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.

    Seems like Costa + Eriksen was a better combo than Kane + Walcott after all....

      Lol but Walcott hasnt played yet

        7 years, 5 months ago

        He won't match Eriksen 😀 I hope he does though!

    Thank you Eriksen. Not having Kane and cap fail was hurting.

    Allen > Eriksen. Hmm do I?

  10. Syd.

    Coutinho > Eriksen
    Fuchs > Alonso

    🙂

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years

      Nailed it

      1. Syd.
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Indeed

        Fuchs was possibly my worse transfer ever

    2. Ógie

      Great move fair play

      1. Syd.
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Lucky TBH with Alonso

        City should've spanked Chelsea today

  11. Conk

  12. Somalion

    Time to pack up Bob.

    Maybe if they beg Laudrup he'll come back and save their sorry behinds.

    1. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      He needs to get a defensive and offensive coach in

  13. dush64

    Hmmm. Benteke --> Austin (-4) yesterday was a masterstroke. Sigh

    1. GreenArrows
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Not as bad but I did Deeney > Austin and Deeney got an assist

  14. Ógie

    Eriksen steals the bps

    1. Coaly
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Does he? See below

    2. Numb
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      I thought someone said that Kane was miles ahead?

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

        Late goal from Mr Christan takes it down

  15. Ribus

    Brought Erikson in on my WC. My plan was to transfer him out after this GW for Hazard. Left exactly 2,1mio in the bank for this. Still a good plan?

    1. Dr Mantis Toboggan
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Yep!

  16. Dušan Citizen
    • 10 Years

    38 pts from my captain 🙂

    That's pretty much how much I had captain points in last 3-4 gws.

    1. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Well done!

  17. Coaly
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Kane to still get 3 bonus after 3 winning goal bps added?

    1. Duke Silver ☑
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Should do.

    2. Dr Kenneth Noisewater
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Is it just because he scored first, and Swansea didn't score any, that he gets winning goal bonus?

      1. Coaly
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Whichever goal puts you in the winning position which leads to the win

        So yeah as they kept a cleanie then it's the first goal

  18. Shultan

    Time to hide behind the sofa with no walcott & sanchez!

  19. Arteta
    • 8 Years

    Chose Theo over Eriksen as Cou replacement. Ouch. I only need a hattie! 🙂

  20. Londoner_FPL

    7 years, 5 months ago

    Pickford/foster
    Fuchs/holebas/peiters/nyom/McCauley

    Firm/haz/sig/red/wally

    Aggy/tekkers/anichebi

    A) Aggy + tekkers - > Costa + Kane - 4

    B) Aggy + ani + Fuchs (dropping) - > Costa + Kane + def (ward?) - 8

  22. Big Bad Diego
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Heaton Pickford
    Vertonghen Alonso Pieters Clyne Amat
    Hazard Siggy Walcott Firmino Phillips
    Kane Diomande Aguero (2.8 ITB) (3-5-2)

    Any improvements? Thinking of bringing in Defoe and switching to a 4-4-2, but my midfield is too tasty. Any recommendations on who to upgrade in midfield? Cheers

  27. Scholes Balls
    • 7 Years

    1. Scholes Balls
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      1 point from 4 games... How is that even possible ?

  28. Golden Venture
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Eriksen (60) vs Kane (58)
    Kane may still get 3BPS with MWG?

    1. Numb
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      He will if my maths is correct

    2. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad

  29. Kaneyonero
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago
