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.

          Well saying that.

          Theres only one god and that's Messi.

          I'd love to see Fabs come play at Old Trafford though. Reckon we can prise him away from Arsenal and get in before Barca?

        Yes! He was still class. I dont know what happened, no excuses. We need a Gary Cahill or someone who can head the ball, our Goalkeeper takes a lot of flack but a goalkeeper like Cech would struggle with our defence.

      Fabs was an absolute class apart on the field, but the magnitude of the result suggests to me that he might be left empty-handed BPs wise.

    I have both Bale and VDV - although the intention was to trade Bale out before this GW. The score for Bale last GW made me keep him for the time being. And (fortunately) I was rewarded again. Now just need Nani (c) to score high. [crosses fingers since captain choices previously have been appalling]

          Macheda scored last week, and we've no in form strikers. Obertan scored in the CL a while back and deserves a start.
