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.

    Best news of the day: Collocini suspended for the Chelsea game.

    Anyone have a picture of a hand grasping at some straws? I'm on my phone...

    P.S. Watched the Arsenal game early.... Fabregas is absolutely ridiculous. If Chamakh wasn't such a mong several times, he could have had a monster score. I'd give him 3 Bps, but I'll take 2. I bet Bale gets 2 with VDV 3 though...

    I don't know if I should laugh or cry!

    Captained Fabs when I toyed with the idea of going with Elmander last night. Have both Foster and Dann(1st sub) on the bench too.

    That being said, i'm on 38 points before bonuses (Elmander/Fabs/Bale/Carroll/Malouda) with Hart, Samba, Konchesky, Elmo, Cahill and Tevez still to play, so not all doom and gloom just yet, I hope!

    Another thing that is really winding me up...VDV! I can't bring myself to take out Bale, and keep telling myself VDV can't play like THAT every week, but alas he does. Should I just swallow the bitter pill now and drop Malouda for VDV and use the extra cash in other areas, or just ride out the storm?

There was nothing shown in the 2nd half from them in terms of calmness,experience or determination to get the result instead they were just playing away at god know what.

    I'm slowly being won over by the idea that point hits are good....

    (but no more than 4 points....)

    I know its early but considering Malouda + O Shea -> Fabs and Evra for a 4 point hit (cant afford Vidic). Yay or nay?

    Took a 4 point hit to get Nani and Bosingwa in today = Fail

    Lets hope that Arteta doesnt rub it in too much..

    I'll tell you all something for free, so put your wallet away.... Malouda or Drogba is leaving the building at some point this week.
