Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Gameweek 3 – Saturday

Saturday afternoon continues with a quintet of fixtures to entertain us before Everton square up to Chelsea later on. For many, the main focal point will be at the Etihad as we look to see whether Sergio Aguero will be let off the leash against Stoke, with Stevan Jovetic’s owners anticipating another home brace from the Montenegro striker.

Newcastle have been heavily backed in this week’s Scout Picks and we’ll be hoping to see new boy Siem de Jong justify our show of faith ahead of a very kind run of fixtures. Fantasy managers will also get to run the rule over Palace’s potential in the St James’ Park encounter as Neil Warnock takes the helm for a second time.

Elsewhere, Fantasy favourites such as Steven Caulker will be hoping to make an impact at home to Sunderland, while Gylfi Sigurdsson’s growing band of owners are expecting returns for the third Gameweek in succession as Swansea prepare for the visit of West Brom. West Ham welcome Southampton to Upton Park as Big Sam pins his hopes on Mauro Zarate to inspire his side to another win.

You can look to out Twitter feed for all the lineup from today’s matches.

    wow. as part of the masses who sold him, that last costa goal, plus the 3 baps, was the stank on the sh*t for me. still though, big ups to those who held on, even more those who captained. im just happy i dodged the rooney captain trap this week. onto brighter pastures tomorrow, here's hoping sanchez (C) tears leicester a new one!

    is keeping rooney worth it or should i just get costa??

    1. Exeter Gently
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      imo, selling roon for costa is a good idea, regardless of upcoming fixtures.

    I did today Costa - Balotelli for a hit after reading that Costa would be out for at least a month... (i know...) Balotelli's four goals coming 😛

    1. Exeter Gently
      • 9 Years

    List of silly things I've done so far this season:

    1. Benched Siggy and Chester on gameweek 1
    2. Sold Costa for a hit

    What next.

    Works Monthly league has come down to this.

    Dier + 3 points vs Lamela left for me

    Good chance Lamela can get me the win?

    Anyone downgrading Cahill/Terry?

    1. Sparrer
      • 10 Years

      No, upgrading to ivanovic. The game's changed, and I'm WCing in recognition; DC are out, full backs are in. Swapping my five centre halves for five fullbacks post haste.. Dummet, Wisdom, Bardsley, Richardson et al in my sights.

    I know its early, but I've made my transfers for the next GW.

    Didn't want to waste two weeks mulling over international matches and I could literally only just afford the following setup. I'm perfectly happy with this for the next few weeks:
