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.

      Apparently he was better than Hazard according to the BAPS system.

      Ridiculous.

        ivanovic was by far the best player. even costa scored the winning goal and didnt get any baps, dont whine.

        1. DIegoCosta19
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          they need to fix the bps

        2. The Machine
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Different games. No rocket science. Hazard even got higher bps score than mata

      2. The Machine
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        No he wasn't. Hazard got more bps score than mata. Do you ever think?

        1. Not Irish
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Not when I'm having a moan. Get out with your logic.

      3. Bubz
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        But Hazard got more BPS..?

      4. bazrah99
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Hazard was poor

  2. Wavey Wambz

    Dier or Lovren?

    1. Irish Madridista ⭐
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Clyne.

      Already have him?
      Caulker.

      Already have him?
      Bertrand.

      1. ronmadpirlo
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Caulker is going down surely.

        1. Irish Madridista ⭐
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          No idea, but he's had 2 big goal chances in 2 games.. I fancy him to come good.

          1. ronmadpirlo
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            I want to keep him Caulker home versus Sunderland is great but might have to ship him out because of price drop

    2. Cak Juris
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      DIER!!!
      He will be the next Ramsey. He will punish everyone that neglect him....

      1. ronmadpirlo
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        chance he gets dropped with Walker back?

    3. Gatsby
      • 13 Years

    Ah c'mon LVG it was a dive, just accept it.

    1. bazrah99
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      A bad one too. Get him out of the team.

  5. Stupendous
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    How do I look for next week...

    .Bego (meh)
    Collocini. Rio. Dier
    Silva. Siggy (c) Fabregas. Sterling. Ramsey
    Costa. Rooney

  6. OptimusBlack

    Best Defender for Next 4 , 5 GWS ?

    1. Wakka Wakkas
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Southampton. Clyne or bertand.

  7. pundit of punts

    Mata 3 BAPS. 😎

    1. Jax
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      we know

  8. thegaffer82
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    A) Bego > Lloris

    or

    B) Chambers > Dier

    My worry with B) is I'm getting rid of one rotation risk for another. But I don't know about A) either as I'm probably alone in thinking that Stoke will actually sort themselves out sooner or later

    1. Irish Madridista ⭐
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Begovic is causing me a headache..

      1. PB-THE-VET
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Goalkeepers very rarely get the cleanies. Its save points ha want. Find a cheapie and dump him there till a wildcard or smtn.

        Concentrate on players further up the pitch.

        1. Irish Madridista ⭐
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Still good value in picking the right one...

  9. ireland123
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Badly need help lads and lasses.
    Currently I've 2 FTs.
    My midfield is Ramsey,Mata,Sterling,Eriksen,Marney

    and my forwards are Costa,Rooney,Bojan.
    £0m in the bank.. Want to get rid of Bojan, what do I do?? I've hit a block
    Any help appreciated 🙂

  10. MattHanstead
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    I will do my team for next week after tomorrow's big game, watching out for Jovetic and sturridge

  11. SG8
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Any reason not to do Bojan to Naismith straight away?

    1. Irish Madridista ⭐
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Do it 🙂

    2. Kuqi Monster
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Not put off by the chelsea fixture?

      I'm looking at getting rid of bojan, but not many options in that price range are appealing to me...

  12. dodger49
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Chambers to play the next couple of GWs?

    1. thegaffer82
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Nope. Think his run has come to an end (bar the odd game here and there)

  13. Mr_Partridge
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Lool Deng

    1. Reedy
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      What's a Deng?

      1. Reedy
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Well I can scarcely lol at it if I don't know what it is...

  14. The Man Pastore
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Here is my team. Just did Bojan to Naismith
    De Gea (Gilks)
    Cahill Clynz Debuchy (Wisdom Bruce)
    Mata Hazard Siggy Ramsey (Elmohamady)
    Costa Rooney Naismith

    1FT / 0.4 in the bank

    I would like to bring Aguero in the team for GW3 by doing:

    Debuchy to Coloccini or Taylor
    Costa/Rooney to Aguero

    What do you guys think? Is it worth a -4?

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I'm waiting. I want to see Aguero play 90 minutes and performing, before trading in a player that expensive.

  15. dodger49
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Who is a good choice budget keeper (in addition to Krul) for the next couple of weeks

  16. Hazard for Ballon D'or
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    I need 4 points tomorrow from manquillo and Kolorov for a win in my h2h. Think ill get it??

    1. DIegoCosta19
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      johsnon would play

      1. Hazard for Ballon D'or
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        If he does I need 3 from kolarov

    2. ireland123
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Yes :p

  17. dodger49
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Anyone else feels good about Larsson after the first two weeks (and their favorable upcoming fixtures)?

  18. amol
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Dont really favour any man utd players

  19. DIegoCosta19
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    1. DIegoCosta19
      • 9 Years

      ..?

  20. Cak Juris

    No love for Chadli? Why?
    Please see his goal and assist in his previous club. So amazing....

    1. Jax

      pool home next. bit kneejerky.

  21. Klopp's Kids
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Di Maria for 63M? If Utd don't get top 4 they'll be screwed. It would be better if they brought in 3-4 signings for that money.

    1. Mr_Partridge
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      #Panic

    2. bazrah99
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Why will they be screwed based on a single transfer? They need top 4 anyway as a target regardless.

  22. KneejerkJoe
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Repost, plz help:

    RMT:

    Krul (bego)

    Caulker cahill debushy (chester wizdom)

    2. Sarnab

    1. pundit of punts
      • 11 Years

    1. ireland123
      • 9 Years

      D

      1. OptimusBlack
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        so what to do with both of them 🙁

        1. ireland123
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          I say D cauSe I've faith in Bego.
          Ideas for budget strikers btw??

    2. amol
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      C but Begovic will come good IMO after City

  26. ireland123
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Budget strikers for forthcoming gameweeks? Or am I wiser to use a 3-5-2? Wanna get rid of Bojan, I've two heavy hitters in Costa and Rooney already

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Naismith

      1. ireland123
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Is he nailed?

        1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Played well and scored in both games. Unless there's a transfer I can't see how he could be replaced by Koné.

    2. bazrah99
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Berahino

      Should have scored against Southampton and had a great game GW1.

  27. Sarnab
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    LvG on Kagawa: "I tried to play Kagawa (in a deeper midfield role) in the US. But he could not fulfil my wishes."

  28. Sarnab
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Van Gaal asked whether he likes Di Mara. "Yes, but I like Messi, also. I like Vidal, also."

    1. bazrah99
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      All three would be nice 😉

  29. Wavey Wambz
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Fabregas or Hazard?

    1. fedolefan
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Both if you don't have costa, else Hazard.

      1. bazrah99
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Fabs for me. Haz just runs a lot.

  30. amol
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Good?
    Fabianski
    Bertrand Clyne C.Davies (Wisdom Hutton)
    Hazard Ramsey Tadic Sterling Siggy
    Sturridge Costa (Vaz Te 😆 )
