Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Saturday

A disrupted Gameweek 28 fixture list delivers just three matches for Saturday afternoon.

Much of our focus will be on the events at Goodison Park, with this week’s leader of the Captain Poll Romelu Lukaku in action against his former side West Bromwich Albion.

The Everton striker is the second most bought player this week, attracting over 363,000 new owners, having returned in each of his last four home outings. The Belgian will be seeking his 19th goal of the season which would represent his biggest ever Premier League season haul; it’s worth noting, however, that the Toffees have failed to score in their last three home encounters against the Baggies.

Swansea City’s Fernando Llorente was the major transfer bandwagon heading into Gameweeks 28 on the back of his brace in the 3-2 win over Burnley. His 375,000 new owners will be hoping he and Gylfi Sigurdsson can produce once again when the Swans travel to Hull City – the Icelander has produced returns in seven of his last eight Gameweeks.

Bournemouth will be looking to put an end to their run of eight matches without a win when they entertain West Ham United on the south coast.

Josh King, who has scored five goals in his last six appearances, could be the key man for the Cherries once again. Meanwhile, the Hammers will look to Andy Carroll and Michail Antonio to inflict the damage. Back from a one-match suspension, the latter will be hoping to end a run of eight matches without a goal – his longest dry spell of the season.

      Llorente didn't work for me

    Damn no King and being a Cherries fan to say I have mixed feelings is an understatement. Not worth getting him in now though surely? not without DGW's

    59pts (47 net) with 3 (4 if Bobby F is fit) still to play.

    No one in my ML took hits to field players so feeling pretty pretty pretty good widening my lead at the top.

    Phillips being ruled out was a massive bonus for those who got King.

      Phillips being ruled out is what made my mind up

    Well done lads on King. It's great being on FFS when something like this happens. I don't own him and he didn't even come into my thinking.

    Enjoy the moment 🙂

      Got in Coutinho instead of King ffs. And Baines went off at half-time. And I took a -16 after no hits last week. Not my finest week.

      45 after bonus points with Mane, Coutinho and Heaton to play. But after the hit it's only 29 in reality.

    5. Spg76

      Who said this was going to be a low scoring GW ?

      1. MTPockets
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Average is 15

        Not doing Phillips -> King a few weeks ago has gone horribly wrong. The last two GWs couldn't have gone much worse tbh.

          and I thought there was no point getting King on a 1 week punt. How wrong was I

            Same here been an absolute nightmare. There was nothing in it at the time, even an article on here saying there was nothing in it

          This season is a joke, every week I've gone into it with a team I've felt quite happy with and done poorly in comparison.

          This week I had 11 players including Funes Mori, Brunt & Rondon, and after bonus today I should be on 61(-8) with 4 left to play.

          What a week for those who prepared!
