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

      Big decisions this GW, what you guys reckon?

      A. Sanchez+Carroll > Mane+Lukaku
      B. Ibra+Eriksen > Lukaku+Hazard
      C. Other?

      Team

      Heaton
      Alonso - Walker - Coleman
      Sanchez - Eriksen - Siggy - Phillips
      Kane - Zlatan - Carroll
      (Jaku - Pieters - Capoue - Evans)

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        A

      3. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Or Sanchez+Ibra+Carroll > Mane+Costa+Lukaku?

      4. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Or Sanchez+Ibra+Carroll > Hazard+Costa+Lukaku 🙂

    10. Cok3y5murf

      People selling Sanchez, when are you planning to get him back? GW29 or GW31?

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

        Haven't sold him yet!!!!!

      2. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Depends how they are playing in the meantime. If donkey Giroud is back in the team then I'll stay clear for 29.

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

          I doubt he'll win his place back when the right players are fit again.

      3. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        See how things plan out. Might come to trusting WBA and City to keep him quiet but I'll make sure I'm in a position to get him in for 29 if needs be!

      4. Netley Lucas
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        29 yeah, hoping for 11.2 but will pay whatever price.

      5. Ridcully
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Selling him if he blanks twice, planning to buy him back in Gameweek 29.

              Are there any other gw26 fixtures that could be affected by fa cup replays?

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

            do it

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

            Something to do with a Leicester FA Cup replay, or a tribal shaman in Mali. I haven't really followed it.

            • 7 Years

            Brace saved him for a few days at least 🙂

      Jaku
      Alonso McAuley Coleman Holgate
      Siggy Eriksen Phillips
      Lukaku Costa Defoe

      Foster Capoue Amat Sanchez

      Anything worth a hit?
      Sanchez->Hazard(-4) worth it?

      1. lordkippe
        • 7 Years

        do it

    13. Henning
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Hmm im confused about what i should do.

      Foster Jakupovic
      Chambers McAuley Alonso Coleman Kingsley
      Phillips Sanchez Alli Antonio Stanislas
      Costa Ibra Lukaku

      i have 2 ft 0m in the bank and Wildcard left.

      what to do with Ibra and Sanchez ?

      and is it stupid to do transfers now just to avoide price rise and drops? it like 13 days to next gw alot can happend

      1. Epic Fail
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Wait.

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

          Ok thanx. And wildcard should perhaps be best to use 1 week before a dgw right?

            • 13 Years

            Or the week after the DGW to fix your team.

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

              Damn didnt think of that : )

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

      As an Ibra captainer, Costa and Haz blanks with Siggy only getting an assist really ain't the worst.

      Both Chelsea and Burnley losing their CSs stings...

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

        Its bad if you didn't captain Sanchez.

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

          Meh, could be worse, could be one of those Man City fans who'll inevitably swap allegiance to Chelsea next season.

      2. TOBY1
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Captained Jesus. Still waiting.

    15. Duffy Dunk
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Following up on my previous question:
      So is it 3 price changes per gameweek no matter if they're up or down, or there is a limit up and limit down, within which a player's price can move?
      Example: going down -0.2, then going up +0.3?

      1. Epic Fail
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Yes. 3 price changes maximum.

      2. Netley Lucas
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        yeah 3 is max, but don't expect these type of swings mate.

        1. Netley Lucas
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Ah, see what he means now, 3 moves... yeah, think EF is right, just 3, up or down.

        2. Fred54
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Might happen on Gabbiadini lol.

          1. Netley Lucas
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            lol

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        +/- 0.3

        Could go up 0.3 then down 0.6 in this break.

        1. Netley Lucas
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Ah right, you can't got up/down 4 but unlimited under that lol

    16. myboycharlie

      Current defence is Coleman Walker Alonso Mee

      Kosceliny to

        Depends how often you'll play the new player.

        1. myboycharlie
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Will rotate best 3 at back based on fixtures will play 4 at back nxt gameweek though

    17. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Hazard or Mane? Thanks

      1. Epic Fail
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Hazard

      2. Cok3y5murf
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Mane

    18. Captain Blanks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      How much do we think Sanchez price will fall between now and the gw 28 deadline?
      I'm thinking of selling after the fa cup games next week (bought at 11.4 so sp will probably be 11.5 by then) and then re-buying for gw29. I reckon his price could fall to about 11.2/11.3 by then so i'd effectively be making .2/.3 profit

      1. Netley Lucas
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Penciled in 11.2 here, lower the better ching-ching lol

      2. Fred54
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Let's say he goes down 0.3 by deadline (or the night after) of GW26. 11.5

        Then goes up 0.1/0.2 for his GW27 fixture. 11.7/11.8

        Think less people will shed for the GW28 blank, as lots of other players missing and if you still have him, why sell? Possibly 11.7/11.8 at GW28 deadline.

        and then through the week rise to 11.9 at GW29 deadline.

