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

    Worth it for -12 points?

    A) VVD, Firmino, Allen, Aguero
    B) Cedric, Eriksen, Ozil, Costa

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

      No.

    2. Tomlette Greggs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      VVD, Firmino too good to get rid of as part of a 12 pointer.

      Aguero + Allen to Costa + another, perhaps?

        Agreed

      I wanted A for this GW but my budget allowed me C.

    Just did Aguero to Costa and Lukaku to Kane for free.

    Foster
    Vertonghen Cedric Holebas
    Sanchez Hazard Firmino Zaha
    Kane Costa Austin

    Pickford Capoue Friend Wilson

    Best move?
    A. Agureo > Costa (leave Sanchez until following week)
    B. Agureo Walcott & Williams >
    Costa Sanchez & 4.1 (-8)
    C. Agureo & Walcott > Defoe & Sanchez (-4)

    1. Toure The Route
      • 7 Years

    GW11. Was pondering back and forth between Fuchs and Alonso as Valencia's replacement. Since then:

    Fuchs: 1 0 0 0 = 0.25 PPG
    Alonso: 13 6 2 7 = 7 PPG

    You can guess which one I ended up with 🙂

  6. Klip Klopp
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Would you do
    Allen + Kosclieny + Austin --> Sanchez + Alonso + Anichebe for a -4?
    Or leave the Kosclieny move for now and just take a -4?

  7. King Kohli
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Worth a -8??

    Wally ---> Alexis
    Evans/Holebas ---> Ake

    Leaving me with:
    Pick Jaku
    Walker Alonso Holebas Ake Amat
    Sanchez Hazard Firmino Siggy Fletcher
    Costa Kane Austin

    how can i check if that aguero drop will affect my tv? i never truly understand this system. is it drops 0,1 from value every 0,2 drop or else?

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

      Aye, that's it.

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

        So if i get aguero back at gw6 for 13.0 and now he's going to drop from 13.1 back to 13.0 tonight i wont lose sweet 10 pennies?

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

          Yeah. If you got him at 13.0 his first drop won't affect you. The one after will.

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

            cheers =]

        2. Chelsea Dagger
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Your tv will go down by .1 if you sell now, as your sale value is only 13.0. If you purchased at 13.0, and he was at 13.2, your sale value would be $13.1. Hope that makes sense

        3. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Correct. In both cases you'd sell for 13.0

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

            Thanks m8

    2. ItOnlyTook9Years
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      You gain 0.1 for every 0.2 they rise above your purchase price.
      If they're 0.3 above, you only get 0.1 etc

    3. Chelsea Dagger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      On the transfers tab, click on "list view" instead of "pitch view", and you'll see the various prices.

      How much TV does one have to realistically have to afford all of Costa, Kane, Sanchez, Hazard and Firmino? Possible?

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

        Easily.

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

        After today, can we we put to bed the idea that Walcott can cover Sanchez's points?

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

          The concept of cover is idiotic.

        2. Ibracadabra
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          it's not about cover, it's about value / points per game. those who benefitted from walcott early season goalscoring run at 3m+ cheaper than sanchez will be happy. those who captained sanchez today will be happy. two different concepts.

      11. Patty

        Kane or Costa?

      12. Flynny

        Is there any easing why I shouldn't do Kun to Costa tonight??...thanks

          Only reason is possible injuries.

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

            Costa is apparently not injured

            And Kun needs to go....
