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.

    Yep, I can only really see Nani, Fabregas and Vidic doing well. Maybe Jarvis.

    Selling Bale instead of Malouda a few weeks back was a foolish move on my part.
    
    Spurs playing with two strikers seems to suit his style better than when they had one up front- or at least his fantasy returns.

Fabregas and Arshavin are both visionary players with original ideas. Somehow at times they don't understand each other very well. If they get their sh*t together, it will be great football.
