Dugout Discussion

Dugout Discussion – Sunderland vs Manchester United

The first of two Sunday fixtures gets underway at 1.30pm this afternoon as Sunderland welcome Manchester United to the Stadium of Light.

The most popular captaincy choice for Gameweek 32, Zlatan Ibrahimovic has been handed the armband by 15.7% of Fantasy Premier League managers ahead of a visit to the basement-dwellers.

Encouragingly for his owners, the veteran delivered his highest haul of the season against the Black Cats, with a goal and two assists helping him to 15 points back in Gameweek 18.

With eight fixtures remaining in the final six Gameweeks, including a double Gameweek 34, the likes of Paul Pogba and Henrikh Mkhitaryan can play their way into our plans for the run-in today.

Those holding the hosts’ Jermain Defoe will be buoyed by the absence of David de Gea, who misses out for the first time this term with “a little problem, according to his manager.

Meanwhile, Antonio Valencia’s 17% owners are left frustrated yet again, as the Ecuadorian is omitted from the squad for the second match in succession.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    By my reckoning Chelsea, Spurs, City, United, Arsenal (2 fixtures), Southampton (2 fixtures), Watford, Leicester, and Sunderland all have fixtures to make up which aren't currently on the ticker. Anyone got any ideas when these games are played? Need to plot my wildcard and chips very carefully based on this info

        not sure, i read somewhere that the DGWs were going to be announced at the end of last week so it must be soon, would expect to get an announcement next week I guess

      That spreadsheet explains it. Most of the fixtures are likely to take place in GW37, but no official announcement yet

    I need help! Do I or dont I push the WC button?

    Ive had a real shocker recently including this week, My def and fwds arent looking good (see below) and ive fallen to my lowest rank of the season (287K)

    Jakupovic Mannone
    Alonso Valencia Lovren Brunt Robertson
    Sanchez Alli Siggy Coutinho De Roon
    Defoe Lukaku Origi

    My plan was always to use the WC in 35 or 36 and then use BB in 37. I also have TC. But can I afford to wait?

    2 FTs and 0.5 ITB. Is it worthwhile doing:

    a) Ibra > Kane this week and then Kane > Ibra for DGW or

    b) Llorente, Sánchez,McAuley > Kane, Walcott, Yoshida for - 4

    c) recommend an alternative

    Current Team

    Grant

    Alonso, Davies, Valencia

    Alli, Sánchez, Sigurdsson, Lanzini

    Llorente, Ibrahimovic, Lukaku

    Bench: Heaton, de Roon, McAuley, Amat

    Thanks
