Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Gameweek 3 – Sunday

Fantasy managers have three matches to feast their eyes on today before the international break is upon us. Up first, Spurs welcome Liverpool to the Lane as Mauricio Pochettino’s side attempt to pick up a third straight win under the new man in charge.

A host of players from both sides are on the radar this afternoon, with Christian Eriksen, Erik Lamela, Nacer Chadli and Emmanuel Adebayor key to the hosts’ chances of avenging the 5-0 humiliation that led to Andre Villas-Boas’ departure last year. Liverpool are poised for a superb run of fixtures after this match and while Daniel Sturridge and Raheem Sterling are the obvious targets, Mario Balotelli’s display will be eagerly analysed.

Villa and Hull go head-to-head in the other 1.30pm kick-off, with Paul Lambert’s side seeking a third successive shut-out before the fixtures take a real turn for the worse.

In the final match of the Gameweek, Leicester entertain Arsenal at 4pm. Aaron Ramsey rolls up to the King Power Stadium looking to net for the third successive league match, whilst Alexis Sanchez is also finding his form – having scored the winner against Besiktas in midweek, the Chilean’s confidence is on the rise.

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

    Studge is not a team player. He literally doesn't look up when he gets the ball ever!

    1. Jimbo123
      • 14 Years

      Makes him a great fantasy prospect

      1. Ady87

        9 years, 9 months ago

        Goals almost as good as assists for forwards and when Sterling is busting a gut and a pass is on he should be making it!

      He delivered assist for anybody today, lol!

    3. Rupert The Horse

      He assisted the assister twice.

    Villa defender owners, you'll never see a clean sheet again this side of Christmas.

      I think the foxes will upset Arsenal

      1. Mr_Partridge

        Because you support Chelsea. What a surprise

        Nice insight

        You're an upset

      5. Debauchy
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        It is not impossible . They have looked good going forward . Were unlucky not to get 1 or 2 against Chelsea also. Arse need an early goal then all good

      6. Elniñorules
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        I think it will end up 1-1

          haha

      Having Sturridge seems like a waste of time.

    • Bod

      Hull you beauty's, that'll serve my rival right for doubling up on Villa defence

      #Arsenal team to play Leicester City: Szczesny, Debuchy, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Monreal, Flamini, Ramsey, Cazorla, Ozil, Alexis, Sanogo

      1. Ludo
        • 10 Years

        Sanogo, interesting

      2. Jax

    • Mr. Mystic
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      The question is:

      Eriksen -> Sterling or Mata -> Sterling?

      1. Pork Pie Sausage Roll
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Eriksen

      2. FplMagician
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Toss a coin

      3. fedolefan
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Eriksen -> Sterling

      4. Matakuko
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        easy. Eriksen

      5. micsway
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Well ain't mata injured?

        1. Mr. Mystic
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Apparently it's just cramp

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

        I just did the former.

    • fedolefan
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Alex Bruce is owned by 16.7%. He could drop 0.3 or more right over two weeks? Dang, hate to waste a sub on a 4.0.

      1. Gaz Downright
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Why do a transfer when you think it's a waste?

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

          Well, because it'll be forced out of a possible drop in value as opposed to one I need to make.

      2. Sarnab
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        He won't drop so much. Max. 0.2. There is a change in Price rise/drop mechanism

    • Geordienufc1
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Still time to salvage an ade consolation? C'mon...

    • Game of Stones
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Rambo playing deeper is a good thing imo, he can then make the runs through the middle like he did a lot last season - Flamini sitting a long side him allows him to do just that

      1. Yome
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        He will compensate the poor game of Ozil

    • Not Irish
      • 10 Years

      Who did it come off it if was an OG?

      1. Pork Pie Sausage Roll

    • waltzingmatildas

      Starting 11 has 36 🙁 Bench has 20 :'(

    • LewanGOALski
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      so Mata & Dzeko out for me for 2 FTs.

      I am getting Sterling. Then I have 9.8M to spend on a striker. Who should I be looking at..? Still Adebayor?

      1. Yome
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        What about Pelle? Saints fixtures are good

        1. LewanGOALski
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Hmmm, could be a good call..

          Also allows me to do Roo > Kun for GW5

    • Rambo Motin
      • 11 Years

      Sterling is giving me heart attacks every time he's on the ball. Agonizing watching him as a non-owner

      1. Wej
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Get him in then

    • HUMZAH96

        Quinn with the assist to Jelavic

        1. Jairzinho
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Will it go down as an own goal though?

      • gravless

        Glad I didn't look at my team page between the 60 & 74 min mark

      • Billy Gilmore

        Safe to say Townsend won't be taking Chadli's place anytime soon...

        1. Gigging Order
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          But Welbeck will be.

      • Tasty Jerk

        9 years, 9 months ago

        Chambers on the bench looking good for 8 point Duff to come in, please don't bring bim on with a few mins to go!

        1. Bubz
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Don't get too excited yet, could easily come on

      • Zombie

        Sterling has 0 BAPs as it stands

      • Stephen - Robot Daniels
        • 11 Years

        Would like an unassisted low ownership goal from spurs here.

        1. 7shadesofsmoke
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          yup

      • Not Irish
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Spurs still well below par in midfield.

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

          thats rich

            • 10 Years
            9 years, 9 months ago

            On the contrary everything you say is rich.

      • The Ginga Ninja
        • 10 Years

        Mata and Eriksen to Sterling and midfield up to 8.8m?
        Any ideas?

      • Wej
        • 11 Years

        How many BAPS is the winning goal bonus worth? Is that still a thing?
