Sunday Dugout Discussion

The last day of the gameweek before another International Break dawns. We’ve got four games to get our last fantasy fix on as we open the Dugout Discussion. We start with Bolton playing host to Chelsea.

Bolton have made a whole host of changes from the side that which lost at Arsenal, including Adam Bogdan coming in as goalkeeper. Didier Drogba comes in for the suspended Fernando Torres and Daniel Sturridge is fit enough to face the side he helped so much in the spring of 2011. Team line-ups in full are…

Bolton XI: Bogdan; Steinsson, Boyata, Cahill, Robinson; Gardner, Pratley, Reo-Coker, Petrov; Ngog, K Davies

Chelsea XI: Cech; Bosingwa, Terry, Luiz, Cole; Ramires, Lampard, Meireles; Mata, Drogba, Sturridge

Before this tie finishes we’ll have two of the newly promoted sides facing off against two Europa League combatants as Swansea play host to Stoke and Fulham welcome QPR at three o’clock. All of this will be the pre-cursor to the main event as the big North London Derby kicks off with Spurs playing host to Arsenal. Odds of 33/1 on Emmanuel Adebayor replicating “that” celebration. He wouldn’t, would he?

We’ll be here through all of it, come what may.

    So let's talk more about this conspiracy

    GW1, the conspiracy begins, the FPL site crashes, people can't get their teams set up, the game was a mess so they offer us a free wildcard. However, i was happy with my team, in fact, if i kept my team from GW1, i would have at least 70 more points then i do now. But offering a free wildcard to a FF addict is like offering Tom Cleverley in La Senza to AP. I studied the fixtures, took Dzeko and Rooney out for Saha and a 'rejuvenated' Torres. What happens, Rooney scores 4 and Dzeko scores 5 in two GW's. Meanwhile, Torres and Saha get nothing.

    The conspiracy continues...

    Everything in the first few GW's was going down Utd's left, so i transferred Nani out for Young on my second wildcard. So what happens? Nani goes on a mental run with everything now going down Utd's right! I transfer Nani back in this GW, after four straight GW's of good scores, i hand him the big C only to see him return 6 points.

    The conspiracy was on fire this week...

    Also this GW, I took Nasri out for Silva becasue i didn’t think Nasri would start. 3pm, BANG! Nasri benched, victory! Oh wait, Aguero has to go and get injured, surely my striker Dzeko will come on? Of course he doesn’t, Nasri does and he goes and gets 1 goal, 2 assists and probably 3 bonus points. Dzeko comes on to get 1pt for a 3 minute cameo. I know what you're thinking, conspiracy!

    Lets add this to the fact my team has hit the woodwork 6 times so far.

    2 shots cleared off the line.

    I only have one goal from midfield.

    Captained RVP for matches against Swansea and Blackburn, surely he'll score right? Wrong.

    And don't get me started about how Simpson only keeps cleansheets on my bench.

    Massive, massive conspiracy going on here!
