Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Monday

Gameweek 35 comes to its conclusion this evening as Hull welcome Arsenal to the KC Stadium. After a number of their relegation rivals won over the weekend, Steve Bruce’s side sit just one point clear of the drop zone despite clinching back-to-back victories over Palace and Liverpool in their double Gameweek 34.

The Tigers backline are seeking a third straight clean sheet after upping their resilience in the fight for survival, whilst Dame N’Doye owners will be looking for more of the same after the January signing bagged a brace against Palace in the previous round of fixtures.

Arsenal, meanwhile, will be eagerly assessed by Fantasy managers with one eye firmly on double Gameweek 37. Olivier Giroud has seven goals and an assist in the last eight rounds of fixtures, whilst Alexis Sanchez has three strikes and an assist in his previous four outings in all competitions – both looked poised for significant investment as Arsene Wenger’s side prepare for three home clashes and a trip to United in the final three Gameweeks.

Aaron Ramsey, Mesut Ozil and Santi Cazorla are also vying for our attentions in the centre of the park, whilst at the back, Laurent Koscielny and co. look to extend the series of displays which have seen the Gunners concede just three times in the last seven Gameweeks.

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

        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

  4. zon
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Which one from Sunderland, Larsson or Gomez? I guess Larsson is better otherwise, but Gomez has penalties?

    1. Pariße
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Larsson for me.

      1. zon
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks. Listened to my gut... and you, went for Larsson.

        1. Pariße
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 29 days ago

          Hopefully it's another Walters situation, I brought him in as a punt just days before his hattrick 🙂

  5. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 11 Years

    I hate raheem sterling even more now for seducing me into thinking he would score more than Alexis sanchez this week.at least I had rambo .

    1. The Machine
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      never getting sterling again

      1. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        He is so out of my team .

  7. The Machine
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    1. sinik
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

    2. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      could do, but little need, it would take a serious failure to lose that advantage

      1. Ricky - it doesn\'t ta…
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Yer guess so. Thanks

      • 9 Years

      1. Ricky - it doesn\'t ta…
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I can't stand him in real life he is awful. May (c) a defender

  11. Numb
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Think it might be wise to keep 1 Arsenal slot free this week.

    1. World XI
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      why?

      1. The Gambler.
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Injuries?

      2. Numb
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Because the situation keeps changing every week.

    2. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I think I'm doing just that.

      Bringing in Sanchez and Benteke and leaving it open for a -4 the week after to bring in Kosc and one other midfielder which I'll give myself another week to decide on

  12. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Already used 2FT to get Sanchez and Gomez

    A) Now: Fabregas-> Ramsey for a hit
    DGW: Vardy -> Wickham for free

    B) Now chill
    DGW: Just Fabregas-> Ramsey

  13. Pariße
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Cazorla might prove to be a good differential for those with less money. He was great today and was denied a clear penalty...still can't believe how that was not given.

  14. Ange Ball
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    So my rival 58pts ahead.

    What do you all this of Sterling Giroud OUT Ramsey Tekkers IN -4

    1. Ange Ball
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      think*

    2. mojoindojo
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Only Ramsey if you have to. It well might be Giroud next week

    3. Numb
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      You'll be 62 points behind.

    4. KLOPPTOMANIA
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      do you then have a spare slot for arse, and who will you fill your arse slot with...?

      1. Ange Ball
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        No I will have Ramsey Giroud Bellerin then my rival will prob block me like his been doing last 3 game weeks putting in the same players I put in. I maybe playing against a Chelsea Fan.........

  15. mojoindojo
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Interviewer: Hector, Arsenal has scored 100 goals this season. What does it tell about Arsenal's attack?

    Hector: Well it shows that Arsenal have players who can score goals.

    No sh!t sherlock!

    1. Dr. Agabuse
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Stupid question

      1. mojoindojo
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Aye it was.

  16. KLOPPTOMANIA
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    0.1 short for sterling to ramsey... Should I take a hit?

