Dugout Discussion

Dugout Discussion – Tuesday

Double Gameweek 37 enters its fifth day of action this evening, serving up two more fixtures to entertain Fantasy managers.

Arsenal welcome Sunderland to the Emirates in the 7.45pm kick-off as Alexis Sanchez looks to add to his goal and assist haul in Saturday’s demolition of Stoke.

Captained by 10.6% of FPL managers, the Chilean is the second most popular armband pick for the Gameweek. As expected, he has shrugged off a leg problem to start against the Black Cats, while fellow weekend scorers Mesut Ozil and Olivier Giroud are also named in the first XI as Arsene Wenger’s side attempt to keep their hopes of a top-four finish alive.

Man City entertain West Bromwich Albion in the second match of their Double Gameweek at 8pm.

Sergio Aguero returns to the starting XI alongside Gabriel Jesus as Raheem Sterling drops to the bench for the home side. The Argentine produced zero points as a sub at home to Leicester on Saturday, though boasting a 17% ownership, he is City’s most captained player (8.1%) for their pair of fixtures.

The top transfer target for Double Gameweek 37, Jesus rewarded his 217,000+ new owners with an eight-point haul against the Foxes, while Leroy Sane’s 7% backers will be hoping for more of the same after he delivered a season-high 11 points in the weekend win.

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

    Sell Alli or Hazard for Coutinho?

    1. AA33
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Hazard

    2. Sgt. Schultz

      billion dollar question

    3. S.Agueroooooo
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      perhaps neither? Is there a weak player in your team this week that could be changed for a higher chance of guaranteed points.

      Both of those could outscore coutinho

          Sane so mate.

  3. Delhidynamo
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Exact money for

    Haz and Gabbi ➡ Lallana and Diego

    tempting

    1. Jayv807
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      I was thinking Diego to Vardy, worried Costa's care factor is low

      1. S.Agueroooooo
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        expect there is a better transfer you can do

        1. Jayv807
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          Probably, I will likely join the cout bandwagon and bring him in for Ozil. But I wouldn't bring Costa in if I didn't have him already.

  4. Just Been On Loan

    Alexis Sanchez you beautiful beautiful man.

    3 weeks ago, I'd accepted my fate of 2nd in my ML, with 1st somehow 117 points ahead.

    Last night I overtook him to go top. Must be plenty of similar stories...

    1. Sgt. Schultz
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      FPL gives us all a new lease of life

    2. Jayv807
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Similar for me, 107 pts down after GW35. Ml leader had Sanchez but TC'd Costa. I'm up 15 now.

    3. Shifty
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      :O not as big a gap as that, but yea Sanchez has put me in pole position in mine out of nowhere

    4. Triple C
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Same here man, was some 100points behind, now I'm on top with 67 ahead of the second and 4 more players to go.... 🙂

    5. Live Lad
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      I had him most of the time this season. After watching him play earlier in the season, I was determined to keep him whenever fit.

  5. FrankieTheGent
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    So sorry (bottomed - and this is important to me)
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    I think there's a bug in the FPL monthly league table (and I play in a monthly cash game) !!!!!

    If the first wee of the Month has a hit it ISN'T subtracted from the monthly score. Only subsequent week's hits are .

    Can someone check this for me, please ?
    And if it's the case, WTF?

    1. FrankieTheGent
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      *week

      I'm calling bs you aren't sorry at all

      1. FrankieTheGent
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        True. And I got a reply on the previous page to boot.
        In all seriousness this is incredibly incompetant from FPL

        1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          It's bizarre if you aren't missing something . I'm on the bus on way to work so I can't check

    3. MTPockets
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Yeah pretty sure I've read about that before.

        1. FrankieTheGent
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          Good grief !

          1. MTPockets
              6 years, 11 months ago

              I'd forgotten about it but:

              FPL - Rules - Leagues - Classic Scoring
              "...Any transfer point deductions in the Gameweek before a phase starts won't be deducted from the phase score. For example, any transfers made in Gameweek 3 (preparing for Gameweek 4) won't be deducted from your September score."

