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.

    There is a chance to be own goal. Other wise is Barton assist?

    1. Billy Gilmore
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Barton went off ages ago. Mutch assist

        Adam kicks it it. No deflection. Clear OG

          • 12 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          • 13 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Incorrect i'm afraid. Doesn't matter if Adam kicks it in, still a Caulker goal as it was on target anyway

      3. Jax

    It's a caulker goal because the header was on target. Hahaha unlucky people that don't have him.

    1. AIRMILES
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I agree, it looked on target to me.

    6. Sebbo29
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Caulker was awarded the goal

    7. AlCapwnUK
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      goal. it was going in before it took a deflection

      1. Denis Tueart on the wing
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        no deflection for me. he swung a leg and it was an intentional deviation of the balls trajectory. Don't start counting your points yet !!!!

    Arghh..that feeling when u have Ferdinand 🙁

      He was never a good pick 😀

    I have Krul on bench and Begovic playing... I really hope Newcastle won't keep a CS now 😀

    I also hope that Caulker gets those goal points, I need them desperately!

    1. @BigChrisso

      Hull will spank Newcastle and end Pardew's career at St James' Park

  21. SneakyPete
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    I wouldn't call it against the run of play. QPR had so many set pieces it was coming, their prime source of attack so far

  22. Bobby
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    One more goal caulker. One more.

  23. FPL Daniel

    Someone commented poor Caulker owners. What did he know? Amateur

    4 people in my ML have Caulker

    3 benched him

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      They will all have one no show. 😉

    2. Ginkapo FPL
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Bet your wishing you had started me now. 😀

    3. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      3 will get him on when someone else doesn't play.

      Or is that just the jammy fu**ers in my league?

      1. HamezMace
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        We must be in the same ML mate, 3 people had Moore come off the bench last week

  25. Somalion

    9 years, 9 months ago

    Angry I brought in a Stoke defender. All that shit about how they only concede a couple of chances etc. fact is, they still concede. Should have known better.

    1. Carrick Doesn't Deserv…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      missing huth maybe

    2. AlCapwnUK
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      i have ShawX on the bench...he's far too expensive to be benched against QPR, looks like he's got to go

  26. Ser Football 42
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    The one week I don't have caulker. Now I need Ivan to score I make up for it

  27. Captain Peacock
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    QPR are playing at League One level. A bit better towards the end there but it's just amateur hour in defence and they look unimaginative and careless in attack. They're lucky to have not conceded 4 at this point.

    How predictable, I had Caulker GW 1-4, sold him this week, and he goes and scores. Great start to the week, not!

      Good for NZ. We're the home of the Caulker brigade 🙂
