Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – West Ham United vs Arsenal

A dramatic Saturday comes to its conclusion as West Ham United take on Arsenal at the London Stadium.

All eyes are on the Gunners’ Alexis Sanchez as he looks for a fourth double-figure haul on the road.

Having scored twice against Bournemouth last week, the Chilean headed into Gameweek 14 just one point off the top of the Fantasy Premier League standings.

An injury to Philippe Coutinho has prompted new interest in Theo Walcott – the wide man earned more transfers in than any player last week after notching his sixth of the season against Eddie Howe’s side.

The search for a new midfielder means we’ll also be monitoring the display of Dimitri Payet, with the Hammers’ schedule taking a turn for the better from Gameweek 16 onwards.

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

  7. HurriKane

    Anyone else able to easily fit Hazard and Sanchez now that Kun is suspended.

    Heaton Jak

      Thoughts ?

      1. grig

        7 years, 5 months ago

        I'm looking at pretty much exact same squad. Would have to pull the trigger tonight tho and take -8. :S

  8. Mario Balofail
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Remember when Berbatov (MUN) scored 5 goals? Hoping Ozil could do that 🙂

    1. vickyz r3d d3vil$ !!!
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      How could you even think of Ozil in that position...

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

      as they say, dream big 🙂

      1. Mario Balofail
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Amen brother!

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

      Ozil isn't even worth Berbatov's shoelace.

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

        I'm a united fan, and both r very close to each other in terms of skill

        1. Mario Balofail
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Skill or not, hit me 2 goals at least, Ozil 🙂

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

    Arsenal should get a haul against this defence

  10. Marc
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Is it as simple as Kun -> Kane? Have Costa and Austin

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

      Or Zlatan

      1. Postman Ty
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        just pulled the trigger on Zlatan. fingers crossed!

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

      Yes

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

      Kane will increase in price tonight. Kun will drop. Ibra playing tomorrow. Ibra and Kane fixtures both look good. Tricky

  11. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    West ham all over the place

  12. Rh4ziel

    God damn Alexis 🙁

  13. Slam
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Cue a 20 pointer next week.

    Heaton(BOU)
    Alonso(WBA) Clyne(WHM) Amat(SUN)
    Siggy(SUN) Hazard(WBA) Firmino(WHM) Redmond(MID)
    Kane(mun) Costa[C](WBA) Austin(MID)

    Sanchez defo not himself here

    1. Pub Crawl to the Townsend
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Even tho everything is going through him

  15. FALCAO & MOU
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Please suggest a good cheap defender pair till GW 21 for me.

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

      Pieters, Brunt/Jones

  16. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Ox would be a half decent player if he found some end product

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

    Sanchez inches away from a tap in

  18. Mickey Tyrion™
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Is it just my mini leagues that i'm involved in, or is Sanchez a differential in you alls' leagues as well?

    Every year I try to keep Alexis in my team, and not really any others around my leagues do. He's never not a differential for me.

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

      Differential in mine.

    2. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      He's only got a 25% ownership

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

      Differential in mine as well. But most people have had Walcott in mine at least.

  19. wbm

    Looks like I'm in for a painful game behind the couch

  20. Leaf

    Is Siggy now out of fashion

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

      No?

    2. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Not with those fixtures

      Today we all knew tottenham would have a good game vs them

      Keeping for sure

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

      Brought him in last week, but wasn't expecting a lot against Spurs to be honest. But the way they played today was worrying, although keeping for sure.

  21. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Walcott is so useless

    He needs to be more aggressive and attack the goal when someone is going to cross it

    Not wait for the ball to come to him

  22. TheSteel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    This pitch is narrow

  23. Ógie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    Darren Randolph was 16/1 to be man of the match btw

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

    Any Swansea supporters here? (my commiserations)

    Do you think Bradley is gonna tinker with the def again? 17 goals shipped in 5 games. Could we see Kingsley make a comeback?

    1. Get up ya bum
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      They gotta give him some January funds

  25. The Royal Robin
    • 8 Years

    Any chances for Alexis?

  26. tm245

    OMG Kane, just snuck the third bap.

    fedolefan:
    Pep over poch for sure. Nobody thinks deeper about every minute detail than pep. He gets it, he's considered the fook out of it, and come to his own conclusions. Can't argue it doesn't work. They are right up in the mix for premier leage and ucl atm and have played some amazing football.
    For me he is a smidge behind conte and klopp this season so far but time will tell.

    HORRIFIC gameweek for me. Pulled the trigger and done Kun & Benteke > Costa & Kane (one week late).

    Foster
    Cedric / Lovren / Holebas
    Firm / Sanchez / Hazard / Redmond / Allen
    Costa / Kane

    Pickford / Williams / Amat / Diomande

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

      Benteke out?
      After scoring a brace and with Hull up next?

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

        And Kane has united away...

  29. davies
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Which option?

    A) KDB & Vertonghen
    B) Siggy & Alonso

  30. Too Mane Men

    Kane secures 3 bonus by 1BPS point. The FPL God's have smiled upon us. Three cheers to Eriksen owners. Son still a great option also.
