Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Saturday

18 January 2014 4626 comments

Mark

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.

  who are your 3 big defenders mate?
  
  am thinking of Coleman, Kos and JT on wc.
  
  Not sure Komps is worth 6.3 and the rest ain't worth it, unless Kolarov gets nailed

Coutinho genuinely seems like he's blind, who does he even try to pass to most of the time?

His passing was amazing last season, it's bizarre.

Who do you think will rise by 0,2 before next GW?

A) Johnson
B) Yaya
C) Noone as the new 5th mid
D) Kolarov
E) Wilshere
F) Aguero
G) Cazorla
H) Cabaye

Others?

    You're probably right that the Kolarov bandwagon will be a bit dented after today's game, but still think many will bring him in as city def cover.
