Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – QPR vs Stoke

European football ravages Saturday’s programme, leaving us with just half a dozen encounters. The day’s events start with what, on paper, looks a tepid affair: Stoke pay visit to Loftus Road to meet with Harry Redknapp’s newly promoted QPR.

Let’s not dress this up – Fantasy managers are likely to have little or no interest in this one. Having been disappointed by the impact of Bojan after his pre-season hype, we’ve steered clear of Mark Hughes’ Potters, bar skipper Ryan Shawcross who has a place in almost 15% of Fantasy Premier League lineups. As for the R’s, only defender Steven Caulker can boast respectable ownership – indicating that a classic 0-0 stalemate will be the result of choice for many.

The early kick-off takes us into four afternoon clashes, before the day is rounded off with Liverpool’s trip to Upton Park at tea-time. As always, you can look to our Twitter feed for lineup news on that one and all today’s matches.

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

    Looking to change a few things over the next 2 weeks....

    I have Stirling + Ivanovic + Welbeck and thinking to change them for..

    Schneiderlin + Williams + Aguero

    Do you think it worth doing - trying to get Aguero to add to Costa & Balotelli which imo would make a fantastic forward line-up.

    Any comments welcome good or bad, thanks in advance....KENJM

    Krul Bego GK combo has been absolutely awful for me! Haven't got a single CS out of them. Kind of wish I went with a single keeper like I usually do.

    I'll be so pissed if Newcastle keep a CS against Hull!

    Krul (Gilks)

    Clyne, PVA, Caulker (Coloccini, Taylor)

    Fabragas, Siggy, Sterling, Ramsey (Albrighton)

    Adebeyor, Diego Costa, Aguero

    It's good that Crouch scored, to make up for the own goal.

    Rio Ferdinand needs to retire, preferably right now
