The Dugout Discussion – Saturday

4,059 Comments
Share

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.

      I made Dier my captain this week whilst just making a point to someone. Never intended to keep him captain! Forgot about it and woke up too late this morning!

      Gotze, Lewandowski are better in that regard than Herrara and Rooney.

      I've made up a new *rule* this year.
      If a player costs double digits then he has to be an *easy* captain's choice most weeks.
      Following this rule, I haven't got Sanchez in...
      As a result, I'd prefer B) mate.

            Have 2FT. Wanna switch up my defense.

            Guzan / Foster
            Colo / Caulker / Chester / Moore / PVA

            Was thinking to do - Foster > Heaton
            Chester > Bertrand

            Not feeling Colo or Caulker anymore so would consider other options..

            Any thoughts appreciated 🙂

                I'd say there's some. Given how attacking he's been playing he might not suit a park-the-bus mentality.

                      I can afford either (Welbeck is 0.5 cheaper) but already have Ramsey and Chambers and fancy SOT to score well at home to QPR
