Dugout Discussion

Dugout Discussion – Bournemouth vs Swansea

Saturday’s events conclude on the south coast as Bournemouth host Swansea City at the Vitality Stadium.

It’s a fitting finale for Fantasy managers, who will have keen interest in several key assets who promise another round of returns.

Josh King will be the headline act following his Gameweek 28 exploits that brought an 18-point return. More than 221,000 FPL managers swooped for the Norwegian ahead of today’s contest, with another 20,000 going so far as to hand him the armband.

But the Swans boast their own major assets, as Gylfi Sigurdsson looks to return points once again: he’s provided a goal or an assist in eight of his nine outings under Paul Clement.

Meanwhile, Fernando Llorente is fit to lead the attack for the Welsh club as he bids to reward a flood of new owners that arrived prior to Gameweek 28. More than 116,000 sold the Spanish striker ahead of this evening’s game following his one-point return and early exit at Hull City last weekend

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

      110k to 63k on a 10k GW rank. Get in. All the better after two horrible weeks. Still no Spurs or city tomorrow.

        That's a great jump but you will take a bit of a battering tomorrow - hopefully not too bad. Well done! 😀

          You still top 1 or 2 k OR?

          If Kun kicks off tomorrow you will beat me in GW and in to top 1k I'd say. GL

  2. Bruno Bruno!!

    Gone up from 292k to 225K this GW, gained 120k places over last 2 GW

    1. KingNidge

      Go clean on

      Nice one (or two)

      1. Bruno Bruno!!
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 12 days ago

        Thanks hoping for a top 40k finish this season, top 10k seems a bit unrealistic at this stage

            True say, I feel my starting 11 is in good shape and can carry me through to the DGW's. Any thoughts you have for me would be appreciated

              We have very similar teams. Sterling worth holding in the short term or not with those fixtures? See how he and Spurs go tomorrow I suppose.

  3. Darklord_bg
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 12 days ago

    Any ideas:

    Pickford, (Foster)
    Alonso, Coleman, Valencia, (Brunt, Amat)
    Mane, Alli, Eriksen, Coutinho, Siggy
    Costa, Lukaku, (Barnes)

    Should I do Costa to Gabbi, perhaps, or keep?

  4. Atimis
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 12 days ago

    Sanchez - if it's nothing too serious, you recon he can recover during this international break ?

    1. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 12 days ago

      If it is not too serious, yes. However, we just don't know. I own, and I am going to hold until I hear some medical reports, and then decide.

      1. Atimis
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 12 days ago

        Same here mate 😉

    Mark is currently 863rd in the world, awesome

  6. Danstoke82

    How serious did the Alexis injury look?

    1. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 12 days ago

      On the one hand, he played another 30 minutes on it, but the other hand, Wenger said in a post match interview, that it was terrible. So, not sure.

      1. Fred54
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 12 days ago

        Wenger trying to play it up. Although playing games with Sanchez seems futile.

    2. Hooky
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 12 days ago

      He didn't even go down the tunnel when he went off. Wenger probably making it sound worse so he doesn't have to go to Chile.

  7. Ryan Naysmith
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 12 days ago

    i've gone from 120k to 75k, sterling and mane to play. No spurs cover.

  8. Harper (No more Penandes)
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Is it very likely that City will blank in GW34? All the more reason to get rid of Kun and Sterling I guess.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 12 days ago

      City will have a game in 34

      1. Harper (No more Penandes)
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 12 days ago

        Ok. I just saw that their fixture that needs to be rearranged is vs West Brom who might blank in that gameweek

        1. Harper (No more Penandes)
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 12 days ago

          Tbh though I have no clue how this fixture rearrangement thing works

    3. Fred54

      Isnt the Manchester Derby in 34?

      1. Harper (No more Penandes)
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 12 days ago

        That would make sense yeah. So United double gameweek in 34.

    4. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      They will have game that week but just in another day

  11. Colonel Shoe 肝池

    going to be a difficult decision picking between gabbi n vardy

    1. Atimis
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 12 days ago

      As I have Carroll Llorente now may bring these 2 instead of Costa

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 12 days ago

      I did Kane>Vardy before this GW now I guess Llorente>Gabbi

      I've no interest in never hauls Costa which I guess is making it hard for some managers

    Currently 69/8 with Valdes, Walker (Jones a.e. if Walker out. If Jones out will get Pieters a.e.) & Mane to play.
    Since I used my 2nd wc in gw20 my OR has risen from 737k to 65k.

      Sanchez owners. If he's out, though I will wait, is Alli or Haz a better replacement. Currently no attacking cover from Spurs or Chelsea.
