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.

        And a couple of direct free kicks. Bothroyd took one left-footed, too. Taarabt is so gredey that he'll commandeer most DFKs, I would have thought, and certainly pens.

            And I watched the Newcastle-QPR game, he was at the heart of everything QPR did, set SWP free for most of his good runs and crosses.

    Villa lucky to be ahead, Newcastle dominating the possession and been much the better team although they haven't created many decent chances.

    Hutton and Collins the two best from Villa, Gutierrez only got past Hutton once all half, while Collins is cutting out everything coming into the Villa box. Bent and Delph anonymous, N'zogbia and Agbonlahor poor.

    Taylor been the most creative for Newcastle, although a lot of his crosses have been cleared by Collins so his chances of bonus look slim. Obertan getting a lot of joy against Warnock. Would like to see them switch to 4-2-2-2 in the second half, keep Obertan and Jonas wide and let Cabaye pick the passes and dictate the game. he's been a little isolated although showing signs of class.
