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.

    Yoshida keeping his place in the starting XI ahead of new signing Gardos. At £4.5m could be a very good choice.

    Of all our attacking players this season, Wilshere and Sanchez have been streets ahead of anyone else. Hmm.

      15mins x 3 games

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

        Good chance on the edge of the box that he hit straight at Forster.

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

        • 9 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Sigurdsson collects Bony's flick-on and fires low from 20-yards. It's straight at Forster and not too threatening.

        9 years, 9 months ago

        Um. I have never loved him. Very much the opposite in fact.

    In other news, awesome t see Hamilton pip Rosberg for pole. Rosberg reacted with "Damn it!" over the radio when his engineer told him! 🙂

    1. Fantasy Gold
      • 10 Years

      Hate both of them and F1 in general. Rich silver spooners with their boring fast cars.

        Not my favourite race series, more of a MotoGP fan myself. But this season has been so entertaining.

    Arhg cmon Ramsey

  22. FPL Blow-In

    Ramsey sickened so close

  23. KenJM
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Have atm Ivanovic + Sterling + Welbeck

    do you think that Williams + Schneiderlin + Aguero is better??

    The values are about the same and it would take two weeks to do. Swansea & Southampton have quite a good set of fixtures coming up.

    Is this worth doing?? It will mean that my forwards are Costa + Balotelli + Aguero

    Any comments welcome - thanks

  24. Cheggers v2

    Welbeck just isn't a goal scorer. Can't see myslef ever buying him