        2. GivetNgog
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          Afraid that's correct - debatable whether the right policy, but they do state this in the rules (Help > Rules > Leagues > Classic scoring). Assume it's done so people can prepare for a particular month with impunity, and thus encourage more to do so. Should at least be taken off the previous month's score (the week it's actually made) but sounds like it's not...

          1. FrankieTheGent
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 11 months ago

            Genuinely gob-smacked

      • AA33
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Will Costa and Pedro start in GW 38?

        1. Delhidynamo
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          I'm a little worried about Bats getting a continued run in

        2. bigbudgie
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          Costa I think yes. Pedro I don't know.

      • Bubz
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Would you play Monreal (EVE) or Stephens (STO)?

        1. Jam0sh
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          Monreal

        2. Sgt. Schultz
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          Stephens sure to start ? Monreal I would say

        3. MTPockets
            6 years, 11 months ago

            Stephens

        4. Shifty
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          Front 8 AOA for GW38 at the moment. 2FT, 0 in bank. Thoughts?

          Sanchez Hazard Eriksen King Albrighton
          Kane Jesus Gabbiadini

          A) Hazard + Albrighton + Gabbiadini > Coutinho + Fabregas + Lolrente (-4)
          B) Hazard + Albrighton > Coutinho + Fabregas. and hope Gabbi plays on AOA
          C) Do B...ditch AOA and play Monreal over Gabbi.

          Thanks

          1. Shifty
            • 10 Years
            6 years, 11 months ago

            Argh mistake again - C) is Bailly over Gabbi

          2. Jayv807
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 11 months ago

            I'd play Albrighton, been playing well and plays BOU at home. Just do Haz to cout and Gabbi to best you can afford.

            1. Shifty
              • 10 Years
              6 years, 11 months ago

              Cheers Jayv.

              I could afford Hazard > Coutinho, Gabbi > Vardy...funded by Bailly/Monreal > cheapie (-4).

              Probably worth a hit and you're right...LEI could do very well, last home game of a season they need to make right for their fans.

        5. Karan14
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          Chances of De Bruyne being benched against Watford?

          Thinking of doing Hazard to Kdb!

          1. Sgt. Schultz
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 11 months ago

            plays a major part if Pep has any sense.

        6. Tomcooper9
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          Who's been your personal favourite and least favourite FPL player this year?

          For me, favourite has been Sanchez - pretty much always produced when captained and got some big hauls (closely followed by Lukaku who seemed to be predictable for when he would get points)

          Least favourite has been Hazard - never had him at the right times and never seemed to get big points when expected.

          1. Shifty
            • 10 Years
            6 years, 11 months ago

            Favourite - Sanchez, Lukaku, Mane

            Least favourite - Hazard (owned him 3 times, no returns), Barkley, Aguero (just wasn't worth it this season especially as there's always "pressure" to captain him)

            1. Shifty
              • 10 Years
              6 years, 11 months ago

              i'd add Firmino to the least favourite as well. Just so unpredictable.

          2. Dreams
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 11 months ago

            Favorite has been Lord Heaton. Least favorite has to be Viktor Fischer. I was expecting him to be the next Eriksen.

            1. Tomcooper9
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 9 Years
              6 years, 11 months ago

              Ah yes Heaton has been another great - lots of 'unexpected' point

              1. Dreams
                • 7 Years
                6 years, 11 months ago

                Just loved owning that guy.

          3. Jayv807
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 11 months ago

            Favourite Sanchez and Ibra, had Ibra when he went on his run before my rivals.

            Least are stones, Cedric and Daniels. Owned stones 3 weeks - 2pts total, swapped to Cedric and 3 weeks - 1pt, swapped to Daniels and 4 weeks - 2pts. Worst stretch of my year.

            1. Tomcooper9
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 9 Years
              6 years, 11 months ago

              Had a similar thing early on with Baines, said minor injury and he ended up being out for around 5 GWs

          4. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
            • 10 Years
            6 years, 11 months ago

            Defenders like Alonso McAuley and Walker plus Heaton have kept my season alive long term.

