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.

    Really considering WCing now Kola didn't play long enuff. Would you do it?

    Thinking of Dawson, Kola, Tadic, Willian, Firmino, Chalobah >>> Hegazi, Bavies, Mane, Ramsey, Chicharito, Jese

    1. HNI
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Left one looks better than right

    2. kennethrhcp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Would Wc before an international break! Maybe a hit but not wc

    3. Joey Barton and Friends
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      terrible transfers, genuinely terrible

    4. Ted Bovis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Mane is great but would you risk the rotation?

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

      No. Be patient.

  2. HNI
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Which looks strongest of these?

    1) Bertie + Stephens+Dawson+Pogba+Ramsey
    2) Kompany + STephens+ Mee +Pogba + Ramsey
    3) Kompany + Bertie + Stephens + Pogba + Ritchie/Atsu

  3. lordkippe

    6 years, 8 months ago

    What to do with this team ? 1FT. Should my main target be Eriksen or a united mid ?

    Foster ( Elliot )

    PVA - Stephens - Daniels ( Dummett, Long )

    KDB - Mane - Willian - Atsu ( Carroll )

    Kane - Lukaku - Gabbiadini

    1. HNI
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Willian to Pogba

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

    Used WC. Comments pls!

    DDG (Elliott)
    Trippier/Stones/Yoshida/Dawson/(Yedlin)
    Ali/Salah/Miki/(Atsu/Carroll)
    Lukaku/Jesus/Chicarito

    1. Chenku╰☆╮

      Really poor imo.

      1. Chenku╰☆╮

        Tosh, stones, chica, no kane

    2. FPL Pillars
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Now rename them Kneejerk Utd.

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

    Would you WC to this:

    Foster/Elliot
    Trippier/Jones/Yoshi/Lowe/Mbemba
    Eriksen/Mane/Miki/Ramsey/TC
    Kaku/Jesus/Chica

    Thoughts? Eriksen could be Dele and Miki could be Pogba, just not sure about not having Kane...

    1. kennethrhcp

      What's current team?

      1. Atimis
        • 7 Years

        Foster/Elliot
        Kola/Stephens/Lowe/Suttner/Long
        KDB/Miki/Willian/JWP/TC
        Kaku/Kane/Firmino

          • 13 Years

          Don't wc imo. Your team is grand

    2. Joey Barton and Friends
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      why would you switch those players? they will end up scoring very similar points at end of season. Going without Kane is a very bad idea (esp before Burnley next week)

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

        So maybe I will hold after all with current team 😉

  6. Nicks93

    Salah+Mane+Lacazette to Pogba+Mkhi+Kane

    Yay or nay??

      How about just 1 of salah or mane to 1 of the utd lads?

      Honestly, it seems very sideways to me. I can see both getting equal points.

    really difficult situation with risers tonight, it's too risky to make transfers?

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

      Risky?

    2. HNI
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Got priced out of Hegazi. Pogba seems really needed with him passing eye test plus good 4 fixtures in 5

    3. kennethrhcp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      I wouldn't in case of injury over next 2 days.

    -24 point hit or WC?

    1. Business Cat

      WC...that's insane hits

      1. Optimus.
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        yeah but taking a -24 hit this gw would mean I still have my WC intact to get in next gameweeks scoreers for free?

        1. Business Cat
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years

          ...and what's the GW4 plan? Another 24pt hit?

    Swapping Dawson for Daniels before the season started seems to be a poor decision. Might just use a transfer this week to revert it.

    1. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Captain hindsight, but 5.0 seemed too pricey for Bournemouth defenders.

      Pulis & megson dream team seems to be getting back to basics on the clean sheet front. Sticking Barry in front of back 4 can only help.

  10. Rhodes your boat
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Upgrading Willian but finding it impossible to choose between pogba and mkhi, someone convince me either way(leaning to mkhi atm as he's higher upfield but pogba is more nailed...)

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

      Wait till the CHS game is over first so you can see how Willian does.

      Keepers are nice and cheap.
      Davis - is his place nailed on though with Rose in the wings?
      Swap Dawson for Jones to give yourself Utd defensive cover for the same price.
      Milfs - I would want Mane in there for LIV coverage. Who for out of that lot I'm not sure. More time needed.
      I would want Kane in that front 3.
      A little too early to be playing the WC I feel.

      I like it. I prefer Eriksen though. Still keeping up his play from last season but he's getting in a lot more shots.

    2. The Royal Robin

    A. Firmino to Hernandez only thinking Firmino because of his next 2 gw man city+arseanl Hernandez Newcastle+ Huddersfield think Hernandez may get more

    B. Ramsey to Mikki think Mikki will get more points

    thanks in advance

    1. Je suis le chat
      • 10 Years

      I would...Doing it for hit most probably

    3. StalkingDwarf

      People loving Atsu. I'm probably going to upgrade rather than downgrade him since I'm not keep on any options except 4.5 cheapies

      1. Lecky Legs FC
        • 8 Years

        I need to upgrade Gini Winjnaldum and Iwobi to Mkhitaryan and a cheap £4.0 mid

    B) Firmino --> Chicharito

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

      I'm thinking along the same line ; Firmino to Chicharito to free up the cash for Willian to Pogba...

    2. StalkingDwarf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
