Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Tuesday

There’s just one match on this evening’s agenda to concern Fantasy managers. Arsenal’s rescheduled home clash with West Ham gets underway at 7.45pm, with the Gunners desperate to get their bid for a fourth-placed finish back on track:

Arsene Wenger’s side will be buoyed by the weekend FA Cup Semi-Final win over Wigan, and with games against Hull, Newcastle, West Brom and Norwich still to follow, their chief Fantasy assets have the perfect platform to make a bid for our consideration.

Meanwhile, the Hammers have survival on their agenda. Sam Allardyce’s side roll up to the Emirates knowing that a win would take them to the 40-point mark and leave them 10 points clear of the drop zone with only four matches remaining.

We’ll bring you the teamsheet news from tonight’s game in north London via our Twitter feed, while our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open for those looking for some real-time reactions.

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

              I can understand Suarez. I thought and still think he's going to be Lukaku-like in being a destroyer of the big teams. I expect to outscore Lukaku and Aguero captainers by the end of the week.

          When you think their own club is remembering the tragedy at Hillsborough you'd think they wouldn't make light of another team's tragedy. That's what struck me, nearly disrespectful to the Hillsborough 96 as well.

      I never wanted Yaya and Sturridge to get injured, just to be crap until the end of the season. My last two diffs were Aguero and Gerrard now everyone has them and I have no chance of gaining any ground . What a terrible season 😐

        Same here, had been telling people Sturridge was done a few weeks ago.. And the three City mids were doing great for me, now Aguero back and Yaya gone means everyone's loading up on Silva/Nasri too, not much room left for improvement except for (C) choices and maybe the defence if you're brave..
