Dugout Discussion

Dugout Discussion – Saturday

After Sanchez’ delivers a double-figure haul, the day rolls on with five-afternoon kick-offs, with attention switching to Old Trafford as Manchester United host Watford.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic heads into today’s contest once again backed by the majority of Fantasy Premier League managers for the eighth consecutive Gameweek. Over 957,000 (22.1%) opt for the Swede as their skipper for a clash with a Hornets defence that has kept just a single clean sheet since Gameweek 10.

Elsewhere, Everton’s trip to Middlesbrough will be keenly monitored by Romelu Lukaku’s owners. Brought in by more than 186,000 FPL managers ahead of the Teesside trip, they’ll be looking for instant returns from a striker that produced 21-points in Gameweek 24. Lukaku is backed by over 305,000 (7%) managers with the armband.

Sunderland’s Jermain Defoe is the other key asset on show. Brought in by 89,000 ahead of today’s outing, more than 87,000 (2%) have turned to the Black Cats’ veteran for their captain ahead of his meeting with Southampton at the Stadium of Light.

Meanwhile West Ham United, without Andy Carroll, face West Brom at the London Stadium, while Crystal Palace will be seeking a quick recovery following their 4-0 hammering by Sunderland as they make the trip to Stoke City.

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

    Looks clear Brunt assist. Straight on his head from the corner.

  4. JARI

    Clearly Evans goal, Brunt assist.

    More than possible for Snoddy to be benched once Carroll is back..

      Nope. More chance for points.

      Cheers. That better be an Evans goal

      So hard to tell

      Did perhaps evens hesd into the back of the head of Mcauley

      1. S.Kuqi

        This. Looks that way to me

      Indeed. Bilic going mad 😆

    Will they amend this WBA saga?

    3 Northern Ireland legends, BTW 😀

    Ok, so who scored? Evans or McAuley?

    1. Begbie.
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      It was Evans.

    2. justmatt
      • 8 Years

      WBA Twitter is reporting Evans goal off Brunt corner, as is sky commentary, not sure what's going on though.

  9. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 13 Years

    Hearing Mark's dog owns Mcauley

  10. LakhaneeFC
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Now all I need is Alli and Eriksen to get a goal and assist each - not a lot to ask!

    Did anyone see the WBA goal, I really need it to be McAuley! 🙂

  11. Begbie.
    • 10 Years

    They'll take McAuley goal off again. It was clearly Evans' goal.

  12. Tangerine Army XI
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    It's an Evans goal, Brunt assist 🙁

  13. BlzE_94

    Sanchez -> Hazard?

    1. jam
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      That's my plan

  14. jam
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Feels bad capping Ibra instead of Sanchez but he scored a penalty & with his hand. Could have gone either way.

  15. Black Panther
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    How do FPL make soo many mistakes? Surely it's Evans goal.

    Nyom owners lucky they don't have to feel any injustice

      hopefully it's amended in time for Evans to get possible bonus points coming from it

    Watched the replace. It's clearly Evans goal.

    Balls evans

    Points and players left lads? Bad week so far for me
    40 points Kane Eriksen Alonso heaton left plus bonus

    1. LakhaneeFC
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Assuming McAuley scored, 51 with Siggy, Alli, Eriksen and Costa to play

  21. Pariße
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Evans scored, leaned on McAuley to score, but it's his goal. McAuley did actually assist him, but he's getting nothing.

    1. Dedalus1
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      different kind of assist lol

      1. Pariße
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        exactly 🙂

    Can we link vids?

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3v4nFyf4ru0

    Not very clear if it touched McAuley

  23. liiusions
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Definitely an Evans goal. Not like FPL to award a dodgy goal/assist to a highly owned player now is it?

    1. dogtanion
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      have noticed this..what's it about...employees looking after their own interests?? so dodgy

    FPL always give the benefit of the doubt to the highly owned players, it's in their best interests to keep more players happy.

    90' Evans heads home Brunt's corner at the back post late in stoppage time (2-2) #WBA #WHUWBA

    From WBA official twitter.

    I'm confused, who gets the goal and assist?

    1. The Tinkerman
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      West Ham also gives it to Evans from Brunt corner... Also looks like an Evans goal on the replay...

  29. For Fuchs Sake

    71 points with Alli and Erik still to play.
