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.

Not too concerned by my awful start from 5 players. Rooney captain still to play, so a good week is still due 🙂

The only teams who have any chance of keeping a clean sheet today are the promoted sides. Everyone pretty much in the same company then.

  Vorm in the scout picks, but we've unilaterally benched him for Given today. Rebels.

    Hmmm, he wont be on them so.
    
    Im in the market for a low price 5.5 - 6.5 replacement for Walcott.
    
    Ramsey, Barton, SWP to fund Suarez back in.
