The Dugout Discussion – Tuesday

There’s just one match on this evening’s agenda to concern Fantasy managers. Arsenal’s rescheduled home clash with West Ham gets underway at 7.45pm, with the Gunners desperate to get their bid for a fourth-placed finish back on track:

Arsene Wenger’s side will be buoyed by the weekend FA Cup Semi-Final win over Wigan, and with games against Hull, Newcastle, West Brom and Norwich still to follow, their chief Fantasy assets have the perfect platform to make a bid for our consideration.

Meanwhile, the Hammers have survival on their agenda. Sam Allardyce’s side roll up to the Emirates knowing that a win would take them to the 40-point mark and leave them 10 points clear of the drop zone with only four matches remaining.

We’ll bring you the teamsheet news from tonight’s game in north London via our Twitter feed, while our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open for those looking for some real-time reactions.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Spurs and Arsenal have good last four fixtures. Two attacking teams, with plenty to play for.
    I'm looking to get in Ramsey + Adebayor, or Giroud + Eriksen.
    Then stand back and watch the points roll in.

          Sunderland are doomed. I would not get Mannone, despite his DGW.
          Get Hart or De Geaor Cech and play them every week.

            any other cheaper GK's you would suggest though?

            because if I get an expensive gk that means I can have one less expensive defender who is more likely to get baps and possibly even score/assist.
