Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Southampton vs Everton

Saturday’s events get underway with a clash between Southampton and Everton at St Mary’s this lunchtime. Both sides are looking for a first win of the new campaign after registering 2-2 draws with Newcastle and Watford last weekend.

The Saints proved a reliable source of defensive returns at home last year, chalking up 11 clean sheets in front of their own fans and conceding a mere 13 times – only Chelsea (nine) proved more miserly.

After netting twice at St James’ Park last week, they’ll be looking to take advantage of a Toffees backline devoid of the injured Leighton Baines. Certainly, given that the visitors managed just two clean sheets on their travels last season, those backing the Saints at both ends of the pitch will fancy their chances of getting amongst the points.

    Everton don't believe in marking at set pieces.

    Those of you wanting to wildcard considering the season so far, hold on until after gw4:

    * Transfer window is closed
    * Good timing to get rid of Chelsea defenders
    * Saints still got 2 'easy' games ahead
    * More information about the fitness of big hitters like Hazard Sanchez Aguero
    * Liverpool starts a good run of fixtures after the Man United game
    * We'll know more about the KDB saga
    ...

    Dutch philosophy is not the way to FPL points

    Scout fav Mane is terrible value at 8.0

    Sorry owners but 6.0 tops is a releastic value IMO

      You know nothing

      Terrible comment.

      Yeah, does feel a bit overpriced now. I had him for Portugal U21's Euro team and he did nothing..

      lol. as an owner of Mane for most of last season i'd say he is easily worth 7.5 to 8(considering the way Ozil et al priced) and can be frustrating to own but will get you points in the long run. I could not do it to myself again so ignored him this season

    5. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Yeah he is shockingly priced

      Scored or assisted 50% of Southampton's goals last season. I'd rather go on that than two matches so far this term.

      1. Jazz!

        This.

    I can see Ross Barkley going on an improbably long run of points, with FFS avoiding and casuals rejoicing.

    1. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Yeah could happen

    2. Thick Of It
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      He has been the focal point whilst Lukaku has done nowt, thus far, in the 2nd half.

      Shhhhhhh

    4. sozopol

      MCI, tot, CHE next 3 though

      1. Ludo
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Exactly. We'll ignore him because of the fixtures, he'll carry on doing well regardless.

    5. Valar(Keith)
      • 14 Years

      Many of my ML rivals got Kone in.. expect him to get 10 goals 10 assists this season now 🙁

    6. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      how much is he again?

      1. Ludo
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        6.5 I think.

  7. The Raging Bull
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    surely Pelle's got to get ONE on target?

    1. FrancescoLazio
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      He has already

  8. Colonel Klink
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    B. Johnson bench?

  9. Chenku╰☆╮

    Mane's value was beefed up thanks to FFS love and price predictions. He was max 7m player imo and would have been a good one too.. time to get rid..

    1. Ayew Serious
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      You know nothing

    2. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Look at his January to May form. He did it himself.

    3. SW6
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      That hat-trick at the end of last season added 0.5 onto his price by itself.

      1. 1966 was a great year for E…
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        At least 0.5.

  10. Forza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Still waiting for a goal, assist or CS this season... 12 matches in.

    1. Moin

    1. OPTA FPL
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      he often plaed well on the righ, dont know why Koeman playing him on the left

      1. Duke Silver ☑
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        He's a CF. He shouldn't be playing him on the left or the right.

  21. Moin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Why Doesn't Trippier start? he should've joined some other team!

    1. Venom Snake
      • 10 Years

      • 14 Years

  25. Duke Silver ☑

    C'mon Mané just the one goal will do.

  26. Wouter
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    This Southampton defence is making Lukaku and Kone looking like Messi and Suarez...

  27. SW6
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Kone's price is interesting..

    1. BrockLanders
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Trolltastic at that price

    2. nerazurro5
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      So are Everton's next 3 fixtures :))

  28. Dynamic Duos
    • 10 Years

    Well what a Waste time Cedric and Mane are, feel sorry anyone that has (c) Pelle or Mane.

  29. Thick Of It
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Barkley very low on bps (14) at the mo. Is that mainly the booking or has he been missing a lot of passes?

    1. BrockLanders
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Noticed that earlier. Never keen on a low bap man

  30. Telpuialion
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Wondering if I should do Cedric > Shaw. Would need the extra 0.5 from somewhere. Maybe Mahrez > Albrighton. Hmm will have to see.

    1. Valar(Keith)
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      You'll want Toby after 2.45 hours

      1. Telpuialion
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Fair enough. I am not gonna be making my transfer anytime soon. Just thinking about a plan.
