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.

    29+5 likely baps and just Hazard, Coleman, Ade + Suarez (c) to go.
    I feel a red arrow coming on.

    Also feel not quite so happy about my decision to not bring in Cabaye which'd looked quite smart for the last couple of weeks.

    Ozil > Yaya, Johnson or Wilshire tonight.

      Exact same as me. But I have Eriksen to play also and have 25 plus BAPS to come ATM

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

    To someone more clued up than myself: how does the bonus point system work? Is it joint highest BPS gives 3 to each player, joint 2nd highest gives 2 to each and joint 3rd highest gives 1 to each?

    Thanks in advance!
