Dugout Discussion – Saturday

Gameweek 21 is upon us with six afternoon kick-offs getting things underway.

Fantasy managers will be fixated on Stamford Bridge and Anfield in particular, with Liverpool and Chelsea backed for big victories and points aplenty.

Mohamed Salah is the most-captained player for the Gameweek and starts against Leicester City having produced a goal or an assist in 11 of his previous 12 Gameweeks.

He sits alongside Roberto Firmino in a Liverpool front three, with the Brazilian having produced three successive double-figure returns. Meanwhile, Philippe Coutinho also starts in a powerful Liverpool line-up. He’s supplied four goals and five assists from his last five Gameweek starts.

But Leicester could provide a stubborn barrier at Anfield, which is perhaps not the case at Stamford Bridge with Chelsea’s opponents Stoke apparently conceding the match from kick-off.

Cursed by injuries at the back and with Kurt Zouma ineligible to face his parent club, Mark Hughes makes the decision to keep key players in reserve.

Antonio Conte has also made changes, resting his own star man – Eden Hazard. The Blues boss brings in Pedro and Willian to flank Alvaro Morata, while Andreas Christensen returns from illness but only makes the bench.

Elsewhere, Richarlison will bid to revive his Fantasy stock after failing to find the net in eight Gameweeks. He faces bottom club Swansea City at Vicarage Road with just three assists to his name over that dry spell.

Clean sheets will be the order of the day across the remaining matches, with Everton, Burnley and Brighton all popular sources of budget defensive signings.

However, with squads stretched, there will doubtless some managers relying on points from Huddersfield strikers Laurent Depoitre and Colin Quaner when they take on the Clarets.

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

    Dont know what do people expect from Richa
    He is dangerous,getting assists almost regulary now
    You wanted Lukaku for his 6pointers and he is 5mil more

      This. Wouldnt get rid off player for this kind of quality

      He looks a perfect 7th attacker, I don't think you can have 7 big hitters, better to have 6 + Richarlison & a good defence

    Is taking an 8 point hit and going 6dgw players madness?

    Hey guys, since Daniels was on the bench today, his yellow flag will be removed and he will return to 0% right?

    Is there any way to find out how many Hazard C have salah as their VC ? Ans specially in the top 10K ?

    1. TorresMagic™

  6. sunzip14

    Dodged a bullet. Captained Hazard, VC Salah and first sub Long from Burnley 😀

  7. Team Cruel

    Salah > who for a hit?

    Limping isn't good as Haz proved today.

    1. Red Dagger ✪

      Come on now.....

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus

      Haz

  8. Sterling is £11Mill..…

    Phil jones is so due a goal, today’s the day

  9. camarozz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Why is Salah losing baps after scoring twice including the match winning goal. I don't get it?

    1. 824545201
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Big chances missed.

      1. acidicleo
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        but still its 2 goals scored!!!

    2. Guru Mediation
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Winning goal baps do not exist. Can this be the end of it now please

      1. Aston-villain
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Since when?

      2. TwiggsJameson
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Yes they do. 3 points. Read the rules.

      3. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Read the rules. It's all there.

      4. Guru Mediation
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Hmm, my mistake. I thought it was an urban myth

    3. boc610
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Because of his misses and unsuccessful dribbles.

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

      best is to own people like kaku for bonus... 1 goal scored is 3 bps..as he wont try many shotes!!

  10. LIARS POKER
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Who would you rather have for the dgw out of Alli and Eriksen?

    Leaning towards Alli due to higher goal threat but Eriksen may be the safer choice, tough one

    1. Fudge
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      very tough one

  11. HD7
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    De Gea
    Ota Christensen* Ogbona
    Coutinho Sterling Richarlison Salah Hazard
    Kane DCL

    Subs: Elliot, Robertson, Crouch, Mbemba

    Haz Richa to (-4):
    A) Alli Arnie
    B) Eriksen Arnie
    C) Alli Son
    D) Eriksen Son

    1. KUNingas
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Richa is good value

    2. Coaly
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      E Son Arnie

      1. HD7
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Prefer Alli or Eriksen for long term

  12. KUNingas
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Hazard out for Sterling as I dont own any City? Sterling might rise tonight.

