Saturday Dugout Discussion

The Fantasy Games have updated and another weekend of disappointment begins now.

Missed penalties, red cards, disallowed goals and all sorts of contentious decisions – they’re all coming the way of the intrepid misbegotten Fantasy Manager. To help everyone through this hardship we’ve opened up our Saturday edition of the Dugout Discussion so like minded souls can wallow together. At least until someone turns up at five o’clock and casually mentions how they’ve got a “measly” 100 point haul.

We begin with Arsenal at Blackburn. Most notably Yakubu starts for Rovers while Theo Walcott sits out for the Gunners. Line-ups in full are…

Blackburn XI: Robinson;, Salgado, Dann, Samba, Givet; Hoilett, Nzonzi, Lowe, Rochina, Formica; Yakubu

Arsenal XI: Szczesny; Sagna, Koscielny, Mertesacker, Santos Song, Arteta, Ramsey; Gervinho, Arshavin, Van Persie

After the dust has settled on that tie we’ll have five more match-ups at three o’clock including Leighton Baines at home against Wigan, Swansea still awaiting their first ever Premier League goal and Kevin Davies and Grant Holt duking out a battle of the gargantuan strikers.

Plenty to keep you busy on a Saturday afternoon and the Dugout Discussion will be here for it all.

    I now need either goal or assist from ward, Swansea to keep WBA at bay, and Brunt to stay where he sits.

    Possible?

    I make the worst decisions ever. Last week captained Dzeko and vice captained Dempsey when I had Rooney. This week I change Sinclair for Benayoun at the last minute reasoning he was in a better team and would get more chances. I have wright phillips first sub which saves me a bit. I also made Klasnic captain. Not a very happy person right now 🙁

    Just seen the 2nd QPR goal again. As thought, Barton (in the box) clips it in, Elokobi heads it up, Steerman heads it to the edge of the box, Faurlin volleys it home. Barton assist to be added at the end of the GW.

      But you just confirmed yourself that Barton did not assist the goal! No assist will be given for that. Goal only

        What have they started? I doubt they were swamped with e-mails asking for a Rooney assist, was needlessly given and is causing all this agro.

        New rules TTLSP this season. It's a carbon copy of Rooney's 'assist' for Young's goal as applebonkerz mentioned above.

    Should improve vorm clean sheet and hopefully jarvis and ward do well second half.

    Lets hope things improve.

        i don't think it'll be a particularly high scoring day despite all the goals (most goal scores have low ownership)

        I have 5 big guns playing tomorrow so not too worried

        dyer goal was nice too 🙂

    Im a WBA goal away from a completely dreadful week. No Walcott no Eagles, Baines and ward clean sheets gone, brought in Taatabt and Dyer instead of swp and Sinclair.

    All that's saving me is I doubled up on vorm and n. Dyer.
