Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Saturday

Saturday‘s early-afternoon fixture list serves up an embarrassment of riches, with twelve teams duking it out in the three o’clock kick-offs.

Manchester City play host to Watford in what could turn out to be a high-scoring affair for the league leaders. The Sky Blues have been in imperious form over the opening trio of Gameweeks, securing three successive victories and cleans sheets. Although no team has tallied more shots on target (24) across that stretch, the Hornets have proved to be surprisingly resilient at the back, conceding the fifth fewest number of shots inside the box (18).

Having bagged their first win of the season against West Bromwich Albion, Chelsea look to build some momentum as they invite Crystal Palace to Selhurst Park. The Blues registered just 11 shots on target and two big chances in the preceding Gameweeks, offering hope for the Eagles in their pursuit of a second away win this term.

Elsewhere, Liverpool endeavour to fill their boots at home to a West Ham United outfit that shipped four goals last time out. The Reds are yet to concede this campaign – having restricted their opposition to just two big chances – but will be wary of the Hammers’ threat after witnessing them record a 2-0 away win over Arsenal in Gameweek 1.

Aston Villa invite Sunderland to Villa Park, with the Black Cats searching for their first win of the season. Meanwhile, West Bromwich Albion make the journey to the Britannia Stadium to face off against a Stoke City outfit that’s ranked second for big chances (seven) this term.

Leicester City attempt to prolong their dream start when they pay visit to a buoyant Bournemouth. Only Man City have racked up more goals (eight) than the Foxes (seven), while the Cherries rattled four past the Irons last Gameweek, so this promises to be an end-to-end encounter with goals on the agenda.

    Which transfer seems best with both points and price rise in mind?
    1)Azpi--->Kolorov
    2)Azpi+Deeney--->Kolorov + Wilson(-4)
    So basically worth taking out Deeney(SWA) for Wilson(nor) for a -4??

    Is there some explanation why nobody is winning at home these days? Championship is full of away wins as well.

      Coincidence.

        At the moment I would agree but it is very unusual. West Ham's results are particularly strange.

    Come on Bentaleb ....Ozil has chosen you!

  10. Would an idiot do that?
    • 9 Years

    Worst week I've had in 2 seasons. Nothing but a Silva assist ugh

  11. Baines on Toast...
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Aguero has a history of blanking in games like this. Luckily nobody else is firing. I'll still captain him next week.

  12. Toast

    Currently on 36 with Gomis to play. I was thinking this was a complete WC fail...but that's my highest GW score so far. Should I cry or laugh?

    1. BabyB
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Solid score

  13. Stannage

    Myhill McCarthy
    Kolarov darmian francis huth Richards

  14. skeanos

    Cue kane hatrick and spuds CS. Chadli will of course be subbed off at 59 mins after an injury and a yellow card.

    Screw this season.

  15. Syd.
    • 14 Years

    Last week I had Wilson on the bench - 17 points

    This week I have Cresswell - 12 points

    1. Costa Nostra
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Shoulda used your bench boost.

    1. denial
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      1. Lallana's Bananas
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Dem were my thoughts. Was stuck between him and Dann

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

      WBA have great fixtures until GW12, Dawson looks the only nailed defender currently

  17. Jazz!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Chadli and Mane can only save my week

    1. Lingardium Leviosa.

        8 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks, came up with it myself!

        I'm just waiting for José to start complaining about this years omelette now... truth is the squad is perfectly adequate. Players need to start performing.

    3. ronmadpirlo

      Why would I sell one of my FPL team's highest scorers 😛

  19. Harper (No more Penandes)
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Lens is doing quite well. Seems to have gone completely under the radar.

    1. Would an idiot do that?
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Only thing stopping me is the team he plays for

      1. GreennRed
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Defence is so poor they'll rely on attack for points and he's their best attacker.

      2. Railwayman
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        This. Lens is very good player, but his team is 😮

  20. MagicMessi

    Rose scores and Spurs win 1-0, 10 euro bet = 2200 euro win!

    Rose scores 10 euro bet = 350 euro win!

    Walker scores 10 euro bet = 350 euro win!

    Toby scores 10 euro bet = 350 euro win!

  27. mgilbert86
    • 11 Years

    best forward to get under 8.2 if you have Wilson and Aguero?

  28. GAMBIT
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Who do we think is going to have a double rise before the next gameweek?

    Playing my wildcard, would appreciate a quick buck somewhere

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Wilson

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

      Pedro

      1. Como Park Rambler
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years

        When does the price protection come off?

    3. Como Park Rambler
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      It was only Wilson and Mahrez this week, so don't bank on much bank from WC. Wilson does seem a good shout to do it again, tho.

  29. Wilshere Knowledge

    Arsenal have had the most shots in the Premer League this season - 71 shots (3 goals, 2 of them own goals).
