The Dugout Discussion – Saturday

4,059 Comments
Share

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.

    Glad with the CS with Tadic and Clyne, but I wish Pelle wasn't so shite with the ball at his feet. Tadic could have had 2 assists at the end there.

    7 points from Ramsey, Tadic, and Siggy is hugely disappointing, though I'd imagine many others are in a similar position. Thankfully I had Clyne and Chambers to save the day somewhat.

    Btw, Wanyama getting 3bps ahead of Clyne? Absolute bol locks right there
