Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Gameweek 6 – Sunday

The Gameweek continues with a tussle that has all the credentials of a fixture that Match of the Day would schedule last as Burnley make the trip to the Hawthorns to face West Brom.

The majority of Fantasy managers look set for an afternoon off, then, treated to 90 minutes with little at stake and a potential scouting mission of the budget market.

Burnley, with just a single league goal and three consecutive clean sheets, will come under the microscope. With bargain buys back-to-front, we’ll be assessing their suitability as their schedule eases over the month ahead.

As for West Brom, they are notoriously a no-go zone for Fantasy managers: Alan Irvine’s “revolution” currently boasts little to interest us, bar an array of low-to-mid price differentials that only the brave would consider. Will today’s encounter change that outlook?

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

  3. The Ginga Ninja

    Just wondering is it worth another -4 this week to do Chester to Moore and play him instead of Clyne or Bertrand? Will be getting rid of Chester soon but is it worth to do it now?

    1. Honeybadger
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      - never worth if you have descent subs that could play instead.

    2. Debauchy
      • 11 Years

      Nooooooo

    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Costa 8
    Ulloa 5
    Agüero 4
    Berahino 4
    Chadli 4
    Pellè 4

    Prem top scorers. Who woulda guessed.

    1. Marian Kuna Guero
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Chadli top scorers mid

    2. Pedram
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      it's just a dire week, get over it

        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        top goal scorers. not fpl scorers.

  4. Ady87
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Pelle or Dzeko?

    1. Oliver Tockman
      • 9 Years

      Pelle

    2. Prince of Persia
      • 9 Years

      Pelle

    3. Wave of Mutilation
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Pelle imo. I can't get my head around City rotation risk (personnel, CL, injuries).

  5. JoeJitzu +42
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Play Tadic (tott) or Welbeck (chel) this week??

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Obviously Tadic

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

        Mmmmmm , think again

    2. Honeybadger
      • 9 Years

      coin flip

    3. Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Welbeck

    4. chrisjdgrady
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Fix your team so you never have to bench one of them

  6. BlueIncognito
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Aguero in for Rooney is done

    1. Del Griffith
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      what will you do if Aguero gets crocked in CL?

      1. BlueIncognito
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Only said this to see if I'd actually get responses which is exactly why I'm now going to wait to bring him in

        1. Honeybadger
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Don't think Kun is going up in price so you can afford to wait...

      2. BlueIncognito
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Worth bringing in Naylor for Rose for a -4 in order to free up funds for Baines next week?

    2. Kevin Twine
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Good luck.

  7. WHY ALWAYS MESUT?
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Repost from before.

    Begovic - McCarthy
    Clyne - Ivanovic - Shawcross - Moreno - Moore
    Fabregas - Siggy - Sterling - Di Maria - Boyd
    Costa - Balotelli - Ulloa

    0.3m ITB, 1 FT.

    Thinking:

    a) Ivanovic -> Chambers ; Balotelli -> Sturridge/Aguero (with a -4 hit)
    b) Shawcross / Moreno -> Duff ; Balotelli -> Sturridge (with a -4 hit)
    c) Ivanovic -> Chambers with a Balo upgrade next week.
    d) Moreno -> Chambers with a Balo upgrade not affordable yet.
    e) Shawcross -> Chambers with a Balo upgrade not affordable yet.
    f) Do nothing.

    1. Kerz
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Keep Balo for just one more week.

      I'd go with F and have 2FTs over the international break. Team looks good for the coming week.

    2. Del Griffith
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      A, get Aguero

    3. Green Arrow
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      f. Pool fixtures are excellent. Balo might do something useful.

    4. WHY ALWAYS MESUT?
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Thanks for the responses guys.

      I'll try and do F but I may just give in and get Aguero. Hopefully I'll be able to resist.

  8. Wave of Mutilation

    repost - stuck on the bottom.

    Pls choose one of these three for GW7:

    A) Clyne (tot a)
    B) Moore (BUR H)
    C) Pieters (sun a)

    Thx

    1. WHY ALWAYS MESUT?
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Moore

      1. Wave of Mutilation
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Leaning in this direction, but struggling to bench Clyne.

    4. Prince of Persia
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Why did Falcao drop? Strange IMO. I want to replace Rooney with him.

      1. Prince of Persia
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Oops...Sorry.

      2. Pasqualinho
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        He has lost over 30k transfers (approx 10% of his peak ownership) so it's not a complete surprise.

