Andy

We’ve got three days of Fantasy Football this gameweek, but it’s all about Saturday in fairness for most Fantasy Managers out there. If you’re looking for a strong Gameweek, you’re going to need to kick things off with a bang. We’ll be starting proceedings with Arsenal playing host to Tottenham in the hotly contested North London derby…

Laurent Koscielny returns from suspension and Denilson ousts Jack Wilshere in midfield for the Gunners while Harry Redknapp recalls fit again Aaron Lennon in place of Peter Crouch as he reverts to a 4-5-1 formation. Jermain Defoe is back on the bench today after two months out. The line-ups in full are…

Arsenal XI: Fabianski; Sagna, Squillaci, Koscielny, Clichy; Song, Denilson; Nasri, Fabregas, Arshavin; Chamakh
Spurs XI: Gomes; Hutton, Kaboul, Gallas, Assou-Ekotto; Lennon, Jenas, Modric, Bale; Van Der Vaart; Pavluychenko

The day keeps trucking with the 3pm kick-offs with many Fantasy Managers pinning their hopes and FPL armbands on Nani against Wigan at Old Trafford, while Chelsea backers will hope that the Blues can turn the ship around against the other Blues of Birmingham City. Liverpool, sans Steven Gerrard, will be welcoming West Ham to Anfield in our evening kick-off as they look to push up the table and bounce back from defeat at Stoke.

There’s a lot to be taken in today and as normal the Dugout Discussion is open and awaiting all of your fervent displays this fine day.

Ok people, who is the better buy… VDV or Bale?!? Need to decide today as both their prices are rising!

Looks like VDV might now start RM rather than up front?

Fabregas should just change his name to Fa-braless, cus he's got no support.

Does anyone know how Fabregas managed to escape a yellow card for his penalty-conceding handball in the box- surely if it's judged as deliberate that has to be a booking, if it's accidental then it's an indirect freekick at worse? Unless I've misunderstood the rules here.
