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.

        Lol

  12. Frank Black
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Milner looks more and more like an option even though he's a reverse OOP.

  13. Numb
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Best Liverpool mid to get?

    1. BlzE_94
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Mane

    2. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Cout and Mane double up IMO

    3. CostaCoffee
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Just a lottery.. Pick one and stick they'll all roughly score the same

      1. Epic Fail
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Might as well go with the cheapest one then.

    4. *sigh*
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Lallana 7.1 is the cheapest ticket in the lottery

    5. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Whoever scored most this week just gone.

    6. Johnny Drama
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Firmino

      😉

    7. Aston-villain
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      lallana imo. just didnt have the balls yesterday cos i see firm and cout as better players, but lallana seems instrumental in Klopps setup in terms of fpl

    8. Garlana
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Fir...I just have no idea... surely it has to be lallana based on value?

    9. Acquafresca
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Lallana.

    10. Frank Black
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Firmino
      Lallana
      Milner

      a solid 3 bonus pts!

      1. Royal5
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Must have been very attacking

  15. SirStevieG
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    As a Pool fan and Firmino owner, I can't see Bobby doing well fantasy wise unless Sturridge starts, which probably won't happen too often.

    Really considering knee-jerking him out.

    1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      if its a points lottery i guess go lallana and save cash

      1. thep025
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Same thought here....How did Lallana look?

        1. SirStevieG
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Dangerous, like the rest of our front-third, besides Bobby.

      2. The Taint Tickler
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Are his minutes a concern?

        1. SirStevieG
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          No Klopp loves him, but his role is different without Sturridge in the side. He barely got a look at goal being centrally.

    2. Garlana
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Last time I did this. He got a brace

      1. SirStevieG
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Probably will if Sturridge starts against Swansea, which is unlikely.

    3. Johnny Drama
      • 7 Years

      Why can't you see that?

  23. Ibralicious
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Zaha-> Coutinho for -4? (Firmino/Lallana a better pick?)

  24. Jay_
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Baines (!) Stones Holebas (!) Amat Wilson

      1m ITB.

      A) Baines > Bellerin -4
      B) Stones > Kosc -4
      C) Wilson > Lovren -4
      D) Don't take the hit, just play Stones (tot) and Amat (LIV) and hope one or both of Baines and Holebas get fit.

        They didn't!!! Only 3 of the overall top 10 had him their side, never mind Captain!!!

        Same in my mini league. Out of 20 only 5 went for him

    • Bushido
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Jaku for cech.
      Or Shaw/Valencia for Monreal/Koscielny.

    • Spg76
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Hazard, Sanchez and Costa in the same game. 0-0 would kill me

      1. Chucky
        • 10 Years
