The Dugout Discussion – Saturday

Saturday rolls on with a set of five afternoon kick-offs, rounded off unceremoniously by a tea-time clash as Hull City host Stoke. Interesting.

Before that, all eyes will be on Goodison and Stamford Bridge where two prime captain candidates – namely Romelu Lukaku and Eden Hazard, will carry the hopes of thousands of Fantasy managers as they face up to the Fulham and Crystal Palace defences respectively.

The afternoon’s events are completed by West Brom’s trip to Cardiff, while Newcastle host Southampton and an injury-ravaged West Ham entertain Sunderland.

As always, you can look to our twitter feed for details of the major movements on the teamsheets, while our Dugout Discussion chatroom will take you through today’s matches, right up until the final whistle at the KC Stadium.

      It doesn't go down to 2 or 1 BPs if 3 players have 3 points each. That's 9BPs which is, in my opinion, too many anyway. They should share the 6 that are 'normally' on offer and get 2 each.

Arsenal crumbled and big Per took it out on lazy Ozil.

Golden boy Wilshere gives finger to fans, which Suarez got banned for.

Let's see what the corrupt FA do.....

        What's confusing Bemba? The BAPS only go to the top three players. Unless the 4th etc tie with the 3rd place player.

Punt on Jagielka C didn't work out, actually he was the only one on my team who didn't score at least 5 points... Was going to captain Lukaku anyway so I only lost a grand total of 3 points, could be worse. 55 pre baps, how's everybody else doing?

So, clearly my fail on last page about BPS

"If there is a tie for first place, Players 1 & 2 will receive 3 points each and Player 3 will receive 1 point.
If there is a tie for second place, Player 1 will receive 3 points and Players 2 and 3 will receive 2 points each.
If there is a tie for third place, Player 1 will receive 3 points, Player 2 will receive 2 points and Players 3 & 4 will receive 1 point each."

9 BPS: Shawcross, Wilson, Muniesa
8 BPS: Begovic, Chester, Figueroa, Davies
7 BPS: McGregor, Bruce, Cameron

not quite sure how that will play out based on the above