        1. Fred54
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Whoops, should be

          "Then goes up 0.1/0.2 for his GW27 fixture. 11.6/11.7..... Possibly 11.6/11.7 at GW28 deadline."

        2. Captain Blanks
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Do you think he would go up 0.2 for gw27 after he's just blanked and then faces liv, BLANK? (genuine question btw not being sarcastic).
          My thinking is that most of the people selling now are people planning ahead who have looked at the next 3 fixtures, it's not likely to be casual/bandwagon sellers who are reacting to current gw form (for obvious reasons). Once the reality of the gw26 blanks kick in, i think the more casual players will start to sell

          1. Fred54
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            That's how stupid the price changes are this season.

    19. Art Vandelay
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I had been planning to only bring in players with a game in GW28 but Mane against an awful Leicester with an ageing defence is too tempting. I would end up with only 7 for GW28 if no hits taken.

      What is the consensus around here?

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Leicester getting a FA Cup replay could mean no GW26.

        1. Art Vandelay
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Cheers TM. I am planning to wait, either way. I have cultivated TV in the first half of the season so,happy to leak some in the second half.

    20. NATSTER
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      How's about these moves ? I'm not doing now, but waiting for FA Cup results.

      Team Now: Sanchez - Alli - Eriksen - Phillips - De Roon

      Sanchez + De Roon -> ???
      A: Hazard + Morrison
      B: Mane + Lanzini

    21. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Got the exact money to do this for a -4 tonight?...

      Yes or no? Thanks 🙂

      Sanchez+Ibra+Carroll > Hazard+Costa+Lukaku

      Heaton
      Alonso - Walker - Coleman
      Eriksen - Hazard - Siggy - Phillips
      Kane - Lukaku - Costa
      (Jaku - Evans - Capoue - Pieters)

      1. Lawrø
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        How/when do you plan to get Sanchez and Ibra back?

        1. RAFA THE GAFFA
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Sanchez GW29. Hazard out probably. Could wait on Ibra. What you reckon matey? 🙂

          1. Lawrø
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Not sure I like it. I'd definitely wait on doing your transfers... imagine doing that and Kane gets injured in the cup or United get knocked out

            1. RAFA THE GAFFA
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 2 months ago

              True yeah! Hmm, tough one this is going to be! What you planning? Just waiting?

              1. Lawrø
                • 12 Years
                7 years, 2 months ago

                I'll probably ditch Sanchez but possibly Ibra. I'm assuming there'll be at least one other GW28 fixture we don't know about yet so I'm waiting to see what that'll be before making my transfer

                1. RAFA THE GAFFA
                  • 8 Years
                  7 years, 2 months ago

                  Sanchez+Carroll > Mane+Lukaku is very tempting now before the rises like

                  1. Lawrø
                    • 12 Years
                    7 years, 2 months ago

                    Can you not afford it otherwise?

      2. Christophe Savage
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Like the moves, hate the timing. Wait and just downgrade either costa or hazard when prices out.

      3. NATSTER
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        It could be worth the early transfer.

    22. StalkingDwarf

      The worst part in owning Rondon and Phillips is that I see them get multiple near goals on MOTD, then they disappoint for another week.

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

        Needs to take a leaf out of McAuley's book

        Doesn't even need to be near the ball to get near goals

            Up 8%. If Hull can beat Burnley, game on.

        Strange that Palace have longer odds than Sunderland since both on the same points. Maybe based on goal difference.

        Jaku

        Burnley away from home are dreadful & Bournemouth seem to always score...

      3. Netley Lucas
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        BOU can still score, BUR a bit meh on the road, maybe Jak.

      4. MTPockets
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Foster i think.

      5. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Jak
        Nyom Baines Brunt Pva
        Alli Phillips Siggy Hazard
        Crouch Lukaku

        Grant Ibra Alexis Daniels
        1 free. 1.4 in the bank.

