Put up your feet, pour yourself another glass of mulled wine and grab that tin of Quality Street. After all it is christmas, and after all we’ve got another match to take in as we round out gameweek nineteen just as soon as it starts.

The Dugout Discussion closes it’s door for no-one and a festive game between Arsenal and Chelsea are no exception. Just nineteen weeks down and Arsene Wenger finally gets to start his two key players – Cesc Fabregas & Robin Van Persie – together for the first time this season, while the likes of Walcott finally get a start after weeks waiting patiently on the bench. Managerial heavyweight Carlo Ancelotti meanwhile gets to start Frank Lampard for the first time since August also. Team sheets in full are…

Arsenal: Fabianski; Sagna, Koscielny, Djourou, Clichy; Song, Fabregas, Wilshere; Walcott, van Persie, Nasri

Chelsea: Cech; Ferreira, Ivanovic, Terry, Cole; Essien, Mikel, Lampard; Kalou, Drogba, Malouda

Come join the festive banter as we all gorge on treats ahoy together and close out the gameweek in the Dugout Discussion.

      Tevez is amazingly consistent and is the highest scorer in FFL.. No contest.

    Groan. Top 3,000 to top 60,000+ in less time than it takes Tevez to decide he's not homesick any more.

    At this rate, I'll be behind AP - which will make him even more insufferable given the state of the table. 🙁

      Easy just to give it to the goalscorers I suppose. Djourou and Wilshere could just as easily have picked up bonus.

        I wouldn't complain about them tbh, ya sure they were all goalscorers but song was great all game and covered so much ground, Fabs was involved in all goals so clearly had a major influence on the game and i thought was very good in the first half getting to the by-line and causing problems, also directly involved in 2 goals..I'm happy with the bonnies..

        Song was the only player likely to displace Fabs for the 3 points.

    What would you do?

    A. Malouda to VDV
    B. Drogba to Tevez
    C. Both (4 point hit)

    (Also consider Bale to VDV to not over invest in Tot, but none of my minileauge rivals have Bale, and I still feel he's going to come good...)

    I have:

    Foster (Krul)
    Samba, Vidic, Coleman (Jara, Foley)
    Bale, Y Toure, Malouda, Nani, Nasri
    Drogba, Carroll (Piquone)

    Want to drop Malouda, but just cannot get Chelsea's fixtures out of my mind for the next few...That said, they looked shite via Arsenal, and I've obviously grasped for too long...

    Thoughts?

    Alright, so I need some advice desperately.
    Any advice is more than welcome!
    My team:
    Fabianski, Alhabsi
    Konchesky, Salgado, Kolorov, Foley, Bardsley
    Nasri, Malouda, Nani, Yaya, VDV
    Carroll, Tevez, Rooney

    I've got 0.0 in the bank, and I want to get rid of Malouda.
    How does Malouda-->Fabregas, and then Nasri-->Barton sound?
    It will cost me 4 points, but mean I have money to spend, possibly on my defence next week.
    Help!
