Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Middlesbrough vs Watford

Sunday’s events get off to a rather inauspicious start, with a Riverside Stadium encounter somewhat bereft of Fantasy interest.

Middlesbrough take on Watford in the lunchtime clash and, despite Alvaro Negredo heading into the match with more than 17% ownership; it’s a good bet that many of those FPL managers have long since taken their hands off their teams.

Negredo is recalled to the ‘Boro starting line-up as he looks to break a run of five Premier League appearances without a goal or an assist.

There is certainly more interest in the Hornets’ assets, with Troy Deeney presenting arguably the most likely source of points in today’s encounter.

The Watford skipper has notched three goals in his last four and leads the line backed by 8.2% ownership.

We’ll also be monitoring the progress of Jose Holebas at left wing-back, with the Greek still just a single yellow card away from a one-match ban.

Equally, Issac Success’ performance will be of interest – the Nigerian ousts his compatriot Odion Ighalo to the bench today to take his place in what looks to be a 3-5-2 setup from Walter Mazzarri.

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

    Sell Capoue or Snoddy first ? Thinking of roping in Allen
    Other 3 midfielders are Antonio, Sanchez, Firmino

    1. Brap.

      Same boat brother

      Minus 4 to get in Allen and Stanislav..?

        🙂 I am not so sure bout Stanislas for this week as they face Spurs. But after that game yes I am thinking of getting him or Wilson (for Rondon). Stanislas for a hit now doesn't seem good.
        Capoue to Allen i feel like. Snoddy I might keep as of now as he is on set pieces and better fixtures.

      Snoddy with a good home fixture. Do Capoue to Allen

      1. Brap.

        Said it before and will again….Hull don't have any good fixtures: they're Hull

    Would you do Antonio + Deeney -> Walcott + Wilson on a free?

    1. xtremesid
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Yes

    2. JIM BOB
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Wilson has a tough fixture next

    3. Rolls-Royce
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Just Deeney -> Wilson.

    Bringing in Holebas this week even for a hit would have paid off

    1. Gianfranco Sola
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

    2. Reedy
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I did that 🙂

      To be fair I felt the hit was for Payet though.

    It's a lot less of a worry about conceding when you have a goal and baps banked 🙂

    What are Capoue and Holebas fighting over? I think they both captained themselves in FPL. Capoue isn't happy
