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.

    I shouldn't laugh at people having Pool defenders given I have Caulker, but I have only used Caulker 3 out 5 GWs and it looks like I'll get 6 and 9 from him (plus his 2 v Hull, where he nearly scored)

    People play their Pool defender every week

      I don't have Sterling and probably won't get him in for now.

      Though I think Ramsey is doing fairly well. Only 2 non-scoring weeks out of 5. Also when he does score or assist he almost always gets a bonus or more.

    So if Ozil is now humming in his best position would it make sense to do Sanchez to Ozil so I can shift Adebayor to Costa with my 2 FTs? I was going to take a hit to get Costa in but may not need to with this option. I know a match is PM but any views? 🙂

    Don't own Sterling and not getting the negativity about him because of Liverpool's poor start, they'll have to go in search of goals to get back in it. Obviously hope he does nothing, but it's a bit early to be writing him off!

        Fair enough. Liverpool's fixtures look fairly decent though and I can't see another way into their team. Had Sturridge from the off for this reason, nobody else makes solid appeal.