        What do you reckon lads.
        A.Save
        B.Ibra to Costa.
        C. Sanchez to mane
        D. Sanchez to snoddy

      6. Henning
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Hmmm is people get Gabbiadini in for Ibra?

        1. Netley Lucas
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          To make money?

        2. Epic Fail
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Some fools have no doubt done that.

          1. Netley Lucas
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Yeah the making money bit was earlier, points matter now lol

          • 8 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          7 years, 2 months ago

          Im use to do early transfers but this time maby i just wait and see

          .

      7. StoichkovFPL
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Need to fix that defense: Alonso, Holebas, Evans, Friend, Holgate so want to get Coleman but how to get funds?

        a) Phillips > Morrison (is he nailed)
        b) Eriksen > Pedro / Antonio / Barkley
        c) Alonso > Baines
        d) Ibra > Costa

        d) is 3-4-3 next GW. rest is 4-4-2.

        1. MTPockets
            7 years, 2 months ago

            d

        2. John wick
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          With amazing fixtures of chelsea and spurs...who are essential to have

          A.kane
          B. Eriksen
          C, costa
          D. Hazard

          Select any two..avoid doubling up

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

            B+C

            1. John wick
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 2 months ago

              How about a+c

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

                oh, though it must be mid and striker. a+c better

          2. Netley Lucas
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            That's easy, Kane & Hazard.

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

          Sanchez* Alli Siggy Phillips T.Carroll
          Kane Lukaku

          Heaton Jones* Ibra* Amat

          2ft, 0.1itb

          Sanchez to Hazard and..

          A) Mustafi > Brunt
          B) Mustafi > Walker
          C) Mustafi > Alonso
          D) Mustafi & Jones > Alonso/Walker & Brunt -4

          So I'm planning for the GW28 blanks and need to shift out either Ibra or Sanchez this week

          Then it's goodbye to Alli, Defoe and Amat

          So who should I bring in this week?

          It's either Rondon, Carroll or Llorente

          OR

          Antonio, Barkley, Snodgrass, Stanislas

          Surely worth using h FT rather than having a blank in GW26

          Or am I missing something?

          1. Bellerinmondo
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            None of those options look super appealing. Barkley I guess. King from Bournemouth could be a better bet than Stan ( I own Stan)

          2. MTPockets
              7 years, 2 months ago

              Not sure. With Costa/Lukau none of Rondon, Carroll or Llorente appeal personally. Leaving Kane perhaps.
              Mids - west ham for me, but can't decide which. Ideally Antonio/Lanzini but latter doesn't always get 90 mins.

              So waiting on further news before transferring either.

              Has to be Barkley here.

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Maguire or Mawson for blanks and beyond ?
            Was planning Maguire until today!

            1. Prøfeßör …
              • 7 Years
              7 years, 2 months ago

              Mawson and Jak.

            2. MTPockets
                7 years, 2 months ago

                Maybe getting Mawson for Amat, but have Jaku already.

              • suddenorgan
                • 13 Years
                7 years, 2 months ago

                Maguire if you need a GW26 option

            3. Henning
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 2 months ago

              Is there anywhere i can see the average transfers so far.

              i have done 46 transfer , thats to many i think

              1. Epic Fail
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 13 Years
                7 years, 2 months ago

                No such thing as too many. Only too many if the transfer doesn't work.

              Hi.
              A) Anichebe -> under 7.0
              B) Ibra -> Costa
              C) Sanchez -> Hazard

              1. Cahill
                • 13 Years
                7 years, 2 months ago

                same issue!

                thinking sanchez - hazard/mane or anichebe - carroll

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

                  Is carroll fit?

                Ibra to Costa for free?

                  --------------------Foster---------------------
                  ----Alonso Coleman Daniels Brunt----
                  Sanchez(!) Alli Antonio Siggy Phillips

                  Pickford Pieters Ibrahimovic(!) Jesus(!)

                  Gw26: Sanchez > Mane
                  GW27: Save FT
                  GW28: Pieters Alli > Robertson Huddlestone (leaves enough ITB for >
                  Gw29: Phillips > Sanchez

                  Leaves 11 for next week, 10 for gw28 with Ibra, Jesus, Mane, Alonso on bench. Decent plan?

                  *Aware of potential Mane blank but think Leicester will avoid a replay at all cost with CL and a relegation dogfight on their hands.
