Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Southampton vs Burnley

Sunday’s events conclude at St Mary’s as Southampton play host to Sean Dyche’s Burnley.

The Saints will be seeking a fourth consecutive clean sheet in the Premier League, a seventh in a row in all competitions.

Visitors Burnley will need to improve their attacking threat in order to threaten that record. The Clarets have scored just five goals from their seven matches, creating three big chances – the fewest in the Premier Leauge.

The Saints attack has disappointed with just seven goals scored in their seven matches. However, the statistics show that they have the potential to improve on that record in this one: Claude Puel’s side have produced a shot on goal every 4.8 minutes at St Mary’s – only Liverpool have been more threatening in home matches this season.

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

    If it stays as is, does anyone get the winning goal baps?

    1. Backup Dancer
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Redmond

    2. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      How is this hard to understand? If it finishes 3-1, then Southampton's second is the decisive goal.

    Austin owners we benching against city then?

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

      No, i have Capoue for that.

    2. Jasoooooooo
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Nope, he can stay on my field

    3. Lecky Legs FC

      No City will win but concede a goal somewhere that could be Austin with the goal im keeping him in the squad.

      Never ever bench Austin. He's fixture proof. Can score against anyone and is on pens. Sure, he's more likely to get 2 points but it'll be a better two points than say Capoue.

    Went Bellerin & Diomande (to play 352) over Mustafi & Austin with my 2 FT this week and have Holebas 1st sub.....today is not a good day

      me too bro. posted similar story below.

      1. The Left Duke #3
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        I think the misses are harder to handle than the ones you actually hit. Tough game

  4. kapulasta
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Benteke to Austin my best transfer this season so far

  5. Norfolk&Chance
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Antonio - are we keeping for Sunderland game?

    1. Backup Dancer
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I'm not

    2. Woy of the Wovers
      • 13 Years

      Not sure he posts on FFS

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

        Just take my upvote

    3. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I'm giving him one more GW as it stands now. 2 FTs to try and get KDB in for GW10

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

        You reckon he's definitely worth the extra outlay over Sterling, especially given the tight funds this year?

        1. RoysCallerAnne
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Yes

    4. Les Bleus
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Nope. Just need to find a straight swap for a FT. Can't afford Son or Wally

    5. jayzico
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Just got rid for genius stanislas. Feels good.

  6. Cilly Bonnolly
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    I'll try again. Antonio to Milner a decent shout? Already got Firmino.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Ask after the game tomorrow.

  7. gers23
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Best replacement for Tadic?

    A) Iwobi for free

    B) Walcott for a hit

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

      C) Arnautovic?

      O/w. Walcott for a hit

  8. Lav
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    What transfers do I do for GW 9 with this team?

    Foster Pickford
    Vertonghen Williams Reid Friend Wilson
    Sanchez Sterling Firmino Snodgrass Capoue
    Aguero Lukaku Benteke

    1. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Doesn't need much. Could save it.

    2. LC1
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Save

  9. Plagued by indecision
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Who's for the chop? Stones, Jakupovic, Antonio, Capoue (maybe) and Rashford on current assessment. Not all priorities.

    1. Les Bleus
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      If Capoue is your 4th mid, then he needs to go. Otherwise, Antonio

  10. MrMaverick
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Heaton currently on 8 saves, 1 more save PLEASE for 3 save pts

    1. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      They've resorted to ballooning it over the bar instead of passing it to Heaton 🙂

  11. Viprin

      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

  12. GHB
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    One more save please Heaton

  13. Van der Faart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    Damn, 30k places dropped due to that Burnley goal. Sickening.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      WBA conceding weekly is sickening.

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Driving me mad.

    2. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I went up 500

  14. Hurricane Gilbert
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Still think C Wilson is the better pick short term, with Austin's fixtures coming up (unless you rotate him) 😉

  15. hafakilo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    A lot of people said they were going to captain Tadic, did anyone actually do it?
    coz it's still better than Aguero

  16. Reed_Rothchild
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Who is a good replacement for Johnny Evans or should we hold?

    1. Les Bleus
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Holebas, Smith or Cameron.

    2. fiveyears
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Benching him as my defence works okay at the moment fixture wise, was the plan anyway because the fixtures are awful for WBA and then turn good again.

  17. jayzico
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Holebas on my bench. Son and Kun with a joint score of 0 on my field.

    Sometimes I really hate this game.

  23. Ha.
    • 8 Years

    Defoe > Austin or Wilson?

    1. fiveyears
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Think Wilson could do better over the next 3, but mid-term Austin will get goals if he's in form. So Austin for me.

  24. GHB
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    9th save, love Heaton

  25. fedolefan
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    9 saves for Heaton. I need him instead of Jaku

  26. Bolivian Seaman
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    What we've learnt

    -Burnley are awful away from home, concede about 3 goals
    -Southampton are flat track bullies against bad teams

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

    What a save

  28. Karan14
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

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

      For sure, unless Vokes scores another.

  29. fedolefan
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Another Heaton save.

  30. bombayblues

    • 11 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Got the following team:

    Heaton. Pickford
    Koscielny. Holebas. Amat. Coleman. Smith
    Antonio. Capoue. Sanchez. Son. Mane
    Aguero. Lukaku. Diomande

    1.2 ITB. 1 FT
    1. Capoue - Allen
    2. Antonio - Walcott
    3. Capoue + Antonio = Allen + Walcott

    Would appreciate any help
