Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Saturday

With the impact of Sergio Aguero’s four-goal blast reverberating around the Fantasy Football community, we shift to the three o’clock kick-offs and await further points hauls.

How ironic that, on the day that Ageuro would draw level in the race for the Golden Boot, nine-goal Diego Costa is conspicuous by his absence. This time around the talk of injury concerns rang true as the Chelsea hitman is forced to sit out his side’s trip to Palace, triggering the Fantasy Premier League vice captain for many; for some, that meant that Aguero was on hand to sweeten the pill.

While Chelsea attempt to get by without their clinical striker, elsewhere, Fantasy managers will be monitoring events at the Emirates, Goodison and St Mary’s in anticipation of points.

Arsenal, with Danny Welbeck leading the line and Aaron Ramsey back on the bench, face a free-scoring Hull side in a clash that looks set to promise goals. On Merseyside, the Leighton Baines bandwagon prepares to start its motors when Villa pay visit, while down on the south coast, the likes of Graziano Pelle and Dusan Tadic will have the opportunity to boost their stock with the visit of Sunderland.

West Ham’s trip to Turf Moor and Leicester’s visit to Newcastle round off this afternoon’s action, with no late kick-off to see us out.

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

    You don't have to get membership to know who is about to explode. It's in the comments all the time

      Great. Who is about to explode next then?

      1. The Machine

        I'll let you know on Friday

          Thanks.

        Well. Tadic was on the edge to explode last 2 or 3 GW,..

      No, better just to use the site for free and save the enormous sum of £15 🙄

      1. The Machine

        Yeah I guess

      Players often do statistically well and flatter to deceive. Tadic may well do that all season, you don't win 8-0 every week.

    4. Not Irish
      • 10 Years

      Then why didn't you have Aguero?

      1. The Machine
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Because I had pelle

        1. Not Irish
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          And Cisse.

  2. Journeyguy
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    I have Bertrand & Davis for SOU. If you could have one of Pelle or Tadic who would you pick?

    1. The ghost of a Pug's g…
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Pelle

    2. aapoman
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Pelle. I think he is more consistent

  3. aapoman
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    62 points + Baines, Aguero, Pelle, Fabregas and possible Bertrand baps. And Di Maria (c) + Siggurdson left to play. Should be a green arrow?

    1. MCH
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Apparently 40 after baps is about average can't believe it will be that low myself.

      1. Baines on Toast...
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Why not? Aguero has sub 20 ownership and Tadic is tiny.

      2. aapoman
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Looked at the top of my 'main league'. The average there was about 32p without baps. Could be possible that 40p is the average after tonight.

  5. Godot - Fashanu Zealand
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Almost hoping for one of my players to get injured so I can have an excuse to bring in Tadic/Aguero..

    1. MJ6987
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Same here. But whenever I have 2 FTs my players steadfastly refuse to get injured!

      1. Godot - Fashanu Zealand
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        2 FTs myself. Baines can be added to my want list too!

  6. Dušan Citizen
    • 10 Years

    Just did Cahill and Sterling to Baines and Tadic 😀 Haters gonna say I knee jerked 😀

  7. Declan

    1. MCH

      Lovely stuff.

  8. Cars and Mané
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Does fpl discovery include auto subs and vice captains?

    1. Saniul
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Obviously no.

      1. Cars and Mané
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        ...why's that obvious?

        He's includes baps

  9. Jönny
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Crazy to think my transfer was Costa -> Aguero, who I captained, and yet... had I gone with my original planned transfer I'd have got Baines in for Moreno, captained Pelle, got Boyd off the bench for Costa and probably done even better!

  10. The ghost of a Pug's g…

    Standby stoke....you lot are in for a bumming

  11. Hyperion

    Dusan I love you.

  12. Feanor
    • 14 Years

    Krul clean sheet 🙂

  13. Klopp's Kids
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Had: Baines, Pelle
    Missed out: Aguero, Tadic

    Hope Costa being injured for 3 weeks is true. Aguero can slot in nicely into my team.

    Note to self: I give Tottenham too much credit.

  14. Michael Jordan - call me MJ
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Front line of Pelle Costa and Welbeck making it very difficult to get Aguero!

  15. The Nuttman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Where do I find out the prelimiary baps?

  16. vice
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    As this is really confusing at the moment, please comment - Do you think Costa will start against United? Yes or No.

    1. MJ6987
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Don't think anyone knows

      1. MJ6987
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        But I would guess he will

      2. vice

        I asked for opinions.

  17. pundit of punts

    81 points with Sterling,Sigurdsson,Wilson and Naylor to go. 😀

    I want to hit 100. 😀

    1. The Machine
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      77 with those - naylor. Have to take that aguero the aguero horror show

    2. Jönny
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      83 with Sterling, Di Maria, Moreno and Siggy to go 😎

    3. Poseidon. Not arrogant, jus…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I can see us dominating Stoke tomorrow. You'd think Siggy will be well in the points if we put 3-4 past them. You should be good.

    4. Lawrø
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      89 with Sterling, Siggy and DDG to go here!

      Hopefully I can reach 100pts... This has to be one of my favourite gameweeks!

  18. Holmes
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    So, Pelle or Welbeck for coming weeks?

    1. Herman Toothrot
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Still Welbeck imo

  19. LewanGOALski
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    I have exact amount of $$$ for Costa ➡ Aguero

    Please welcome to the intermediate results for GW 8 with projected bonus points according to the BPS. Expected overall average is 32 points from 6.4 players. Average score in the top 10K is 39.1 points from 6 players.

    1. The Machine

      Does that take into account captain switches from costa?

      1. Cars and Mané
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        "Obviously no" according to some wise guy above

      2. MJ6987
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        I doubt it

      3. Lawrø
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

  23. WHY ALWAYS MESUT?
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Guys.. What would you do?

    A) Costa to Aguero
    B) Ulloa, Ivanovic, Shawcross to Aguero, Chambers, 4.7m. Hold both Costa and Aguero.

    Thanks!

    Ruined what should have been a cracking week with a ridiculous captain choice, but on the bright side absolutely smashed it in UFPL.

    Which two would you pick to sub in from Sterling, Henderson, Siggy and Lovren please?

  28. Darth

    Clyne is on an target of 137% and currently perching on top of the fiso table. I do not know what those percentages mean, but what am certain of is Bert might go up in price soon.

    1. Will Bertrand go up in price?
    2. Should I do Iva>Bert today? I also have Clyne.
