Dugout Discussion – Sunday – Part One

Sunday’s four matches get underway with a lunchtime double-header as champions Chelsea host Everton, while West Brom take on Stoke City at The Hawthorns.

Some Fantasy managers will be torn by the Stamford Bridge meeting. The Blues defence are well backed via Fantasy Premier League investment in David Luiz (25.9% ownership) and, of course, Marcos Alonso (18.2% ownership). T

he Spaniard heads into today’s contest off the back of his devastating two goals at Wembley against Spurs, having picked up over 245,000 new owners ahead of Gameweek 3.

However, Everton’s Wayne Rooney has also soared in popularity following back-to-back goals. He claims a 20.4% ownership ahead of the Chelsea clash and is the most popular captain pick on show in the early kick-offs: 93,000 have trusted him with the armband.

Meanwhile, at The Hawthorns, there is no question of the preferred outcome from a Fantasy perspective.

West Bromwich Albion will be seeking a third successive clean sheet against Stoke and boast the Gameweek’s second most popular transfer target in their line-up.

The towering Ahmed Hegazi has picked up over 504,000 new owners ahead of today’s clash and already ranks fourth for transfers in ahead of Gameweek 4 before taking to the pitch.

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

    Loving my Kola>Kane(c) for -4

    1. ★Kuntheman★
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      I'd captain Kane if he was classified as a defender too

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

        So would I! But I meant laca

    2. LoneWolfFPL

      Kola, KDB > Trippier, Eriksen for -8 here

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

        Oh you're going to be quite happy I think

    3. MrZ

      No way you can do that

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

        Should've been laca

    Welbeck ffs haha

      Can't finish, but brings energy to the team.

    Arsenal bib theory from yesterday was correct then. Stoke game subs also pointed this way. Appalling.

    1. LosBlancos
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      bib theory?

      1. VS10_
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        It's in my posting history.

  6. ★Kuntheman★
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Son is coming straight into my team

  7. FDMS All Starz
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Wow so no kolasinac or Lacazette today? Why sign them them

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

      Lindelof hasn't played yet!

      1. Siggy in the Middle
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Difference is, Lindelof has been poor in preseason and wasn't a club record signing.

    2. G-Whizz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Maybe still just easing them in? I've always respected Wenger as a manager and admittedly this decision has me a bit perplexed but I'll hold fire for now and wait until GW5 (CHE away) before pulling the trigger...

  8. Bubz

    Kola to Jones and Aguero to Kane -4 this week methinks

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

      Seems like a plan. I'm doing similar except Kompany out.

  9. ILOVEBAPS
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Ah my pet hate of this game remains another season.

    A sub comes on, scores a goal and somehow gets max bonus.

  10. potatoace
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    I just knew as soon as crouch came on he would score. He does this time and time again.

  11. Wilshere Knowledge
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Start the season needing CB's, sell Gabriel, Mustafi on his way, no CB signed.

    Sign a good striker after half a decade, bench him for Welbeck.

    Bench the best LWB for right back with no left foot.

    Sell Szczesny for pittence to start a GK who was over the hill 4 years ago.

    Fail to sign Ox, Wilshere, Ozil and Sanchez to contracts. Lose Willock on a free, the same to happen with Zelalem, to follow Gnarby.

    Still no CM signed, Elneny not in squad.

    Finish miles off the top, £0 net spend.

    F this.

      as a Gunner fan I read this and just can't believe it

      Lol

  12. HVT

    Those Elliott cs points...

      Yeh

    3. Fred54

      Oh baby.

    4. shearer9
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      I got them, but then again I played Begovic for the two weeks prior.

  13. Unsuccessful
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Kolasinac out then....(?)

    Any chance Foster was subbed off to give Myhill the last 15 mins?

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Kind of glad in a way as I'd have been tempted to have kept him if he started today.

      No point having a £6m defender who doesn't start.

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

        Nope. There were rumours of this before GW1.

        I guess Alexis or Laca are my route to cash in on their fixtures

  14. Boomerang V
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Man I have Foster and Hegazi, double CS gone, and I have Elliot and Stephens benched 🙁

    1. Jonny Sutt
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Never double up on a defence. Unless it's saints 2014/15

      1. Sterling is £11Mill..…
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        double up, even a triple up on defence can work. If you pick the right team... Huddersfield triple up has worked out pretty well..

        1. Jonny Sutt
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          It's daft, you won't keep clean sheets every single week. Then you have a transfer situation. Focus on attacking potential.

  15. evilfish
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Please stay on the bench Kola so I can get Daniels' 7.

    1. Jonny Sutt
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      This

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

      Unfortunately he'll be brought on for a 1pt cameo

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

        Of course he will, the way this GW has gone.

  16. Jonny Sutt
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Only yesterday did I say Hegazi will be out of the team come September. Everyone gave me stick.

  17. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Need Kane (C) and Firmino to save my gameweek now

  18. ★Kuntheman★
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    "ArsenalFanTV, Troopz...what went wrong for us today"

    *cue furious bluds and fams*

  19. FirminoIsBetterThanYou
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Is the natural Aguero replacement Morata at the moment?

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

      Not sure about that.

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

      Kane

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

        I own Kane already

  20. CFC96
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    ffs wenger, kolasinac out next game week

    1. CFC96
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      What a hamroll

  21. drughi
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    crouch 20 minutes played and on 3 bonus Points lol

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

      He's certainly head and shoulders above everyone.

  22. Sz21
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Feck sake- Kolasinac was supposed to be my trump card and I was delighted with the rumour that Ox was not involved today.

    I just hope this isnt another one of my team facing a price drop!!

  23. laplana

    25 points on the bench 3 gameweeks in 😆 Love it

    1. Old Schoolᴼˢ “disa…
      • 12 Years

      26 here including RLC no show...

      That's the way the cookie crumbles

  24. Lizardprime

    6 years, 8 months ago

    I know I'm a bit late but Jay Rodriguez!!! Love that guy. My FPL kind of talisman. Good luck charm. This isn't really an informative post but I'm excited

  25. Granville

    • Has Moderation Rights

    Surprised Giroud isn't starting. Liverpool cannot defend set pieces.

    1. Drip Doctor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Often scores vs Liverpool too.

    2. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      We can't take set pieces though.

      Better to go for the counter.

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

      A super sub!
      He will score a late goal after only playing for 5 mins and get max bonus.

    4. Pierce34
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Wouldn't bet against him scoring after 80 minutes.

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

      Comes on when 3-1 down, scores a brace, rescues Arsenal. Arsenal have shown character yadda yadda...paper over cracks as a certain fan would say.

  26. Recoba
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Stay on the bench kola

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

      7 Suttner points incoming....

  27. Bucket_
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Just realised I have Suttner's 7 sitting on my bench. So, naturally, Kola is gonna come on in the second half for a 1 pointer.

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

    Alonso never got any decent BAPS when I owned him last season 😐

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

      Don't buy him, give the rest of us a chance

  29. Oliver Tockman
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Is Ben Davies locked in for Spurs or is he a rotation risk? Cheers!

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

      Locked in till Rose returns. He's not even back in training yet - so a great pick for the time being.

      Even more so with the Aurier rumours whirling around.

  30. shearer9
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Morata and Ramsey or Eriksen and Mounie/Hernandez/another cheap striker?
