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 was tempted to captain him this week, then I came to my senses 😉

        TBH, if VDV was'nt an injury concern, I may have been tempted to go with him this week. Saying that, if VDV plays, who knows what he might score.

    Ok I was laughed out of here for suggesting Morison as a downgrading striker, yet he now has 3 in 3.

    Also, if I want to downgrade am wondering am I better to take out Aguero rather than Hernandez for Bendy/AN Other? I have Silva and thus have City attacking coverage, and it allows me to upgrade Hernandez to Rooney.

    tbh is doesn't matter how many points Van gets, although only 20 odd % of people have him, everyone above me will, and i'm guess 95% have him as captain. I need Ramsey to do the biz

    AB, you said Ramsey looks knackered? He really has been a complete waste for me since he has come in, and I took him out for Arteta, who started scoring and assisting the day I took him out. Ramsey out for me this week unless he bucks up this half.

      Exact sme for me, I have the cash to upgrade to lamps, I didn't do it this week due to the 4p hit and the fixtures ramsey has. Can't belive his value has gone up since we bought him. He's done nothing
