Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Saturday

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.

    from the guardian:

    "Adam Lallana is playing like a man possessed this afternoon"

    Unbelievable how many easy goals CHE get because of defence mistakes..

    1. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Or maybe they force mistakes.

    2. Back to Back Ballacks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Every goal that is scored is due to a mistake

    1. Kno
      • 13 Years

      meh, your choice. Blaming others for your decision is just weak

      1. DRIZ ✅
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

      1. The Finnisher
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

          • 15 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          Didn't see it. Assist and goal would stand if on target though.

    2. Chris_White
      • 12 Years

  13. PGR
    • 12 Years

    1. Heels_Over_Head
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      dunno, but now would be a good time to watch their game as they started 15 min late

  18. Winter_is_coming
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    Ridgewell doesn`t touch the ball, exactly

  19. Yank Revolution
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Luvley - 30 pts at halftime...my faith in Lallana has been rewarded!

  20. Yome
    • 12 Years

    Lallana has one assist and a goal???

    1. PGR
      • 12 Years

    2. Rafabio
      • 11 Years

      Yeah

  21. Locarno
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    6 players. 6 points. I give up - Suarez is moidering me.

  22. Lawrø
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Suarez to get subbed off early in preparation for the important Uruguay game?

    1. Pinatta
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      yes, 60 min

    2. The Gambler.
      • 14 Years

      Half time? 🙂

    3. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Can G.Johnson get subbed off on 61 minutes before Liverpool concede on 63 minutes again

    4. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      88th minute.

  23. The Gambler.
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Anyone see Lfc first goal?

    Did Suarez definitely get a touch?

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      I'm not sure. I kind of hope he didn't. I'd take 3pts from Gerrard over 6pts from Suarez 😀

    2. Jimbo123
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      I thought he did

    3. SamH123
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      people are saying no touch for Suarez

    4. MesQueUnClub
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      He acted like he did so prob did...

  24. Locarno
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    And Leeds score. Wonderful.

    Going outside to see if I can be hit by lightning.

    1. Crouch Potato!

      Just put your finger in a plug socket! 😉

      With my luck I should manage it by staying indoors.

  25. Chris_White
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Should have started Collins over Barkley 🙁

  26. Acquafresca
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Can people stop being smug about the players they own?

    Thanks.

    1. Chris_White
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      It's never gonna stop, although one would hope so...

    2. The Finnisher
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      I don't care about that, it's the ones that are so smug about players they don't own. Especially 45 minutes into a game.

    3. The Gambler.
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Its worse on totalfpl chat.

      All you would be getting right now is

      LOL @ Sturridge captainers

      You need to not be here on Sat afternoons then. Part of the course I'm afraid.

    Next time Fulham decide to park the Bus, tell them to get a double decker.

    1. Barry Woj
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Definitely. The bike currently lying on the floor certainly isn't doing the job.

  28. kimoo
    • 12 Years

    is barkley going to play sec half ?

    1. Jimbo123
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      What kind of a question is that?

      I'm not sure Martinez has time to log in to FFS to inform you of his plans for Barkley in the second half.

      1. kimoo
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        wtf i u don't like my post don't reply

  29. FORCA INTER
    • 12 Years

    Lukaku is pathetic , Jelavic should replace him and show him how to play football

    1. Crouch Potato!
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Jelavic is championship standard.

    2. Chrissy Waddle - 2023/24
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Replacing Jelavic with Lukaku is like replacing Kelly Brook with Dot Cotton.
