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.

    how are your half price hits doing for you? my -12 gives me +9 (colman lanzini llorente with firmino to come )

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

      4 point hit to get 20
      Lovely

    2. Rains of Castamere
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      -8 for King, Coutinho and Carroll.

      Currently +12 with Cout left, good times.

    3. John t penguin
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      King Antonio Lukaku
      Got some I think

    4. Al Bundy
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      -8 for Olsson and Lanzini scoring 2. 🙁

      But i reckon i'll get it back longterm for Holebas and Allen

    5. Ha.
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      +1 😀

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

      Llorente - semi long term buy injured.

      Lanzini and Groscki short term punts blank.

      Lukaku long term buy. Only one that paid off.

    7. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      -12 to get 41 if you count Captain points from Kaku

    8. Magic Bean
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      -8 to get 1

      1. The Head-Ake
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        (-12) giving me +12 with Coutinho to go.

    9. jason_ni
      • 8 Years

      -8 Gibson, Sanchez, Phillips out

    10. Olee
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

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

        1. Jereme Halliday
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          yes, prices don't matter now really

  6. Rains of Castamere
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Josh King GW 28 - 18 points

  7. John t penguin
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    May be hard to sell king siggy and Antonio they are all regular point scorers

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 14 Years

    2. Pep bites Kun
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

  13. Ha.
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Is Amat likely to start the next game?

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      possibly, who went off injured?

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

        Rangel

  15. FFPro
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Everyone told me not to do Firmino -> King -4.......

    .... I didn't listen

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

      watch Firm get 15 tomorrow

      1. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Firm = 0 pts. You know it, I know it. Klopp won't even name him on the bench.

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      that everyone guy needs to get a telling off

  16. GreenArrows
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    44 (-8) with Cout, Mane and Gray to go, hoping for a green arrow to move up from 143K

    1. @fpl_phenom
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      52 on -8 with Mane and Heaton to go... looks like a heap of baps coming my way too... definite green arrows this week for me!

    2. E25
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Surely a green arrow from 143k?

  17. @fpl_phenom
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Exact money to do below and want to do it before price changes! No brainer right?

    Carrol and Lloriente > Kane and Costa???????

    leaves me with the following team:

    Pickford
    Coleman Valencia Alonso
    Mane Siggy King Eriksen
    Kane Costa Lukaku
    -------------------------------
    Heaton T.Carroll Brunt Maguire

  18. mr messi
    • 13 Years

    Finally some luck with King!

    1. Fred54
      • 9 Years

      He gets pens every game.

  19. andymck

    As if Siggy is on for two bonus...not complaining

    1. @fpl_phenom
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      was he poor?

      1. andymck
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I didn't watch the game but I wasn't expecting baps for just an assist, haha

        1. E25
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          BPS Magnet

  20. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    So for those debating Amat's clean sheet potential..he's on null points 🙂

    What week are people using WC?

    1. andymck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Week before Dgws probably

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

      36.

    3. afcblegend
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I've used mine this GW

    4. matiakez
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Once the doubles are announced.

  22. GoonerByron
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Had to pick between Antonio and King.. Wrong pick yet again 🙁

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

      You could have picked Lanzini 😉

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      antonio scored

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

      Made the same call. He still scored and could get a bap. Not the end of the world by any means.

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

        Its a 10 point loss though. Suppose I could've got Lanzini all the same

    4. Conk
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Same, felt so good for a while, now feels horrific

    5. E25
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Really that upset with a goal + bonus and a better mid term option?
      Some went Lanzini or Snod (not me 🙂

  23. UnitedFan
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Why was Baines replaced? Didn't watch the game.

    1. John t penguin
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Small knock

  24. Over Midwicket
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Why didn't I captain Lukaku...

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

      Because Coutinho or Mane will score more

      1. E25
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        GL

  25. Essan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    My Ml leader got 18 with just Mane left - and captained Rondon 😀

    I was 58pts behind in 2nd, gonna close that gap nicely!

  26. FPLtfs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    47 points so far + bonus for Randolph (2), Antonio (1) and Lukaku (6) = 56.
    Coutinho and Mane left.

    OK so far, but a stone in my shoe is ML rival had King (c)

  27. NestorC
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Not having King killed my rank, plus two hits for Llorente and FunesM, great week so far.

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      hardly, very lowly owned

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

        well his rank would be much better with king

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

        Enough for red arrow though

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

      He's not exactly highly owned though

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

        My biggest rival has him, and a lot of managers in top 10k I guess

  28. Annie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Benchwankery at its finest

  29. Footballfriend
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Absolutely furious with myself, Big calls were Olsson or Mawson and King or Lanzini, naturally I got both wrong 🙁

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      i had mawson all week then went olsson because he had decent stats
