Dugout Discussion – Swansea City vs Leicester City

After goals from Pedro and Robbie Brady saw the spoils shared at Turf Moor, we make our way to the Liberty as Swansea seek to build momentum under Paul Clement.

Gylfi Sigurdsson is the focal point in the 4pm kick-off, with the playmaker looking to score for the fourth successive Gameweek, having netted against Liverpool, Southampton and Man City in each of his previous league outings.

With a pair of assists also accrued over the last five, the Icelandic international was the most transferred in player for Gameweek 25, with 229,000+ new owners snapping up his services.

Given that the hosts are currently one of just six sides set to play in both Gameweek 26 and 28, the likes of Fernando Llorente and Alfie Mawson could also play their way into our short-term plans.

Leicester, meanwhile, have struggled for form at either end of the pitch. With one goal in seven and a single clean sheet away from home all season, Claudio Ranieri’s men have done little to persuade us they are worthy of investment right now.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    not sure to take out ibra or sanchez. Have to remove 1 of them probably. For sure I would go Sanchez. But looking at replacements i am not so sure I want to get hazard back. Costa looks tempting though

    1. Differentiator
      • 8 Years

      Keep Ibra IMO

  2. Differentiator
    • 8 Years

    Might do Sanchez -> Markovic.

        Hi

  3. Viper
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Would you play Maguire (BUR) or Siggy (che)

    I'd like to bring in Maguire this week but I actually can't find a starting place for him

    1. Robe Wan

    2. Netley Lucas

      You kind of have to play Siggy every game mate. I'm in a similar spot tbh lol might just keep Holgate & play 10 & him.

    Since there is no gw next week, do I automatically get a free transfer?
    Thanks

    1. Robe Wan

      Fraid not

      This GW is 2 weeks long.

  5. Dreams

    My overconfidence on Siggy has punished me nicely. I still don't know what made me sell Alexis for him.

    1. Christophe Savage
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Wow

  6. DR0GBA

    I'm one of the biggest Eden Hazard fans, but taking out Sanchez for him doesn't seem worth it. The guy is an amazing player, but his price doesn't match his consistent output. He doesn't get involved with goals as much as he should. Compare him to Sanchez who has 17 goals already this season, Hazard only has 10, and Sadio Mane who has in fewer matches than Hazard has one more than him.

    I think if there's any people in the same situation as me, and also has Costa, maybe Hazard isn't the right player to get if you're looking to get rid of Sanchez

    1. DR0GBA
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Saying that, I will probably take Sanchez out for Hazard anyway 😛

    2. Legomane
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Why not...can always switch back

    3. Cok3y5murf
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Agreed. Mane is my priority

    4. Arn De Gothia
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      i stay clear for now

  7. For Fuchs Sake
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Ibra to Costa or Sanchez to Hazard? If Ibra wasn't playing B'Mouth, it'd be easy!!

    1. Sarnab
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Depends on Value.

      1. For Fuchs Sake
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        About the same, .1m more if I sell Ibra

      2. Legomane
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Not really, who knows how much Sanchez and Ibra will drop over the next 3 game weeks. I bought Sanchez for 10.9 and have no qualms selling and buying back later.

        1. Arn De Gothia
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          same price for me, in no hurry selling

  8. tm245
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    7 of the top 10 midfielders in FPL Form have guaranteed fixtures in 26-28, but I only want Siggy from them.

    How many of
    Siggy
    Feghouli Lanzini Antonio
    Barkley
    NDiaye
    Morrison
    do you plan to have in gw28?

    1. Speédy
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Siggy only

    2. fedolefan
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Will only get Siggy of that lot but I'd like to get Lanzini in too, especially for that waste of space Phillips.

      1. tm245
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I am rarely as baffled by a transfer as I am with what to do with Phillips. Still considering shipping for one of the West Ham guys, but it seems like such a waste.

        1. fedolefan
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          You held him for these next two fixtures, might as well go all the way. Such a garbage pick he has been.

    3. Dreams
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Have siggy. Might go for Trolkley.

    4. Harper (No more Penandes)
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Only Siggy and Antonio who I already have

    5. Camp No No
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      1

    6. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Sig and Antonio

  9. Ravager
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Gonna ignore FPL I think til the FA Cup fixtures are done.

    1. Numb
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Seems the best approach. Me too.

      1. Ravager
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Only thing is this volatile market. But I technically already have an XI and if I have to move on anyone for a bit, it's Ibra/Sanchez so it's whatever.

  10. Speédy
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Can't decide
    Mawson or Maguire????
    Have jaku

    1. Toure The Route
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I have Jaku too
      Getting Mawson.

  11. myboycharlie
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Why is their plenty talk of getting maguire of hull in

    1. Legomane
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Good fixtures. Hull tightening up at the back.

    2. Speédy
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Hull better defensively under Silva,Maguire matches Alonso for shots on goal

      1. myboycharlie
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Just looked at his goal attempts stats I see wat u mean, was all set to do kosceliny to funis Mori to free up cash but interested in maguire now after listening to people here as I also have Coleman already

  12. Legomane
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Heaton
    Alonso Coleman Holgate Smith
    Eriksen Alli Phillips de Roon
    Costa Lukaku

    Pickford Pieters (Sanchez Ibrahimovic)

    Thoughts very much appreciated on the next move. Currently only have 5 GW28 starters.