            Special mention Eriksen - my one (C) punt on him yielded 38 points and started the comeback from 400000 odd to 1322 now

        7. Jam0sh
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          Good morning everyone. 10 points behind top 1k and contemplating possible moves for GW38. Naturally two games left of GW37 but if the distance stays the same how would you approach the final gameweek? Here are my transfer ideas:

          Caballero
          Alonso, Vertonghen, Yoshida
          Hazard, Sanchez, Alli, King
          Costa, Kane, Jesus

          subs: Pickford, Stephens, T.Carroll, Maguire --- 2 FT, 0.0 ITB

          A) Hazard & Caballero -> Coutinho & Mignolet
          B) Hazard & Maguire (to fund KDB) -> KDB & Fernandez
          C) Hazard & Costa -> Coutinho/KDB & Sturridge
          D) Something else, what?

          1. Shifty
            • 10 Years
            6 years, 11 months ago

            AOA intact?

            1. Jam0sh
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years
              6 years, 11 months ago

              No chips left

              1. Shifty
                • 10 Years
                6 years, 11 months ago

                Like the sound of C.

                Would focus the transfers on attackers, for starters. And the Home ones.

                1. Jam0sh
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 11 Years
                  6 years, 11 months ago

                  Cheers Shifty. Somehow I'm also tempted to keep Costa as I think he will start. However there could be an upside in Sturridge which I'll most possibly also need to catch top 1k.

                2. Jam0sh
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 11 Years
                  6 years, 11 months ago

                  If I do Costa -> Sturridge would you get Coutinho or KDB in for Hazard? Going GW38 without Chelsea attacker doesn't feel too good though.

                  1. Shifty
                    • 10 Years
                    6 years, 11 months ago

                    Tough one that, I might be more tempted by KDB given form. Coutinho and Liverpool are a bit unpredictable...if you feel comfortable with a Liverpool strong win, a double up is still a good idea.

                    Considering the same re: Chelsea (Hazard out, Fab/Willian in), but I was quite surprised by Sunderland last night. Seems like they took Wenger's comments quite personally.

        8. Dacra

          Complete raffle who plays in 38 then?

        9. _Gunner
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          Pick 2 defenders to play next GW:

          A- Davies
          B- Yoshida
          C- Monreal
          D- Gibbs

          1. Dreams
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 11 months ago

            A C. You were right yesterday. Gibbs started.

            1. _Gunner
              • 9 Years
              6 years, 11 months ago

              Thanks mate

              Was really hoping for some Gibbs points.

              1. Dreams

                  • 9 Years
                  6 years, 11 months ago

                  yes.

                  I meant I was hoping for some points after the 0 he got me in the first match

                  1. Dreams
                    • 7 Years
                    6 years, 11 months ago

                    Oh. That's great for you.

        10. United10
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          Who is more important for next GW?
          a)Jesus
          b)Coutinho

        11. Going Home
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          Surely silly not to keep costa if you already own?

          Also, is Coutinho worth 4 more points than Lallana? Would need to take a hit to do Sterling to Coutinho but can do Sterling to Lallana for free.

          Cheers

          Ddg pickford owners.

          As DDG has played his last game for utd you getting rid in 38 or playing Pickford?

          1. Pep says
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 11 months ago

            Well I'm 12pts up in mini league with my Kane vs his Gabbi and Davies to play.

            If my lead is somewhat intact, I might consider a hit of DeGea to Heaton to cover rival. Worried about a clean sheet and bonus pts on the last day at Turf Moore

            Pickford could be slaughtered against Chelsea, he has 11 saves yesterday but lots of this were straight at him. If Chelsea turn it on, theyll be tucking their efforts way so Pickford's save potential will be limited I feel

            1. @chapellefpl OR 577TH
              • 7 Years
              6 years, 11 months ago

              Not worth a -4 though?

