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.

    If Wilshire was playing would Arsenal be doing much better do you think?

      It depends, would he have broken Song and Koscielnys legs before they scored their OG's?

    Brunt's on the bench again? I hope he doesn't come on. I think Swansea will finally score a couple this week and I have Vorm in goal and Dyer as first sub.

      I've got Holt starting but I was expecting 2 points so getting 1, in the end, isn't much of a difference.

      One more week then he's gone.

          Yeah, last week for Tim in my side (injuries permitting).

          Looking at doing Cahill, Baines & N'Zogbia out this week, Holt out the one after that.

    Despite 2 of the goals being own goals I think this is a fair result if it stands (which it probably won't). Kean deserves this as well.
