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.

      First it was Costa, then Aguero and now Sanchez...

    Any thoughts here gents?

    Adrian
    Baines, Clyne, Berty
    ADM, Hazard, Chadli, Tadic
    Costa, Aguero, Sakho

    A) Tadic and Haz/ADM -> Sanchez and Siggy (-4)
    B) Costa and Tadic -> Austin and Sanchez (-4)
    C) Clyne and Tadic -> Walcott and Dummett (-4)

    Many many thanks, this is going my head in 🙂

    1. MBK 42
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      A of those and would lose Hazard.

    2. 272MK
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      A is best. Costa has good fixture.
      Walcott is a risk no? Clyne might get CS next GW

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

        That's what I was thinking - with Haz, right?

    3. Kevin Twine

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years

        With Haz, right?

    4. iNFL8r
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      A and lose ADM. At least 1 mil overpriced IMO.

  6. MattysFantasyFooty
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Benched Siggy for Colo not bad wish I played him ahead of one of my 3 other defenders

  7. 272MK
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Wanyama or Boyd?

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

      Wanyama

      1. 272MK
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        just scared he might be prone to rotation

    2. CelticBhoy1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Would verge Wanyama but Burnley do have decent fixtures

    Thanks to the FFS community for telling me to keep Siggy 😀 I was so close to swapping for Downing

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

      I swapped last week to Downing and glad I did. 😉

  9. S.Kuqi
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    So Siggy to Downing was huge fail.

    Well done all you Siggy keepers.

  13. Well you know, Triffic
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Feels really weird continually ignoring Chadli, think downgrading Di Maria / Fabregas to him would allow Aguero Costa etc

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

      Yes in same boat

    2. Call Me Old Fashioned
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I have ADM, Costa and Aguero.

      But thinking Tadic to Chadli

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

    Well I think its safe so say that Aguero(c) and Baines saved my GW. 72 post-baps

  15. galway77
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Anyone else feels FPL sud come out and explain the bps cause its a complete joke... how does Chaldi and Sanchez get 3bp yet they end up on the losing side. Thats wrong and very wrong cud b the difference of winning or losing ur league

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

      Should Siggy get 3 baps for scoring one free kick, and doing nothing else?

      1. Carrick Doesn't Deserv…

    3. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      It's completely transparent though. So FPL have no explaining to do. Maybe they haven't got the balance right, I dunno

    4. Essan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      bonus points are based on performance over the whole game. The current system is much better than when someone came on for 5 minutes, had 1 shot, scored a goal and got 3 Bps ...

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

      its explained already

    6. Qubit
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      It is probably skewed slightly too much in favour of goal scorers (but then that is what wins games!), but the actual mechanism for scoring is available for all to see on the fpl site.

    Big turn-around in my season!

    -79 points with 7-9 BAPs coming in
    -I finally picked the highest scoring player on my team as captain (Aguero)
    -I have no injuries or deadwood
    -Got 2FT
    -Chamber owners got 0 pts if they played him

    Only con:

    -Played Wisdom over Dummet

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

      Plans for the 2FTs?

      1. Klopp's Kids
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Waiting until the 21st of November to decide. Might just use 1FT.

      Very similar here

      2 FTs last week, was happy with my team so just did Obertan -> Boyd.
      Still 2 FTs for the int. break.

    NEED HELP!!
    Dropped 1k to 8k in two weeks without agureo. Should I wildcard this team to get him in?

    Team is
    Lloris 4.0
    Wisdom Dumnett Baines Chester Bertrand
    ADM Sanchez Fab Siggy Wanyama
    Costa Pelle welbeck

    Only other way I could do it in 2transfers is welbeck and ADM/Sanchez > agureo and 4.4 mid??

    Sanchez (vc) Rooney (c) hurts like hell 🙁 especially when I captained him the last 2 gws

    1. Belsunz
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Captaining Wooney is a poor decision to be honest given Sanchez form.

  27. CelticBhoy1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Take out ADM or Fabregas to make way for Aguero?

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

      ADM.

    2. Feed tha Sheep
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I'm same boat as you and currently on fab but would involve 3 transfers if I did fab or 2 if ADM

  28. Declan
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Eriksen 1, Sterling 4, Lukaka 2 = 7

    ADM 6, Sanchez 9, Sakho 2 = 17

    -8 hit
