Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Monday

Nine down, one to go as Swansea welcome Hull to the Liberty and hand us some Monday night football to sink our teeth into. Michael Laudrup’s side have offered Fantasy managers a strong source of points at both ends of the pitch in front of their own fans – three of the last four home games have produced a clean sheet and three goals or more for the Welsh outfit:

Jonjo Shelvey’s 14-point haul in the previous Gameweek saw the former Liverpool man earn himself over 161,000 new owners prior to the weekend deadline, though with Curtis Davies back on board after serving a one-match suspension, the Tigers will be hoping to turn in a resilient display.

The big news is that Michu is fit and available to lead the line for the hosts after recovering from ankle and knee problems. He replaces Alvaro Vazquez up top in one of three changes by Laudrup, as Gerhard Tremmel and Nathan Dyer come in for Michel Vorm and Alex Pozuelo. Robbie Brady drops out for the Tigers after a series of disappointing displays since returning from injury.

As always, our Dugout Discussion chatroom remains open right through to the final whistle.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

      Why bench somebody who has got 3 double digit scores in the last 3? He *could* blank but you'd be more annoyed with yourself if you benched him and he went on to score again

    having trouble understanding the overall rank thingie.

    my GW rank this week is something quite nice looking (between 2K and 3K), yet i only went up around 150K.

    3 GWs earlier, i went up by the same amount but with a GW rank of around 100K.

    in the middle, i went down the same amount i'd gained in the GW where my GW rank was 100K.

    how can a GW finish of 2K produce the same climb up the table as a 100K finish given that it's the same overall increase? (roughly 420K to 270K)

    hopefully i've put that clearly enough.

        i understand that part, camzy. clearly i didn't explain clearly enough.

        basically, 3 or 4 GWs ago i was sitting around 420K. the next GW i had a 100K GW finish and went up to 270K.

        i then fell back to 420K over the next couple of GWs.

        this GW my GW finish is about 2.5K and i've gone up the same amount i did 4-5 GWs earlier with the 100K finish.

        does that mean that the complexion of the 150K ahead of me has changed dramatically during the 4-5 GWs in which i've made the same climb?

        seems to me that if i'm covering THE SAME ground in terms of overall rank, a GW finish that's 50x better should result in a much more significant overall increase.

        or i could just be really dense. wouldn't be a huge surprise if that's the answer.

          The field spreads out as the season goes on. It's REALLY easy to get massive green arrows in GW2, as there are only a few points separating hundreds of thousands of places. As the season goes on the average point gap per week probably stays the same between say 100k and 200k, but the total gap gets larger and larger.

      Probably because 100k rank in a high scoring week might gain you 20-30 points on some rivals, whereas a 2k rank in a low scoring week has all the scores bunched together, so while your score is better than your rivals, it might not be by enough points to catch them.

    This must be one of the toughest fantasy football seasons in recent years. No clear team to back, patchy scoring and injuries to key players at inconvenient times. I'm not necessarily saying this because I'm doing poorly, although that is also true, but it's just been really tough to predict. Other than Suarez, the heavyweights have blown hot and cold. If you didn't buy Ramsey early, you're also looking at a big deficit which is tough to climb out of.

    Also, for some reason this year, at least with my team, I've never felt the need to make more than 3 transfers in a gameweek, and that's preserved my wildcard which I feel could have helped me more early in the season than now.

    Still a long way to go. More than half the season left, and I still have hope I'll be in the top 10,000 at the end of the year. Stick it out, and these holiday fixtures could bear really good fruit. If you still feel bad, take a look at Mark and his team. Do you doubt that he'll stop playing and end up with a dreadful rank? I don't believe it for a second, and I expect to see him scrabbling in the top 100,000 if not the top 10,000 come the end of the season.

        Its for a draft league so Howard is already taken. Gameweeks 17 & 18 and 19 & 20 have been considered as double gameweeks. My reasoning was to stick with Mignolet for this week and then bring in Guzan for the 17-20. Hope this makes more sense!

        Although may plump for Krul now.
