Dugout Discussion – Saturday

A quartet of afternoon kick-offs keep the Gameweek rolling, with plenty of interest in a range of mid-price Fantasy assets.

Swansea City’s Jordan Ayew is among the most signed players in action, having claimed another 139,000 owners ahead of his home meeting with Burnley. The Ghanian has four goals in his last seven Gameweeks.

Theo Walcott has also proved a popular acquisition this week, with 128,000 managers snapping him up having watched him produce two goals and an assist in his previous two home matches on Merseyside. He takes on Crystal Palace at Goodison Park today.

Pascal Gross also features among the top ten most signed ahead of today’s deadline, with 126,000 swooping for the Brighton playmaker. He returned 13 points in the 3-1 win over West Ham last time out.

The German will face a rejuvenated Stoke City side who have kept two clean sheets in their three matches under new manager Paul Lambert. Xherdan Shaqiri is the Potters’ own big asset on show – he goes into today’s contest owned by 498,000+ managers.

West Ham host Watford in the final three o’clock encounter. All eyes will be on Gerard Deulofeu in this one; following his 13 points against Chelsea on Monday; the winger has been signed by 192,000, second only to Arsenal pair Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang ahead of today’s deadline.

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

    Selling Azpi this week, no idea who to bring in, can be pretty much anyone. Ideas?

      i’m watching vvd over next 2 weeks in UCL and tomorrow. he has good fixtures, typically has a goal or 2 in him and doesn’t blank

        it’s whether Klopp rotates. if Liverpool go out UCL it may be clearer

    Finally sold Richarlison today. Set for a haul

    1. Richd
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Strange time to sell imo. Yes I know he hasn’t scored for a while.. but no blank.. good fixtures..

      1. Rik Waller
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Yep, but I sold him for Shaqiri. Made the call that he'd outscore Rich by more than 4 over the next few GWs

  8. Yellin' in my Ear
    • 9 Years

    Score check. 8 from 3 here

    Nice picture of Carlos Carvalhal he does come across as a really nice chap and seems to be getting the best out of his players.

    1. Vinyl78LP
      • 14 Years

      Reminds me of Gru from Despicable me

  10. Limited & Mediocre Mana…

    I get so nervous when doubling up in defense. Let's go Pope & Mee

    1. Differentiator
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Let's go the Swanners!

    2. shotgunnufc - MANIAC

      • 11 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      that game has 0-0 written all over it. swansea essentially playing 5 at the back

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

    Mangalol is a joke. Almost leads to a Cabaye goal

  12. Ógie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Robbie Savage seems a bit rough around the edges today must have had a late night.

    Can someone explain why Harry's not getting any bonus points?

    1. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      He did more negative things than positive.

      1. Differentiator
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Like winning the game

        1. Now I'm Panicking

      2. supersham
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

    2. Red Dagger ✪
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      Missed a bunch of chances.

    3. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Well not missing several chances would have helped

    4. Smh

      Inbreeding

    5. Arctic monkeys
      • 10 Years

    9. COLLIN QUANER

    1. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

  16. BIGREDDOG

    Antonio looks super quick and sharp

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Until he next gets injured...

      1. BIGREDDOG
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

  17. GreenArrows
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Well this isn’t fun, only got Pope Duffy and Walcott playing this afternoon

    1. Thiga
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      At least you have an attacker. Try Fabianski, Bauer & Martina 😆

  18. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Burnley have started well. Will only be 6 points behind Arsenal in the race for 6th if they can get 3 points today.

    1. Zilla
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Burnley in EL lads

    2. Pariße
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      There's no such thing as ''race for 6th''.

    3. Sims
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      So just 1 points less than the difference between ars and spurs 🙄

  19. Ask Yourself
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Only got Duffy playing can finally enjoy supporting West Ham without worrying about effects of fantasy

    1. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Can you ever really enjoy supporting west ham? 🙂

    2. A Team Of James McCleans
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      I think what you mean is instead of suffering both fpl and west ham , its only west ham this time

      1. Ask Yourself
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Nicely done

  20. Pariße
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Weird not to be nervous about any clean sheets at 3pm kick-off.

  21. Fred54
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    'Enjoy' and 'West Ham'...what an odd mix.

    1. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Reply fail to Lenin.

      (Yes Lenin.)

  22. Cityzen Kane
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Not happy as Pickford owner with Mangala infront.. Awful.

    1. Arctic monkeys
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Trying his absolute best to ruin that CS

  23. Fred54
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Could be Pope's last game. Make it count son!

    1. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      He has been great value i will be sorry to see him go.

    2. Sif
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Heaton won't come until Burnley have 40 points and Europe out of the equation.

    3. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Absolutely not a chance he will be dropped only because Heaton is back. The lad has been superb

  24. Knowledgeable meerkat
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Would love a choupo return so much

  25. how now brown cow
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Already feeling getting Walcott was a big mistake.

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

      Relax, 17 mins in

      1. how now brown cow
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        It's not that. It just always is a mistake isn't it?

    2. the axolotl
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      just sold richarlison for him because i got sick of watching a guy constantly running down blind alleys, making stupid decisions and missing chance after chance...

      1. Yozzer
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        So you went for Theo 😆 . It will be like ground hog day

        1. how now brown cow
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          I think the irony was missed...

        2. the axolotl
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          hey i'm a hopeless optimist. 🙂

          1. Yozzer
            • 6 Years
            6 years, 2 months ago

            It's fine I have him too

    3. Arctic monkeys
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah 18 minutes and he didn't score, BIG mistake

      1. how now brown cow
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        I mean bigger picture. Every season I end up getting him at some stage.

  26. JJO
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    So in these 5 games I have more players on my bench then starting
    And all with good fixtures
    Some will punish me for sure

  27. La Roja
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    20 minutes of shitfest

    1. Arctic monkeys
      • 10 Years

  29. Sims
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      “Never seen him play”

      1. tisza
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

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

        Thanks for repeating my statement

    2. Yozzer
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Don't think I'd ever put a player in id never seen play myself but good luck

    3. Cok3y5murf
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      So you're just chasing last week's points
