Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – QPR vs Stoke

European football ravages Saturday’s programme, leaving us with just half a dozen encounters. The day’s events start with what, on paper, looks a tepid affair: Stoke pay visit to Loftus Road to meet with Harry Redknapp’s newly promoted QPR.

Let’s not dress this up – Fantasy managers are likely to have little or no interest in this one. Having been disappointed by the impact of Bojan after his pre-season hype, we’ve steered clear of Mark Hughes’ Potters, bar skipper Ryan Shawcross who has a place in almost 15% of Fantasy Premier League lineups. As for the R’s, only defender Steven Caulker can boast respectable ownership – indicating that a classic 0-0 stalemate will be the result of choice for many.

The early kick-off takes us into four afternoon clashes, before the day is rounded off with Liverpool’s trip to Upton Park at tea-time. As always, you can look to our Twitter feed for lineup news on that one and all today’s matches.

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

    Hoping for a goal fest with Swansea-Southampton. Got Clyne, Tadic, and Siggy starting.

      When two teams are reasonably evenly match and both would take a draw you often get caution and thus less goals. I was expecting 0-0 but 1-0 is not surprising

    Late change for Villa. @SanchezCarlosA in for @ARWesty15. Joe Cole on the bench. #AVFCLIVE #avfc

    Best Leicester defender to own?
    I was thinking of using my 2 FT and doing Vertonghen to Konchesky, to free up funds for Ballo to Aguero

        Makes sense in most games where he's listed as a defender.

    Stoke's defense is so overrated. The clean sheet against City was obviously freakish.

    Time to ship Begovic?

    Took the armband off Welbeck today. Hope Rooney can do the trick.

    Eventually got rid of Bojan this week-was tempted with Naismith but went for Welbeck-at last a good decision!

      You'll regret that tomorrow when Naismith nets a hatty!

    Can't believe people on here were actually calling for Sterling to be sold when it was 2-0. Kneejerkers aplenty!

    Score check:

    33 after bps with 3 strikers to play (Costa, Naismith, Rooney(c))

  18. Drop Dead Tsimikas

    31 with a handful left to go: Lloris, Eriksen, Roo(c), Naismith, DiegoC

    Every time I am disappointed with the lack of success of my decisions i always go to James Chester's FPL page to remind my self that he had 128751 Net Transfers in for GW2..

    A. Yes
