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.

      he's been awesome, i'm just sad for all the times i've benched him when they've squeaked out a cleanie, including this week. really wish he would have been a little more patient at united and stayed- he's quality.

        King Eric - today summed up why he was not good enough for United. A great shot stopper when he's exposed for 90 minutes, but for United he would have had to make one save against Wigan and messed it up.

    i knew i should have played foster over jaask simply due to saves as bolton always leak one even if they win. never would have thought a birmingham cleanie after chelsea coming off a loss, but that would have been an extra nice bonus. too bad elmander was off, i reckon they would have let him take it. what a day for united, chelsea and arsenal both unexpected losses.

      Seeing as Brum kept a clean sheet over City, Chelsea are on a losing streak, and Foster's racked up the saves points, I think all signs pointed to him.

    Holden looked fantastic today. He does all the dirty work and still manages to get forward, he deserves some BPs.

    Drogba is a pleb regardless of if he is recovering from Maleria.....Lost my patience with him just aswell i had Elmander,Carroll,Fabregas & VDV so get some points on board.

    Back to Drogba IMO not as essential this season. Easy swap next week Drogba > Saha.

    Bham v chelsea (draw)
    BOLTON v newcastle
    MAN UTD v wigan
    west brom v STOKE
    COVENTRY v burnley

    1 goal from Chelsea for £130. So frustrating. Ah well at least they lost again.

    I'm jumping on that Elmander bandwagon like I should have done weeks ago!