    A. Sanchez, Pieters > Hazard, Brunt (-4)

    B. A above + Holgate > Funes Mori or Robertson (-8) - concerned neither Smith or Holgate feature this week. Could hold out another week and add the likes of Mawson next week instead..

    C. Something else?

    Cheers

    1. myboycharlie

      Any money ITB?

      1. Legomane

    Only Jesus (C)an save me now

    1. Ridcully
      • 7 Years

      You captained Emre Can?

  15. myboycharlie
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Ibra to Costa for free or play Mee away to hull

  16. Sarnab
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Team :

    Foster
    Brunt Coleman Alonso (Pieters Amat*)
    Alli Eriksen Phillips DeRoon (Sanchez*)
    Lukaku Carroll (Ibra*)

    2FT, 1.6 in bank

    1. Ibra to Costa
    2. Ibra + Amat > Costa + Robertson/Maguire
    3. Ibra + DeRoon > Costa + Morrison
    4. Any of the above with Kane in place of Costa

  17. Parm
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Went all in on this week and it really didn't pay off and unfortunately here's my team for next gameweek as it stands....

    Heaton;
    Coleman, Brunt, Nyom, Holgate;
    Hazard, Alli, Carroll;
    Lukaku.

    Pickford; Cédric, Sánchez, Iwobi, Ibrahimovic, Jesus.

    1FT; £0.2m ITB.

    Missing 2 starters but I think I want to keep Sánchez, Ibrahimovic and Jesus.

    Cédric to Maguire & Iwobi to £6.5m for a hit the way to go?

    1. tm245
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Very good moves if the midpriced mid is one of the gw28 guys. The hit should definitely be paid off over the next three weeks.

      1. Parm
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Will obviously wait until after the FA Cup games before making the moves, am I being too stubborn in keeping Sánchez, Ibrahimovic and Jesus or is that smart?

        1. tm245
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          I am struggling with shipping my big hitters as well - have Sanchez KDB Jesus but I keep focusing on the marginal, cheaper slots in my squad.

          I don't have my WC, so I think the biggest challenge will be to have the impulse control to maintain a team shape and bank account that allows for hitting the ground running for gw29.

          I think KDB and Jesus could do serious damage in gw27, as could Ibra for you, so it is a tough call.

          1. Parm
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            I know everyone will be making moves for Kane/Costa and that's the issue as they're likely captaincy options.

            But if they do that this week, then Ibra/Sanchez can be our differentials the next week and everyone blanks GW28 so it's pretty much evened out I think. I like my squad as it is and these blanks are just a tease for the more impulsive managers in my opinion.

        2. InSaneMan-e
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Personally that's too much value for me on that bench, when probably 2 of the next 3 fixtures are probably blanks

          1. Parm
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            But everyone else blanks in GW28 right?

    2. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Maguire not guaranteed to start long term. If you plan having him for a while I'd get Robertson.

      1. Parm
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        ?

        He's Hull best player, nowhere near being dropped.

        1. Smurf
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Because of his stats or because he has the most quality?

          It's certainly the former.

          Davies, Dawson and Rach have more experience and quality.

  18. TorresMagic™

    Is Siggy's 6 points versus a prostrate Leicester the same as a blank versus a normal team?

    1. Dreams
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      No. He has been performing consistently for a while.

      1. Lawrø
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Mere happenstance

    2. JustPark

    Made sure to have 2 FT this week.
    Who to replace Ibra and Sanchez with? Hazard and Kane?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Will you get one back in 27?

      1. bobbysmith76
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Ibra for Bournemouth

        1. TorresMagic™

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Maybe keep Ibra unless you think Kane will smash it and you'll captain him?

          1. bobbysmith76
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Seems like a waste to have Ibra on the bench when I have the 2FT though?

    7 years, 1 month ago

    I know a player can go up to -0.3 or +0.3 per gameweek.
    But if he goes up/down let's say by 0.2, can this change if it goes towards the opposite direction.
    Thinking of doing Sanchez->Mane, the issue is I see Mane going up +0.2 and Sanchez down -0.2, then a possible Arsenal exit from the FAcup could reignite Sanchez purchases, so could he go back up in the same gameweek?

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

      3 price changes max.

    2. Christophe Savage
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Yes, a player can go down and back up in a single game week.

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Kane went up then down last GW. Sanchez will still have a blank in 26 so purchases are less likely.

    4. Netley Lucas
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Well, once a 0.1 move is done, that's it. Yes it can reverse, as we saw with Kane.

      Close between A and C...
      One is clueless and the other has just had his reputation smashed to bits
      Palace have a good team though so Allardyce has no excuse, so I'll say him.

      1. Prøfeßör …

        Give big Sam some time, he'll do OK.

      2. Syd.
        • 14 Years

        Well one thing for sure he has shored up the forward line - they have managed to stop scoring goals

      Moyes!

    7. Prøfeßör …

      A, but B runs him close.

      Costa's record against Swansea is pretty good