    1. Qaiss
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah thinking the same, although might wait until tomorrow

    2. AYEW KI-EDEN MEE
      • 7 Years

      Sterling season keeper.

    3. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years

      Do it as Haz will fall a lot in price

      1. KUNingas
        • 8 Years

        Thanks

  13. AYEW KI-EDEN MEE

    Lingard owners should be delighted with that Southampton defence. Patchy

    1. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Id be a bit concerned with Mkhi coming back into the fold potentially increasing rotation.

  14. LosBlancos
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Morata C
    Salah VC
    My VC seems to always score more
    Morata Pogba > Kane Arnautovic and keep Hazard?
    giving me Ogbona Adrian Arnie Kane for the DGW

  15. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Hazard to get 2 points v Arsenal & Price Drop 0.4 by GW23

  16. KJT123
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Those missed Elliot points are going to hurt

  17. THFC4LIFE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Foster RLC KDB Sterling to save my
    week tomorrow. 30 points right there

  18. Essrick
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Haz and Richarlison to Eriksen and Son for free?

    Will give me Og, Son, Erik and Kane for the DGW. Worth bringing in someone else for a -4?

    1. HD7
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Arnie instead of Son for me

  19. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Sold Jones over Christensen to Alonso. Would love a jammy Tadic pen.

  20. Winners900
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Hazard+Richarlison+Mbemba -> Alli+Son+Ogbonna -8p?

    Ther perfect way to finally take Mbemba away.

    A) Yes
    B) No

    Worth it?

  21. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Fab + Elliot + Morata + rlc to quaner + Hart + Adrian + alli for -8
    It will be a super west Ham rotation for next 8 gws plus Oggy
    Thoughts??

    1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      R get Adrian for the time being for -4

  22. EmreCan Hustle
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Eriksen more nailed than Alli?

    1. BIG TONES
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Both nailed imo

  23. I Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Crouch or Quaner if you had to choose?

    1. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Depends on who you think is more likely to get more then 1 point

  24. el polako
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Who should i get for Morata ?
    Would Firmino be points chasing ?
    Any budget strikers worth having ?

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Kane or Aguero.

      1. el polako
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Got Kane, cant be bothered with City's rotation.

  25. the snazzy viking
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    I think Richarlison stays for me. Back in form and great value

    1. Nanoelektronicar
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      But Arnie with dgw and those fixtures, I just have to sell, for FT.

      1. grumpyman
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Yep, no brainer. Might swap back later but Arnie for now. Rich out to him will probably be the most popular move this week.

    2. jia you
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      sell for me WAT form a concern

  26. SuperMane Returns
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Getting Kwiffed is like when you have Salah (vc) after going Hazard (c)

  27. The Royal Robin
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Is there anyone else worth considering to TC in the DGW than Kane?

    1. WE GO FOR IT
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Alli or Son, if you want a differential.

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Winks/Carroll both good shouts

    3. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Salah?

      1. The Royal Robin
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Salah isn't going to be playing 2 games.

        1. Fred54
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Might not even play the next one by the sounds of it.

          1. The Royal Robin
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 4 months ago

            Who, Salah?

        2. Collie01
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          I was joking based on his recent form.

  28. FPL ZB
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Maybe more winning goal BAPs should be given if a team win by 1 goal

    1. I Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      no

    2. boc610
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Stop whinging ,the baps system is sound.

  29. THFC4LIFE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Which would you do?

    A. Azpi and Richarlison > Vert and Son

    B. KDB and Richarlison > Alli and Son

  30. FPL ZB
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 7 Years

    Need some sort of Alli/Erik/Son hot topic

    1. Collie01

      There was one a few days ago