              1. Pep says
                • 8 Years
                6 years, 11 months ago

                Difficult to say. It's so easy to lose the clean sheet at any time and maybe Pickford ends on 3 and your replacement ends on 2,your down 5pts.

                For OR, I don't think the points potential outweighs the points lost, especially for one week

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          121 points with 8 players left. 17 points behind league leader, he has 7 players left, all different. Dramaaaa!

          1. NATSTER
            • 13 Years

              Yeah its mad! Kane is probably the best differential, as all his forwards are done

          Asking again DZers

          Will I get at least 2/3 playing tomo? Stephens JWP Gabbi

            You will get 15 imo.

            Dont think Gabbi will play. They were much improved in attack without him.

            Stephens maybe.

          Would you sell any of these for Coutinho?
          A. Alli
          B. Sane

          Just saw Mark's team and it looks like he'd already be in top 100 if Koscielny didn't screw him over

          That smug moment when you start to think you made the right move with Jesus (c) as he assists KDB just after scoring and you do the permutations....
          The smugness turns to in-trepidation on 72 mins when Alexis names flashes on the screen and you do the maths thinking not so bad Jesus still ahead and Sanchez devoid of bonus anyway....so much time for de Jesus to gain anyway due to the staggered kick offs..... still reasonably smug.....
          Boom your worst fears realised as you cheer on a City team you detest and a familiar name flashes on the screen again..... smug turns to rage..... even owning him doesn't feel enough......alll those TC ....... why did I go Jesus over Alexis....I hate this game.....now I have to face all those 'scorechecks' and smugness on scout....why do I play?....At least Willy has kept his c.s. I needed that just to balance up with Pickford ridiculous save tally.....

            Oh relax, at least you had him. I captained Jesus over Sanchez too. I wasted my TC on Aguero in the first double week!

                hahah yea seemed out of character.

                It was a roller coaster night. Watched the game at 3am where I am, and heart was racing. So much at stake in my MLs. Stand to win up to 700 quid 😯

                    Have to admit I chuckled after Kompany went off for a cs & they conceded.

              Fantasy Football Scout daily hot topic

              Home Comforts in Gameweek 38.

              Gameweek 38 historically has an above average number of goals.

              But as discussed on last night’s Scoutcast this is particularly the case for home sides, who are looking to impress their own fans before the summer break.

              Here’s a look at the last two seasons to show how potent a GWK 38 home clash can be for a side.

              2015/16

              There were no away wins.

              Goals scored by home sides: 26
              Goals scored by away sides: 9
              Notable matches: Arsenal 4-0 Villa, Everton 3-0 Norwich, Newcastle 5-1 Spurs, Southampton 4-1 Palace

              2014/15

              Two away wins – Burnley v Villa, Spurs v Everton both 1-0

              Goals scored by home sides: 23
              Goals scored by away sides: 6
              Notable matches: Arsenal 4-0 West Brom, Chelsea 3-1 Sunderland, Stoke 6-1 Liverpool, Lei 5-1 QPR

              It looks like loading up attackers from home sides looks key.

              With this in mind who will you be captaining and transferring in this week?

              1. Shifty
                • 10 Years
                6 years, 11 months ago

                Currently eyeing Coutinho, Vardy and Sigurddson.

                • 14 Years
                6 years, 11 months ago

                With this in mind I should drop Eriksen over Hazard for Coutinho then!

                  6 years, 11 months ago

                  Newcastle 5-1 Spurs last season. You could be right.

                • 7 Years
                6 years, 11 months ago

                I will be transferring in Sturridge for Costa. Captaining Holgate because of a prior commitment.

                  • 7 Years
                  6 years, 11 months ago

                  Costa could punish you on what could be his last home game for Chelsea...A brace looks to be on the cards here...

                    • 7 Years
                    6 years, 11 months ago

                    He has punished me enough this season by getting 1 or 2 points. I don't want him in my team anymore.

                    • 7 Years
                    6 years, 11 months ago

                    As a non-owner, I fear that too.

