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.

    Absolutely gutted Foster, Wisdom and Yun are getting 0 bonus points between them. 😥

    So unfair that. 😥

    34 pts here. Probably a green. If I was brave enough to play Yin instead of Chambo would have been more than 40 but that is it. What is there is there. More devastated for Chelsea loosing and City winning without deserving the win. But with Kun out I think chances r increasing for us..

    Comments about this GW?

      34 would be a green regardless of rank I think tonight.

    2. djenzio

      please don't complain if you got 34 points.....

        My rival has RVP captain and double Living defense. I am complaining about Chelsea.

        Let's discuss it the week.. Why not..?

      please take this in the best way when I tell you it's spelled 'losing'. as it's not your first language, you will learn it and know it better than lots in this country.

    No one considering Falcao over Rooney?

    Even if he scores a brace on Monday?

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Needs to play more first.

        Oh h2h. You can't. Only normal league s.

        1. Epic Fail

          Rf

    2. WDT

      Isn't remotely guaranteed his place, irrespective of his performance on Monday.

    3. The Light Knight

      No

    4. Back on the horse

    Sorry I know I got replies but no answers on how to kick someone from a H2H league

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      See my reply fail above.

    2. Gnu

      The administrator of the league can remove a player

      1. Gnu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Go into administer option, then choose player suspension option, then click on his name - Kapoot, he's history:)

  5. Lanley Staurel

    RVP anyone?

    1. Laserface
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      really tempted

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

      Still too expensive

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

        This!

    3. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Let's have a look at him against Soton on Monday.

  6. Dr. Rog

    Mental week

    So what is general concensus on

    1) chambers? Ship now as his time was coming to an end? Clichy? Naylor? Moreno?
    2) austin? Bench for 1 week?
    3) aguero.... Sitting on this onvestment may be wisest?

    1. WDT
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      1) Get rid with Debuchy on the horizon
      2) Great fixtures, hold
      3) Wait for news

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

        this X100000000

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

      Same three players I'm having questions about.

      Half-tempted to transfer out Aguero (if the news is bad) and Boyd for Yaya and a 7.6 striker. Play 3-5-2 next week and then just go from there.

      Probably bench Chambers for now. Bigger fish to fry.

    3. XhakaCan
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      1) Sell if there is a better alternative, Clichy's fixtures and Naylor's (short-term) fixtures look good
      2) Bench
      3) Wait for news of the injury, perhaps sell if he's out for 2+ weeks

  7. PogChamp
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    30 with Rooney, DDG and Hutton to go.

  8. ralfb
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Should i sell kun now or wait?

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Why right now?

      1. Klopp's Kids
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        So all of that who want to wait for the news suffer and lose 0.1M on him.

        1. UnderstandablyDistraught
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          He can only drop in value if people sell and selling before we have concrete news as to the extent of his injury makes no sense. What's so difficult about that?

      2. ralfb
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        To not loose any money

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

      Wait for a few days at least

  9. Klopp's Kids
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Seeing a lot of Aguero replacements but not many are mentioning Jovetic, is there a reason for that?

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

      Mainly because he's injured and has caused a lot of grief for his owners before

  10. ralfb
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Have 3 chelsea players, worth getting rid of fab to get cahill for chambers?

  11. PogChamp
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Walters = Green Arrow 🙂

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Yoyo = green arrow 🙂 😛

  12. Screaming Midget
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    I think Chambers has to go if you can spare the transfer. Banned for the next game + Debuchy is back.

    Austin is away so wasn't a good game for him anyway, so benching is fine as he has a good string of fixures to come back to.

    1. Dr Dream
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Aye...Chambers time is up....and he's rubbish.

    2. djenzio
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      yeah i had planned to bench Austin next week anyway so not that upset about it. more angry he lost points obv

    3. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah I am considering is it the time for Chambo to go? I bought him for 4,5 BTW what is very cheap

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

      Who going to have a transfer to spare this week?

  13. Laserface
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Dont think low scoring weeks matter that much .. Try not to fall behind on a high scoring week .

    1. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Indeed. Not like it'll be hard to regain ground on someone whose big achievement is getting 30 points in a 20 point gw.

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

    Fabregas and Aguero out and only 2FTs and a WC to fix it.

    Season over. 😥

    1. UnderstandablyDistraught
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      what a moaner

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

      Wow, unlucky.

    3. Klopp's Kids
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I have 1FT. I am enjoying life.

  15. ralfb
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Any news why berahinho didnt start. Did he loose starting place for now or might he play full game next week?

  16. sully29
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    26 points with half my team possibly out for the next GW...

    Says a lot that this is probably a fairly good result so far. What a strange day.

  17. Rupert The Horse
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    Pelli says he doesn't believe Kun will play next week.

    1. Injury Prone o_O Gooner.
      • 14 Years

      Next game to be more specific.

  18. Weasel Boy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Knee ligament!!

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

      What does that mean in weeks out terms?

      1. Weasel Boy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Knee ligaments are serious.
        Pellegrini says he won't be playing CL
        The rest is up in the air

      2. Injury Prone o_O Gooner.
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Easy fixtures coming up for City doubt they will be any need to rush him back?!

        1. Timtastic03
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Easy with Aguero, they can sometimes be short of ideas without him

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

            You dodged a bullet today with Aguero going off early I reckon

    2. ralfb
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Think that means hes out for several months

  19. Dr Dream
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Pell....Knee ligament for Aguero and await doctor to see how long...

  20. Injury Prone o_O Gooner.
    • 14 Years

    Walk it off son.

  21. Screaming Midget
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    "Pelli says he doesn't believe Kun will play next week"

    I don't think he'll be getting out of bed next week.

  22. Klopp's Kids
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Knee ligament? Ouch. Hopefully not too bad...otherwise Chelsea has the title handed to them!

  23. Think Tank

    One thing worse than a bad loser.

    A bad winner.

    2. Screaming Midget

      True story.

  24. Stannage
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Have hazard, Oscar and azpi already.....thinking of aguero and Oscar out...Costa and yaya in...for minus 4....although waiting for kun news.....Thoughts on that?

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

      Oscar home to Hull! Don't transfer out for a hit!! Aguero > Rooney?

    2. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Wait - City have big game midweek

  25. Timtastic03
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    How long is Jovetic out for?

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

      meant to be back in time for LEI CRY & WBA but dont make too much noise about it...

  26. Injury Prone o_O Gooner.
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Kun drop tonight then we think? FFF saying tom but im not sure bout that.. Did he rise this week?

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

      Can't afford to do an early transfer anyway.

  27. UnderstandablyDistraught
    • 12 Years

    On a happier note; World cup skiing is back

    "Bad news because it's his knee ligament, but we'll see tomorrow what the problem is"

  29. walkman666
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    No way of truly knowing it's torn ligament without a scan, and I am guessing that is what will be coming tomorrow. A "ligament" could be a sprain, or a whole lot worse (having torn an ACL more than once myself...ugh). I hope he only has a sprain; he was in such great form.

    1. Alan Hansen's Emu
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Likewise, tore my ACL clean in a half a couple of years ago. Not nice.

    only good thing about this GW is I wont see so many score check posts
