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

    5. Evasivo

    6. Dynamic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Thanks guys.

  4. Kalou
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Kun to benteke and Redmond to Sanchez?

    A.Oh yes

    B.Oh no

    1. Jolly Good
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Those are my thoughts. Presume you have Kane and Costa like me.

      Might go for iheanacho

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

        No Costa as I have hazard.

        1. Jolly Good
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Think Costa + Kane will be template

    2. dush64
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Not Benteke. Tough fixtures.

      Would do Austin, despite the blank today.

  5. Moose™
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Worth it to bring Costa and Sanchez for -12?

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

      Depends on the transfers involved.

      1. Moose™
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Evans -> Ake

        Allen -> De Roon

        Walcott -> Sanchez

        Kun - Costa

        So the final team is:

        Foster Pickford

        Kosc McAuley Pieters Ake Amat

        Sanchez Hazard Firmino Siggy De Roon

        Kane Costa Austin

    2. Manbatius
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Depends, if this is to use Agero money, will you bring him back in after the ban? As that could be another hit.

    3. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      No.

  6. Hy liverpool
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    A very very great gameweek for me ... but still wanted KDB to score

    Don't know it's his mistake or he was unlucky !!

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

      His fault. Horrible finish

  7. Give The Todd Some Love
    • 12 Years

    Pedro over Eriksen went well then

  8. Jafooli
    • 12 Years

    Why is everyone posting these fake huge scores?

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

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

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

      Cant see Sanchez in the tunnel?

    5. Siva Mohan

      Sanchez in the tunnel..

    6. JustPark
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Front 8:
      Sanchez, Hazard, Eriksen, Siggy, Allen,
      Austin, C.Wilson, Aguero

      Aguero to go is imminent. Big question is, for who? Favour Kane slightly than Costa.

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

      Never one for transfers in game week, aguero's price is going to collapse. Costa transfer in imminent!

    8. Jafooli
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Sanchez (c), Aguero (cv)

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Costa and de roon

      If Sanchez was out it could mean a lot more Aguero (c)

      1. Lawrø
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        and Kane(c)?

        1. Halftime
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years

          Some, not as many as Aguero though

          1. Lawrø
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            15.9% vc for Aguero!

        2. Lawrø
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          No,~50 people in the Top 10k vice captained Kane!

    13. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      As if Lukaku blank wasn't bad enough.

      Now with aguero out every man and their dog will own Kane.

      1. Scholes Balls

        well you got him before them and caught his haul

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        And this is a surprise?

    15. Ayew Holding Mee Cork
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Fuchs is an embarrassment. 1 point in his last 4 matches.

      1. denial
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Just got rid. I'm gutted to have owned him twice this season.

        Went him over Walker at the start. And him over Brunt recently.

      2. dhamphiir
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        -1 point in last 4 game for Holebas

    16. Oddjobleff
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Aguero to Costa, obviously. Costa's flagged though. Not mentioned in match report. Still a wise move?

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

        asking myself this now before price rise

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

          The price swing is going to be huge. Got to do it tonight but not if he's crocked
