Saturday Dugout Discussion

We’ve got three days of Fantasy Football this gameweek, but it’s all about Saturday in fairness for most Fantasy Managers out there. If you’re looking for a strong Gameweek, you’re going to need to kick things off with a bang. We’ll be starting proceedings with Arsenal playing host to Tottenham in the hotly contested North London derby…

Laurent Koscielny returns from suspension and Denilson ousts Jack Wilshere in midfield for the Gunners while Harry Redknapp recalls fit again Aaron Lennon in place of Peter Crouch as he reverts to a 4-5-1 formation. Jermain Defoe is back on the bench today after two months out. The line-ups in full are…

Arsenal XI: Fabianski; Sagna, Squillaci, Koscielny, Clichy; Song, Denilson; Nasri, Fabregas, Arshavin; Chamakh

Spurs XI: Gomes; Hutton, Kaboul, Gallas, Assou-Ekotto; Lennon, Jenas, Modric, Bale; Van Der Vaart; Pavluychenko

The day keeps trucking with the 3pm kick-offs with many Fantasy Managers pinning their hopes and FPL armbands on Nani against Wigan at Old Trafford, while Chelsea backers will hope that the Blues can turn the ship around against the other Blues of Birmingham City. Liverpool, sans Steven Gerrard, will be welcoming West Ham to Anfield in our evening kick-off as they look to push up the table and bounce back from defeat at Stoke.

There’s a lot to be taken in today and as normal the Dugout Discussion is open and awaiting all of your fervent displays this fine day.

    That was the most pathetic and disgusting surrendering I have ever seen. Wenger should write a formal apology to every Arsenal fan for letting that one slip away.

    Koscienly has the attention span of a five year old, he's cost the Arsenal side several points already this season.

    I don't even care much for either team but that was pathetic.

    Good job by Tottenham of course, and what I said at half time was obviously bollocks. Still can't believe it happened though. Oh dear.

      shocked at that result, especially after how well arsenal played in the first half; they were absolutely running it. what i can't wrap my head around is why fabregas and chamakh needed to put their arms in the air to give away that penalty- crucial moment. they could've just leaped for the header. if they hadn't given that away i really couldn't've seen arsenal losing.

      fantasy wise i have vdv and fabs so a decent start to the week, but premier league table wise, very disappointing. wenger must be SO furious.
