Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Sunday

Sunday serves up a trio of Gameweek encounters, with Thursday’s Europa League ties pushing Hull and Tottenham’s home fixtures alongside Man United’s trip to the Stadium of Light.

Events begin at the KC Stadium and White Hart Lane, with Steve Bruce’s Hull hosting Stoke and Mauricio Pochettino’s Spurs facing a London derby clash with QPR. Fantasy managers will be focused mainly on the latter, with Christian Eriksen the top owned asset on show from the early kick-offs.

Attention then turns to the North East, with Louis van Gaal’s United outfit taking on Sunderland in a bid to get their season underway following the opening day defeat to Swansea. With a staggering 48% ownership, Wayne Rooney remains the headline act, while Juan Mata’s 19% ownership will be holding out for returns in order to stem a tide of sales that have already seen the Spanish playmaker drop in price.

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

    You ever feel like when a fan goes to a game, and their team is up by 3 or something. Then, all of a sudden, a player they don't have on PFL owned by a lot of teams scores, and everyone is happy and he or she is secretly sad?

    Lol I always wonder about that for some reason*

      Was at the Chelsea game yesterday and I wanted Schurrle to get out of Costas way yesterday - had Costa as captain.

  10. Chu Young Ping Pong
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Doosra justifying his Sanogo pick. You never seem to admit you're wrong.

      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      🙄 completely missing the point of a budget striker.

    1. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      i think he was saying he freed up funds to get better players elsewhere, who have performed for him...

    2. SW6
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I bet he's ranked higher than you though

    3. Nabs Kebabs
      • 12 Years

      had sort of valid reasons, but called me thick when i questioned him 😯

  12. DropPointsNotBombs

    Bojan on the bench LOOOOL

    1. Tin of Directors
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      What if he comes on and scores?
      Would that make you a bell end or an utter bell end?

      1. DropPointsNotBombs
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        More likely to come on for the last 15 and do f*** all

        1. Tin of Directors
          • 14 Years

        😀

  13. Captain Shirokov
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    I'd just like to say that anyone who gets rid of Costa is silly.

    He is custom built for the prem, guaranteed 20+ league goals this season.

    1. DropPointsNotBombs
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Why would people get rid?

      1. Captain Shirokov
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Seen a few (Parm 😉 ) shipping him for aguero

        1. Cars and Mané
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          I'd strongly consider doing that too.

          1. Parm
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            I'm still not too sure about him to be honest, there's no way he'll score goals against better opposition as easy as the ones he scored so far.

    2. Tin of Directors
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Couldn't agree more.

    3. Les Bleus
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I hope you're right!

    4. Cars and Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Not concerned that he's scored twice and only got 1 bp?

      1. Captain Shirokov
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Nope. 6 ppg is ok with me. 🙂

        1. Cars and Mané
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          He'll score every single game?

          1. Captain Shirokov
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Nah, he'll score in at least every second game though. Assists too. 🙂

    5. Woy of the Wovers
      • 13 Years

      No. You're silly. :p

        9 years, 8 months ago

        Well, I'd like to see your team if/when Aguero and RVP start firing. Let's see how happy you'll be with a goal every other game.

    Repost on the right thread

    That Robertson for Hull is staring at me...got to be a shoe in with those fixtures and OOP...4.0...What's not to like.

    1. Billy Gilmore
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      He's 4.5

      1. The ghost of a Pug's g…
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        And may not play every game...

    2. Cars and Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      4.5

    3. Demí
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I thought he was 4.5

      I think it's his spot to lose, and if he keeps playing well, then no reason why he should be dropped from the side and could offer a good option. Is he also ineliglble for Europa?

      1. Dr Dream
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Is he...apologies...4.5 is still worth the watch...Who is his competition Demi ?

        1. Demí
          • 13 Years
