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.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

      That seems to have been a huge mistake. Fine if you want to upgrade to Hart, but he doesn't seem to be an upgrade.

    Costa is annoying the hell out of me. I am not going to buy him until he gets his 5th yellow and he is not going to get his 5th yellow and stop scoring until I buy him. It's a vicious circle, I'm doomed.

            Ah yeah, sold him for Ibra(c) right before WBA for a 4 point hit, would have captained Sanchez if I didn't: -16 (aguero) - 14(sanchez) - 4(hit) + 2*2(ibra) = -30 in the end. A great transfer that was.

      With Aguero out and his price so high, you can easily transfer him when he gets it, or ride a week with your bench.

      I don't own him and have no way of getting him in without restructuring, but it seems to be a no brainer from Aguero.

        As a Kun owner, have conflicted emotions about the red. And do you know what, I am slightly relieved. Kun vs Kane was causing me serious grief, couldn't have both and was sure having one without the other, the other would punish.

        Kun to Kane.

        So thank you Kun, great timing
