Dugout Discussion

Dugout Discussion – Sunday

Gameweek 13 is now brought to a conclusion with a couple of late Sunday afternoon kick-offs.

Manchester United entertain West Ham United at Old Trafford, with Zlatan Ibrahimovic back in contention after serving a one-match ban.

The big Swede notched twice in his previous league appearance and faces a defence that’s been breached 14 times in six road trips already.

Juan Mata, meanwhile, earned over 52,000 transfers in last week after bagging the opener at home to Arsenal.

Michail Antonio is the Hammers’ top scoring FPL asset, having served up a goal and assist in the last two Gameweeks. The midfielder has already netted against Man City, West Brom and Spurs away from home, though sits just one yellow shy of a single-match ban today.

Southampton and Everton go head-to-head at St Mary’s in the other 4.30 fixture.

The Saints’ defence kept Liverpool at bay last time out and could come under increased FPL interest if they can repel former manager Ronald Koeman’s Toffees.

Romelu Lukaku has netted just once in his last four league outings and suffered a price drop in the previous Gameweek.

With Man United, Arsenal and Liverpool in the next four, the Everton talisman needs a return to form this afternoon to stave off further transfers out.

    Is Firmino okay?

      He's sound.

      While Liverpool's medical staff do not believe there is any need for Firmino to have a scan on his calf, he is still set to be rested for the EFL Cup quarter-final tie.

    Eriksen, Pedro or Walcott for Coutinho? Already own Hazard

    1. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      If you don't own Sanchez then Walccot. If you own Sanchez too then Erikssen.

      1. Niemi
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Nah, did Sanchez>Coutinho(C) as a part of a hit.

  3. One Man
    • 7 Years

    What do people think of Pedro as an option?

    1. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Enabled me to get Costa who is in the points more than Hazard. So went for it

    2. Bubz
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Could be good. But think I prefer the Sigmeister

    3. Pompel
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Good alterantive to Costa, if spreading funds elsewhere

  6. TheTinman
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Repost new one Holebas and Firmino?

  7. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 8 Years

    1. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Diego

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

      Costaaa

    3. One Man
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      It would depend on your other midfielder or striker

  10. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    C) Pedro+Kane

    1. One Man
      • 7 Years

  11. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Essential Hazard has had only 2 shots on goal in the last 2 gw's

    1. Ten Season Wonder
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      He becomes essential from GW15 onwards

    2. ★Kuntheman★
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Played against two good defenses.

  12. Ten Season Wonder
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    I have 12.8m to spend on two midfield spots. What is the best combo?

    Current;
    (Alexis - Haz - ____ - _____- Allen)

    Siggy + 5.5m
    Theo + 5m
    other...

    1. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Who are you selling?

      1. Ten Season Wonder
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Coutinho & Gundogan

        1. GreennRed
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Get Sigurdsson. Don't drop points if you can play 11.

          1. Ten Season Wonder
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            Siggy and which 5.5m?

            I need to take a hit otherwise I can't get Kane

            1. GreennRed
              • 12 Years
              7 years, 5 months ago

              Don't get him or a 5.5m mid.

              1. Ten Season Wonder
                • 10 Years
                7 years, 5 months ago

                So shall I just keep Coutinho to rot my team up then yeah?

                1. GreennRed
                  • 12 Years
                  7 years, 5 months ago

                  Yeah. Or sell him for Sigurdsson as I suggested.

                  1. Ten Season Wonder
                    • 10 Years
                    7 years, 5 months ago

                    0.1 out hence reason for ditching both

  13. Mike2795647

    After a poor start with Coutinho as my captain. Today has been superb with a Sanchez brace, Wally and Austin goals, Cedric clean sheet and 9 bonus points, back up to 3rd in my my league with 71 points this week

  14. Viper
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Just so i'm clear, this is absolutely madness yeah?

    Coutinho, Lukaku, Hazard & Coleman -> Sanchez, Pedro, Kane & Cedric

    -12

    I've only taken one 4 point hit all season 😆

    1. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Lunacy. Put 11 players out and head down.

  15. Doar1986
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    on WC, Philips or Allen

    1. Ten Season Wonder
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      1. Doar1986
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        1. Ten Season Wonder
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          1. Doar1986
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            Had Lukaku Costa and Aguero since the start

            Now switching Lukaku to Kane

            just can't get Sanchez in but i have

            Siggy Hazard and Wally

            1. Ten Season Wonder
              • 10 Years
              7 years, 5 months ago

              tough one mate, flip a coin?

              1. Doar1986
                • 10 Years
                7 years, 5 months ago

                And which Chelsea defender, they are all similar money?

                1. Ten Season Wonder
                  • 10 Years
                  7 years, 5 months ago

                  Alonso or Luiz 🙂

  16. Assisting the assister
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Thinking Cout to Siggy and Fuchs to Cedric -4

    That's the plan....but keep changing my mind every few minutes so any reason not to make these changes tonight?

  17. Ten Season Wonder
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Siggy or Theo?

  18. pedro1979
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Current front line;

    Cout Sanchez Wally Firm Carrick
    Kun Austin Luk

    So, Cout and Luk out for sure - having no Spurs Chelsea, should I do Kane-siggy/pedro/pogba, or Costa plus any of those mids?

    No hit required - thanks guys...

  19. Camp No No

    Ok. Debuchy's hamstring injury "is a severe one", but according to Wenger, the only problem they have is Giroud's hamstring. Debuchy appreciates.

  20. Garlana
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Son way too risky? Not feeling the inconsistency of chadli and Erikson

  21. Virgil Hilts
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Pickford - Boruc
    Evans - Pieters - Morgan - Holebas - Amat
    Hazard - Firmino - Coutinho - Gundogan - Sanchez
    Augero - Lukaku - Anichebe

    2FTs .. and this for a -4?
    Gundog / Coutinho / Lukaku OUT
    Siggy / Can / Kane (c) IN

    Tonight to avoid price drops on the 3 going?

  22. Sigsgaard
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Kun, Lukaku, Redmond
    To
    Kane, Costa, wally/Siggy for -4? Have Sanchez

  23. Aguerrrooooooo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    What's people's thoughts on kane/Costa/kun front 3.i can get it with a - 4 leaving me with

    Pickford
    Holebas kone ward amat Evans
    Sanchez Allen Capoue firming siggy
    Kun Costa kane

    Defence is turd I know

  24. Ten Season Wonder
    • 10 Years

    Water worth a punt for next two?

  25. IEVGEN87
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Just realized was a knee-jerk to do Sanchez, Luka > Kane, Wally. Should do Hazard instead of Sanchez and Pedro instead of Wally. What'd you think?
