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.

        depends on Chambers

        the chance of a goal v Pool is not enough to make me keep him

    I can understand that deflections usually aren't OG's, but when the direction of the ball is changed almost 180 degrees from the header then surely that is more than a deflection...

          But if crouch had not been there at all, the ball WOULD have gone in. Either way, I'm not disagreeing that applying a "common sense" filter to such situations would render it an OG, I'm just commenting that, as the rules stand, I wouldn't feel aggrieved by the award of a goal.
