We’ve got a mammoth eight games today to get us back into the swing of Premier League action today. We start the Dugout Discussion over in Norfolk as Paul Lambert and his band of merry men welcome Arsenal to Carrow Road…

Norwich make a couple of changes to the side that list at Villa Park before the international break with Andrew Crofts and David Fox coming in for Elliott Bennett and Grant Holt. Arsene Wenger, meanwhile, starts Laurent Koscielny at right-back with the rest of his side pretty much picking itself. Teams in full are…

Norwich XI:Ruddy; Naughton, Martin, Barnett, Tierney; Johnson, Crofts, Pilkington, Hoolahan (C), Fox; Morison.

Arsenal XI: Szczesny; Koscielny, Vermaelen, Mertesacker, Andre Santos; Song, Ramsey, Arteta; Walcott, Gervinho, Van Persie.

Then we’ll be with good old Jeff Stelling and Merse -or Gabby Logan and Garth Crooks for those less fortunate- to take in a big bite of Gameweek 12 action with 6 three o’clock kick offs to keep our eyes on.

Man City (who will lead the line this time?) hosting Newcastle, Sunderland (the travails of one Nicklas Bendtner) welcoming Fulham and Everton (all eyes on the Drenthe bandwagon) vying with Wolves are the pick of the bunch for most Fantasy Managers out there.

Swansea’s imperious home record will face it’s sternest test yet in the evening kick-off as Manchester United pay visit and close out our bumper Saturday of Dugout Discussion action.

    Anyone else who has Rooney thinking of taking him out? I know as soon as I do he will start scoring for fun again.

      One clean sheet brought about by very negative ugly football and a third successive 1-0 win and that makes up for all the hilarious mistakes? I think not. Still a pathetic excuse for a goalkeeper and a laughable waste of 20 mill. Even Torres made him look an amateur and he's supposed to be bad isn't he?:roll:

      Yep. Same with Nani, really. I want to get rid, then look at the fixtures and can't bring myself to actually make the transfers.

    Rooney had a cracking game, imho. It is true it's ghastly for FPL - but, what the Hell, what goes around, comes around!

    I totally despair with United midfeild options.

    I was brought up with a United team who had an embitterment of riches in the midfeild dept. But Fergie really needs to sort out the the center of the park. A lot of teams are looking at our midfeild and think they can have a go and are dominating us.

    Cleverley has great potential but we are desperate for a box to box midfeilder.

    Carrick, Park, Fletcher, Anderson.....are all very average at best. I can't believe Carrick has been there as long as he has, I have never rated him. He's stuck with Anderson for longer than he should, he simply is not delivering and doesn't look like he ever will. Park and Fletcher are good players on their day but bringing energy to game is not enough.

    The engine room is what makes or breaks a team. I said last year that winning the league and getting to the champions league final stands as one of Fergies greatest achievements given the squad he had.

    Our early season form work only masked over a weaknesses that has been hanging over us for a number of year, we really need to sort it out or we're going to seriously fall behind.

      Name me one midfielder worth buying though? Robbo's and Roy Keanes only come along once a decade. I cannot honestly name you who Utd should go for to plug the gap? Essien was the last decent target I would have been happy with and Kenyon done his worst there the snake!
