Dugout Discussion

Dugout Discussion – Saturday

With the Spurs stroll providing a healthy set of early returns, we now roll on with a collection of five afternoon kick-offs.

Harry Kane’s double figure return puts the onus on Romelu Lukaku to match or even better his Golden Boot rival.

The Everton striker will face a Burnley today, having scored in seven successive Goodison Park matches. He’s backed by 892,000+ (20.2%) with the captaincy – the top pick in Gameweek 33 – including 60 of the top 100 Fantasy Premier League managers.

Elsewhere, the Fantasy interest is somewhat limited, although Crystal Palace’s Selhurst Park meeting with Leicester City offers us another opportunity to scout their assets ahead of the Gameweek 34 double. Wilfried Zaha is perhaps the key target on show – he’s been brought in by 188,000 ahead of today’s clash, second only to Kane.

Gylfi Sigurdsson has another chance to halt his alarming decline when Swansea City travel to Watford. Surely a must-win clash for the Swans, Sigurdsson will be seeking his first return for four Gameweeks having lost 121,000+ owners this week, only Chelsea’s Diego Costa has suffered greater sales.

Finally, Stoke City take on Hull City at the bet365 stadium in a fixture which is unlikely to impact our tallies, while Sunderland host West Ham at the Stadium of Light, with Jermain Defoe seeking to re-ignite his goalscoring form and Andy Carroll back to lead the line for the Hammers.

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

    4. nkhoughton
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 23 days ago

    5. Viprin
      • 8 Years

    6. fedolefan

      And score the only goal of the game? Yes.

    2. Hotdogs for Tea

  7. Sterling is £11Mill..…
    • 7 Years

    Whos the worst London club, West Ham or Arsenal?

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 23 days ago

      Millwall

    2. Sp0rting
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 23 days ago

      Hackney Cabbies FC

    3. nkhoughton
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 23 days ago

      I'm sure both are better than millwall

    4. BRFC1883

      Check the league table

    5. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Spurs

    6. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 7 Years

      Fake Taxi FC

    7. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      orient?

  8. Lizard Lips
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 23 days ago

    Resisted Eriksen Kun and Barnes to Zaha Benteke Kane (c) -8

    Everytime I resist it goes wrong, everytime I go for it, it backfires.

    1. Ravager
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 23 days ago

      Still don't know what Kun might bring...

    2. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 23 days ago

      Would've only broken even

    3. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 23 days ago

      you've not mentioned this before.
      why not?

  9. diesel001

    Jagielka (31)
    Lukaku (30)
    Williams (30)
    Baines (29)
    Vokes (28)
    Barkley (25)

    1. Numb
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 23 days ago

      For Lukaku depends of shots on and off target and dispossessions.

    2. The Tinkerman
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 23 days ago

      Jagielka (31)
      Baines (30)
      Lukaku (30)
      Williams (30)

      It changes every minute. Baines ended well, created a good chance, could climb further.

  10. Numb
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 23 days ago

    Hard to call Lukaku baps - could be anywhere between 0 and 3

    Given his high EO I tend to think he'll get at least 2

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 23 days ago

      nice view

          I see the 5k workout is really beginning to have an effect, Numb.

  11. alangreat
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 23 days ago

    Zaha or Townsend?

    Townsend on some set pieces and looks a better passer;
    Zaha is more physical and direct....thoughts?

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 23 days ago

      I may double up...

      1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 23 days ago

        I wouldn't.

    2. Numb
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 23 days ago

      Close one. Both are on form.

    3. Vlad Tepes
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 23 days ago

      Same problem.

      Gonna do Sigurdsson ---> Zaha/Townsend

      Dont know which one to pick....

  12. Rainer
    • 7 Years

    Kane LOLs @ Kaku

  13. Sims
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 23 days ago

    Just had a look at the stats

    Lukaku will 100% get 0 baps

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 23 days ago

      Ye, he'll be doing well to get 1.

      1. Sims
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 23 days ago

        Absolutely no chance

        1. Rainer
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 23 days ago

          I don't think you understand what I'm saying to you right now.

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie

      Felt the same way last week as a stones owner after bravos performance...

  16. Dušan Citizen
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 23 days ago

    Only 45 (-4, after bonus) with Ibra and Sanchez to go.

    Pretty bad.

    1. Digital-Real
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 23 days ago

      a Sanchez goal and Ibra goal or assist and that score wouldn't be so bad

  17. Fowler23
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 23 days ago

    Stones injured or rested? Have Fuchs coming in for him.

    1. Mark-O
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 23 days ago

      Lucky u

      Rested

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Just rubbish

  18. Pigeon
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 23 days ago

    Townsend or Zaha in place of Siggy? Tempted to go Zaha but feel like Townsend will get more points

    1. timPgoodwin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 23 days ago

      I'm looking at Walcott instead. Zaha was poop today.

      1. Pigeon
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 23 days ago

        Hmm Walcott seems a good choice for Sanchez replacement still thinking of getting a palace player tho

    2. Sims
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 23 days ago

      Zaha is far more consistent. Townshend may outscore him but highly unlikely

      1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 23 days ago

        zaha is not consistent himself

    3. insertcomedyname
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 23 days ago

      Wrestling with the same choice. Will probably end up following the crowd and go for Zaha

  19. JÆKS ⭐
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 23 days ago

    If Negredo does well, I might sell Crouch for him with my FT, ignore Lukaku to Ibra and bench Siggy to play 343

  20. We Will Klopp you
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 23 days ago

    The armband is not leaving Kane's shoulder for the rest of the season, he is far too explosive

    1. Bubz
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 23 days ago

      He doesnt have a DGW next week though

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 23 days ago

      Play the percentages.

    2. Tansey
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 23 days ago

      Lukaku

    3. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 23 days ago

      Ibra. Not worth the risk. Owning Kane will be enough next GW.
