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

    Need to free up some cash to get Ramsey in. Which change do I make?

    A) Ki > Albrighton
    B) Giroud > Benteke

    1. Numb

      2 goals is enough for me.

  11. Numb

    Just a reminder...

    Just because Ramsey did better than Giroud this week, doesn't mean that the same will apply next week.

    1. andy85wsm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Sorry mate!

    2. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      That's why I;m having Ramsey, Sanchez and Giroud

      increases my chances

      1. Numb
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 days ago

        Seems sensible.

    Where do you think Walcott will end up next season?

    Surely won't be at Arsenal.

    1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Yeah, can see him leaving.

    3. Acquafresca
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Liverpool always buy english players for ridiculous prices. So they have a good shot.

    4. sinik
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      for his sake, hope it's not Liverpool or his memoir will be fairly uneventful

      Let's bring him over to Everton. We'll need to replace Mirallas anyways

    11. Leaf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Liverpool

    12. Somalion
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Arsenal.

      Slight chance of City.

    13. Wonderful Wizard Hazard
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Isn't it about time for City to buy another mediocre Arsenal player?

  14. Royal5
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 days ago

    Sanchez should've had 5 goals in this game.

    1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      heed better get baps dagammit

    2. RÏɠBY
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      a hattrick would have been nice

  15. Sc007
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 days ago

    Bring in Benteke or giroud this week?

    Skrtel to koscielny
    Sterling to albrighton
    Murray to benteke/giroud for -8 this worth it?

    1. zon
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      I'm going for Benteke, doubling for ars midfield with Ramsey and Alexis.

  16. ralfb
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 days ago

    Did ozil look good today?

    1. Demí
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Looked better than Giroud. But it's not saying much

    2. RÏɠBY
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      middling to fair

    3. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Not his best game tbh.

    4. ralfb
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Thanks, still not sure who to get of ramsey ozil sanchez group

    5. Tinydancer
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Few nice touches and a few really good runs in behind first half. As a fantasy prospect Sanchez and Ramsey are way ahead for me 🙂

    6. Wonderful Wizard Hazard
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Had some very nice touches and passes. Saw one or two shots, nothing close. For mids, gotta have Sanchez. Ramsey is the best 2nd option, maybe Cazorla as #3 option.

    So, I have Ramsey and giroud already:

    A fab and siggy out, Sanchez and Larson in for -4
    B fab to ozil no hit
    C fab to silva no hit

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

      A, or Gomez instead of Larson?

  21. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 days ago

    Sanchez (c) is tempting but then Aguero has QPR home. 13 points at Loftus Road...

  22. RÏɠBY
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 days ago

    arsenal DGW arsene has ozil ramsey wilshere caz and walcott to select from*
    alexis being the only one nailed on

    to imagine the others will get 2x90mins is dreaming

    *not sure what's up with ox rosinsky arteta

  23. FPL Maldini
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 days ago

    Well that was a roller coaster of emotions.

    Looks like I can't be overtaken in my mini league, worst case scenario it goes level on points but I would have to lose all 3 games

  24. TheCurseOfRaheem
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 days ago

    2nd season playing, lost my ML miserably last year. Leading by a point with 3 GWs to go this time around. Not sure I would have started playing this if I knew I was going to go grey as a result of the stress.

    Giroud as my only Arsenal destroyed me

    1. andy85wsm

    2. 420king

      52 here, have Sanchez

    3. It’s gonna Ben Mee

      38 here and not happy with that!

    4. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      53. Giroud and Ospina.

  27. Torres76
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 days ago

    Sanchez and Ramsey with which one for DGW? Can't see them keeping cleanie at United in DGW.

    1. Bellerin
    2. Carzola
    3. Ozil
    4. Giroud

    Cheers

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

      4 - fancy Giroud to get a return against Swansea

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

    Pulled the trigger on Ramsey to avoid any price change shafting. Hope it pays off alongside my other two Arsenal attackers.

    Who for Sunderland though...

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

      Gomez?

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

        Was thinking him or Larsson.

        Gomez hasn't done much else this season though so the latter is more appealing?

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

          season doesn't matter, form does. he's been fairly decent, especially at that price point and is on pens.

  29. Delhidynamo
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 days ago

    With Wilshere doing that. I'm more confused about who to get alongside Sanchez. Ozil or Ramsey

    Ozil might get more minutes Ramsey might get more points

  30. Jebiga
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 days ago

    Who is better option cazorla or rambo ?
