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.

    Did nobody look at Newcastle's home record against Hull before playing Krul?

    Or their recent Premier League form?

      You are right, should have played Foster away at Spurs.

      My other keeper's Guzan 😆

      People with krul / Eliot don't have much choice

    4. Billy Gilmore
      • 12 Years

      My other option was Foster.

        Hey, I played Curtis Davies over Colocinni this week!

    6. Egg noodle
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      You know that we have just 2 goalkeepers to pick from, so he just had the better fixture of the two? Or were you expecting us to transfer Krul out seeing that he was home to Hull?...

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

      my other option is Foster - surely not??

    8. theloveburglar
      • 11 Years

      People like to be upset about things. Personally I'm quite devastated that Begovic didn't score today 🙁

        I think Kranjcar is also on 29 bps in the QPR game

      2. Billy Gilmore
        • 12 Years

        Kranjcar's on 2 as well as Caulker. Diouf on 0

    Jelly looks good value, but with those fixtures

    1. mouldy_uk

      *not with those fixtures

  7. Pepin - RIP Absinthe

    Wasn't there somewhere in the members area where you can see live stats from the matches?

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

    Clyne really needs to get his bum up the pitch on the overlap more. Having Shane Long crossing the ball isn't ideal, he should be in the box poaching instead.

      Sorry everyone, just thought about 8 Naylor points so now Swansea will concede.

    Yoshida off? Why?

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

      He was booked and they don't want to lose their man advantage

    2. Ross Geller
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Isn't Fonte who went off?

    3. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      He gets bullied. Very slight.

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

        Bony certainly bullied him 😆

          Yep. Rebounded.

    4. Jairzinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Because he's yellow.

    Every time I add up points, adding CSs, BAPS etc I always lose them.

  13. AlCapwnUK

    Jelavic 3 from 5. Should have stuck to my guns and got him in at the start.
    Hull's fixtures about to go way downhill though

  14. Back on the horse
    • 13 Years

    Welbz or Lukaku for the rest of the season ?

  15. Pedram

    How Siggy is playing ?

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

      Was playing well, could have easily had a goal and 2 assists.

      Now struggling with 10 men, up top on his own.

          I have Tadic. Southampton biggest threat is from Clyne or Berthrand. Tadic is playing the pass before that movement
