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.

    Anyone know what happened to Rodwell? He's not even on the bench.

      Back injury apparently. Must have been one of the "1 or 2" that Moyes was talking about.

        Yeah, no Phil Neville in the squad - played his cards very close to his chest.

          Wow, I had no idea Rodwell was an injury doubt. In comes Naylor off my bench.

          Pretty much wasted my first free double transfer of the season by swapping Ward for Wilkinson and Dyer for Rodwell.

      Klasnic upping the ante.

      Helguson brings it back.

        Klasnic is still only vaguely interesting...

        This really is a hodge-podge of misfits getting all the goals.

        Granny won't be happy at Helguson. Glad, for now, I went Brown over a Stoke defender. For now.

          Some potentially enormous FT scores from this lot.
