Morning has been and gone and the minds eye of Fantasy Managers quickly changes from “What do I do?” to “How have I done?” as the Dugout Discussion settles in for a full day of footballing action…

Saturday and Sunday’s fixtures split evenly with 5-a-piece so we should have precisely half of the excitement in store. A closer looks makes it seem like our upcoming schedule got the hard end of the bargain as most of the “glamour ties” are saved for tomorrow. Nonetheless, today’s action kicks off with Wolves playing host to Swansea.

Once we ride out the Midlanders (five defeats in a row) versus the Welsh (four defeats in four away games with 12 goals conceded) we’ll take in a trio of three o’clock fixtures as Aston Villa, Bolton and Newcastle play host to West Brom, Sunderland and Wigan respectively.

Liverpool get the spotlight and sunset of the day as they welcome Paul Lambert’s Norwich to Anfield. All eyes will be on a certain Luis Suarez – more than a few captain’s armbands will be reliant on this “enigmatic”Uruguayan. If you fancy an added game, why not play “spot the Scout” as myself and Big Dunc take in the occasion in person. He’ll be the guy in the Liverpool stand trying not to cheer if Norwich take the lead.

The Dugout Discussion, as per usual, will keep chugging along through every kick of the ball.

      I don't, all I wanted was for him to hit the target from the penalty = 5 points (Given save or Brunt goal). Instead = -2

      I'll forgive him if he scores in the second half.

    I have a situation Qns:
    What if a player crosses into the box and then it goes to a defender , the defender then passes to his teammate who mis passes it to his opponent and the opponent scores, all this happening inside 18 yds-- is the assist given to the player who crossed the ball initially??

      No because the defender is in possession as he passes it.

      In Rooney vs Arsenal case, he crossed it, Traore heads it straight to Young who scores. However if it's not clear-cut then i doubt FPL would give it after that debacle.
