The Dugout Discussion – Saturday

Following a dramatic Stadium of Light clash, we can now look forward to five three o’clock kick-offs keep Saturday’s action moving, before Liverpool host Villa in the evening encounter.

Fantasy managers will be fixated on events at the Emirates and the Etihad as Arsenal and City face up to favourable opponents on home turf. The likes of David Silva, Yaya Toure and Alvaro Negredo will be well backed ahead of their meeting with Cardiff, while Mesut Ozil and Olivier Giroud will be amongst the names being watched keenly when Fulham draw up in North London.

Elsehwhere, many Fantasy managers will be hoping for Palace to reconstruct fortress Selhurst Park and earn a clean sheet against visiting Stoke. Meanwhile, Norwich host Hull City and West Ham look to continue their revival against Newcastle at the Boleyn Ground.

You can look to our Twitter feed for the teamsheet news, whilst the Dugout Discussion chatroom will remain available right up until the final whistle at Anfield this evening.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      I'm thinking of dropping Ozil and doubling up on City in midfield with Silva and Toure. I have have Hazard and can't really see any other heavy hitters that offer that kind of consistency...

        You ought to have Aguero so that makes it tripling up, not doubling up. Between Silva and Toure, I've opted for Silva. He's just unlucky not to get into the scoresheet and offer a few more assists.

        At the moment and personally, I would very much keen on making a straight swap for Cazorla.

          I got Aguero back in this week and also have Silva, I'm sitting on Nasty at present so couldnt accommodate Yaya this week without a hit, and I'm not up for that. Santi gets a brace every 5 or six games, so I dont really consider him a viable option... if he shows some consistency in the coming weeks I may reconsider. Maybe Lallana for Ozil, but I already have Rodriguez. Saints fixtures are very appealing though.

        My move was:

        Adebayor Lukaku Ozil > Aguero Giroud Wilshere -8

        I suppose the success of the move is measured by what the first two do.

        If they score a combined 10 I dont break even.

        The early Giroud free transfer could be the part that let me down.

    Giroud and Ozil to Wilshere and Aguero for a -4 hit?

    Yay or Nay?

    Negredo, Silva, Ozil --> Aguero, Cabaye, Cazorla. Done. (-4)

    Knew jerk maybe, but need arsenal coverage and I think cazorla is better to have than Wilshere. Cabaye had fantastic fixtures and Aguero is, well, Aguero.

    We'll see how it pans out!

      I think Wishere is a better option at the moment. Just a thought.
