stay on the bench. Have PVA, Wisdom and Fab waiting on mine.

    1. Give The Todd Some Love
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 9 days ago

      He'll definitely come on

    2. mgilbert86

  12. AlCapwnUK
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 9 days ago

    apart from Silva the passing has been pretty meh

  13. Captain Shirokov
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Silva should have been sent off.

  14. svasei - Up (?) the Rovers
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Almost Ivan > Costa orgasm.

  15. Wild Rover
    • 14 Years

    All these yellows, here's hoping for 90 mins for Kun.

    1. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 9 days ago

      90 mins, red card and an injury?

  20. VougieDipond
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 9 days ago

    There is a guy on my fb waiting on Everton to draw for 16.5k on 1 pound 8 draw accumulator

    1. jimmy12
      • 10 Years

  24. Granville

    I hope United are watching how Chelsea get everyone behind the ball when they lose possession.

    1. Not Irish
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 9 days ago

      Well they are playing one CF rather than three TBF.

  25. SENTI CAZORLA
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 9 days ago

    hoping for a 1-1 with Fabregas and Mangala goals no assists...and a Dzeko red card perhaps

  26. ktk_interista
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 9 days ago

    A GW to test patience and resolve. There will be much kneejerking after this.

  27. Somalion

    I'd like to blow up her planets with my Death Star...

    Wait...

  28. mgilbert86

    10 years, 9 days ago

    Ulloah has played Everton, Chelsea, Arsenal and Man Utd in his first five and has five goals...

    Essential

  29. Logic
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 9 days ago

    What do u think of this attack. Pelle(C) Costa Welbeck

  30. Podge
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 9 days ago

    Costa is now irrelevant to fantasy football 🙁

    1. Woy of the Wovers
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 9 days ago

      I think everyone should sell him and buy Ulloa.

      1. Podge
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 9 days ago

        I might get him for Aguero funnily, that injury worry rattled me

      2. Who Ate All Depays?
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 9 days ago

        Ulloa indeed looks quite impressive
