Saturday Dugout Discussion

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.

    Yes I have Dyer starting and Brunt coming on is good news also even though I was going to swap him for Barton such a bad mistake.

    Is it worth upgrading Aguero to Rooney? It's really the only way I can get him in, selling Suarez just doesn't get me enough cash and the rest of my team doesn't have anyone expensive screaming for a downgrade.

      I'll most likely do that for next GW since I have Dzeko anyway, but tomorrows game might give some answers if one of Aguero/Dzeko is benched.

    It's days like this I'd rather have a no show Ferguson on the bench than get upset over 4.5 dyer that gets a goal.

      It does save the annoyance. Only get it if Nasri, Young, Adebayor or Suarez dont play a minute. Poor wasted points... and I really need them too.

      Ferguson is tempting. Leaving points on the bench really sucks the fun out of the game.

        +1, especially when there's 12 or 13 players you want to play so know you're leaving players on the bench with good fixtures.
        most annoyingly you can only blame yourself, that's no fun 😉

      silly logic. surely you want someone who is scoring on your bench for one week, rather then someone who never scores.

        Silva Taarabt eagles Walcott. Had 2 Swansea players starting, fancied the other 4 mods to do better considering Swansea haven't scored all season.

          Ok, some good players there. Easy to say know I know, but I would probably have benched Taarabt since he's away.
