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.

        Who cares? He will earn enough points to be carried over one blank.

      Wasn't watching but I gather it was probably precautionary. I'm assuming he won't even be a doubt for next GW. Hopefully anyway

    What a gameweek so far, brought in shaqiri and naughton. Mili keeps on giving and oggy finally gets that clean sheet.

    Time to see if this Walcott hate is justified... to the member's area!!

      Tosun for results

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        The game before looks healthier, but my word was he even playing today?!!

    3. GE
      • 7 Years

      He was pretty good IMO

    4. Piggs Boson

    5. Soonmixdin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      I transferred him in for this GW - non-plussed by his return. What was being said?

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

    Arnautovic last 7 starts

    6 goals 4 assists

    Essential

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

      Getting him in for Shaqiri who has served me well last 2 games.

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

        Why get rid then ?

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

          Fixtures are getting tough. Cant see him replicating what he is doing now. Arnie has been excellent.

          1. UshFPL
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 2 months ago

            Surrly give him 1 more week

  8. Football Heaven
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    How has Walcott not been involved? Still keeping for good run but getting him in for arnie has hurt

    1. Football Heaven
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      I kinda forgot arnie would come back now I immediately want him back in my team

  9. Karan14

    Pool Triple up (Salah, Mane & Firmino) worth it till wildcard?

    WHU, NEW, mun, WAT, cry

    1. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      I own Salah and Firm. Thinking of getting VVD

    2. Sylas
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Not if you're wildcarding next week.

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

      I think I might get Mane for Sterling

  10. BON
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    This season is pathetic. So many people cheering on players from pub sides like Stoke, Swansea, Burnley and West Ham. Sad.

    1. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      They were pretty much the only teams playing this avo, though!

    2. Football Heaven
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      That’s what this season hasn’t been about. This has been the worst fpl season by far because of high ownership/template teams. It’s Crystal Palace, stoke Burnley and Swansea that win leagues

  11. Robben Mee Blind

    21 points on bench and counting (Allbrighton still to play) 🙁

    1. Robben Mee Blind

      First XI has 13

    2. Bragazeti

      Yikes! I was whining about benching Mili for Mahrez, but I'm now at peace.

      1. Robben Mee Blind
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years

        Yeah Milli is one of the guilty party!

            That's presumptuous.

      Lol

  14. El-Kloppico
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Was hoping for a Kun haul..
    But just realised my rival capped Kun..
    Just hoping for 1 goal and no bonus like Kane now..
    Salah(c) better outscore them both.

  15. Hect.OR 98th
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Naughton and Ogbonna stuck on my bench. At least I didn't bench Shaqiri's points again.

  16. HurriKane
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Arnautovic 7 goals 4 assists in his last 9 pl starts.

    Amaing form and costs only 7m. anyone else considering getting him back.?

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

      *6.8m

      1. Football Heaven
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Yep. But want to keep Walcott. I was gonna get son in for Willian but I think I’ve changed my mind

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

          Was Walcott any good today ?

          1. Peter Russo
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 2 months ago

            walcott was decent for a walcott... had some good runs but ssme old wally his crossing is poor and off the ball he runs like a 100m sprinter which means when he controls the incoming ball its most likely gona be a terrible first touch in the box and defenders clear easily. I think hes good to keep for another round.

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

      People will get him for Wallcot this gw
      And he will blank and Walcott will score
      Its always like that in FPL

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

        yh but im not completely sold on theo yet

  17. Football Heaven

    Will Kane scrape 1 bap? Winning goal?

    1. The Royal Robin
      • 8 Years

      Nah.

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

      No - he was nowhere close to bonus.

    3. Cok3y5murf
      • 7 Years

    4. BobBradleysOpportunity
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  19. Rainer

      30 with baps(3 from shaq) from 6 with triple city Salah Wilson left. Kun(c)

  24. CarsonYeung
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    I'm not sure if I've ever hated one of my own players more than I currently hate Angelo Ogbonna, the useless lump of cack

    1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Told everyone to play him in this gw.

  25. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Last 4 gws
    Pickford -8 points
    Fabianski-20 points
    Pope-21 points
    Lol @ me and others who did fab/pope to pickford on a free or -4 4 weeks ago

    1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      It just sucks

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

      I would've done it if it had been for free, bullet dodged. Think that's confirmed to me that I'll never take a hit for a GK other than something where I can't lose e.g. Elliot → de Gea in a DGW

      1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        But that Ludo post and BFS Teams was hyped upto de gea level and thought Pickford was a very good keeper. Fell into that honeytrap

      2. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Never ever thought I will lose this much on that fab to pick transfer

  26. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 13 Years

    F off Pickford

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

      f ()ckford

  27. Postman Ty
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    So is anyone talking about how crap and overrated Aubameyang was today?

    0 shots. 1 duel won, 10 lost. 0 dribbles. 0 tackles. 1 header won, 7 lost.
    All on the back of 1 clearly offside goal which almost caused a price rise in his first week, before Spurs and City.

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      lol.
      What do you make of Lacazette the Donkey!

      1. Postman Ty
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Worse 😉
        At least Aubameyang should be able to fill the Vardy role which will net him a few.

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

      How can u be overrated over 1 game?

      One of the most prolific strikers in Europe another arsenal here

      1. Postman Ty
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        His price almost rose from what should have been a blank. It's already fairly high as well, and right before two very difficult matches. That is the definition of overrated. Every new player should be tentatively wait and see.

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

      No service all game, the defence and midfield forgot how to pass in the second half and Auba was shunted out to the left for the last half hour to put in crosses for Lacazette.

      1. Postman Ty
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Total passes 18, success rate 55%. You can't just blame the team when all of his individual stats were atrocious, poor service or not.

  28. FPLHaggis
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    2 from 1, how am I looking? 😀

  29. Piggs Boson
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    It's looking like 11pts for Naughton. Great scout pick.

    Carvahal is a very good manager, I think I need more Swansea...

    1. drughi
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      went for naughton last minute, considered bauer but looked at swanseas fixtures and couldnt resist

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

      I'm still scarred from him earlier in the season. Got him in after that first assist and blanked for weeks on end after that.

      1. Postman Ty
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        He had two clean sheets in the five games after his first assist. That's not good, but it's hardly scarring compared to the other crap that happens in this game.

  30. Chucky
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    4 from 2. 24 points guaranteed...

    1. Jafooli
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      😮 😀

      Capper Chucko?
