Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Saturday

Saturday continues with a quartet of matches, featuring Arsenal and an array of budget and mid-price Fantasy talent.

The Gunners trip to a resolute Aston Villa will likely be the headline act on show: Arsene Wenger’s men will look to recover from the midweek Champions League defeat to Dortmund against Paul Lambert’s resurgent midlands outfit. Alongside that, we’ve an enthralling encounter at the Liberty Stadium as Swansea and Southampton prepare to press and weave patterns around the South Wales pitch.

Elsewhere, Alan Pardew will look to extend his stay of execution at Newcastle via a winnable home clash with Hull City, while Burnley go in search of their first three points back in the top flight as Gus Poyet’s erratic Sunderland unit pull up to Turf Moor.

We may well be discussing some very meagre Fantasy points tallies by 4.50, as we prepare to make our way to East London to check in on West Ham’s progress, as they host Brendan Rodgers’ title pretenders, Liverpool.

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

    Cmon Welbeck, Ramsey, Sigurdsson, PVA, Clyne and Krul!

      That rolls off the tongue so easily 😉

      1. Captain Shirokov
        • 12 Years

      I've gone for SIggy (C) but now i'm thinking maybe Ramsey might do better...

      1. Captain Shirokov
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Have Rooney(c) playing tomorrow.

    3. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Don Vito, Chambers, Siggy & Pelle 🙂

  2. Back on the horse
    • 13 Years

    Sanchez out, Sanchez in

  3. PogChamp
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    I benched Siggy for Larsson 😯

    1. Captain Shirokov
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Seb Larsson? 😯

      1. PogChamp
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah

    2. Mull
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Meth is a hell of a drug!

    3. Sebbo29
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      OMG, intentionally?

      1. PogChamp
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        I've got Clyne and Pelle so went for the Southampton CS.

        1. Sebbo29
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          well played 🙂

  4. Royal5
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Diaby on the bench! Wow

    1. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      He'd get injured by the time he sits down

      1. Royal5
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        😆

    2. Venom Snake
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      He grazed his thigh on the bench. Apparantly out for up to 8 months

  5. goriuanx
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Would love a Southampton clean sheet today. 12 points wouldn't go amiss.

    1. Captain Shirokov
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      You've tripled?

      1. goriuanx
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Doubled..tripled would be 18

        1. Captain Shirokov
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          But they get 2 points for playing regardless.

  6. Dr Dream
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    This is where Ramsey trolls me again...10.4 for a rotatable player is too much...

    1. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Agreed. I hadn't noticed till you said.

    2. SEASIDER
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      He was in the original team. Something clearly happened. I'm going to wait for Wenger's post match interview before considering any change.

  7. Exilizer
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Is there no chatroom any more by the way?

  8. Bubz
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Caulker up to 2 bonus

    1. PGR
      • 12 Years

      1. Bubz
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        According to the bonus point page on totalfpl aye

        1. Billy Gilmore
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          And FPL. Looks final too as the ESP column is filled.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years

  10. Darth
    • 12 Years

    Why Toby? Why?

  11. Captain Shirokov
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Got a feeling Giaccherini will score today.

  12. Alan The Llama
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    3/1 on a Villa player to crap themselves on the pitch

    1. Mull
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Roy Keane isn't that scary.

    2. Venom Snake
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Senderos is guaranteed

    3. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Ox is up against Hutton. I pick him.

  13. Kerz
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    This Sanchez lad can't be fully fit?

    Arsenal better rip Villa up.

    1. Captain Shirokov
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      this

      1. Exilizer
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years

        Good start by Villa 🙁

  17. Lanley Staurel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Why no Sanchez gooner fans?

    1. Jax
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      you don't need to ask them. it was posted earlier.

      1. Lanley Staurel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

    2. AarÖn Özilski
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      He's afraid of the other Sanchez(villa)

  18. Jake Donahue
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    All this talk about getting rid of stoke defensive players, correct me if am wrong (not seen the goals) but it sounds like a big reflection and a free kick they could do nothing about!!!

  19. Lanley Staurel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Unsure why people surprised by Toby not playing as it was flagged on here a fair but yesterday.

  20. Demí
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Delighted Sanchez starts as a non-ramsey owner personally

    1. Cheggers v2
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Why

    2. Get up ya bum
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      He starts?

      1. Acquafresca
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        The Columbian one for Villa.

      2. Billy Gilmore
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah, late replacement for Westwood

      3. Demí
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah, Carlos Sanchez. Colombian DM, hoping he puts Ramsey in his pocket so to speak

      4. Dr Dream
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Villa Sanchez..

      5. Get up ya bum
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        🙁
        Wassup with the real Sanchez?

        1. Banana Shaqiri - HMD, PUP
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Are you implying that Carlos Sanchez is a figment of our imaginations?

        2. Dr Dream
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Scoring three goals in his last four obviously wasn't good enough for Wenger.

          1. Get up ya bum
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            😡

              At least i didn't captain

  21. McSauce
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Caulker bout time he repaid my faith

  22. Jet5605
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

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

    Time to ship Begovic?

    1. Mull
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      They're playing Newcastle at home next. Hold for now.

    2. Simon69

      Thinking the exact same thing. For whom is the question...

    2. Jax
