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.

    A or B gents - 2Fts.

    A) Costa + zaha (already have haz)

    B) Kane + Capoue / Fer (have no spurs coverage)

    Tempted by A, but feel as I've already got hazard and with tough fixtures coming up for palace, B might be better?

    Appreciate any thoughts

    Giroud is a legend, comes off the bench with perfectly coiffured hair, sets up Alexis then does his hammy to ensure the Chilean genius reamins up front

      I feel really bad for laughing at this

        bonus point if you can guess who my cap was 😆

          Don't go there I removed it off him and went Firminho 🙁

  3. Bolivian Seaman

    Bony H vs Swansea, would you keep him for one game?

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      he was dropped today and they played well without him, can't see him getting back in

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

        Arnie worth keeping Bemba?

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      plus he doesn't play swansea he plays Burnley

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

        I think he was dropped because there was no allen buzzing around. They played walters to balance the team

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

          actually diouf played instead, damn

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

      Swansea?

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

      He already got his 2 goals against them.

  4. Leaf

    Coutinho & Stones to Eriksen & Cedric done

    Means keeping Sanchez , Aguero

    But also means no Kane 🙁

    1. Dušan Citizen
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I am without both Sanchez and Kane

    2. Leaf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      People without Kane

      Just who to captain
      Sanchez
      Aguero
      Eriksen !!!

  5. Dušan Citizen
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Decided to get Eriksen for Coutinho and go without Kane.

    Eriksen looked much better than him, and every goal which Kane scored was pretty easy. 2 pens and 1 by accident.

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

      true but kane is a good player and he has a good run of games up next.....seems a good punt

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

    Whos the best option for next month or 2

    Siggy or Walcott

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

      Sigg

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

        Any reason why?

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

          Fixtures and rotation

    2. youknowho
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Siggy i feel might edge him out , goals at arsenal will get shared, but at swansea it's gonna involve siggy for sure.

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

    Nobody know chilli bowl scores?

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

    Would you rather have?
    A) Pedro+Costa
    B) Hazard+Austin

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

      B

    2. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Austin fixtures are lovely but I think Pedro and Costa have more points potential as a combination

    3. Carlton P
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      A easily

  9. mr. inconspicuous
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    please help guys, I have 2 FT's and need 1.2 to fund Lukaku for Kane.

    Current team :-

    Pickford Boruc

    Stones Lovren Holebas Evans Amat

    Capoue Gundogan Hazard Sanchez Firmino

    Austin Lukaku Aguero

    How can I free up 1.2? thinking I will need to lose one of Hazard, Sanchez or Firmino but who?

    Any help appreciated guys.

    1. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Hazard to Pedro?

      1. mr. inconspicuous
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah I think was thinking that, what about Sanchez to Walcot?

        1. Van der Faart
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Sanchez I feel is a better choice than Hazard presently.

          Look at it this way though, which combo do you think does better; Hazard and Walcott or Sanchez and Pedro

      2. Carlton P
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        This and then use funds to upgrade gundog

        1. mr. inconspicuous
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Sanchez to Walcot?

    2. youknowho
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Hazard to Mane and you have a imba team.

  10. Van der Faart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Last season I took a total of 24 points in transfer hits

    This season I've already taken 32. Oh dear

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

    I'm starting to feel hat aguero isn't worth the money and I can always readjust the team for the winter wc. Is lukaku, aguero, allen-> Kane, Austin, hazard worth a -4? Allen is a 4th mid

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

      Only ones worth the money this season are Couthino and Firmino ... both flagged

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

      Yes

  12. Pompel
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Just getting that sneaky feeling Lukaku will score well against United .....

    1. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Probably yes as I've just sold him

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      everton are awful and lukaku hasn't had a shot on target in like 3 weeks

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

        Thanks Bemba, just the extra kick in the a**e I needed to get rid of him now 🙂 !

  13. Kiwivillan

    Coutinho>Can FT. Front 7 this week would be

    Sanchez Hazard Firmino Can
    Aguero Anichebe Austin

    1. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      What in the name of God has led you to choose Can?

