Dugout Discussion – Saturday

Following on from Southampton’s 1-0 defeat of Palace at Selhurst Park, we focus our attentions on five 3pm kick-offs.

Liverpool and Man City both supply two of the top 10 captains for the Gameweek.

Roberto Firmino and Mo Salah are backed by 4% and 2% respectively as the Reds’ welcome to Anfield.

Both have already bagged two sets of double-digits in the opening four Gameweeks and were in the goals in Wednesday’s Champions League draw against Sevilla.

Meanwhile, Sergio Aguero (4%) and Gabriel Jesus (2%) were also in scoring form in midweek as Pep Guardiola’s side breezed past Feyenoord.

The Etihad outfit have racked up nine goals in their last two matches in all competitions and travel to Watford looking for a repeat of last season’s 5-0 win at Vicarage Road.

Elsewhere, Jamie Vardy heads to Huddersfield on the back of three goals in his first four Gameweeks – all scored against Arsenal and Chelsea.

Newcastle’s Joselu and Stoke’s Eric Choupo-Moting boast some strong underlying numbers as they square up at St James’ Park. Over 235,000 drafted in the Cameroon international after he bagged a brace in last Saturday’s home draw with Man United.

The Magpies’ Rob Elliot is once again the most benched player in the Gameweek – despite serving up back-to-back clean sheets, over 853,000 owners have named him as a sub.

West Brom and West Ham clash at the Hawthorns after contrasting results last week.

Hauled off just after the hour-mark in the 2-0 win over Huddersfield, Javier Hernandez was subject to over 230,00 transfers out – only Sadio Mane and Paul Pogba were jettisoned by more managers over the previous week.

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

        6 years, 7 months ago

        1. FPL Blow-In
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Either is Kun

  2. Monkey Hanger

    Poch, 'So happy with team selection...........'

  3. DA Minnion (Former great)

    Lukaku to aguero . Knee-jerk of the week.

    1. DR0GBA
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Genuinely considering it though....

    2. GoonerByron
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      It's kneejerk but might have to do it.. Palace at home next! 😮

    3. Garlana
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Looks good today...

  4. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Wont own a City attacker next GW, anyone selling a couch?

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

    why didnt I bring in Otamendi. If anyone had noticed he has actually been havin quite a lot of shots recently. Well annoying when you look back and your like why didnt I get him

    1. F4L
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      same. Went for Jones instead lol

    2. Twelve years a slave
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      I have Stones, he scores for fun in other competitions, but gets outscored by otemendi in the league

    3. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Looks a good option actually yes

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

      im just not keen on City defence tbh, but Otamendi now got 3 cs and 1 goal in 5 games. Pretty good for 5.5, think I will be bringing Otamendi in but I have probably missed that boat now

    5. AYEW KI-EDEN MEE
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Statistically the best centre back in the league..

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

      Chose Mendy over walker and otamendi lol

    7. Isco Disco
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Kompany's back very soon though isn't he?

  6. The Royal Robin
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    I know there are games to go, but I'd like your input please. I think I am going to need to take a hit. Chicharito has got to go, fgs. £0.7 itb.

    Lossl
    Jones Alonso Bavies
    Mkhi Brady Chalobah Eriksen
    Lukaku Chich Kane

    Foster Cedric Carroll TFM

    1. beetlejuice
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Who has in ur mind for Chica replacement?

      1. The Royal Robin
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Vardy, or Firmino

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

          Vardy

          1. Winners900
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            Same problem really need Vardy/Firmino too, but tough to find the money unless I'm shipping Lukaku out. Really hate going for Chiicha

        2. beetlejuice
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          If you have funds for them, do not doubt. But who ll u downgrade ?

  7. F4L
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Firmino to Morata locked in now

    1. Banana Shaqiri - HMD, PUP
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      What if morata gets injured?

      1. F4L
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        I'm waiting ofc

        1. Banana Shaqiri - HMD, PUP
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Soooo, not locked in?

  8. Lord Flashheart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Errand to Davies was my transfer this week.

    Arggggggg

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

    Anyone know what the average is?

    1. Lord Flashheart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      24

  10. FantasyNik123
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    It was only a matter of time before my luck turned around. 2 millionth place, but thanks to transferring Vardy and Salah in this week and keeping Ritchie and Berty it's starting to look up.

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

    Is sterling worth bringing in?

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      No

    2. F4L
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      nope

    3. vartshk
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Who do you prefer for 8.1 or less?

      1. Scout Pics
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Carroll

      2. Ryan Naysmith
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Find 0.1 and silva

  12. cynical1
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    A. Chicha to Jesus
    B. Chicha and Morata to Aguero and Vardy for -4

    1. Hulk Smash
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Both decent options.

      Not sure I would sell Morata unless it was to get Kane but Aguero vs Palace looks delicious.

