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.

    I don't have any cash to buy Papisse Cisse. Do you think it's worth taking a 4 point hit just to bring him in? I'm selling Dempsey off and getting Sessegnon just to free off some cash to buy Cisse. He's got Newcastle vs Bolton up next so it's hard to ignore.

          Chelsea conceding away at Fulham is likely imo.

          As is Dempsey being the scorer if he starts up front.

              Not all - this is exactly why top 20k can't be considered as good.

              What I'm trying to say is that just making the most obvious and generic picks is sufficient to get you to top 20k at the end of the year, so that's like minimum expectation if you're playing it seriously.

    6 from 3 so far. Krul on the bench with 8. What a fail start to the gameweek. At least Milan are winning 1-0 at HT after scoring a Barcelona-esque goal.
