The Dugout Discussion – Saturday

4,309 Comments
Share

Saturday rolls on with a set of five afternoon kick-offs, rounded off unceremoniously by a tea-time clash as Hull City host Stoke. Interesting.

Before that, all eyes will be on Goodison and Stamford Bridge where two prime captain candidates – namely Romelu Lukaku and Eden Hazard, will carry the hopes of thousands of Fantasy managers as they face up to the Fulham and Crystal Palace defences respectively.

The afternoon’s events are completed by West Brom’s trip to Cardiff, while Newcastle host Southampton and an injury-ravaged West Ham entertain Sunderland.

As always, you can look to our twitter feed for details of the major movements on the teamsheets, while our Dugout Discussion chatroom will take you through today’s matches, right up until the final whistle at the KC Stadium.

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

        11.1, and any more than 1 game and he goes, for me. Less bothered about losing value than I am having one ST spot lying dormant - I simply don't have the midfield to cover it, especially with an injured Gerrard and that donkey Brady taking up 2 spaces.

    Bonus Points:

    A lot of people are questioning how the bonus point system works.

    Three players will receive bonus points, unless there is a tie. If three players have the highest BPS in a game, no one will receive 2 or 1 bonus point.

    If two players have the highest BPS in a game, then whoever is on the second highest BPS will get 2 bonus points, and no one will receive 1 bonus point.

    Also take this into account from the FPL website:
    "If there is a tie for first place, Players 1 & 2 will receive 3 points each and Player 3 will receive 1 point.
    If there is a tie for second place, Player 1 will receive 3 points and Players 2 and 3 will receive 2 points each.
    If there is a tie for third place, Player 1 will receive 3 points, Player 2 will receive 2 points and Players 3 & 4 will receive 1 point each."

        I hope you guys are aware of how close in dates the next few games are going to be getting.

        There really isn't much of a difference between missing 2-3 games when you consider the dates.

        It's too risky to assume he can't play 2 games from now; but would be fine a few days later.
