Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Monday

Gameweek 35 comes to its conclusion this evening as Hull welcome Arsenal to the KC Stadium. After a number of their relegation rivals won over the weekend, Steve Bruce’s side sit just one point clear of the drop zone despite clinching back-to-back victories over Palace and Liverpool in their double Gameweek 34.

The Tigers backline are seeking a third straight clean sheet after upping their resilience in the fight for survival, whilst Dame N’Doye owners will be looking for more of the same after the January signing bagged a brace against Palace in the previous round of fixtures.

Arsenal, meanwhile, will be eagerly assessed by Fantasy managers with one eye firmly on double Gameweek 37. Olivier Giroud has seven goals and an assist in the last eight rounds of fixtures, whilst Alexis Sanchez has three strikes and an assist in his previous four outings in all competitions – both looked poised for significant investment as Arsene Wenger’s side prepare for three home clashes and a trip to United in the final three Gameweeks.

Aaron Ramsey, Mesut Ozil and Santi Cazorla are also vying for our attentions in the centre of the park, whilst at the back, Laurent Koscielny and co. look to extend the series of displays which have seen the Gunners concede just three times in the last seven Gameweeks.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Hazard and Vardy out
    Ramsey and Benteke in (already own Sanchez)

      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

  3. Elijah's Wood

    Which is better?

    A) Sanchez, Cazorla, Ramsey in for Hazard, Henderson, Silva (keep Fabregas)

    B) Sanchez, Ramsey, Bellerin in for Fab, Silva, Clyne (keep Hazard)

    Need Sanchez, must downgrade Hendo to (A) Colback or (B) Gomez?

    1. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Only if you can't afford the others

  12. Wild Rover

    7. BobbyV
      • 10 Years

      Prefer attackers this time of the season so Özil

    8. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Kos. More of a goal threat than Ozil 😉

    Wilshere coming back at this stage is an annoyance. Obviously not a DGW option himself, but he'll take minutes off players who are.

  16. Jax
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 days ago

    only sanchez' 2nd double figure in last 10 matches. supposed it was bound to happen this week just before the DGW.

    1. Declan

        Damn! Get Sanchez off now before he scores more goals

  26. Malcolm Tucker for England …
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 days ago

    Balboa on for Meyler

    1. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Adrian (c) for his penalty save 😯

  27. Danstoke82
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 days ago

    Crap that looks nasty. Fair play to him for continuing though

  28. Sean the Bean
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 days ago

    Not much mention of Caz... Bad call?

    1. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Yes. Judge his prospects after 3 quarters of a single game.

      1. Sean the Bean
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 days ago

        I meant there's not much mention of people getting him on here

    2. whitters_2014
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      He's played well

      1. Sean the Bean
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 days ago

        I agree, hence why I'm considering the move to save a 4 point hit

  29. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 days ago

    Already used 2FT to get Sanchez and Gomez

    A) Now: Fabregas -> Ramsey for a hit
    DGW: Vardy -> Wickham for free
    B) Now chill
    DGW: Just Fabregas -> Ramsey
