Dugout Discussion

Dugout Discussion – Bournemouth vs Man City

Gameweek 25 concludes at the Vitality Stadium with Bournemouth paying host to Pep Guardiola’s Mancheseter City.

Once again Pep’s teamsheet steals the pre-match headlines, with Gabriel Jesus preferred as his central striker, leaving Sergio Aguero on the bench for a third successive outing.

Transferred in by more than 210,000 ahead of Gameweek 25, Jesus is skippered by 156,000 tonight up against a Cherries defence that has shipped more Premier League goals than any other side in 2017, conceding three or more in eight of their last twelve matches.

That defence is at last bolstered tonight by an array of returnees, as Charlie Daniels, Simon Francis and Adam Smith all overcome knocks to claim berths.

Elsewhere, manager Eddie Howe prefers Jordan Ibe to Junior Stanislas on the right flank, as Josh King again leads the attack.

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

      First touch looked wide of the post to me

      1. Syd.
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        It did just depends if anyone in FPL Towers has Aguero (C)

      Ball changed direction before the OG, so should be Aguero assist.

      Good news for me, as Sterling has more than 13% ownership in top 10K 😀

    Before the crucial defeat by Swansea City some of the Leicester team were laughing and joking with Nathan Dyer, who was on loan at the King Power last season. They looked like they were preparing for a friendly match rather than a must-win relegation dogfight.

    Wow leicester have a sucks mentality here

      Chatting with a long time team mate? Not sure what's wrong with that. You could find plenty of examples of that.

      How dare they. Sack them all.

      Don't see anything wrong with that.
      Once the game starts that's where the problem lies.

    My Sterling to Eriksen transfer gw23 has worked wonders. Lovely.

    1. tm245
      • 12 Years

      Rough.

    Lol FPL given it to aguero

    1. deathorglory
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      And assist to Sterling

      Good 🙂

    2. Hurricane Gilbert
      • 8 Years

      Poor Mings owners

    3. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      So has whoscored and they are pretty high standard

  9. Kiwivillan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Any goal that's not Kolarov of KDB related is ok by me

  10. TOBY1

    I'm buying sterling after gw28. Been excellent recently. Compared to likes of hazard he's a much better buy.

    1. F4L
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      nope, too on off

      1. TOBY1
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        And hazard isn't? At least sterling is reasonably priced.

        Would prefer a mane/sterling combo than hazard / Phillips

        1. F4L
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Haz Mane Alli Siggy the best midfield going forward

  11. Rainer

    Aguero's touch going onto the post. Only an assist surely.

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

      It was going in off the post though. Clearly.

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

        Post is offside. But you knew that 😛

        1. Rainer
          • 7 Years

          Off target*

  12. Unsuccessful
    • 10 Years

    Good night for Sterling.

  13. Somalion
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    So who is doing Jesus -> Kun (-4) for that nice juicy blank?

    1. F4L
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      was thinking Gabbadini

    2. Kane-harry Island
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Jesus will be back for 27.

  14. Differentiator
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Bring on Junior...

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

    WBA want to appeal their goal and give it to Evans

    1. Hurricane Gilbert
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Mark doesn't approve...

    2. dark91
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Won't change anything fpl wise though, right ?
      Just like readjusted yellow and red cards

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

      Seriously?

    4. HurriKane
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      nice want my genuine brunt assist back

  16. Toby Lerone
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Reckon they will get the scorer of that goal right?

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

      They're looking at it, could change.

  17. Forza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    It's obvious by now that the goals panel really don't care as much as we do. They'll probably give the goal.

  18. DeadStarComing
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Jesus didn't get it. That's all that matters.

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

    1. Nomar

    Goal - AGUERO to be confirmed
    Assist - STERLING to be confirmed

      @OfficialFPL

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

        Surely not a Brunt assist

  21. TaiwanHC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    That must be an own goal!!!

  22. Bazzalona
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Own goal imo.
    That's going by today's pedantic standards, in normality you'd give it to Aguero.

  23. F4L
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Whos gonna finish higher, Spurs or City?

  24. TorresMagic™

    My rival did Aguero > Lukaku and Friend > Alonso for a hit. Can't help but laugh at the guy... as he overtakes me in our ML.
