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

    Should've player Harper over Ospina. Knew it, damn well knew it. My season is wrecked, that point was very important.

    Best 5.7m or less replacement for Ivan? Already have 2x Sunderland def.

    Need funds to afford Sanchez.

    1. Dušan Citizen

      Vlaar

  5. The EJJ

    Good GW turns into an average one after today's game, can't win them all I guess!

  6. Dušan Citizen
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 days ago

    Sterling to Ozil for -4?

    1. AK ⭐
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Not for Ozil.

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 days ago

        Think Ramsey may be rotated with Wilshire

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

          Yeah but Ramsey might still score more

        2. AK ⭐
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 3 days ago

          Game time doesn't really mean points. Ramsey just knows how to score in front of goal better.

    I finally finished the game of Where's Wally I've been playing for 3 months!

  8. Henrzd

    Ozil or Ramsey for DGW?

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

      Ramsey for me

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

        It's a real tough one........going to wait 1 more week I think

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

          It's best to wait, because the decision is always going to be a gamble.

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

            Yeahh good shout. Patience is underrated in FPL

      1. Henrzd

    1. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Well I've had both for ages so yeah

    2. Iceball

      They wont keep clean sheet that week

      1. The Gambler.
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 3 days ago

        Like HULL wouldnt in theirs?

  14. Pringle
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 days ago

    Sanchez + Giroud + Caz? Decent?

  15. andy85wsm
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 days ago

    Best midfielder for 4.6m or under? Grealish?

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

      Or albrington

      Grealish takes corners

  16. FPL Maldini
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    Who is more of a prioroty now?

    a) Sanchez (for Haz)

    b) Ramsey (for Coutinho)

  17. Redranger
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 days ago

    It's amazing what a good (C) can do for your GW. From a crap week into a great one.

    1. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years

      "Accidentally left capt on him"

    2. Doctor X
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Especially the ones where you captain them by accident eh.

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

        Makes it slightly more sweeter. Still would've been happy with Hazard who was gonna be my first choice.

  18. Torres76
    • 14 Years

    Hi all

    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

    47 points. Very poor considering 9 home players with good fixtures.

    1. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      49 for me

    2. Park the bus
      • 13 Years

      Scoutcast should be a delight this week then...

    3. Les Bleus
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Same here. Got 50 and disappointed. Fecking Liverpool and Chelsea players.

    4. AK ⭐
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Does sound poor that.

      70 here. Much needed green after a bunch of reds.

    5. The Gambler.
      • 14 Years

      61 despite ditching Silva

    6. Tommy J

    7. 11 Angry Men
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      42 points for me with 9 home players...very very poor indeed...

  20. World XI
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 days ago

    Sanchez ownership? *Gulps*

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

      About 35% in top 10k apparently.

    2. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      28.8%

  21. Park the bus
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 days ago

    Can someone confirm that it's highliy unlikely Sanchez / Ramsey / Fab / Sterling will move in price tonight?

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

      They won't

      Check fpl stats geeza

      1. Park the bus
        • 13 Years

        Checked but wasn't sure how erelaible they've been these days , cheers bud

    Total Defender Points : 495

    Defender PPG : 4.81 (from 103 defenders used)

    Total Midfield Points : 788

    Midfield PPG : 5.32 (from 148 midfielders used)

    Total Forward Points : 555

    Forward PPG : 6.24 (from 89 forwards used)

    Me

    Total Defender Points : 426

    Defender PPG : 4.06 (from 105 defenders used)

    Total Midfield Points : 783

    Midfield PPG : 5.67 (from 138 midfielders used)

    Total Forward Points : 578

    Forward PPG : 5.96 (from 97 forwards used)

    I think if you compare him to other teams his defensive PPG is far higher as well, and his captaincy stats are poor. So the main reason he's winning FPL is defence. His goalkeeper points are also good.

      How'd you get these stats?

      Wasn't it similar last season?

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

        No idea stats wise, but it may well of been. I suppose defence tends to be the most differentiated area when comparing top teams throughout the season.

  25. Mulla
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 days ago

    Already have Giroud, so....
    A). Sterling + Moreno »»»» Ramsey & Koscielny
    B) Sterling + Moreno »»»» Sanchez & Bellerin

    Will Bellerin get enough minutes is the ultimate question??

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

      B

      1. Mulla
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 days ago

        Is Debuchy out of equation for foreseeable future, can't see Chambers taking minutes off Bellerin on this form

  26. 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

    1. Mulla
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Tough one, think CHE likely to give squad players a chance now whereas ARSE have something to play for, A looks good imo

  27. Sp0rting

    Yeah I'm free, free fallin'

  28. Littlebitwizardoföz

    Who is more essential for the next GW?

    (a) Ramsey (Sterling out)
    (b) Benteke (Kane out)

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

      A

  29. The Machine
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 days ago

    Not a good game for wcers id imagine. Ruth had me convinced WCers were going to have the upper hand each of the last 5 weeks....

    1. @ocprodigy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Not a good gameweek for anyone without Sanchez and I've gone all season.

      1. Tommy J
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years

        I've done ok without Sanchez and Myhill on the bench-84 points-happy with that!

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

      Well done. Exactly the thing I wanted to do but did not have the balls to. Did Vardy > Giroud instead.
