Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Saturday

After Chelsea’s dramatic win at the Etihad, there are five 3pm kick-offs to keep us ticking over.

Harry Kane carries the armband hopes of many Fantasy Premier League managers for Gameweek 14 – the Spurs forward earned 32% of the Captain Poll votes against a Swansea outfit that have conceded at three times in four of their six matches under Bob Bradley.

Second only to Kane for transfers up front since last week’s deadline, Southampton’s Charlie Austin travels to a Palace defence that have been breached in all 13 Gameweeks so far.

Jermain Defoe also earned plenty of new owners ahead of Sunderland’s home encounter with Leicester. The top value forward in FPL, he faces a defence that have conceded 16 times on their travels – no side have shipped more.

All three forwards have the chance to stake a claim as our Sergio Aguero replacement, in light of the City striker’s dismissal earlier today.

Over in the midlands, West Brom’s Matt Phillips looks to continue the form that has racked up two goals and three assists in the last three Gameweeks as Watford roll up to the Hawthorns.

Back from a one-match ban, Stoke’s Joe Allen is only named amongst the subs against a Burnley side that have conceded at least three times in all but one of their away matches.

    Strange question. Anyone else had their captain randomly change. It was on Sanchez last night. Checked around dinner time and for some reason it's on Jose fonte

      Sleep-tinkering is a horrible disease and isn't getting nearly enough attention in the media!

    Who's NOT doing Aguero -> Kane/Costa this week?

    A or B?

    Sanchez -> Hazard
    or
    Mané -> Hazard

    1. Sharpe Shuffle

      B

      Why ask this now? At least wait until they've both played this week

        Waiting till tomorrow would mean I had to wait out a price-rise for Hazard, which I think is unwise, since I am certain that I will have to get Haz in.

    For -4
    A) Upgrade Holebas
    B) Austin to Defoe

    What a dreamy goal. No way will he be a midfielder next year

    Have the exact cash for Walcott & Kun -> Haz & Costa (-4)

    Yay or nay?

    Will Aguero's suspension be 4 games for sure? Or it might be more?

      3 minimum he has form for this already this season. Taking him out is the only option imho as soon as possiblr

  10. M.A.G

    Is 3-5-2 The way to go now ?
    For -8 i can afford this
    Heaton/Pickford
    Cedric/Pieters/Brunt/Alonso/Amat
    Haz/Sanchez/Firmi/Siggy/Philips
    Costa/Kane/Anchiebe

    What do you think guys ?
