Wednesday’s Dugout Discussion

2 February 2011 2115 comments

Six more Premier League matches, six more opportunities to add to our Gameweek totals – sadly, after last night’s heavyweight bouts, the Fantasy talent on show looks somewhat limited.

Carlos Tevez will carry the hopes of some as City take on Birmingham at St Andrews, Dutch maestro Rafael Van der Vaart will do his bit for Spurs at Blackburn. Elsewhere, the ever-popular wantaway Charlie Adam will be spraying passes around and over the accommodating West Ham defence and Clint Dempsey will be shooting on sight with Newcastle dropping by the Cottage.
Aside from that, we will all be hoping to find clean sheets. There might just be more chance of finding Germaine Greer on Andy Gray’s Facebook friend list.

Follow the fortunes of all these players and Johan Elmander’s latest attempt at prising the wheel clamp from his bandwagon, in tonight’s Dugout Discussion chatroom. The doors are open. Granville’s doing the teas.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      Dempsey was hopeless. I have him, missed so many chances, didn't help that they were all on his left foot. Dembele deserved three, and Murphy and Sidwell the other two IMO.

      the argumeet against duff appears to be he missed a chance, completely ignoring his winning goal, dangerous dribbles and crosses etc. dembele was murphy, duff then schwarzer were all ahead of dempsey i thought.

        arsenal Tottenham will have to have their game rearranged from 26th Feb(GW28). Now Arsenal have these fixtures:

        * 12th Feb – Wolves (GW27)
        * 16th Feb – Barcelona
        * 19th Feb – FA Cup 5th Round
        * 22nd Feb – Stoke (GW27)
        * 27th Feb – Carling cup Final
        * 1st March/2nd March – No Fixture Planned
        * 5th March – Sunderland (GW29)
        * 8th March – Barcelona
        * 12th March – FA Cup 6th Round

        So as you can see there is a spare slot on 1st March/2nd March for a fixture. Now if Arsenal or Tottenham get to the 5th round and draw their game this would mean this Date would be for the replay so Arsenal Vs Tottenham will not happen in GW28. If they don’t have to face a replay the game could happen. I must stress this is not definite. It as something that could happen as Chelsea Vs Manchester United is on March 1st so they could easily put Arsenal Vs Tottenham there.

        I hope this has helped.

    All my 4 players got BPs yesterday, none of the 7 others tonight, odd... 73 though, should be a nice green arrow, happy with that 🙂

    Trying to get my head round GW 28.

    OK...teams missing out are -

    Chelsea
    Utd
    Spurs
    Arsenal
    Birmingham

    Can anything happen cup tie wise etc. to reinstate a fixture for any of these teams in GW28?

      United still have Wigan away, just not a DGW.

      United play Wigan that week for sure whatever happens

      If Chelsea lose to everton they will play united that week, and thus give united a double.

      Birmingham wont play.

      Still a chance Arsenal will play spurs if the beat Leyton orient and then get the midweek slot filled with that fixture.

    It's so funny to see the aftermath on this site though.

    The bonus points anticipation is like a UN food aid truck turning up, everyone dashes to the front trampling on starving children and women, only to find out the truck is empty. 🙂

      It would be a very boring game if the bonus points were predictable...

      It's alot more fun this way 🙂

        Very unpredictable bps, but they might be spot on. Look forward to seeing OPTA stats, they might be up now.

    81 point, WC not played yet..!! Looks good.

    I am making 1 transfer for next gw. Tevez (c) WBA in. Should I ditch Rooney wol or Van Persie new? (Just for this one round as I will play my wildcard after gw 26.)

      tough one really, but based on what rooney showed in the last away game at bloomfield, and RvPs sharpness, i would keep rvp just
