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.

    What's the story with Chester? Hull looked so much better defensively with him in the team and now he's dropped?

    😕

      Dawson so over rated. Always was and always has been.

      They've been playing a back four. Davies is the captain, Dawson is the new signing.

      And I can see it staying that way really. They've got two strikers now - Jelavic and Abel H - and bought well in midfielder - Diame, Ben Arfa and Gaston.

      A back four allows them to fit these guys in. Pretty terminal for Chester as an FPL option.

      i guess because Bruce bought one of the most over-rated centre halfs around in Dawson - who can't play 3 at the back- and is obliged to play him!

    Berahino - 160k ownership

    One of the most frustrating things in FPL are dead teams in your ML. Somehow they keep managing to score well. One guy in my ML has Berainho from when he scored well.

  8. Pedram

    lol you guys are going to jinx Wisdom.

    1. Debauchy

      Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

  9. mr messi
    • 13 Years

    So is Aguero the best Rooney replacement if he survives the CL match?

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

      A fit Studdge is tempting

      1. mr messi
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Mmmmm, maybe

    2. Debauchy
      • 11 Years

      And the International break , mmm ?

    WBA can have some fun now, a Burnley goal would be no more than a consolation.

    1. Shifty
      • 10 Years

      shush it!

  13. SW6

    Annoying that Dawson was priced at 4.5. He should have been a typical 4.0 pick at the start of the season.

    1. CABAYE4
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      4.0 starters from non-promoted sides are always very rare, we were lucky enough with Wisdom.

      1. money face bandwagon

        yeah already too many 4m starting options..hutton moore duff wisdom

  14. RiflaFC

    Is Rooney protected against price-fall due to red card?

    1. MJ6987
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      No it doesn't work like that. Needs more transfers out though so should be oK for a while

    2. HuttonDressedasLahm

      Who knows. Silly system!

    3. Del Griffith

    Double West Brom defence in Playon

    Not liking this score, they will let in a sloppy goal now 🙁

    1. MJ6987
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      No way WBA will keep this CS.

      FPL just doesn't work like that!

      That's the worry

      1. HuttonDressedasLahm
