Dugout Discussion – Stoke vs Arsenal

The day’s events draw to a close at the bet365 stadium as Stoke City host Arsenal and, from a Fantasy perspective, the interest rests almost entirely with the Gunners.

Alexandre Lacazette will bid to follow up his debut strike to reward his 18.5% ownership, while the 372,000+ who have moved for Granit Xhaka this week will be hoping for instant dividends. The Swiss midfielder has been the most popular signing following his brace of assists in Gameweek 1, with 71,000+ arriving at him as a replacement for the injured Wilfried Zaha of Crystal Palace.

Aaron Ramsey has proved another popular solution for that particular problem, with 34,000+ making the direct swap to the Welshman from the Eagles winger. Like Lacazette, he will look to add to his Gameweek 1 goal as he returns to the scene of his horrific double leg break back in February 2010.

Interest in Mark Hughes’ men is largely limited to Joe Allen in midfield. A key budget target for a spell last season, he is owned by 4.1% heading into this encounter, as the Potters look to kick-start their campaign following last weekend’s tepid 1-0 defeat at Everton.

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

    Who do you guys reckon needs to be shipped first?
    A) Dummett
    B) Daniels
    C) JWP
    D) JRod

    Got all of these unfortunately

    1. nkhoughton
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      JWP or Dummet

      1. Sunden
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        I guess the other two are at least playing

    2. NestorC
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      JWP

    3. JustPark
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Not JRod.

  2. Lord of Ings
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    49 with KDB, Willian,Alonso and Mounie to play.

    1. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Very good

    2. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      48 with KDB, Eriksen, Willian and B.Davies to play.

  3. nkhoughton
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Would you do salah to mane or mhiki

    Got 2FTs I think KDB and Salah are the 1st to go

    1. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      I personally would as from what I've seen of Salah he looks a bit of a dud

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
          6 years, 8 months ago

          You must have seen very little of Salah then

          1. nkhoughton
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 8 months ago

            It's not his ability for me, I'm worried about game time, I think mane is just as good and more guaranteed to start

      2. arndff_
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Why are you planning to get rid off KDB that soon? I think he can explode soon. City has nice fixtures.

        1. nkhoughton
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Already have Jesus I'm not sure if both are needed

      3. Teror
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        I think it's a waste of a FT tbf. But I'd probably do Mane out of those two to hold onto Liverpool cover

    2. PvA
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      You boys are crazy thinking about transfers now. The top players like VR and TM probably haven't even thought of their transfers.

      You need to wait before all games are finished before thinking. Then use patience and complete transfers as late as possible.

      The 1st bit is easy - the 2nd is hard.

      1. ♤TeddyBear♤
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Some times we dont have a choice.... if I wait till tomorrow then im and cant afford

        1. PvA
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          This is why the top players don't think about it early on. You think you have the perfect answer and price rises will force your hand

          TV isn't everything and there are other options

      2. PvA
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Sorry forgot to include Delufail in the top player list

      3. Atimis
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        I just dunno if I want to play WC this wekk or next...

      4. Sims
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Didn't TM pull the wildcard trigger?

        1. PvA
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Did he?

          I don't think he did

      5. Sims
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Either way doing Zaha to mkhi early on last week served me well

      6. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Triggerlips is the manager I am interested in

        The best manager in fpl hands down, always makes the best moves and has an amazing history

    3. Teror
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Daniels >

      A. Naughton

      B. Löwe

      Frees up funds for me to do Zaha > Pogba

      1. Skorr
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        I am in a very similar position and would choose A due to fixtures (even though Swansea have taken a beating so far)

    4. PvA
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Scenes tomorrow if Kane bags a brace only to be cancelled out by Chelsea's 2 goals via Will.I.An

      1. Sims
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        And then somebody wakes u uo

    5. NestorC
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Would you do?

      Kola, Fraser and Firmino
      to
      Jones, Pogba and Chicha

      Cheers

      Puncheon letting the side down here:

    7. FPL ZB
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Bottomed:

      De Gea
      Kola Bertrand Dawson (Suttner Long)
      KDB Salah Tadic Atsu (Carroll)
      Kane Kaku Mounie

      0.5 ITB worth going Salah to Pogba, or a hit involving Kola?

      1. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Looks decent to me as it is. Utd won't score 4 goals every week.

      2. Karan14
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Keep Salah for now.
        You might Alli or Eriksen tom.

    8. FPL Touches
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Which two are first out the door here?

      Foster - Elliott
      Danilo - Yoshi - Stephens - Sutt - Hune
      Salah - KDB - Willian - Ramsey - Carroll
      Lukaku - Kane - JRod

      1. F4L
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        KDB WIllian imo

    9. We Will Klopp you
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Any reason I may be missing to bring forward my planned Kolasinac to Trippier and Gross to Richarlison moves from tomorrow evening to today?

      1. MTPockets
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Gross' fixtures? But I'm also trying to fit in Richarlison.

      2. pundit of punts
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Bottomed a few pages ago.

        Foster - Elliot
        Stephens - Yoshida - Hegazi - Long - Rosenior
        Mane - Mkhitaryan - Phillips - Fraser - Carroll
        Aguero - Kane - Lukaku

        Don't like fraser. got 2 plans.

