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.

      Seems I'm the only one on this but I think Chamakh is rather good. He's a bit erratic but links up play well and has an eye for goal, at least from time to time.

        Indeed. Disappointed he hasn't been more of an aerial goal threat though, I think that's something we lack, especially at corners, and he's had that aspect to his game in the past.

      When Utd play Arsenal, they put either Anderson or Fletcher on Fabregas, Chelsea do it with Essien and neither give him any space. What on earth is Arry thinking? Ridiculous.

    Don't get me wrong, I like Spurs and what they have achieved is great.

    This is inevitably what will happen in an away game to top opposition to a manager that doesn't use his white board though. Pure motivation is just not enough for every situation.

    See the away game to Inter for another example.

    Ok, so Im not watching the match but Im not feeling alot of love for Chamakh. Hes in my front 3 alongside Drogba and Davies and whilst he no doubt is wasteful infront of goal, technically inferior to Alex Song and a surefire bet to leave my team when RvP is fully fit he seems impossible to drop! He's scoring well, could and should be scoring massive, but he's still guaranteed an assist/goal most games. Anyone else resent the big guy but not able to drop him?
