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.

    How did Wenger not see chambers being exploited the entire game? Had he made that change earlier it could have been a very different finish. He has an eye for talent, but his ability at adjusting his team as the game evolves is just dreadful.

      Tactically inept. Has been for years.

      Chambers is only playing because of injury to others. He is not first choice.

      1. Last Resort...
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        It doesn't matter, he was having a bad game and It should have been addressed 😉

        1. UnderstandablyDistraught
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          How?

        2. Syd.
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          He has never had a good game defensively he was awful midweek but they don't have any other fit defenders to replace him with.

      2. Wilshere Knowledge
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Then play Monreal there, or Bellerin!

        1. UnderstandablyDistraught
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Bellerin is even more defensively inept

        2. Guidinho
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Precisely this. Montero was fast and small, Bellerin has got all the gas you need. More importantly this would allow Chambers to play at CB, not like he could be worse, weaker, smaller etc than Monreal

    3. Chambo
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Exactly, so frustrating

      Chambers was terrible against Anderlecht too. Very flat footed.

    Can we face Arsenal next week instead of the week after please? I reckon we'd murder them on their current form.

    1. Punty
      • 10 Years

      Yes after that blistering 1-0 against Palace it would be a sure victory

    Omg 3 bonus for SancheZ? Really?

    1. FISSH

      Might update

  10. Beavis
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Who would you prioritise getting in? Costa or Sanchez?

    1. Frank Black
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Aguero.

      1. Beavis
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        I've got Aguero, useful answer.

        1. Frank Black
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Well, i've already have Costa and Sanchez, so it made sense.

    2. Podge
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Costa

    3. The class of 92
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Sanchez

    4. rickardinho
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Costa

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

      Sanchez

    6. Carrick Doesn't Deserv…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      sanchez

    7. rickardinho
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Costa-Aguero is the way forward I think. With Sturridge the replacement for the first to drop

    8. Les Bleus
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Costa

      1. Beavis
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years

        Mixed responses......interesting. Cheers guys.

      Surely higher. All the well owned players were in the points today. I'd say 52.

    Chambers will have a Montero nightmare tonight.

    Saturday 8th November 2014 11:27am I put Siggy in for Fab and chaned my captain to Aguero from Sanchez. Massive sigh of relief.

  21. The Machine
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Siggy completed his 30th pass in the final minute. Have they added the 6 extra bps he gets for that?

    1. @ocprodigy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Most likely not, I think he may get the full 3, 2 minimum I'd say.
      I just want to stop Sanchez (c) players getting more points.

    2. Wings Fan
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I think he was on 25 and is now on 31? So would guess so

  22. Beautiful Game

    Sanchez for any baps?

  23. Reggae Shark
    • 9 Years

    Had an absolute mare this week. I accidentally left sigurdsson on the bench, i was meant to replace chambers with him but i didn't confirm him either.

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

      did the same in GW10 with Oscar-Downing, though downing thankfully outscored oscar 13-10 to rescue me!

      1. Reggae Shark
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        I was praying for arsenal to keep a clean sheet and Sigurdsson to blank, weird feeling wanting Arsenal to hold onto the win as a man united fan lol

    2. MBK 42
      • 9 Years

      Not good, shipped him and Sterling for ADM and Boyd for -4; at least Sanchez and Chadli did the business so might have been worse.

    3. Shifty

    4. addictedtofpl

      Horrible.Having ADM ahead of Sanchez doesnt help either.

    Could switch him to that Newcastle chap, take a point hit to upgrade him or stick.
