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.

    Did predict that Silva and Woodgate wouldn't start. Pretty annoyed about Kolarov though, thought he'd start today and then Clichy would play in Napoli on Tuesday. Will obviously be the other way round now.

    Dear Spanish FA,
    As a non-owner of your attacking-midfield-sex-god-super-chipmunk-Silva I have been getting a bit of a battering in the fantasy game lately.
    Therefore I would like to thank you for parading your national team around the world lately like the Harlem Globetrotters, Costa Rica for the midweek game was a textbook choice.
    Have you considered the moon? Plenty of revenue on offer there,

      I liked the AJ pick. Thought he'd have a chance. Did he make the bench? Always liable for points if he gets on.

      No Silva or Dzeko for me is not good. Not good at all. maybe they will make a run for being outside my top4 draftsmen?

      PS - How's watching the Van Persie show working out?

        I thought he'd start (obviously). Big time burn at this point in time...

        Heh, yeah - maybe you can have some of your draftworthy chums sneak into the top four (Downing!?) that'll open up your options for removal.

        RVP - yeah, not a good week all round, eh? Least it's not cup qualification. But I have to cheer him on still on the off chance VDV niggles his hammy between thurs/mon - only for it potentially burn come Monday at 8:22pm.
