The Dugout Discussion – Saturday

4,272 Comments
Share

Despite the lack of an early kick-off, Saturday still delivers six Premier League encounters, with five three o’clock clashes followed by Norwich City’s home meet with West Ham this evening. While that match is lacking assets to interest Fantasy managers, this afternoon’s games seem laden with points, particularly at Anfield where Liverpool face lowly Fulham with armbands clasped firmly around the biceps of Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge.

With Chelsea facing West Brom at the Bridge, the Southampton rearguard up against Hull at St Mary’s and Romelu Lukaku locking horns with the Palace defence, Fantasy managers should be looking at a steady flow of returns from today’s events to take them into Sunday’s big fixtures.

Our Twitter stream is carrying all the latest team news prior to kick-off, while the Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open to furnish those who like some real-time reaction.

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

    I swapped JWP for Barkley

    At which point JWP began starting again, and Barkley got benched

    Maybe I'll swap them back and see if it works on reverse

    Went Aguero (C) over Suarez and Mignolet over Boruc. Seemingly the opposite of popular opinion. Cmoooon!
