Dugout Discussion

Saturday Dugout Discussion

As the dust settles on Papiss Cisse’s stunning contribution last night, Fantasy managers must prepare for seven more Premier League games as the Gameweek progresses in earnest. Our Dugout Discussion Chatroom is now fully fuelled and running its engines in time for day’s opener at the Stadium of Light.

Spurs make the journey to the North East, having witnessed Newcastle’s clinical disposal of Swansea in last night’s victory at the Liberty. The ball is very much in Harry Redknapp’s court as he attempts to keep Alan Pardew’s men at arms length, whilst fending off Arsene Wenger’s Gunners who take on City tomorrow. The teams line-up as follows…

Sunderland XI: Mignolet, Bardsley, Colback, Kilgallon, Turner, Larsson, McClean, Cattermole, Gardner, Sessegnon, Bendtner.

Tottenham XI: Friedel; Walker, Kaboul, Gallas, Assou-Ekotto; Parker, Sandro; Van Der Vaart, Modric, Bale; Adebayor

We’ll then roll through five three o’clock kick-offs, Chelsea vs Wigan and Bolton vs Fulham to name but a couple, before Stoke and Wolves come clattering together in today’s evening fixture and rounding out our Saturday affairs.

Join the your Fantasy Football peers for a chat via this link.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

          He said he was on 41 with Evra, Huth and RVP to go.
          I said you may as well say 53 with RVP to go
          Now I said 49 with RVP to go thanks to Huth conceding.

      I totally understand your thinking but my temptation is to hang on still, as you say it kind of makes it easier he is home to Norwich next and then delay the decision

      VDV seems more like scoring at the moment

      1) No
      2) Either:

      a) Probably because there is a few games coming up close together and his knee can't hack them all
      b) He's looked decidedly un-King like and shaky at the moment, if I was Harry I'd go with Kaboul and Gallas for the rest of the season now whenever I could, #1 for consistency and to have a regular pairing for a change but #2 it just looks like the best option

      Fulham have nothing to play for until the end of the season. Arsenal are fighting for a Champions league place. That was the deal breaker for me, and why i'll be doing Dempsey > Walcott. At least for the next two weeks...

    I am grabbing one of Tottenham defenderes before Monday's GW start. But there's future issue which one it will be:

    A. Kaboul. Then in DGW36 I'll have probably Bale+Dempsey
    B. Gallas. Then I can afford for Gerrard+Bale

    what to do ? Is Gallas risk to be rotated is so high, that I should give up Gerrard+Bale pair for DGW36 ?