                • 7 Years
                6 years, 11 months ago

                Kane (C)

                Thinking Sane >Coutinho

              5. You Must Be Jokin Ere
                • 11 Years
                6 years, 11 months ago

                Chelsea, Leicester, Liverpool, Swansea & South'ton come to mind.
                Man U - the poor lads are "too tired" !!

                Sa Vokes punt??

                • 8 Years
                6 years, 11 months ago

                The obvious one of Hazard to Coutinho for the ft, then for a hit do JWP or Alli for another home playing midfielder who looks up for it.
                The armband to Kane most likely.

              7. A.T
                • 13 Years
                6 years, 11 months ago

                Great bit of research that Jonty. It's certainly made me change my plans this week.

                • 7 Years
                6 years, 11 months ago

                This is bad for me

                I have 5 away players - Kane,Alli,Jesus,sane,king

                Well i guess i am screwed

                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 7 Years
                6 years, 11 months ago

                Well, KDB, Alli, King, Eriksen, Kane, Jesus, Sané all play away - don't think you would advise getting rid would you?

                Vardy, Costa, Sturridge do look tempting though but bringing one of them is only possible with a -8 as far as I'm concerned... (Anichebe to be upgraded)

                So, not worth it I think.

              10. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
                • 10 Years
                6 years, 11 months ago

                Thinking Vardy is the one with that B'mouth game looking ripe for goals.

                Hit to clear out Gabby pending any miracles tonight for Vardy. Will probably generate the cash by selling Sane (is he a rotation risk, looked jaded last night) to the best non-playing mid sub I can get.

                Great article, thx you.

                Please help me with for GW 38.

                A. Hazard -> KDB
                B. Hazard -> Coutinho
                C. Hazard -> Ozil
                C. Alli -> Coutinho

                I likely will play h2h with someone who has KDB, should I buy him for playing safe?

                My other MID are Sanchez, Eriksen & Tom Carroll.

                Cheers, thx you.

                I want to transfer in Coutinho for Hazard but to captain Kane in GW 38. Last night he was great!

              • 11 Years
              6 years, 11 months ago

              Bench Boost -

              Pickford 6
              Vertongen 2 + ?
              Evans 3
              Anichebe 1

              Should Stephens & Tadic both not play, my BB will give me just 7.
              The BB "play early" strategy that I used last season (before wk 10) got me 17/18 from memory - might be worth thinking about again.

                In fairness, 3 of your 4 were budget players with bad matchups though.

            • Robson-Canoe
              • 8 Years
              6 years, 11 months ago

              Would you sell any of these two for free: Hazard (SUN) / Alli (hull) in order to get (C)outinho (MID)

              1. JonGTFC
                • 7 Years
                6 years, 11 months ago

                I'd do Alli -> Coutinho but Hazard seems to be the popular choice. Haz ives you spare cash to make a -4 worth it somewhere else too.

            • JonGTFC
              • 7 Years
              6 years, 11 months ago

              So the consensus is that Costa will start GW38 and Batshuayi not?

              Was planning to do Haz & Gabbi for Cout & Bats but looking like Giroud might be a better option.......

              Will probably change plans completely if Gabbi scores tonight.

                Costa to score a hatty on his last game at Stamford bridge...

              • 6 Years
              6 years, 11 months ago

              Owning Hazard, Sane + Costa and being completely unsure who will play the next round is a tough one, obviously want Coutinho but can't afford to go Sane > Coutinho.

              Who is the biggest doubt for GW 38:

              a) Hazard
              b) Sane
              c) Costa

                • 7 Years
                6 years, 11 months ago

                Got to be Hazard given he was the only one omitted from rotation v Watford, hasn't it?

            • pjanns
              • 7 Years
              6 years, 11 months ago

              De Gea
              Davies - Kompany - Monreal
              Hazard - Sanchez - Eriksen - Zaha
              Kane (C) - Gabb - Jesus

              (Pickford - De Roon - Yoshida - Barragan)

              1 ft. 2,1 ITB.

              Who would you rather have?

              A: Gabb --> Giroud
              B: De Roon --> Coutinho (-4)
              C: De Roon --> Sane
