Saturday Dugout Discussion

As the dust settles on Papiss Cisse’s stunning contribution last night, Fantasy managers must prepare for seven more Premier League games as the Gameweek progresses in earnest. Our Dugout Discussion Chatroom is now fully fuelled and running its engines in time for day’s opener at the Stadium of Light.

Spurs make the journey to the North East, having witnessed Newcastle’s clinical disposal of Swansea in last night’s victory at the Liberty. The ball is very much in Harry Redknapp’s court as he attempts to keep Alan Pardew’s men at arms length, whilst fending off Arsene Wenger’s Gunners who take on City tomorrow. The teams line-up as follows…

Sunderland XI: Mignolet, Bardsley, Colback, Kilgallon, Turner, Larsson, McClean, Cattermole, Gardner, Sessegnon, Bendtner.
Tottenham XI: Friedel; Walker, Kaboul, Gallas, Assou-Ekotto; Parker, Sandro; Van Der Vaart, Modric, Bale; Adebayor

We’ll then roll through five three o’clock kick-offs, Chelsea vs Wigan and Bolton vs Fulham to name but a couple, before Stoke and Wolves come clattering together in today’s evening fixture and rounding out our Saturday affairs.

Join the your Fantasy Football peers for a chat via this link.

I didn't play him today but is it time to get rid of Bogdan? Not being critical of him..he's a good shot stopper. There's no way he's gonna be keeping cleanies in future with that defence in front of him

  Who is your other keeper?
  
  They don't get much cheaper than Bogdan so there is no point getting rid especially as you have the option to play hin in the GW35 doubler.

If I had kept Bale (Dempsey), as it was all week, I would have had 33pts on my bench.

Miyaichi getting subbed off early again, anyone considering getting rid?

I don't think I would have space to field an eventual replacement next week, but might get in McClean for GW34.

Okay guys, last time I'm going to post this.

I need around 10 more people to fill out my survey on innovation in video games. Would really appreciate it, if you could take 2-3 minutes of your time filling it out for me, if you have an interest in video games

If you've already done it, thanks again!

  Three holes in a row - any one of which can wreck a player's challenge. So-called because you do a lot of praying as you go "round the corner" of the course.

It's so hard looking at Krul and Dempseys points on the bench,his performance today has thrown the cat among the pigeons would u play him over Siggy next game? I was all set to offload him for Sess in preparation for 34 might just play 10 now and keep him seen as though he has Wigan in 35, oh and Fergie feel free to rest Valencia tommorow for the full 90

I really need some help from you guys on how to use my FT's. My plan was to use 1 eeach week so I have 2 for the DGW.

Schwarzer Mignolet

Ridgewell Evans Baines Caulker Wilkinson

Walcott Valencia Dempsey Bale Siggy

RVP Rooney Holt

*10 GW34 players

*4 DGW players excluding Wilko

Ignore Newcastle v Bolton and focus on GW34 players or not?

Anything else I should be thinking of?
