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.

    If you are worried that Kane and Cedric might be rising, I am happy to say that I have contributed to their NTI.

    And for a super differential, welcome Paul Pogba!

      Top of the page with a -8, nice!

    Is this a panic reaction to today's 2 goal Sanchez & wanting to get Kane as well.
    It involves a -12 hit.

    Fuchs, Hazard, Coutinho, Rondon out - Cedric, Sanchez, De Roon, Kane in

    Foster
    Alonso, Cedric, Pieters
    Sanchez, Firmino, Siggy, Allen
    Aguero, Kane (c), Costa

    Jaku, De Roon, Holebas, Amat

    Thanks.

    Dont you think that Pogba could be better option than Alli/Eriksen at almost the same price?

    Or he is playing too deep? Or united just cant score many? Didnt see united today, how is he lookin?

    1. tm245
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I just got him instead of the Tottenham guys. Good fixtures, attacking enough, nailed on for the holiday fixtures, though Eriksen and Alli are both good picks IMO.

    Is it wise to get Walcott in when his Mrs is due to have a baby?

    1. horhekz

      Baby is born yesterday

    Early congratulations to whoever draws me in the next round of the cup, reckon I'll be on a -8 at least.

    1. Bolivian Seaman

          How's the season going ?

            • 11 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            Mixed, but only my mini league that's important to me this year anyways. Not been paying close enough attention to all the games to take it too seriously this time round. Mini league is turning into a good old scrap though.

            1. Fifa las vegas
              • 11 Years
              7 years, 6 months ago

              Looking at the obviuos move of Lukaku to Kane next week. Want Williams to Cedric too but might have to wait a week as Coutinho needs sorting.

              How's it going for yourself?

              1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…

                7 years, 6 months ago

                Grand I am doing alright for a change . I am thinking something similar Lukaku > Kane/Costa looks like the obvious move and probably Siggy for Cout . I got Cedric in this week so it's nice to be ahead of the curve for a change 🙂

    Vertonghen Holebas Pieters Evans Amat
    Hazard Sanchez Siggy Firmino Capoue
    Aguero Lukaku Diomande

    Lukaku to Kane seems the obvious move. Any reason not to do it or any thoughts on an alternative transfer

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

      The ultimate obvious choice. Do it

      1. The Left Duke #3
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Ya I feel I need to in order to have a solid capt pick next week....which will inevitably lead to a blank 😉

        Only other move I can think is Nergedo in for Diomande as he's home to a poor Hull side

  10. Z
    • 7 Years

    Best Midfield option under 8.8?
    (excluding Sigurdsson & Firmino)

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm

      Pedro?

    Will Sanchez play in the cup.on Tuesday??

    I have the exact funds to do Mata > Alexis but not sure whether yo wait til after this game

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

      You'd think so at this stage

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

      I doubt it.

    3. tm245

      I can't see it.

      1. HuttonDressedasLahm

        Yay!

  14. For Fuchs Sake
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Kane or Costa?

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

      I'm going Kane.

      three home games in next 4 looks too juicy

    2. Rh4ziel
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I cant see the point bringing in Costa when he has 4 YC, get Kane, and if he underperforms and Costa serves his ban then its a easy swap.

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

    What does this look like? worth a -8?

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

    Subs; Pickford; Fer, Holebas, Kingsley.
    .
    .
    Rashford > Kane
    Coutinho > Walcott
    Gundogan > Fer

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

      Fer is points chasing IMO

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

        I have 5m to spend on someone.

        or to put it differently, I have 12.8m to spend on two midfield spots. (the others I own are - Alexis - Haz - Allen)

    2. Rh4ziel
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Looks great, i would do it 🙂 Gundogan > Fer to afford the other 2 i assume?

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

        That's right mate. Or I could get Siggy and a 5.5m mid... what is best?

  16. Rh4ziel
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Foster (Pickford)
    Evans - Cedric - Pieters (Holebas - Amat)
    Hazard - Sanchez - Siggy - Walcott (Fletcher)
    Aguero - Kane(C) - Austin

    GTG?

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

      That's some team.

  17. Assisting the assister
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    What about Haz and Couts > Sanchez and Pedro -4

    Any good? Slightly knee jerky on Sanchez but hey...

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

      Lukaku to Kane last week so I'm +1.

  18. popcoin
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    So, my transfers came to a total of -17 points worse off than making no transfers.

    Can anyone better (worse) that?

  19. That Fantasy Guy
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Lukaku and Coutinho likely drop.

    I want kane which leaves me with 7.2.

    Best mid at 7.2?

    My other mids are firmino walcott hazard de roon currently

    Thanks

    1. FAITHNOMORENO
      • 12 Years

      Sigurdsson..just

  20. ankil2009
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Best replacement for Cout (Budget: 8.4):
    A. Walcott
    B. Alli
    C. Eriksen
    D. Siggy
    E. Pedro

    1. That Fantasy Guy
      • 9 Years

      D for me

    2. Viper
      • 14 Years

      I think i'm going for Walcott

    0.0 itb 1Ft

    A) Coutiniho 8.6 to Walcott

    • 11 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Who should I trade in for Coutinho
    A.Eriksen
    B.Fer
    C.Alli

    My other mids Walcott, Hazard, Siggy, Redmond

  23. Crab Bap
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Williams, Lukaku & Coutinho all dropping.

    Can switch for -8 for Kane, Alonso and 6.3

    Who is best for 6.3? A sound long term move?

  24. Bubz
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Looks like my time with Giroud in my team has come to an end after just one gameweek 😆

    Still, he scored 3 more points than Lukaku so meh. Now to figure out how to get Kane in.

    1. Jam0sh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      😀

    2. tm245
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Exact same here -- it was a one week punt before Kane, so I can't complain with an assist in 15 minutes, though I was hoping for a big score considering the fixture.

    3. CloudSky
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Do you reckon he wont get more mins next week because of the cup?

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

        He's injured

  25. Viper
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    I've narrowed my transfer options down. I feel like this is going to be a big decision.

    A. Coutinho & Lukaku -> Walcott & Kane

    B. Coutinho & Lukaku -> Sanchez & Benteke (Any 7.7m striker, I have Austin)

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

      Swanse, hull and burnley at home in the next 4 fixtures for kane. Can't look past that

    2. Bolivian Seaman
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      A. I have B with bony at home to burnley but I might prefer kane

  26. drughi
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Deeney and coutinho > Kane and milner done. Kane captain 🙂

    1. FAITHNOMORENO
      • 12 Years

    2. bojack

      Hope so as he's my 4th mid right now.

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

    My squad as it stands:

    Grant
    Fuchs McAuley & Williams
    Coutinho(!) Mane Sanchez Stanislas
    Austin Aguero (C) Costa

    Subs:Pickford,De Roon,Holebas & Love

    Choose one option and who you think will score the most points in the next few GW's?

    A) Coutinho,Fuchs & Stanislas > Cedric,Pedro & Toure

    B) Coutinho,Fuchs & Stanislas > Cedric,Hazard & Can

    C) Coutinho,Fuchs & Stanislas > Hazard,Pieters & Phillips

    D) Coutinho,Fuchs & Stanislas > Cedric,Kante & Hazard

  29. SheBangsTheDrums
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Just took a hit to get rid of Cout and Lukaku to bring in Kane and Pedro.

    Smart or stupid?

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

      Looks good

    2. Fifa las vegas

  30. AF90
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Gundogan, Coutinho & Lukaku OUT for De Roon (save money) Firmino & Kane -4??

    Only thing stopping me is I have no Chelsea coverage & wont be able to get Hazard in the coming weeks if I do this.