        A. Save FT and play Carroll
        B. Lukaku + Fraser ➡ Chicha + Alli for -4

        Really tempted by B. i like risks.

        What say?

        1. F4L
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          I see why one would want to drop Kaku, but don't. A

        2. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Getting rid of Lukaku after GW3, Uniteds Fixtures aren't the easiest from GW4 onwards

      3. PvA
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        I wish Klopp would do the ultimate madness and bench Mane vs Arsenal after seeing many do Salah ➡ Mane

        1. Gudjohnsen
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Never. He will play his best team against Arsenal.

          1. We Will Klopp you
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 8 months ago

            He wouldn't dare do that, fans would start calling for his head

      4. Gudjohnsen
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        People getting rid of KDB after one game. Impatient much?

        1. Begbie.
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          He didn't score and Capoue did. Capoue is the better FPL option. Facts. You can't deny them.

      5. Red20
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        KdB and Kane v Courtois, Stones, Zanka and Aguero.

        I'm nervous.

      6. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Dawson and Yoshida with a couple of bonus points. That's a bonus.

        1. Dokdok666
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Literally a bonus

      7. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Gonna have to wildcard after my nightmare today:

        Thoughts? Total of 9 changes made, not pressed confirmed or anything just tinkering

        De Gea (Elliott)
        Trippier Dawson Yoshida (Mee, Mbemba)
        KDB Mane Tadic Richarlison (RLC)
        Kane Lukaku Mounie

      8. jam sandwich
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        why would one go for Davies over Trippier, when the latter is completely nailed whereas Davies will be out when Rose comes back?

        (feel free to challenge my logic)

        1. Teror
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Because he scored a goal last week, which means he will probably score a goal every week.

          (feel free to challenge my logic)

        2. FPL ZB
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Don't know when Trip is fit. Walker Peters was mom in first game too

        3. JustPark
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Shhh!

        4. Freddo
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Go and compare Davies to Trippier using the comparison tool for last season, tick the average box for a proper reflection.

          Rose is a long way from returning if he's not even training yet.

      9. Lord of Ings
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        DDG Elliot
        Bailly Rangel Bertrand Dawson Alonso
        Zaha salah KDB willian Carroll
        Gabbiadini lukaku Mounie
        1 FT,1M itb.see most likely zaha has to go out (and will).what are the transfers you would do here?(P.s a bit salty already as I did a chicha to Mounie this week so bringing back chicha isn't an option).

      10. GinjaWhinja
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Keep an eye on Richarlison next week.

        Home to Brighton - who absolutely suck balls away from home. Returns in last 2 weeks too and at 4.5m. BARGAIN.

        1. GinjaWhinja
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Oops at 6.0m.

        2. Atimis
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          He ain't 6.0?

        3. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          He's 6 mil isn't he...

        4. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          6m?

        5. Fred54
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          I might be wrong, but I believe and again not sure, but he could possibility and again, not 100% sure, but I think he might be 6.0m.

          1. thepeen555
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 8 months ago

            He is 6m 🙂

        6. JustPark

          Keep an eye indeed.

        Jesus brace on monday night kdb and aguero the 2 assists

      12. ♤TeddyBear♤
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        I see people going for Trippier just now.... have we even have confirmation he is back?

        1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          He is in contention for tommmorow apparently, so probably nailed by next week.

          1. ♤TeddyBear♤
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 8 months ago

            Roger that

      13. Dannyb
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        I'm in a pickle, my intention was to take KDB out for Silva and do Jesus to Kane for free. Now I want Pogba in the mix as well but already have De Gea, Bailly and Lukaku. Any suggestions folks?
        De Gea
        Ale, Bailly, Yoshida, Lowe
        Alli, KDB, Mane
        Lukaku, Jesus, Mounie
        Elliot, Mbemba, RLC, Carroll

        Cheers

        1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          KDB > Pogba, Jesus > Kane.
          Silva will never be effective cover for Man C. Akin to getting Walcott instead of Sanchez.

        2. Begbie.
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          KDB to Pogba and Lukaku to Kane.

          I wouldn't though.

        3. GreennRed
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Don't get Pogba, you can't get every player after two good games.

        4. Dannyb
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Witty pun I can't do that as I would have 4 United, hence the pickle I'm in lol.

        I ask as thinking
        Kola and Ramsey to

        Away at the moment and not seen a kick this season....

        What is the view on salah?

        Presumably just rotated today but still a good option as an attacking asset?

        Seen some disparaging comments about him On here......

        No need to remove him from my team or anything drastic??...thanks

        1. Dannyb
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          It's the exact reason I went for Mane. Yes a little more expensive but he's Liverpool's best player imo.

        2. Gudjohnsen
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          He's promising. Can see him doing well this season. 13-14 goals and 11-12 assists.

        3. GreennRed
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          He's finding his feet in PL. Needed for Hoffenheim 2nd leg.

      16. F4L

        Kane Eriksen Alli all in the points tomorrow. What do you do?

          • 7 Years

          Smile and hope Alli is the one with the least

        2. Ramboros
          • 12 Years

          Go back in time and transfer in Eriksen for Salah.

          • 9 Years

          I've already mentally pencilled in KdB > Alli.

        3. bojack
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Not stupid, but at least allow KDB his time on Monday. Remember as well, City have Bournemouth next week - would you have no City attack for that?
