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.

    We've checked Mark's team, that's a definite Mawson OG.

    FPL Official @fplofficial 15 secs
    After a second review of Mark's team we've come to the conclusion that it is Afobe goal, King assist.

    It was wide and will be an OG.

        Looks fairly obvious from link on previous page.

      Would like to see llorente do the 40 yard dash!

          Do you have a spare three hours?

          Sick of owning him already.

            • 13 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            The cool guys sold him for Kane

            Llorente out, Gabbi in this week

            7 years, 2 months ago

            Don't know if it's the camera angle but always think Bournemouth has a tight park and it will be ideal for him in terms of getting balls in the box. Formation doesn't really help him with the lack of width

      2. Shultan
        • 8 Years

        How is that not an OG?
        Afobes shot was going left of goal

          Can still be changed.

            • 13 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Will be changed

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

              Should be changed

                • 12 Years
                7 years, 2 months ago

                Has been changed.

        Is the international break a good time to WC dont think I can wait now. If I rollover frees I can bring in more Dgwers

        Thoughts?

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          If you know the DGW fixtures, it could be.

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

            When do we expect them to be announced, I mean we know the teams who have dgws already

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

          As good as anytime really. With luck we should know the confirm DGW dates so that would massively help you.

        3. Revival
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Wait until some of the DGW's are confirmed..will make planning for them so much easier

      4. Freshy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I shipped Kingsley for Mowson this GW
        Must not be a OG

        1. Ha.
          • 8 Years

          Oh, so it's YOUR fault

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

        Do we think Sanchez is going to rise in price tonight?

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

          No.

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

            @99%

            Can't imagine too many selling just yet?

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

              Ridiculous to buy him tonight. Dropping in lower according to FPL stats.

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

                I've seen stranger things happen...

        2. The Big Fella
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Depends on injury I suppose

      6. Nellybc
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Gabbi & ?? > Benteke & Defoe

        Leaves 12 ITB. Trying to save some to upgrade to Sanchez possibly for DGW's

        A: Kane
        B: Costa
        C: Vardy
        D: Another ??

        Lukaku is other striker. Trying to play 3 strikers.

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

          Why are you selling Gabbi?

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

            Wait, surely you mean the other way, right?

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

              Sorry! Completely messed that up...

              The other way...

          Good stuff

      8. Yank Revolution

        Officially OG for Mawson according to announcers.

      9. Rainer
        • 7 Years

        OG 🙂

      11. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Is it just me or is it out of order that people can enter the cup after the deadline when they have a good score? 😐

        2. Yank Revolution
          • 12 Years

          Which cup and how can I enter?!!!

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years

          "Fantasy managers can enter their teams from now right up to 10.30am on Monday March 27, when we’ll stop entry and make the first round draws shortly after."

        4. McEwan
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          I do agree with that. Although, I didn't realise there was one running until someone mentioned it earlier and fired in an entry! Justice will be that I won't qualify! I am a bye for any contributor tho, akers, mark have both eliminated me! Mark with his Yakuku 4 goal haul if I remember

        5. Woy of the Wovers
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Yes. But FFS tournaments have always allowed this.

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

            In the beginning, they were closed to entries by the gw deadline. The site has blown up since so I don't argue against opening it up to the massives with a longer entry period to keep as many happy as poss.

      12. Les Bleus
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Mawson OG finally given.

      13. fedolefan
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        So who's going to break the news to Afobe that he didn't score the goal?

        1. Wild Rover
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Shreeve

      14. Puzzle

        Good old Phil Neville, after it's confirmed, "got to be, going off target" not once did he suggest that when the goal went in!

        1. Rainer
          • 7 Years

          He still talking about Herrera's red?

        So King almost scored a OG and Mawson did get one.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years

          And Siggy almost scored and assisted

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

          ... can tell which one is in Marks team so

      21. fedolefan
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Damn it. Mawson second on my bench behind an injured Walker.

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

          Walker may yet play?

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

            Yeah, I was cool thinking Mawson was second or third until I just remembered that Walker may not play. Suddenly becomes a little more relevant. Fairly unlucky I'd say, if I get that OG with two players missing.

      22. Bruno Bruno!!
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        All the people who had Funes Mori and Mawson first Sub must be pleased that FM got a 1 point cameo appearance