  13. Mark-O
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    So glad that I kept Hegazi this week because of Mounie

  14. AF90
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    I know it's knee jerky but would you do Firmino & Mhki ->> Gross & Aguero/Jesus for free?

    Have Salah & Lukaku for L'pool/Utd & no City... (will wait until after tomorrow's games too)

    1. Twelve years a slave
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      That first one sounds good

  15. TyroneGAA
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Have one mil in the bank should I upgrade Jesus????

    1. The Royal Robin
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Don't waste a transfer. It might be his week next week. I'd just be thankful you've got a City attacker.

      1. TyroneGAA
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        I know but all previous games aguero has been the main man he even gifted a goal to Jesus last week and then gave up a pen today

  16. That Was Easy!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Thanks for tempting me with Coutinho over Salah, Doos

    1. Costa Nostra
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      The advice on here is shocking at times. But ultimately its on you to make the decision..

      1. That Was Easy!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Don't worry I know I was the one who made it, Cout will still come good.

  17. Jolly Good
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Wow trippier to Davies on WC. Not bummed this week if it's a one off but if he's not nailed ....

    1. Ronaldo7
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Did exactly the same. Made sense at the time, aurier will take mins from trippier so he'll never be nailed on.

  18. Twelve years a slave
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Gw 5 everyone is buy Davies and Firmino

    Gw 6 everyone is sell Davies for Kolasniek and Firmino for Vardy

    1. Odikostar
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Vardy's fixtures disagrees

      1. That Was Easy!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        How so lol? Unreal fixtures.

      2. Twelve years a slave
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        He is playing Liverpool, you dont get much better than that

        1. That Was Easy!
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Agreed. Went Vardy over Firmino as well. Bummed about Mendy, Cout.

    2. SUAREZ_MESSI_COUTINHO
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Keep trying.

  19. KneejerkJoe
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Yay or nay?

    Pogba + Chicha + Clark -> Vardy + Mendy + Carroll (-8)

  20. Fuchs Mane Kante
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Kun over Morata now all day.

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

      Nope, Unless Morata blanks against a weak team, he has done nothing wrong

      1. Fuchs Mane Kante
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Good pick but need Kun for days like this.

    2. Odikostar
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Rested next game have fun

      1. Fuchs Mane Kante
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        No doubt.

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

    How do I fit Kun/Jesus in if I have Kane-Morata-Lukaku? No need to get Kun in?

    Mid: Atsu-Salah-Eriksen-Caroll-Chalobah

    1. Fuchs Mane Kante
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Keep Kane and Latroll.

  22. GoonerByron
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Bought Shaqiri into my draft league team but forgot about the early deadline.. 3rd sub behind Monreal and Giroud! 🙁

  23. The Cherry Picker

    Stayed Strong, didn't cash out and it paid off as Barca took the lead late on.
    All I need now is Spurs to beat Swansea and I'll win

    3. Scout Pics
      • 6 Years

      How much have you lost over the past year?

    4. The Cherry Picker

      6 years, 7 months ago

      If you're new to these posts have a look back through my history started with £10 at the start of the season

  24. Foozeball
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Son at LWB again? Well I guess Swansea will be likely parking the bus, so it might actually come good for Spurs compared to how it worked out against Chelsea

    1. AYEW KI-EDEN MEE
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      It's a flat back 4. Vertonghen left back .

  25. Garlana
    • 9 Years

    1. Ronaldo7
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Should have had a hat-trick, couldnt finish but kept getting in the right positions.

  26. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    You just know that when you eventually get that city cover it will be rotation and the other one scoring etc!

  27. divineFC
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    guys very important question!!
    what you guys think of using the free hit chip for next week..since city plays palace at home and load up 3 city attackers??
    any sugestion is welcome..

    1. MTPockets
        6 years, 7 months ago

        I'd save it for a random double/blank game week.

    2. Eton Rifles
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      will Aguero get 3 baps?

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

        not a chance..he only scored 3 goals and an assist..kiko firminho might get since they got thrashed 6-0 and he didnt play

      2. panda07
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        No I don't think so, was watching the game and Silva had no less than 24 key passes! Oh my gosh!

      3. MrZ
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        I guess so.
        It's in the web right? His points is way ahead any of his teammates

    3. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Quick summary of Pool game

      - Salah was really good. As always, should have had more. 10 points I'll take that

      - Firmino a non factor out wide, hardly in the game. Coutinho was wasteful, rusty and off the pace

      - Sturridge was decent first half, non existent in the second. Think Firmino goes central next PL game

      - TAA could have been in the points FPL wise but you can never expect a clean sheet

      - Pope made a load of saves. Mee was really good, had 2 goal scoring opportunities. Brady was awesome

      So does Pep still hate strikers? Or what
