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.

    That Phillips goal got the biggest cheer from me this season.

    Hopefully a good Christmas is coming

      Son, based on the eye test

    4. wbm
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      So hard decision, both looked dangerous today and similar price.
      I think Son will get less points, doesn't seem to have the consistency.

    Is the Kun red card an automatic 3-game ban?
    May as well go Aguero -> Costa

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

      He's flagged for 4 games

    2. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Already got Kane?

    3. GreenArrows
      • 7 Years

      4 games due to previous incident

      1. PlayPercentage
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Already have Kane.
        Iheanacho could be worth a punt, though.

    4. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      4 game ban

      Brunt gets winning goal BP I think so should do.

      Not sure what other alterations need to be made though

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

      hope so

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

    Should I still do Kun to Kane and Eriksen to KDB for -4?

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

      Just Kun to Kane this week

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

        Cheers. It would be sad selling him after he broughts me 38 pts.

        1. Sharpe Shuffle
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Why would you want KDB? Loads of better value out there

  9. Cilly Bonnolly
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Kane didn't go off injured did he?

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

      nope

      1. Cilly Bonnolly
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Good stuff. Aguero to Kane then. I'll wait and see if Costa's injury comes to anything and maybe get him in for Deeney. Cheers.

  10. Dr Mantis Toboggan
    • 8 Years

    What a beautiful gameweek this has been so far

  11. Aston-villain
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Anyone who hasn't got Kane and still not going to get him for Aguero?

    1. MTPockets
        7 years, 5 months ago

        I wasn't going to (Ibra) but probably need to reassess...

    2. The Fantastic Mr Fox
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Brunt and Philips baps will be close

      1. InSaneMan-e
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Good day to have both!

      For Kun and Allen

      A: Costa and Sanchez

    4. Krafty Werks
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Festive fixtures = hits time!!

      A - Kun / Allen > Kane / Son -4

      or

      B - Kun / Allen / Boruc > Kane / Eriksen / Grant -8

      Thanks.

    5. Evasivo
      • 13 Years

      Kane or Ibra for next 4-5gws?!

      1. cravencottage
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Kane

      2. MTPockets
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Both have decent fixtures, problem is imagine lots more now getting in Kane right now:

          Kane: mun, HUL, BUR, sou, wat
          Ibra: TOT, cry, wba, SUN, MID

          1. Evasivo
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            Is Ibra on pens?

            1. MTPockets
                7 years, 5 months ago

                I think so.
                Might do Kane now and look at Defoe -> Ibra next gw.

              • 8 Years
              7 years, 5 months ago

              His goal got them the lead? The others were padding

              1. TorresMagic™

                oh dear

                1. Sjaugen
                  • 8 Years
                  7 years, 5 months ago

                  Thanks for being overbearing.
                  Are the rules that it awarded Brunt due to the second goal, since WAtford scored one?
                  Even though they were still in the lead when WAtford scored theirs

                  1. Licious Lizard
                    • 11 Years
                    7 years, 5 months ago

                    2-1 goal is the winning goal.

                    Brunt gets the baps for that.

                    1. Sjaugen
                      • 8 Years
                      7 years, 5 months ago

                      Alright. Thanks for leaving out the lols and oh dears 😛

            Didn't he score first? Brunt has the winning goal

            • 9 Years

          Is anyone thinking of Costa,Kane,Ibra front line?

          I would need to downgrade Siggy > Phillips to upgrade Austin > Costa

          Kane game winning goal might get him 3 baps right? RIGHT?

          1. TorresMagic™
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            Depends on deductions

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            He'll probably lose points for not completing 90 minutes

          3. Halftime
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

          • 10 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          A) Eriksen + Luiz
          B) Alli + Alonso

          Really can't find that 0.1m for Eriksen + Alonson sadly.
