Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – West Ham vs Man City

We have to face it – after the momentous points bonanza of Gameweek 8, this weekend may well be a bit of a comedown.

Six Saturday fixtures will have the task of setting us up for another round of three-figure hauls and, ironically, it all begins with last weekend’s leading man on show as Man City crash Upton Park to take on West Ham.

Sergio Aguero and City will surely face an uncomfortable ride in East London, with the resurgent Hammers giddy at the prospect of facing the champions whilst sitting in fourth place in the table. Fantasy managers will, nonetheless, be anticipating and expecting the Aguero show to rumble on through the home defence: the Argentine sports the armband for many and we’ll look for at least one goal from him amongst the huff and puff of today’s early kick-off.

Following that, we’ve just a quartet of three o’clock kick-offs, before Swansea host Leicester in a gentle-looking evening clash to see us out.

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

      Pelle 7 Baines 23

    Brought in Aguero for -4, He should've scored but oh well, never the less caught him at 12.3 and he'll go up to 12.6, A long term transfer and still worth bringing him in when I did, just unlucky with the captaincy is all

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

      Yep looking at it this way. With the form hes in, always the one to score. Unlucky today that is all.

      1. John Obi Wan Mikel
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Yup exactly, people will want to bring him in next weekend and won't be able to because of price

    2. Epic Fail

      Just one of them things. On another day he could have had a haul.

      1. John Obi Wan Mikel
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Even today he could've had a haul, I still feel very confident in his ability to produce the points

        1. Epic Fail
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Yep, as long as he stays fit the hauls will come every so often. And he looks like he may well stay fit this season.

    3. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Aguero is never a long term transfer

      Too injury prone

  3. HuttonDressedasLahm

    Naismith to Sakho

    Easy

    1. Billy Gilmore

      Hart kicked him in the head

      1. Frank Black

        Fantasy says shoulder injury...he fell in front of Hart but seriously...he has to be fine.

    Aguero hatty against united incoming. He is a home boy

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

      Thinking this, he will be captain

  9. Kerrazy
    • 11 Years

    Welbeck>Sakho once Wally starts.

    1. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ
      • 11 Years

      Considering this also.

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

        Saves loads of cash also.

  10. Azathoth
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    I knew it would happen . I had Silva for 3 GW and he offered me nothing . And this GW that i sold him , he gonna get 10 points.

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

      No worry theres better consistent player than him.

    2. Raddy
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Silva is one of those ones that require patience. He has been very unlucky to not get points (mostly assist points) over the past 3 GW's.

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

      Yeah but he'll blank for the next 3 probably don't sweat it

    4. Randy_Marsh
      • 13 Years

      I had Tadic for about 5 weeks

  11. Parm
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    I hate this little period between the 12:45 ko fishing and the 3pm's starting.

    It's full of people saying "I knew that would happen, but I was too scared to captain Niko Kranjcar after Aguero punished me last week."

    The herd mentality strikes again, can't live with it, can't live without it.

    1. Debauchy
      • 11 Years

      Lol

      I enjoy it

      Good. Now if they can sort out offsides as well...

      1. Debauchy

        And a few other areas . Matter of time before they are dragged into the future

    Had Aguero last week, had him as (C).

    Put (C) on Sigurdsson this week.

    Am I the second coming of Nostradamus?

    1. Goodfella
      • 10 Years

      We'll find out in 2 hours...

    2. Dušan Citizen

      I was in dilemma between Kun and Siggy..u can guess which one I gave armband

    3. Kim Jong Kün
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I couldn't (c) him against my team last which was stupid. You seem to have not had such an issue. Gotta keep emotions out of this game.

  16. Kim Jong Kün
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    I am really hoping the +0.3 gain I got and Kün's performance against United make it worthwhile for the -4 I paid this week.

  24. MJ6987

    Pellegrini cocked up his tactics today. Plain and simple.

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

      Game lasts 90 mins not 30

    2. Dušan Citizen
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Pellegrini OUT!

    3. The Machine
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Yup. Dzeko over milner was the main one

    4. Unliklinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Agreed. Switching back to lone forward formation for the last 25-30 mins made a massive difference. Will he learn a lesson?

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

      They've battered teams playing like that over the last season or so.

      Blame lies firmly with the players imo.

      Yaya totally ineffective, Fernando looked out his depth, Clichy and Mangala always at risk of being a liability and Aguero missed his chances.

  29. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Sakho looking like the perfect differential.

    Fixtures over the next couple of months:

    stk, AVL, eve, NEW, wba, SWA, sun, LEI

    Only 5.7M, allows for Aguero, Costa, Baines and premium midfield.

    4.3% ownership.

    1. The Finnisher
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Won't be 4.3 for long though

      1. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        You're correct, sadly. Hopefully people will continue to turn a blind eye, as they have done week after week when he banged them in.
