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.

    • 11 Years

    In my opinion Gerrard should have had 3 assists!!!

    What's the fookin deal? I was gonna captain Gerrard, but instead captained Suarez. So far that decision is paying off.

  8. MJ6987
    • 13 Years

    1. The Finnisher

  24. TorresMagic™

    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 15 Years

    • 10 Years
    10 years, 7 months ago

    Does anyone have a definitive answer to who actually got the assist, Suarez or Gerrard??

    1. Nice to Finally Michu
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Suarez was given it on FPL

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

        Oh right so you've never seen FPL give something and then change it?! Constant smartarse replies from you it seems.
