The Fantasy Games have updated and another weekend of disappointment begins now.

Missed penalties, red cards, disallowed goals and all sorts of contentious decisions – they’re all coming the way of the intrepid misbegotten Fantasy Manager. To help everyone through this hardship we’ve opened up our Saturday edition of the Dugout Discussion so like minded souls can wallow together. At least until someone turns up at five o’clock and casually mentions how they’ve got a “measly” 100 point haul.

We begin with Arsenal at Blackburn. Most notably Yakubu starts for Rovers while Theo Walcott sits out for the Gunners. Line-ups in full are…

Blackburn XI: Robinson;, Salgado, Dann, Samba, Givet; Hoilett, Nzonzi, Lowe, Rochina, Formica; Yakubu
Arsenal XI: Szczesny; Sagna, Koscielny, Mertesacker, Santos Song, Arteta, Ramsey; Gervinho, Arshavin, Van Persie

After the dust has settled on that tie we’ll have five more match-ups at three o’clock including Leighton Baines at home against Wigan, Swansea still awaiting their first ever Premier League goal and Kevin Davies and Grant Holt duking out a battle of the gargantuan strikers.

Plenty to keep you busy on a Saturday afternoon and the Dugout Discussion will be here for it all.

The ethical dilemma when you feel really bad and guilty to wish injury upon a player but still really want to get your FPL player on.

Tearing me apart.

    I still love Yak. His goal against the scummers in 2004 sparked the most mental celebrations I've ever seen.
    
    I broke the seat of the guy in front...he didn't mind.
    
    Yak forever. Xxxxxxx

Hoilett is RIDICULOUSLY one footed. Watch how he always goes on the left outside of his full back but then tries a stupid cross with his right foot.

Hoilett, Formica and Rochina. The Blackburn team isn't that boring anymore actually. They still have Yakubu though.
