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.

  5. F4L
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Maybe Sterling is Jesus reincarnated. Therefore Jesus should get the points for the goal

      1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Toooo be fair.... I just got shown a replay showing he was miles onside so assumed that was the call...

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

          Don't be so quick to pull the trigger 😉

          1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
            • 10 Years

            That's what this place is all about lol

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

          Assuming don't make good calls

        3. Teahupo'o
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Nope. Watching NBCSN. The same replay showed the shirt pull quite clearly.

  13. ★Kuntheman★

    Owning Sane's OTW card on Fifa 🙂

    1. F4L
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I own Higuain's was so close to a hattie yesterday 🙁

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        You've still made more than enough already with him though

        1. F4L
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          yea, about 60k

    2. Make United Great Again
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      How much?

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Bought for 35k recently, usually he's around 55k but he shoots up to 70k whenever he starts and goes up to 90k whenever he gets attacking points. Such a steal.

  14. Bubz
    • 10 Years

    Omg a referee doing his job properly 😯

    1. Leaf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      We wouldn't of allowed this at Arsenal 🙂

  15. President Giggs
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    I think Stanislas -> King is looking like an obvious transfer to make now

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

      Yep

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

      Seems a lot of movement in Bournemouth attacking places.....before u know it king will be benched and stanislas starting.....

    Ref might have been doing his job, but would have preferred it if the goal had stood. Make the match more interesting.

  18. MTPockets
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Jesus off already. Excellent.

    • Alexis Nonsense
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Best striker with no blanks?

      Have Lukaku

      1. Camp No No
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Carroll. No blanks, right?

        1. Alexis Nonsense
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Yes, but I'm worried about him being flagged

          1. Camp No No
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            minor flag, didn't Bilic say he could have actually been back for last GW already? I'm quite confident he will play the upcoming GW already.

      2. lespaul
        • 14 Years

        Lukaku

    • Lawrø

      Clattenburg would have awarded Bournemouth a penalty there.

      Respect for the shirt pull, though. Defenders do that in the box every corner.
