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.

    Worth waiting for Coutinho news? Or are you selling him tonight?

    1. odannyboys
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      yes

    2. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 7 Years

      Sold. His ankle pretty much snapped off.

    3. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I haven't got him.

    4. nkhoughton
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      He's going down tonight and won't be playing next week beyond that I dunno but 0.2 drop is likely if you can afford to hold do it

    5. andymck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      He won't be playing next week so that's enough for me.

    6. Sharpe Shuffle
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Waiting only because I won't lose SV with this first fall

    7. Le _ Professeur
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Most are selling, I'm too

      1. Le _ Professeur
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        You should only wait if you won't lose selling value

  2. Chicken-Mandy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Anichebe, Sanchez and a 3.9 defender
    Or
    Austin, Walcott and Holebas?

    1. HVT
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      B

    2. GiveUsAChance
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      defo not holebas

    3. RD
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Try to squeeze Cedric instead of Holebas

  3. shirtless

    Guardiola has a lot to answer for! Sold Aguero instead of Lukaku for Ibra(c)... Ibra(c) Kun Austin would have looked sweet but having been on 9 this morning I guess all out on 51 is a decent recovery.

    Lukaku>Kane done and good riddance.

    1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Don't blame Guardiola.

  4. lickwidice
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Hazard + Defoe --> Kane + Sirgudsson for free?

    1. nkhoughton
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Ditching hazard is brave even for kane

    2. Ten Season Wonder
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      no i don't like that

    3. Differentiator
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Not keen on getting rid of Hazard tbh. Must have alternatives?

      1. lickwidice
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        See my team here... don't know what else to do. Costa --> Kane?

    Evening all...
    How did everyone do this week?
    Points please
    Winner gets a pat on the back
    I'll kick things off with 70

  6. F4L
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Lads, if 38 is the safety score for LMS, 38 is enough to get thru right?

    1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Yes

      1. F4L
        • 9 Years

        cheers, just squeezed thru

  7. Aladdin Sané
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    Anyone for Ozil over Walcott...?

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Nah.

  8. bangers and M*A*S*H
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Fer or Can as a fifth midfielder?

    1. Klopp's Kids
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Fer

    2. Ten Season Wonder
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I like Fer more than Can

    3. Differentiator
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Fer every day

    4. Aladdin Sané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Neither for me

    5. Lecky Legs FC
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Can

  9. Pino
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    In 13 GWs I have only twice had a good captain. I missed on both Agueros 2x goals, never had Sanchez and Costa. Down to 420k now 🙁

  10. Klopp's Kids
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Which one of Aguero, Sanchez, Hazard and Kane are you not going to own over this period?

    For me it looks like I'll be without Kane.

    1. nkhoughton
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Kun and maybe kane but trying to get kane, own hazard and Alexis

    2. Kante Be Bothered
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      aguero. I can get Costa Kane Sanchez Hazard and Mane with out aguero

    3. Aladdin Sané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Sanchez and Kane. Gulp.

    4. Brian (Not the Messiah)
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Costa is also in the 10mil+ bracket.

    5. PvA
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Sanchez, probably Kane too.

      • Le _ Professeur
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Unfortunatly Sanchez, haven't owned since the start of the season

      • 1966 was a great year for E…
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Hazard if anyone, but gonna try to squeeze them all in.

      • Klopp's Kids
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        For those with all 4, what is your team like then? Not much balance?

        1. fiveyears
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          I can't see how you could have balance, it's pretty much those four + basement players once a Liv mid is taken into account.

    7. Lecky Legs FC
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Just done Coutinho,Fuchs & Stanislas > Cedric,Pedro & Toure for a -4 had to have one differential in there 😉

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

        Yaya is the risk. Like Cedric and Pedro

        1. Lecky Legs FC
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          I know but I thought you'd be proud with me choosing a differential?! 🙁

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

            I like the Pedro differential 🙂

            Yaya is a bit of a rotation issue! I took a -12 last week and still somehow climbed 50k places, so who knows!

            1. Lecky Legs FC
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 6 months ago

              Pedro isn't a differential anymore I'd say lots of people are bringing him for GW 14 and onwards because they can't afford Hazard (myself included) let's hope the FPL fortune me with a Yaya haul in the next few GW's 😉

    8. Colonel Shoe 肝池

      sims the new enabler

      hope he gets a good run

      1. KISSES
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        What is his price?

        1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          4.5

      2. PvA
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Mate he's not even close to being nailed

    9. Brian (Not the Messiah)
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Are Grant and Pickford going to keep getting starts or are their days numbered?

      1. KISSES
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Pickford will, Motes has said as such. Only a matter if time for Butland to come back though.