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

        Look at his stats

  14. JIM BOB
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Any chance of Llorente getting a run of starts?

    Would be a great cheap enabler for those juicy fixtures.

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

      Was going to get him in last week but was worried about minutes so got Anichebe. Nice run after next week

  15. samaael
    • 13 Years

    how is god's name do I score 32 with this team?

    2. Shultan

    2. The Nuttman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      I think you should ditch siggy for siggy 😉

        He will deliver I reckon!

    Hope jonty gets rid of the non millionaires from the millionares league

  20. D0GS B0110XS FC
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    im stuck guys can you help? austin and coutinho out for kane and phillips giving me aguero, costa and lane upfront or b - costa and coutinho out for kane and siggy. currently have firminho and hazard in mid also??

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

      Why would you get rid of costa when he's the most consistent goal scorer?

      1. D0GS B0110XS FC
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        then that leaves me with austin and coutinho out for kane and phillips. what u think?

  21. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Evans to Cedric worth a -4 as a long term investment? Can't see where I'd ever do this on a free before Christmas.

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

      Not this week, Jevan the better fxtire.

  22. Karan14
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Best option?

    Sanchez - Hazard - Firmino - Siggy - ____

    A) Erikssen

    B) Alli

    Appreciate your thoughts!

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

      B all day long (As a Spurs fan)

      1. Karan14
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        There's a huge difference in Alli for 5.3m and for 8.1m.
        On top that Erikssen did outscore him by the end of the season.

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

          Alli didn't play anywhere near the full season. Pro-rata it and see the difference in numbers

    2. Jacket Potato
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      A

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

    I'll ask one more time to try & gain as much opinion as possible. I feel like it's an important decision

    A. Sanchez & Benteke (Any 7.7m striker, not Austin)

    B. Walcott & Kane

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

      B marginallly tho I prefer Sanchez/Kane if possible

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

        Only possible if I move Hazard out for a hit

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

          Hazard worth holding for 15 on, low tv or money in defence?

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

            Koscielny & Coleman in defence

  24. Jacket Potato
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Would you rather?
    A) Kane + Sanchez
    B) Kun + Walcott

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

      A

  25. Baked baines
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Would you do a -8 for

    Lukaku & Coutinho for Costa & Siggy

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

      I love those moves, but hard to justify for a -8. IT might feel right, but seriously doubt that -8 pays off in the near term. Therefore, just stagger the transfers across a couple of weeks trying to use FTs

  26. AFC49
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Coutinho >> Walcott or Siggy?

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

      Siggy.
      Walcott was poor today

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

      Alli if you are happy to look elsewhere. Otherwise it's a coin toss

    3. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Sig

    4. GreennRed

    5. Concrete
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Walcott

      Siggy week after

  27. RVP20
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Hi guys. Current team is:

    Pickford - Grant
    Walker - Lovren - Williams - Holebas - Amat
    Hazard - Firmino - Coutinho - Siggy - Allen
    Aguero - Lukaku - Austin
    1FT - 3.3ITB

    I have Williams, Coutinho and Lukaku dropping tonight.

    Should I do Williams, Coutinho & Lukaku > Alonso , Walcott & Kane for -8? (Leaves 0ITB)

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

    My changes are all finalised how's this squad for GW 14 and onwards:

    Grant
    Cedric McAuley Williams
    Mane Pedro Sanchez Toure
    Austin Aguero (C) Costa (VC)

    Subs: Pickford,De Roon,Holebas & Love

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

      different, but I like it!

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

        Thanks Champione

    2. fedolefan
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Yaya!! That Williams guy. I hate him.

  29. Beavis
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    What do people think of Pedro as an option?

    1. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Good option if your preferred 3 Chelsea players aren't Alonso, Hazard & Costa.

    2. Champione
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Amazing form, but a player like Willian has to get some games during Christmas, doesn't he? As a Mata owner, I don't recommend having a player which usually gets subbed off. Siggy on the other hand will play 90 mins every game

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

    News on firmino and Holebas?

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

      Firmino will be fine I believe. Think Klopp has a presser tomorrow before the Carling cup match. Don't think it was something very serious with Holebas, just subbed because of a combination of poor game + potential red card + a little knock
