Dugout Discussion

Dugout Discussion – Saturday

After Roberto Firmino and Fernando Llorente both bagged a brace at Anfield, there are five 3pm encounters to keep Fantasy managers ticking over this Saturday afternoon.

Cut-price wide men Junior Stanislas and Matt Phillips earned plenty of new owners over the last few days.

The pair approached Gameweek 22 with averages of 5.5 and 5.1 points per match respectively as Bournemouth and West Brom prepare for kind home encounters against Watford and Sunderland.

Everton boast a multitude of in-form options as they roll up to Selhurst Park to face a defence with a single clean sheet to their name.

With five goals in seven, Romelu Lukaku has the chance to strengthen his claim for a role in our three-man frontlines as the Toffees embark on some excellent fixtures.

The in-form Zlatan Ibrahimovic has Stoke City in his sights as United pay visit to the bet365.

Having delivered a goal or assist in nine of his last 10 appearances, there’s no surprise to learn that 19.1% of FPL managers have handed Zlatan the Gameweek 22 armband – that’s more than any other player.

Middlesbrough host West Ham in the remaining match.

Michal Antonio was second only to Philippe Coutinho for transfers in amongst midfielders in the Gameweek on the back of a 15-ooint haul at home to Palace.

‘Boro are no pushovers at the Riverside, though. Aitor Karanka’s men have managed four clean sheets in their last six home outings – only Liverpool and Chelsea have netted against them over that run of matches.

          I think it would have been a crazy decision to put the captaincy on someone who has scored 1 goal in the last 10 gw before swansea

          Maybe some Liverpool fans or dead teams

      Good work with Bobby (c), underlying stats have been brilliant. This haul was long due.

      So poor in midfield and defence. Need Mane back. Can isnt playing well atm. We need more pace/runners in the side

      1. Hy liverpool
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Don't know why we are playing Can tbh ... need wingers/defenders asap.

        Top4 now would be nice.

    I regret starting Jones after seeing Fellaini in the team.

      benched him for Cedric

      1. Toure The Route
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Yea benched him for Cedric as well
        Reckon they have very equal clean sheet odds and is a huge differential.
        Has been really pissing off owning Cedric though but those fixtures look irresistible.

  14. Goodricke
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Own Williams and Lovren, when i play one, the benched players has a blinder and laughs at me from the bench. I played Lovren today, so clean sheet, goal and assist coming for Williams!

  15. Fred54

    Did Pogba > Cout for this GW. Felt like I punted on Pogba at the wrong time, (west ham, LIV, stoke), so what did do I do, punt on someone else probably on the wrong time, this time too early.

    Be kind Pogba...

    1. rivercityransom
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      he had the stats back then, not so much now.

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

        He still has the stats just not the FPL poitns to go with it...
