Dugout Discussion – Sunday – Part Two

The second instalment to Sunday’s slice of Premier League action brings Gameweek 3 to a close with matches at Anfield and Wembley Stadium.

The attention of Fantasy managers will be pulled in different directions, with key assets on show in both contests.

After the “failings” of Romelu Lukaku, Paul Pogba and Sergio Aguero on Saturday, we now look to see if Harry Kane can step up.

Kane is backed 741,000+ (16.1%) ahead of the “home” encounter with Burnley as he bids to end a run of two single point returns and score his first competitive career goal in August.

Should he succeed, it would doubtless have a major impact on rankings and transfer activity over the international break.

Equally, events at Anfield could have a major effect on our thinking leading up to Gameweek 4.

Liverpool boast an array of attacking talent, including the electric Sadio Mane, who lines up in tandem with the in-form Roberto Firmino and Mo Salah.

But Arsenal have their own riches on show, with all eyes on the performance of Alexis Sanchez.

He returns to the Gunners’ line-up as Alexandre Lacazette suprisingly drops to the bench as Danny Welbeck leads the attack in a Arsenal’s 3-4-2-1.

Like Kane, should Sanchez convince and return points this afternoon, the impact on the FPL market would be substantial.

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

    Would you expect utd or Chelsea to keep more clean sheets?

      yes, can't see united conceding in the near future.

    Would doing Jesus to Firmino and then Willian to Silva be better than Jesus to Morata and then Willian to a £7.5?

      I would keep Jesus and just replace willian

      why not, could work out and you are basically exchanging a price fall for a price rise. go for it, I hope you still have your WC intact.

      Ha ha! Superb 🙂

    Eriksen not so influential today, I think the introduction of Son was the reason for this. Always thought last season at times Son coming into the team destroye the balance of the team especially with kane in the side

    1. JAC THE CAT
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Have you sold Kane yet?

      I'm tempted to shift him and bring in Alli or Eriksen.

      1. LǝgleSs e|even
        • 8 Years

        Why the rush? Looks like his price is not falling tonight? Am I missing something

    2. Syd.

      Spurs are kack this season....... Think they have peaked as a team

      1. JAC THE CAT
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        A lack of investment and new ground looks to have them on the ropes.

        1. Syd.
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          Certainly does........ I think they will struggle against all over Top 6 sides this season, Chelsea have already proved this

      Didn't watch the game, but the fact that Eriksen almost got in the baps suggests he did create?

      ye but when son went off eriksen looked deadly

    5. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      He's going to play more often now.
      Son really does interrupt the goals and assists of the other 3.
      There was a HT on this with the stats which proved
      Alli, Eriksen & Kane all perform better without Son on the pitch.

      1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Didn't Alli do as well? Or am I just recalling incorrectly

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

      Not convinced by Son's decision making. Too often seems to play for himself. does upset balance of side.

    7. Hurrikane
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      The whole side perform better with Son off the pitch, he's a greedy player who has such a different style compared to alli/eriksen/kane and it sometimes results in the spectacular, but most of the time us being dispossessed or the flow of build up being disturbed.

      The formation change required to play him is a big part of this, in order to accommodate playing Son, a wide player, we divert from our usual 3-4-2-1 with wingbacks and alli and eriksen behind kane, to 4-2-3-1, a formation we continually create less quality and quantity of chances with, mainly due to eriksen and alli being confined to smaller spaces and forcing most of our build up through the side opposite son, more easily defended.

  9. Rex Lapis
    • 9 Years

    JWP to Brady worth a hit?
    or play Carroll/Mee?

    According to L'Équipe, Monaco has agreed to LOAN Mbappé to PSG, with option to buy him for €180M.

    Option is a real option, not obligatory. 😯

    I understand why this makes sense to PSG. To Monaco, not so much.

    1. Hurrikane
      • 7 Years

      Probably related to financial fair play, or draxler may go other way?

        This, I know. But his pass completion rate is 65%. That is crap.

        1. Syd.
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          He does play for Burnley so he might not have a lot of options that he would like to pass the ball to in his team

    time to wildcard or am I ok?

    main problem areas are Kola, Willian and Stephens potentially losing their places and Kane of course!

    Or should i just use ny FT on Kola to Bavies? Thanks for any replies

    Foster - (Elliot)
    Bertrand - Stephens - Suttner - (Ake) - (Long)
    Eriksen - Mkhitaryan - Willian - Carroll - (Ward Prowse)
    Kane - Lukaku - Firmino

    Considering Kane to Lacazette(C) and getting back in Gw5
    Then I'll have 2.5ITB. Any ideas?Maybe Willian to Mane?

    1. matthew_1991
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Will Lacazette definitely start GW4 with him being on the bench today? Would consider Morata as well in place of Kane...

  24. Oven Glover
    • 8 Years

    I'm thinking of playing my free hit chip to get some good gw4 players. Have no stand out captain options and it could be a good way of staying clear of everything that might happen over the international break and the end of the transfer window. Chica, Antonio, Sanchez, Tammy and some other punts with good fixtures. Thoughts on best use of the chip? Silly move?

    1. Eton Rifles
      • 8 Years

      keep for fa cup time

    2. Dynamo Chicken
      • 13 Years

      Keep it for the double game weeks. You will regret spunking it early.

    3. banskt

      keep for the blank game weeks.

    Repost
    Hart
    Stephens/Ake/Davies/Lowe
    Willian/Mkhi/Salah
    Kane/Jesus/Lukaku

    Im really thinking i should wildcard this. Jesus Willian Stephens Ake and Hart are the main reasons. Should i do it?

    1. tisza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      if you're going to keep asking this question then post the bench as well. People can't help if you don't give them all the info.

  26. Dynamo Chicken
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Oort, If Kane drops by £0.3m I'm def getting him in. He has always scored in streaks as soon as one goes in he will be scoring from all angles.

  27. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Have no Liverpool player but ManCity next so hardly any rush get them?
    Also just have Eriksen from Spurs.
    Good fixtures for Liverpool and Spurs from GW5 so maybe then best time for WC?

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Bigger teams = Liverpool more likely to score

      • banskt
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Yes, and also Everton fixtures changing.

    2. banskt
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Whom shall I replace Dummett with? 1 FT, 1.0m itb

      1) Potentially, I would like to get back the money I lost on him.
      2) Rest of defense is -- Hennessey / Elliott / Valencia / Cedric / Suttner / Naughton

      Also contemplating Hennessey to Foster for a -4 point.

    3. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Give me your best one week punt to replace Kane. He will be back in for GW5. The other 2 upfront are Jesus and Chicharito

      1. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Yes using 2FT over 2 weeks to temporarily lose Kane and avoid the price drops.

      2. LǝgleSs e|even
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Why the rush? He's not dropping in price tonight. Wait and monitor price changes daily and transfer after the internationals if wanted.

        1. Albrightondknight
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

            What makes you think he will start and not be benched again.

            And don't reply with logic - it's Wenger we are talking about. Then again with Sanchez gone he should start 🙂

              • 7 Years

              Unless he plays Kolasinac centre forward. The old bat should have got the boot last year

        2. Albrightondknight
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          Yes of course it does.
          Over 3 weeks Kane or Jesus on captain have totalled 4*2 for 8

          Another season will be destroyed by my rotten C choices.

    4. @FPL_Chess
        6 years, 9 months ago

        I'm thinking that Klopp put a weak goalkeeper on the pitch so that Arsenal players would try and exploit that, thus leaving them weaker at the back. As a long-suffering Arsenal fan, I do not struggle with the concept that Klopp simply out-thought the ever-inflexible Wenger.
