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.

    Should have been a Deeney penalty instead of that goal.

    That feeling when you just turn on the game and your defender scores.

    Never take a hit to bring in a defender they said! Ignored and brought Holebas in for a hit this week 🙂

    Anyone worried everyone will sign him? #wasundertheradar

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

      Yep that is what im worried about now, he has been a differential for me so far! But after this goal i can see fellow ML teams transfering him in at some point

    Holebas is a FFS pick if there ever was one. Great work guys!

    Got a fiver on Watford 1-0 and Austin any time scorer

    Cash out now for 16 or let it run? - 97 if it comes in

    1. Bill Haverchuck
      • 11 Years

      Cashing out is probably the better decision, but I'd let it run for the thrill!

    What happened to PVA yesterday?

    1. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years

      Injured

  25. The Glory Hunters
    • 14 Years

    That's a reason not to have 3 expensive defenders.

    Holebas goal is even better than McShane at 4m keeping a clean sheet in DGW 2 seasons back

  29. Danstoke82

    I need Holebas.

  30. Les Bleus

    Here's to hoping Lovren won't play tomorrow (albeit very unlikely) to get Holebas off my bench.
