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.

      You have to save a penalty to get save points.

    Is it ludicrous to play Hennesy at home against Wigan, Sunderland and Norwich

      Leave well alone. I've just returned from Molineux and after watching that defence in front of Hennessey in action I'd say tread carefully.

        But it would mean that I can switch to Given after the bad run for Villa. Not seing any other great option for rotating with Begovic

          Call me a fool, but I can get to wk23 with just three transfers in defence by doing this. Does involve getting triple Stoke in defence. They better not let me down

          McCarthy has barely changed the defence all season, so Berra looks OK.

          Back to Ginkapo. Perhaps if it's part of your masterplan to get Given in, then on paper you may get a cheeky clean sheet from one of those games, but you have to remember Wolves have been 2-0 down at half time in their last 3 games at Molineux, also 9 goals shipped in the last 4 home matches.

            I think wolves just need Fletcher to instill a bit of fear into the other team. But yeah it will just be hopeful of the lucky cleanie, its not worth taking a hit over

    West Brom have missed 6 of their last 10 penalties, seeing Brunt's pathetic effort earlier its easy to see why!

    Obertan is just weird looking and what's even weirder is that Ferguson signed him for United and weirder still another Premier League club paid millions for him after he failed at United.
