Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Saturday

With the title race back on, we turn to five Premier League encounters to keep the Gameweek rolling, before Manchester City look to maintain the Chelsea chase with three points against Everton at the Etihad.

Fantasy managers will be concentrating their attention on two venues in particular, with QPR hosting fellow strugglers Burnley at Loftus Road, whilst Arsenal and Alexis Sanchez pay visit to the Britannia to take on Stoke.

Sanchez is undoubtedly the most popular asset on show before Sergio Aguero takes to the turf this evening, as the Chilean looks to extend his run of seven goals in as many league outings. The Gunners are also chasing a third straight clean sheet, although Mark Hughes’ Potters are unlikely to give them an easy ride – the big team news from the Britannia is that Olivier Giroud earns a recall, with Danny Welbeck benched.

As for QPR, Charlie Austin will be carrying the hopes of both Harry Redknapp and a horde of Fantasy managers as he looks to continue a rich vein of scoring form when the Clarets pay visit. Danny Ings will be one to watch for the visitors in a battle of the budget strikers down at Shepherds Bush.

Elsewhere this afternoon, Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen take increased ownership into the White Hart Lane encounter with Crystal Palace, whilst at Anfield, Liverpool (with Steven Gerrard benched again) will look to build on the 3-1 midweek win over Leicester with another three points against visiting Sunderland. Hull City’s Humberside date with West Brom rounds off the day’s offerings, before we take the trip to Manchester to catch the latest episode of the Aguero show.

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

      Nice one.
      More importantly for me is the 8.7 players played.

      This guy had 3 players sent off and is going to get a massive green arrow from inside the top 10k.

    It seemed like Kun was thinking about trying to play on and he did at least walk off, right?

    So maybe not a long term injury?

      Clutching.

      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      If by 'trying to play on' you mean 'sobbing uncontrollably', then yes.

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Honestly not that bad. Top 10k average is only 5 points more and the average team has only 2.3 players left to go, you have 5. You'll get a green.

      1. super zlatan
        • 13 Years

        Cheers rupert. Hope u are right mate.

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

  9. Heydudes13
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Will be transferring another player on 4 yellows in Yaya... Already had Costa, Fabregas and N. Taylor go down with suspension last 3 weeks...

  10. Wilshere Knowledge
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    19 points with 2 to go.

  11. Prime
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Clichy just 1 BPS short of that 3rd BAP

  12. Nazz
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    WHY IS EVERYONE PANICKING AND GETTING RID OF CHAMBERS!!

    just play wisdom this week and wait...much rather that than a 4 point hit....you lose the same amount of points as a cleansheet for no reason!!

    1. Les Bleus
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Debuchy is back...

    2. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      He will lose his place by the time he isn't suspended.

      1. Nazz
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        well then address that next next gameweek

        1. Nazz
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          and he played when debuchy played anyway!!

          1. Think Tank
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Chambers is a card-magnet.

            A RC was inevitable sooner or later.

  13. pundit of punts
    • 11 Years

    Can't see any 'Give the title to Chelsea already..' posts today. 😆

    1. The Machine
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      That's a good thing

    2. goriuanx
      • 13 Years

      😀 really hope you guys beat them to it!

      Sad about Kun 🙁

      1. pundit of punts
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Don't mention Kun. 🙁 🙁 🙁 🙁

    3. Somalion
      • 14 Years

      If the Aguero injury is serious they might as well...

  14. FBI Man
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Sud i transfer out Chadli 6.4 mil? 0.9 mil in bank

    Have walters, Yaya, Sanhcez and siggy already

  15. The Machine
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    The only positive is now I can put fabregas and austin in the line up with snachez and siggy warming the bench

    Always works

  16. goriuanx
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Aguero replacements?

    I really don't want Costa. Considering fat Wayne

    1. Arsenal Deli
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I'm going Rooney, but Costa at home v Hull if you don't have him could be deadly

      1. goriuanx
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Has Hazard 1-0 written all over it

    2. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I was considering getting rid of Costa but with Kuns injury I will have to change my plans

    3. Evans
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Dzeko

    4. Back on the horse
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I'm thinking rooney for sure.

  17. Arsenal Deli
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    If Aguero injury is long term (6 weeks and longer) then it really will blow FPL wide open in terms of captaincy choices, striking options, etc. It will make it very interesting but hope he recovers quickly

    1. Azerbaijan Shopping Centre
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    • 13 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    What's the mood in camp?

    It's pretty comical really isn't it?

    Would Aguero have taken the pen if still on?

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I'm trying to see the light side. 13 with RVP, Downing, Hutton, Adrian

      1. Prime
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Cue Falcao starting ahead of RVP

      2. Heydudes13
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Might still be a decent week. Where's Siggy?

        1. Piggs Boson
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Have Mirallas instead. Assist last week, and hopeful for returns next week.

          1. Back on the horse
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Mirallas is a very good shout. There was talk of you having Cisse..

    2. super zlatan
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Band camp...?

    3. Syd.
      • 14 Years

    • 13 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Any striker 7.5m or less worth bringing in for the short term? (2-4 weeks)

    Really need to get rid of Berahino

  24. The Machine
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    I guess rooney is the most obvious transfer

    Aguero chambers wilson OUT

    Rooney baines oshea IN -4?

  25. Colonel Shoe 肝池
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

      1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        only 5 actually, but the rest of my team was crap so im on the average......

        could have been 12 extra points... which is huge this week

    2. Somalion
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Well sure aren't you better off keeping afloat than having a nightmare like many this week?

  29. MJ6987
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Are we sure that Azpi didn't go off due to the knock he received not long before?

    1. Smarty Pants
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      that's what I thought

    2. diabydoesgallas
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah. He went on a bit of a lung bursting run while Luis was getting ready so I'd say he's fine 🙂

  30. diabydoesgallas
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    26 points with Siggy, Bony and Downing to go. From what I've read it's slightly above average, but still, will be doing well to get close to 40 points :-/
