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.

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

    Early Kun transfer thoughts? Easy Costa here, been killing me

    1. 4. Arsenal FC
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Between Costa and Kane for me

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

      I'm doing after today's games as it looks like Costa is set to rise. Doesn't look like he's actually injured, just cramp

    3. Tansey

      yup easily. i look at his returns on the History tab since GW1 and wonder how I've ignored him

    4. Z

      Get Costa now and maybe move to Ibra if he gets his 5th YC

      Cheers guys; already have Kane so will make the move later

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

      Kane probably, but Costa isn't an option for me cos I ban him from my team.
      A v.good shout otherwise.

    Eriksen given the assist 🙂

    But will it stay?

  5. KeepCalm

    What a goal sun

  6. Ógie

    No way they can give Erikssen a assist for that came off two players before coming to Son

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      the last was Eriksen?

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

      stfu

    3. 8ball
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      came off Eriksen last

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

    GET IN!

    ERIKSEN ASSIST ADDED! WELL DONE CAPTAIN!

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Until it gets removed.

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

        Go away

          😀

  8. La Roja
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Danny rose down

  9. Coaly
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Son is trash

  10. Wild Rover
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Didn't see the Son goal but Le Tiss said Eriksen shot bounced off two players so assist unlikely

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

      There's something wrong with FPL's consistency if that assist is removed.

  11. ZLATAN'S PONYTAIL
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    how is that an assist for Eriksen!

  12. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    What 'gate' is it this GW? Eriksen gate?

  13. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Specsavers needed for a few here 😛

  14. Karan14
    • 8 Years

    Has to be Erikssen assist. Even Hazard got one of a blocked shot few weeks ago

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

      You think FPL are consistent? 😀

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

        No that's the problem. Hope they are.

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

    Great, 10 minutes of arguing about an assist incoming.

  16. liiusions
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Fuchs hits the bar. That would have been the ultimate insult if he scored after I had him for the last 3 weeks and got 1 point from him

  17. Kaneyonero
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Lukaku assist added

    1. some witty pun
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      never doubted it get in

  18. Coaly
    • 11 Years

    Southampton ruining my accas, every other team 2-0 up 🙁

  19. CABAYE4
    • 12 Years

    4 CS's at H/T, I'm betting none at F/T.

    I really want to cry

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

      Eriksen but it took 2 deflections off swansea defenders

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

        Thx

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Eriksen

    3. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Swans defender

    4. Point-one short
      • 7 Years

      Didn't look like anu assist - Eriksen attempted pass bouncing off defenders heel to son

    Spurs gifted yet another penalty this season. 10 in 11 games now. Majority of them were given for absolutely nothing either.

  24. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Aguero > Costa?

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

      More than likely on my part

    2. Costa's Counsellor
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Could be a million of those.

    3. 4. Arsenal FC
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      That or Aguero --> Kane

    4. liiusions
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Yes

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

      Under no-brainer in the dictionary, it says: Aguero > Costa

    6. *sigh*
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah that's where I'm going

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

    Points check?

    37 at the halftime from 9.

    1. Crouching Tiger
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      35 plus baps

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

      28 from 6

    3. PÍE
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      28 from 8 (without any BP''s)

    4. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      40 from 8 pre baps including Kane (c)

  26. Costa's Counsellor
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    This is nonsense. I'm certain that was a Kane assist.

  27. Now I'm Panicking
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Aguero red flagged - "suspended until 31st December" - they've called it as a 4 game ban

    1. Costa's Counsellor
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Deserves the extra game.

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

      Interesting, it said the GW before that earlier

  28. TheSteel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    What did everyone make of that Fabergas reaction? Professional or cowardly?

    1. some witty pun
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      he probably said something to provoke Fernandinho, and was awaiting the actions from him

    2. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Grave of him to attack the crowd single handidly 🙂

      1. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Brave

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

      Professional not reacting. Pathetic for looking at and then falling over the boarding.

    4. makaveli123
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Latter

    5. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I can see him been called out about it by the FA

    6. Dimen
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Calculating.. He whispered something in Fernandinho's ear and then waits for the reaction, he was aiming to get him sent off. He's a c**t.

      Still stupid of Fernandinho to get so easily provoked.

  29. Forza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Sorry everyone, but Kane won't get another penalty once I get him for next week.

    1. 4. Arsenal FC
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      That settles it. I will do Aguero--> Costa.

      *Cue the Costa blanks*
