Saturday’s Dugout Discussion

As dust settles from the latest Fantasy Premier League (FPL) deadline, first up today is Tottenham Hotspur’s trip to the Reebok Stadium to face Bolton Wanderers.

The team news for the 12:45pm game is in, and Harry Redknapp is forced to make changes as Aaron Lennon and Rafael Van der Vaart miss out as expected. Somewhat surprisingly though, in comes Niko Kranjcar and Sandro.

For Bolton, they name an unchanged side from the one that lost 1-0 at home to Liverpool last week.

The full line-ups are as follows…

Bolton Wanderers XI: Jaaskelainen, Steinsson, Knight, Cahill, Robinson, Lee, Holden, Muamba, Taylor, Elmander, K Davies.

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Gomes, Hutton, Kaboul, Gallas, Assou-Ekotto, Kranjcar, Palacios, Sandro, Bale, Modric, Crouch.

Then there’s a healthy dose of six afternoon Premier League games, for which we will all be nervously awaiting the team sheets. The games 3pm are West Ham’s visit to St. Andrews, Wigan Athletic’s short journey to Blackburn Rovers, Blackpool’s home game against Everton, Sunderland (without Darren Bent according to his Twitter account) hosting Stoke City, Aston Villa’s visit to Craven Cottage and last but by no means least is Manchester United’s second game at Old Trafford against Wolves in as many weeks.

There is no evening game today, well not in the Premier League at least. You could always watch Derby County Vs. Portsmouth or Cambridge United Vs. Huddersfield Town. Just saying.

To take you through the inevitable fireworks today will bring, the Dugout Discussion is open for business as per usual, and will remain so until those last bonus points are released. Good luck everyone!

      He clocks up shitloads in the Cl, but nothing in the league.

      He's the new Crouch. PL defenders have sussed him, continental ones don't have a clue.

          Hes had a couple of great crosses, crouch just waits for the ball to come to him, he doesnt make any runs across defenders. Hes been awful all round, takes about 50 touches to many, no power, trys the impossible. Here comes Pav!

          He's still probably the best crosser at the club, but we don't really cross it much anyway.

          He's been going backwards for two years, and probably wouldn't even be first choice if Gibbs hadn't have been assaulted by that Liege player last season.

            Tell me the best crosser at the club line is a joke? He is awful. Gibbs is a far better crosser. Even Sagna is better. Its not just crossing, he wastes possession a lot and just shoots from 30 yards when he doesn't know what to do.
