Saturday Dugout Discussion

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.

          I don't have Diego though. But yeah, I generally try to avoid picking players I have in FPL. Hedging my bets and all that jazz...

          Apart from Torres. I just can't resist him.

      I preferred fantasy football after Nani and Malouda lost form. It was more about punts for while as opposed to everyone captaining the some player. I rather foresight over captaining the norm but i'm so far behind i have to captain what we consider "reliable".

        This season has seen two captaincy bandwagons, Rooney and RVP, but in between we've had some very uncertain weeks. Talk of Silva, VDV, Walters, Young, Nani, Adam as captaincy options back then. Quite exciting times.

          Fair play, well, I've seen a lot of very high (top 1000) players stumbling around this season too. Walters has been a reliable prospect for a good few GWs now. See how he does when CL football ends and he has to mull over bringing in top players.

    Bloody man City rotation policy doing my head in. Silva not starting, hopefully he comes on and scores a goal. Also Dzeko on the bench, but I went for Bendtner instead. On the plus side Walters and Van Persie scored. Now all I need is VDV to start and score good points on monday
