Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Saturday

Saturday continues with a quartet of matches, featuring Arsenal and an array of budget and mid-price Fantasy talent.

The Gunners trip to a resolute Aston Villa will likely be the headline act on show: Arsene Wenger’s men will look to recover from the midweek Champions League defeat to Dortmund against Paul Lambert’s resurgent midlands outfit. Alongside that, we’ve an enthralling encounter at the Liberty Stadium as Swansea and Southampton prepare to press and weave patterns around the South Wales pitch.

Elsewhere, Alan Pardew will look to extend his stay of execution at Newcastle via a winnable home clash with Hull City, while Burnley go in search of their first three points back in the top flight as Gus Poyet’s erratic Sunderland unit pull up to Turf Moor.

We may well be discussing some very meagre Fantasy points tallies by 4.50, as we prepare to make our way to East London to check in on West Ham’s progress, as they host Brendan Rodgers’ title pretenders, Liverpool.

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

    Anyone know why Alexis isn't playing? Dropped/injured/rested?

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

      Injured in pregame. He was on the teamsheet to start but it got changed

      1. Alan The Llama
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        It was the wrong teamsheet

    2. Alan The Llama
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Rested

      1. Balotellitubbies

        Ah thanks. Hate having an expensive player miss out 🙁

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

      Rested I think.

    I just know if I sell Tadic this week he'll score vs QPR 😆

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

      If you sell Tadic before QPR at home you're asking for trouble.

    2. rickardinho
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I've already been f-ed by that with Davis and Caulker so far this season. I'm getting rid of Krul next so you better get him in as he'll have a run of CS's coming up!

  3. Les Bleus
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    QPR's first goal given to Caulker? I thought it was a Crouch OG?

    1. Christina.
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      It was an Adam OG. Crouch assist.

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

        It got changed to OG?

        1. Christina.
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          See below. I don't have enough beer...

      2. MJ6987
        • 13 Years

        BBC has it as a Caulker goal

      3. Pepin - RIP Absinthe
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Really? Caulker goal to be taken away?

      4. The Machine
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        So many people falling for this. Adams wasn't even involved

    2. RoysCallerAnne

      • 14 Years

      There are 27 pages earlier discussing it. Grab yourself a beer and read through them 😉

      1. Les Bleus
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        I'll pass 😉

        You think FPL will change it?

    3. Pork Pie Sausage Roll
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Apparently it was on target so caulker goal.

      I've not seen it though

  4. Snikii

    Alexis(C) and Pelle instead of Ozil and Welbz.. poor week

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

    Who knew Nathan Baker was such an important player? 😉

    1. Reedy
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Yeah, lol@ Vlaar getting all the credit 😉

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

        Didn't need that clown last week. 😉

    WELBECK OWNERS! Hands in the air, wave em around like you just don't care

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Get in Welbz!

    2. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I'm still content owning Pelle ahead of him.

    3. chrisjdgrady
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Not yet but I told people he was ready to score this week!

      *Raises both hands*

    1. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Classy.

      1. Nabs Kebabs
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        this game is about banter, mate 😀

        1. RoysCallerAnne
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          fair enough, congrats 🙂

    2. The Finnisher

      Like Nomar's comment 🙂

      1. Nabs Kebabs
        • 12 Years

        😀

      2. Alan The Llama
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Deserves plus one.

    3. Les Bleus
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      😯

    4. RyanC
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I've captained Mirallas. Hope your VC brings him some luck.

    5. Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Give em the right one too

  7. The Finnisher
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Would love a Siggy blank as I am playing Forster.

    At this stage everyone (just about) has him, and another blank will lead to some sales and make him someone we can actually cheer on again 🙂

    1. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Would love a Siggy blank too. (Don't own him).

      1. The Finnisher
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        you can piss off 😉

        1. RoysCallerAnne
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          😀

  8. Clam. ☘️
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Caulker to rise or Incredibly optimistic?

    1. Pork Pie Sausage Roll
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      No way

    2. nevertrustbony
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      He'll probably fall

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

      Might just stem the tide of sales dragging him to 4.8

  9. RyanC
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Pellè owners:

    There's forty five minutes left.

  10. Crouching Tiger
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    If you had Bony as captain and he ended -2, it would be funny if that was doubled to -4 😛

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

      It's funny until it happens to you. 🙂

    2. 4vets
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Hilarious.

    3. Kvelertak
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      It is doubled?

      1. caio89
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Of course, if he is your captain. Happened to me with Gervinho once against Newcastle.

  11. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Pelle or Welbeck next week?

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

      Dat guy.

    2. Lawrø
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Welbeck for me.

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Even Pelle is against QPR? Welbeck can wait until GW 8 no?

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

          If you've got Pelle you might as well just stick.

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

      It's only the Spuds, Welbeck easy! 😉

    4. Barrier Freeman
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Pellebeck.

    5. Waldaz
      • 14 Years

      Whoever scores more points today.

    6. RyanC
      • 9 Years

  12. ktk_interista

    why is alderwereld not playing?

    1. Del Griffith
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      hammy gone

    2. Not Irish
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I would like to know as well. Only thing that's gone wrong for me so far, although I did bench him so no big deal this week.

    3. ktk_interista
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Was that announced? I didn't know. He is on my bench too so no big deal this week. Is there a good chance he makes the QPR match?

  13. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Keep it tight Naylor. Siggy score. Ruin that CS for Clyne who is on the bench 😛 Nice wishlist Daniel

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Yeah almost forgot. Ramsey score in the second half. You are huge differential for me, especially in my mini leagues

    2. Les Bleus
      • 12 Years

  14. Royal5
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Ramsey need to hurry to get on the points. Can't see him get more than 60mins in this one.

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

      He's a little out of form from the looks of it.

      1. Royal5
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Ditching if he blanks I think.

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

    2. Wilshere Knowledge

    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    ML rivals have doubled up on Southampton's defense while I benched Clyne for Caulker.

    A Siggy goal here would make my weekend.