        1. KISSES
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          *Moyes

      2. Sharpe Shuffle
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Pickford is 1st choice.

        Grant will lose his place to Butland at some point. Don't know when

    10. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Allen + Lukaku > Siggy + Defoe confirmed.

      Fuchs > VVD + Deeney + Austin are my next planned transfers.

      Are either of them worth a hit or just wait and do them 1 week at a time?

      1. MTPockets
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Don't think so, but then not sure about earlier ones to be honest.

      2. PvA

        • 10 Years

        Can't decide between Siggy and Pedro for a Coutinho replacement!

        1. Lecky Legs FC
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Pedro always

        2. Aladdin Sané
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      5. F4L
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Anyone think Kane isent worth it, even with those fixtures? Dont think its worth ripping apart my team for him...

        1. Aladdin Sané
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Not keen on him either. Won't be getting him in.

        2. Robe Wan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

        3. Sharpe Shuffle
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Can't have them all.

        4. Jude Rooney
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Can't afford everyone so Kane sits out until I get an injury to one of my big hitters

        5. MTPockets
            7 years, 6 months ago

            If I had lukaku, but I don't.

        6. gawa11
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          My transfer can go 1 of 2 ways this week

          Out - kun / cou / luk
          In - kane/ costa / firm

          Or

          Out - fuchs / cou / luk
          In - kane / firm / 4.0 def

          Both options are a minus 8, I am 1.6 mil ranked so prepared to take hits
          Other defs are vertongen, alonso, holebas, amat
          Thoughts?

            • 8 Years

          Hi everyone,

          Lukaku and Barry: OUT
          Kane and de Roon: IN

          for -4 worth it?

          Thanks!!

        9. TerryVenables
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Tough spot.
          (A) 3-5-2
          Walcott---sigurdsson---firmino---hazard---mane
          kane---Costa---diamande

          (B) 4-3-3
          Walcott--sigurdsson---firmino---hazard---de roon
          Aguero---Kane/Costa

          1. TerryVenables
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            B also has Austin

        10. DantheManinaPan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Considering Meyler + Rondon --> Pedro + Anichebe for a -4...

          What do people think? Already done Coutinho to Siggy

          1. InSaneMan-e
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            Nah keep rondon for the next fixture

        11. 8ball
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          should I get in Pedro or Walcott for Coutinho

          Hazard, Siggy, Firmino, Allen
          Kane, Kun, Anichebe

          1. gawa11
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            I'd go pedro

          2. Aladdin Sané
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            Walcott. Hazard is plenty Chelsea coverage.

        12. The Red Devil
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          A- Austin and Sanchez
          B- Benteke & Sanchez
          C- Costa & Theo
          D- Kane and Theo
          E- Ibra & Theo

          Decisions decisions!

          1. fiveyears
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            A or D for me, assuming you'd have Hazard too

            1. The Red Devil
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 6 months ago

              Yes, those two are my choices too, but which one?

        13. Kante Be Bothered
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          who will score more in the next few GWs

          A) Aguero Walcott
          or
          B) Kane Sanchez

        14. ★Kuntheman★
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          For those who don't have Kane, what's next GW's captaincy looking like? I'm thinking Aguero...

          1. Wilshere Knowledge
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            Thinking Costa. 😉 Apologies as you're a City fan. 😛

            Pep will probably go 3 up front on Chelsea's back 3, so I reckon it will be a game of Chelsea on the counter. COsta territory.

          2. Kante Be Bothered
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            I have Kane Costa Mane Sanchez Hazard 😉 I'll just roll a dice

        15. CarrollsPonytail
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          1FT.

          Who is more essential to get rid of: Coutinho or Lukaku?

            Obviously the injured player

            Coutinho. he can't score any points if he isn't on the pitch. I'd get Siggy if you don't have him already.

          I have made my FT Coutinho > Siggy.

          However I now see Stones is set to drop and he has been rubbish for me. Worth a -4 hit?

          if so
          A)Cedric
          B) Janmaat
          C)McAuley
          D) someone else at 5.0 or below, if below I will have cash to upgrade allen

          Team:
          Heaton
          Alonso Lovren Stones
          Hazard Sanchez Sigurdsson Allen
          Aguero Lukaku Austin

          Bench
          Pickford Kingsley Love McQueen (stop laughing McQueen got me a lofty point and will become a legend....)

          How does this plan look? (worth a -8 hit)

          Rashford > Kane
          Coutinho > Walcott
          Gundogan > Fer

          This will give me;

          Foster
          Rose - McAuley - Nyom
          Alexis - Hazard - Walcott - Allen
          Kun - (K)ane - Austin

          Subs; Pickford; Fer, Holebas, Kingsley.
