Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Saturday

With the Spurs assets delivering in the early kick-off, we move our attention to six more encounters to seek out further returns.

Arsenal’s trip to Swansea City undoubtedly provides the key interest, with more than 700,000 (16.5%) FPL managers turning to Alexis Sanchez as their Gameweek 21 captain.

With Olivier Giroud earning more than 350,000 transfers ahead of today’s deadline, it’s fair to say that Fantasy managers will be willing Arsenal to follow Spurs’ lead and produce goals and points aplenty.

Paul Clement’s first home game in charge provides an unwanted x-factor, however. It remains to be seen if he can lift a Swans side that has shipped 23 goals at the Liberty Stadium, the worst home record in the Premier League.

Elsewhere, Sunderland’s Jermain Defoe is heavily backed ahead of a home encounter with Stoke City. Brought in by 266,000 FPL managers ahead of Gameweek 21, more than any other FPL forward, Defoe has returned a goal or an assist in five of his last six Stadium of Light encounters.

Meanwhile, at the KCOM Stadium, a host of mid-price and budget assets go head to head with our focus on the likes of Robert Snodgrass, Junior Stanislas and Charlie Daniels.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Is it worth doing Costa > Kane today to save 0.2 or is he just fishing for a pay rise?

    Help appreciated:

    Benching headache: Team is - Grant (MUN) Heaton (Ars)
    Gibson(WHU) Rose (MCI) Daniels(WAT) Brunt(SUN) Alonso(HUL)
    Fraser, Stanislas (WAT) Phillips(SUN) San(c)hez(BUR) Alli(MCI)
    Aguero(TOT) Defoe(WBA) Ibra(STK)

    Thoughts: Spurs form makes it difficult to bench Alli, Fraiser's on form, Kun is Kun, Rose could get something going forward vs city's leaky defence, perhaps even a cleanie, West Ham could get one vs Mid and then there's the keeper crisis too.

    To put it in short, bench 4 please.

    1. Champione
      • 8 Years

      Bench Grant, Fraser, Gibson and Brunt imo

    Talk the dog for a walk at halftime. FPL was going horrendously on so many levels.

    Second half everything went my way.

    Thank you dog.

  8. Jet5605

    7 years, 3 months ago

    Who will replace Vertonghen at CB for Spurs? Dier or Wimmer?

  9. Gruu
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Best replacement for Ake 4.4m (4th def)?

    A. Chambers
    B. Yoshida
    C. Ward
    D. Friend

    Grant (Jaku)
    Baines Valencia Brunt (Ake* Holgate)
    Sanchez Lallana Stanislas Phillips (deRoon)
    Kun Ibra Giroud

    Theres a guy in my ML with two teams & its been annoying me for weeks & our ML admin won't delete it because its his bro in law!
    We agree before hand to only have 1 team & its a competitive one so its unfair as the rest us only have 1!
    This will sound vindictive but is it possible to report 2nd teams? Im sure fpl have deleted 2nd teams before

    1. GREEN IS GOOD
      • 7 Years

      or just leave the league and tell him you won't play in an unfair set up

    1. Sonic Huth
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

  13. Sandy Ravage
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    YESSS Hazard to Alonso. Perfect.

  17. GreenArrows

    Finally a good GW! I may not own Kane, Walker or Rose but I have managed to get 76 including bonus points with Lallana and Lakaku to play. Doesn't include clean sheet for Alonso either!