    5. Green Arrow
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Wise old wisdom.

  10. Reed_Rothchild
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Watch everyone get West Brom assets when they have Liverpool and ManU the next two games.

    1. Optimus.
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Might not be a bad thing looking at both

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

        Yep. Wisdom in anyway and easy to bench . Best .4 def imo.

  11. ...---...
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Didn't see Chadli going off. Was he in distress or was he just skiving off early?

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

      He got a knock. Should be fine.

      1. ...---...
        • 13 Years

        Nice one!

  12. FredrikH
    • 11 Years

    How does this look for GW6?

    Bego (Gilkis)
    Moreno Moore Duff (Clyne Wisdom)
    Fabregas Sterling Di Maria Chadli (Albrighton)
    Aguero Costa Pelle

    Cheers.

    Ramsey to Hazard for a -4? Or someone else?

    I want to get back Ramsey or Wallcon when he is fit. Others mid are ADM, Sterling, Siggy and Cesc.

    What to do? Wait one week?

    1. Whazza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Not worth a hit since you already have 4 good mids to start this gw

  14. Green Arrow
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Repost:

    Who to leave on the bench next week?

    Sig(NEW) Sterling(WBA) Downing(QPR) Fab(ARS) Adm(EVE)
    Pelle(tot) Ulloa(BUR) Costa(ARS)

    This is too hard 🙁

    1. Whazza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      That's why I owe Marney.

  15. Wake me up before sanogo
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Midfield and attack:
    Sterling, Siggy, Punch, Rambo, Tadic
    Costa, Rooney, Naismith

    Really need to get rid of Rooney and Ramsey this week obviously, what do people suggest?
    A) Welbeck and ADM OR Fab OR Silva
    B) Kun and Mata OR Ozil OR INsert name here....

  16. Pedram
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    How many weeks are we keeping Siggy ? i don't think he's going to get back to his early season form.

    1. Del Griffith
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      He will score next week v Newc

    2. Wave of Mutilation
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I plan to reassess after GW7 (NEW).

    3. Marian Kuna Guero

    4. Debauchy

      Forever

  17. team77
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    What would be the best replacement combo for Ramsey and Rooney?

  18. BlueIncognito
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    -4 to bring in Naylor this week to free up funds for Baines next week or take the hit next week?

  19. The Man Pastore
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    What is your opinion on Mané?

    1. Mahesh_Kumar
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Decent. But I would need to see another game to decide.

  20. Prince of Persia
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Why did Falcao drop? Strange IMO. I want to replace Rooney with him.

    1. Pasqualinho
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I answered on your reply fail. Mostly so you weren't alone.

  21. VougieDipond
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Piazon just scored and absolute peach

  22. Livinginapool - Top 100 Any…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Not another Rooney and Ramsey post, surely!!!

    A) ADM and Welbeck

    B) ADM and Dzeko

    C) Chadli and Aguero

    🙂

  23. The Man Pastore
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Is Ramsey/Rooney to Mané/Aguero a good transfer for -4pts?

    1. Mahesh_Kumar
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Tadic/Aguero better

      1. The Man Pastore
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        i am 0.1 short...

    2. Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Think so - bit risky though with Aguero still to play a game or 2

  24. Mahesh_Kumar
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Which 3 to play next week?
    Ivanovic
    Clyne
    Shawcross
    Moore
    Duff

  25. Willian't
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Hey folks. Does anyone have a bloody clue when ramsey will drop? I want to get in silva but not before CL unless he drops before then.

  26. Hammers Select
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Is it time for a captain punt?

    Ulloa vs Burnley

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

      Yep - I would if I had him.

  27. davies
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Madness to bench Clyne this week?

    Also, what to do with Siggy?

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

      Siggy home to Newcastle. Hell, you have to keep for that fixture surely ?

  28. czw
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Current team for next week:

    Bego (Heaton)

    Moreno Bertrand Moore (Chambers Hutton)

    Hazard Ramsey Siggy Sterling (Boyd)

    Costa Welbeck Falcao

    2FT, £0,6 ITB

    Which of the following is best:

    a) Ramsey -> Silva, save 1FT
    b) Ramsey -> Tadic/Mane, Falcao -> Aguero
    c) Ramsey -> Tadic/Mane, save 1FT, and leave enough ITB to get Baines and/or Aguero GW after
