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.

Baines owners who are you considering as a good replacment? I was thinking Ward or Enrique, but I might have a crack at Phil Jones.

▒▓██ N █ U █ F █ C ██▓▒

Decent result, a little unlucky to only draw but I wont moan at 1-1. For Villa I thought Bent and Zoggers were very poor, however Bannan, Warnock and especially Given were very good.

For us Cabaye was head and shoulders above everyone else on the pitch. Had some cracking shots saved brilliantly by Given.

Baps for Cabaye, Given, Warnock probably. Though the goalscorers (Best and Agbonlahor) might get them too.

Wolves on this form means one thing

Im buying back Suarez and giving him the armband next week. Wolves have been just woeful today. If QPR had proper striker they could have scored 6.

    Il go for the safer Suarez. My idea that Odem could match him lots way off. West Brom were destroyed today.
    
    Just need to decide on cheap mid to fund it . SWP / Barton/ Petrov or Ramsey.
    
    Edging towards Ramsey with the fixtures but SWP tempts me too

Told people who were going to captan Ward today that they were underestimating QPR.

This is nothing like the side that played the1st 3 games of this season.

Revenge of the newly promoted sides this weekend!

May take a punt on Anton Ferds, QPR defence looks good.

  Great win nomar, I was saying above Traore might be great FPL prospect as he looks very daangerous going forward.
