Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Saturday

After Manchester United’s devastating blast at Old Trafford, the Gameweek rolls on with a batch of six three o’clock kick-offs.

Once again there’s a rich cast of Fantasy talent on show, with Manchester City, Liverpool and Everton all in action.

Sergio Aguero is undoubtedly the headline act and, with Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s blank, his output at Swansea City comes under greater focus.

Brought in by more than 400,000 new Fantasy Premier League managers ahead of today’s deadline, 18% of all FPL managers back Aguero with the captaincy in South Wales.

The top 100 have certainly been quick to jump on the Argentine – 41 of them have immediately trusted him with the armband.

Much is expected of the Liverpool midfield. They host Hull City at Anfield with Philippe Coutinho, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane heavily backed for points.

Romelu Lukaku is another key asset on show as he makes the trip to Bournemouth. Now found in 19% of FPL squads, the Belgian starts and is captained by just 4%.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      It happened about 10 minutes ago, the physio probably doesn't know yet

  11. Venom Snake

        Same

  27. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    2 points from a defender is a good score this week

  28. The Tinkerman
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    So far...
    Foster - 2
    McAuley - 2
    Toby - 2
    Valencia - 2
    Bolasie - 2
    Ibra - 2
    Aguero - 26

    I give up on 442, nobody can defend. Time to shift back to 343 or 352.

    1. PvA
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Woah, forgot you went with the defender tactic

      Back to 343 then aye?

      1. The Tinkerman
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Yep. The only upside is I have 3 mids plus Bellerin left to play. Will have to take another hit this week to switch it up though, thanks to Baines.

      Hey Tinkerman! long time!

      3-5-2 looks like the best option right now..

      1. The Tinkerman
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        It's either 352 with Lallana, or 343 with Rashford (and Ibra).

  29. GoonerByron
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    2s all round other than Aguero (c).. Sanchez and Antonio to save the day?

    1. Cojiro
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I hope so

  30. Moin
