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.

        Long has been poison. How many times has a cross landed into the keeper hands, it's brutal

    Paderborn now leading Bundesliga ahead of Bayern, Dortmund etc. - strange football world out there!

    1. Podge

      It's all fixed anyway 😉

    Mannoe, Clyne and Rangel on CS right now.. expecting 12 points to disappear in next 30 minutes.

      I'd be disappointed if we conceded to 10 Man Swansea now.

    Ramsey is not endearing himself to me. If ADM fires, I may switch.

    1. Pepin - RIP Absinthe
      • 13 Years

      +999

    2. JK - Cønt ⭐

      I'm looking at Cesc

      and a new team name

      1. Lucy.
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Already have him.

        1. Lucy.
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Also Gardos came on last game too 😉

          • 12 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          I don't but looking at

          Naismith and Ramsey to Kun and Cesc (-4)

          1. Lucy.
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 9 months ago

            Sounds good!

    3. RyanC

      Still think Ramsey is the better option of the two over the season. Need to see more of ADM to truly decide though.

    4. Reedy
      • 13 Years

      Swapping for Walcott is an idea too. Perhaps more of a wait and see with him coming back from a long injury spell.

    5. Esalman
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Same here..

    Perhaps caulker has bought himself one more week....

  6. The Machine

    soton will score no way am i getting 9 naylor points

    1. 50shades of o'shea
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      As long as clyne keeps a CS I will be happy

  7. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    My two defenders actually on for a CS are both getting 3 BAPS at the minute, Naylor and PVA. No doubt they lose them now.

  8. Dial Square
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Di Maria, Cesc or Hazard? Price no issue.

    1. super zlatan
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Maria

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

      Cesc

    3. theloveburglar
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      haz

  9. Tatty Bojangles
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    PvA and Naylor on for 3 BAPS.

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

      This would make me disproportionately happy

  10. Carrick Doesn't Deserv…

    is ozil playing central now as a result of wilshere or sanchez's omission?

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

      Wilshere.

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

      yes. would have played there even if sanchez started

    3. theloveburglar
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      as a result of wenger managing to finally remove his head from his arse hole

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

    Dyer off for Moreno, hadn't noticed.

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

      Montero, I mean.

    2. Billy Gilmore

      On 58 mins too 🙂

  12. halnone
    • 13 Years

    Colocinni and Krul have to go.

  13. Dr Dream
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Not sure what game some posters are watching. Ramsey has looked dangerous all afternoon, he could easily have had two or even three...He won't score every week.

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

      This.

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

      +1, season keeper for me, look at the Mata exodus

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

      he has had a few pot-shots yeah but his passing has been way below par

      1. Dr Dream
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Yeah..oddly his actual midfield play has been very average today. In terms of threat though he's been absolutely fine.

      Welcome to the land of the knee-jerk..

    5. Gimli son of Gloin
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Has he been playing well?
      Read a few comments on Twitter which said he's been sloppy at times and not looking overly sharp.

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

        Not his best but has had chances and some of them could have easily gone in imo

  14. mr messi

  15. 123thro

  23. The Machine

  24. Randy_Marsh

    Pelle is awful

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

      Missing chances?

    2. Gimli son of Gloin
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      He really isn't.

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

    Krul to Forster for free

    To obvious?

  26. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Krul has to go now

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

    Pelle has about 50 headers a game. He'll eventually score one...

  28. Lucy.
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Pardew is so so gone.

    1. Tatty Bojangles
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Doubt it, Ashley is stubborn as muck.

      So frustrating to have a team full of football players and for them to just watch the ball fly over their head from the defense to the forwards.

  29. Pompel
    • 10 Years

    Welbeck or Pelle for GW6 - difficult choice!

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

      Rule no. 675 of FPL: Always the player who has QPR.

  30. Piggs Boson

    Diame is a quality player.

    1. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Agreed. Always admired him.
