Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Sunday

Sunday provides a quartet of matches, bristling with Fantasy talent and the promise of points aplenty.

Three afternoon matches get us underway at White Hart Lane, the Hawthorns and the Stadium of Light, before we take a trip to south Wales as Arsenal and the on-fire Alexis Sanchez crash in at the Liberty Stadium.

The big team news surrounds today’s encounter between Spurs and Stoke, where Harry Kane, priced at just 4.8 in the Fantasy Premier League, is given his first league start after firing nine goals in all competitions. We’ll be monitoring his impact in that one, whilst keeping one eye on Everton’s Leighton Baines’ progress in the clash with Sunderland. Meanwhile, in the Midlands, we can assess Newcastle’s progress as they drop in on West Brom with an array of low-to-mid price differentials on show – not least Saido Berahino.

Once that trio of matches concludes, it’s over to Swansea and Arsenal to see us out, as Sanchez goes for his fourth double figure haul in as many Gameweeks.

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

    Would appreciate help, Gents. 🙂

    2 options for me.
    A) Tadic ➡ Oscar/Walcott (free)
    B) Welbeck ➡ Austin & Tadic ➡ Alexis (-4)

    Which one?

    What's the general feeling about Fab injury?

    Fab, Tadic and Welbz to Sanchez, Oscar and Austin for -4, yah or nah?

  3. JPeg
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Pelle & Welbeck & Ivan >>> Aguero & Sakho & Yun (-4). I need to pull the trigger now as will have 0 in the bank. How long can I hold off? When will my targets rise?

    RICKY - PASSED WITH FLYING …

    sterling , welbeck + tadic 》sanchez , sakho + chadli for -4 

    Foster - krul

    reid - clyne - naylor - chambers - shackell

    sterling - tadic - siggy - di maria - jedinak

    welbeck - aguero - diego costa

    Chelsea have the title won, but who's going to get the CL spots?

    Soton, Wham and Swansea?

    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    77 points but I captained the second LOWEST scoring player in my front 7 (or eight if you include Baines).

    The gameweek that got away...

    1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      take the rough with the smooth dude,,,,greta score

      1. 7shadesofsmoke
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        yeah, I'm happy.

        Not going to dwell on it since its a good score - just feel silly for not leaving the armband on Kun.

        How did you get on mate?

        1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

              • 12 Years
              9 years, 5 months ago

              LAWR long and winding road

    2. BRONALDINHO
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Same captain here - and he's the second lowest scoring in my whole team (on par with Duff). But everyone else stepped up which makes me one happy man tonight

    3. RabMac
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I have got captain wrong nearly every week. This week was slightly better with Pelle but moved it last minute from Aguero. :S

  9. Willian't

    Have to get rid of Van Aanholt and have 5.5 to spend. Thinking West Ham defender. Any other suggestions?

  13. Jar Jar Dinks
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Welbeck, Fabregas => Costa, Downing.
    Should I pull the trigger?

    1. Yes Don
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      yup

    2. Belsunz
      • 10 Years

      Yes

  14. Willian't
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    I'm holding on to Bert. They're a top 3 side? Would you be selling your chelsea or Man city players if they had fixtures against other top 4 sides? They're a form team, hold on until they aren't.

      • 9 Years

      Price drops do have to be taken into account, though

    Which Backline should I choose? Hesitant of B and C since Moore/Kelly aren't nailed.,

    A) Cresswell, Bertrand, Trippier

    B) Cresswell, Baines, Moore/Kelly

    C) Bertrand, Coleman, Moore/Kelly

    Tadic and Frazier Campbell out

    Chadli and Austin in

    For -4 ???

    Yes or no?

    1. sdavids
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Not for me. Why not do tadic to chadli next week? Or you need the money to make the other transfer?

  22. A.T

    MCCarthy and Barry out! Bad news for Everton cleanies 🙁

    1. Demí
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Shieeeeeeeet.

      That's massive news. Gibson and Besic are poor understudies. International break to hopefully get them back sooner atleast. Can't see a cs at west ham if mccarthy's missing there

      1. JK - Cønt ⭐
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Just when I'd decided to get Baines 😆

      2. A.T
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Heard on radio Barry may have a broken leg? Besic is poor I'm afraid. Could see osman play there

        1. Demí
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Apparently not a broken leg, but could still be ankle ligament damage 🙁

          1. A.T
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Nasty. I was thinking of bringing in Coleman too.

  23. Podge

    Baps are in

    Hi this is my team going into next week:

    Krul
    Baines, clyne, Wilson
    Sanchez, moses, fabregas, soggy
    Aguero, Costa, pelle

    Bench: foster,, Boyd, Hutton, n taylor

    0.2 itb
    2 FT

    I'm fairly sure I'm looking to do pelle and moses to sakho and downing for GW 13. So want to save 1 FT. Seems silly to not use one this week though but I literally have no idea what to do with it. Any suggestions?

  25. JaydenLFC87
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Fab & Clyne > Sanchez & Hutton for free??

  26. ZTF
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    70 points any good?

  27. Mind över Mata
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Berahino -> Austin (-4)

    Madness, right!

    1. BMO3033
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      i'm considering it to how did Kane look

      1. Mind över Mata
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Didn't see the game. Kane is a risky proposition

        1. BMO3033
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          yeah would imagine he's a better option the ade and soldado but who knows and for the price of 4.8 heading the spurs line is an intriguing proposition

  28. AllINeedIsCoffee
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    I'm thinking about Sánzhes + Taylor - 4pts in for Henderson + Kaboul, thoughts? Both In rising meanwhile the latter (or more correctly, their team) constantly fail to deliver.
