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.

    What minute does Holebas get booked for giving any a pen? I'm guessing 89th.

    Anyone watching the Bournemouth game? Wilson doing anything?

    1. The Wise Owl
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Wilson isn't playing?

      1. Ha.

        He came on as a sub...

        1. The Wise Owl

          Oh, sorry I haven't been paying attention to that game 😀

            • 8 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            That's why I asked for people watching it 😉

    Completely off the mark with my accumulator bet.

    Love how angry Sanchez always looks when he's subbed off. Absolutely spitting blood at Wenger then as he trudged off.

    1. Royal5
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Thought he was more of a team player.

  6. Athletic Dildao

    I used to work in customer services and had that exact 'so help me god' look of Sanchez. He's leaving soon. Guaranteed.

    1. Fred54

      His reaction was so stupid. You're 4-0 up away from home, what's to be angry about?!

      1. Fred54
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        I know he does it often, but its just silly.

      2. Athletic Dildao
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Agreed. Good he wants to play every minute but that was stupid. Really think he's heading for the exit door.

    Alexis going to China

    1. The Royal Robin
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Why would you transfer Sanchez out?

      1. The Wise Owl
        • 8 Years

    1. Royal5
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago
