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.

        Switched the other way Rover!

        After so many fails, I feel I deserve it!

    Kiss of death from commentator:

    "Goals almost guaranteed in this one. The two worst defences in the Premier League".

    Could have said similar about Sunderland - Burnley and look how that turned out.

    1. Dr. Mantis Toboggan
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      More goals in these teams though.

      I have Pickford and Defoe so a Sunderlnd goal would have been magic

      Rival has two Bournemouth defenders so I'd like Swansea to hammer them. But King has to score too.

        Hey TM, Will the rank pre or post GW 29 be the determinant in case of a tie ?

    FFS cup qualifying score will be very high.

    I don't like that your overall rank settles any ties... Why does "league" performance affect the cup competition. Goals scored, clean sheets, assists etc first IMO.

    Appreciate it and all but just my opinion.

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Good players deserve that small advantage.

      1. greghammer95
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        There's a million reasons one could have a bad rank. Mine is I didn't play the first 8-9 weeks properly.

        It's like saying United should get the 3 points in the event of any draw.

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

      More work to use those over rank.

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

      Probably easier for folks involved in running it than having to examine multiple parameters.

      1. greghammer95
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        This and TM above is fair enough, no-ones full time job... Can't be that many ties can there?
