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.

Is this the final straw for RVP owners? Yes, he got an assist, but for 12m you need a bit more than that. Would rather save 3 and a bit million and get Arteta if anyone from Arsenal

He's got Bolton home next but I don't think I'll be captaining him.

  Pretty much-for 12 mil you'd expect a nailed on captain for Bolton at home. Like you I'm probably gonna give someone else the armband.
