The Dugout Discussion – Saturday

Following a dramatic Stadium of Light clash, we can now look forward to five three o’clock kick-offs keep Saturday’s action moving, before Liverpool host Villa in the evening encounter.

Fantasy managers will be fixated on events at the Emirates and the Etihad as Arsenal and City face up to favourable opponents on home turf. The likes of David Silva, Yaya Toure and Alvaro Negredo will be well backed ahead of their meeting with Cardiff, while Mesut Ozil and Olivier Giroud will be amongst the names being watched keenly when Fulham draw up in North London.

Elsehwhere, many Fantasy managers will be hoping for Palace to reconstruct fortress Selhurst Park and earn a clean sheet against visiting Stoke. Meanwhile, Norwich host Hull City and West Ham look to continue their revival against Newcastle at the Boleyn Ground.

You can look to our Twitter feed for the teamsheet news, whilst the Dugout Discussion chatroom will remain available right up until the final whistle at Anfield this evening.

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

    Anyone doing worse than 16 from 7?

    It's all gone wrong for me today - choosing between Ki or Puncheon for my FT, chose Ki. Cue booking and general failure. Chester off injured. Clyne didn't play. Negredo, Lallana and Ozil all blanked.

    And of course, Cabaye, Yaya, Cazorla hoovered up all the Fantasy points. Bleurgh. I think I'll be troubling the sub-2 million scores today.

    A lot of people stressing/gloating about Suarez captain choices. Do they realise the match isn't over?

      Thing is, so many people captained Suarez, even if he blanks, it will most likely not affect your score.

    Schoolboy error from Rodgers with his team today. With Sturridge coming back and Sterling playing reasonably well he disrupted the midfield by dunting Lucas out. It's completely ruined the balance of the team and they've been dominated in midfield by Villa. You have to play to a system, not just play your best players.
