Andy

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.

  That is goalkeeper job to order the back line in this kind of situation and to shout to the defenders IMO. Clear Schezny fault!!!

  Why is he considered better than Cahill?
  I must be missing something.
  
  And before you point out how many goals Bolton have conceeded this season, we have Paul Robinson and Zat Knight in our defence.

Schezny is the worst positioning goalkeeper ever!!! Even if the ball is 2m to the goal, he keeps staying on the line!!! I've changed the opinion about him. Bad goalkeeper, especially for England where there are a lot of balls delivered for headed plays.

    Cech is one of the best goalkeepers in the world because every aspect of his game is very very good. He doesnt concede many goals that make you think: "He should have done better there". Btw, YAKUBU GOAL!

      That was the defenders fault, they aren't 10 year old rookies they should know what to do without the Keeper shouting at them. He is 21 for god sake