    Myhill/schmeichel
    Terry, alder, Dawson, Moreno, morgan,
    Hazard, silva, Sanchez, sterling, boyd
    Kane, Kun, aguero

    Boyd to albrighton?
    Giroud to Teskers?

    1. Leaf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Moreno bellerin ?

      1. KLOPPTOMANIA
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        That would give me 4 arse

        1. mojoindojo
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Moreno to PvA then?

          1. KLOPPTOMANIA
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

    2. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Sell Kun, keep Aguero though

      1. KLOPPTOMANIA
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Dammit, that's giroud

        1. Gazza2000
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          🙂 get Cazorla instead

          1. KLOPPTOMANIA
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Ooh interesting call

  17. Ricky - it doesn\'t ta…
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Giroud or ars mid for dgw? Already got ospina + Alexis + pva

    1. Numb
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Wait a week. Opinions keep changing.

  18. Ed
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone know if Ramsey or Sterling will change in price tonight?

  19. Acquafresca
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Quick question.

    Are any of Ramsey, Kos, Ozil or Giroud planned to rise tonight?

    (No ask his missus responses pls)

    1. mojoindojo
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Darn!

  20. FPL Maldini
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Should I do:

    a) Terry, Haz and Coutinho out --> in Cazorla, Sanchez and Kos (-4)

    b) Skrtel, Coutinho and Aldeweild out --> in Ozil, Kos and PvA (-4)

    1. Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Dont like taking Terry and Haz out, could you get rid of others and get Bellerín instead of Kos?

  21. _Gunner
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Have already Sanchez and Ospina, who to get as a 3rd arsenal ?

  22. Cocky Spaniel Alves
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone thinking of Grealish as an option? Could afford Sterling to Ramsey if I swap Cambiasso for Grealish... (2FT)

  23. sinik
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Top 10k average: 57.2 (+9.7)
    Overall average: 43.9 (+12.0)

  24. Sp0rting
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Cue all the "my transfer paid off this week" comments.

    Well done, it's only taken you 35 weeks to get it right.

    And, yes, I'm a bitter man.

    1. Leaf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      My transfer paid off this week

      But it was selling that (use your own description) Remy so hardly surprising

  25. Az
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Cazorla was excellent tonight.

    Decent differential over Ramsey / Ozil?

    1. Sp0rting
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      He's the poor mans Albrighton.

    2. Jax
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      good for assists but not often enough

  26. Norco
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Dang, was hoping for anything but a Sanchez haul, always the bloody way.

    Sterling + Kane + Fabregas > Sanchez + Benteke + Ramsey (-4) worth the hit this week?

    Giving me:
    Pants/Myhill
    Terry Skrtel Bertrand
    Sanchez Hazard Ramsey Silva
    Kun Benteke Vardy

    Boyd, PvA, Yun

    1. Torres76
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yes that's the same team and swaps I am doing

      1. Norco
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Sweet, thanks. Goodluck

  27. Vpan
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    a) Giroud

    b) Benteke + save 1FT

    c) both -4

    1. Acquafresca
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      B

  28. Dr. Agabuse
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Arsenal the best Team in the country atm by a mile. Shame we didn't produce at the start.

    Sánchez to keep 3baps?

    1. Wouter
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Most entertaining? Yes.
      Best? Not so sure.

      1. The Machine
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        arsenla have the best squad i reckon. Shame abour the injuries

        1. La Roja
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Massively. Next year, we go again

        2. Somalion
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Arguably best midfield. Don't think I'll agree with you on strikers, defenders or goalkeepers though. Chelsea most rounded imo.

    2. FPL Maldini
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      If they were the best they would have produced agaisnt Chelsea the other day

    3. Jax
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      don't they always do this though? need to be consistent week in week out. like chelsea.

  29. preseasonblues
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    A) Aguero + Henderson
    B) Benteke + Sanchez (-4)

    1. zon
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      B)

  30. Flynny
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    10 pts ahead of rival who has Ramsey.

    Do I do sterling to Ramsey

    Or

    Have exact cash for fabregas to Sanchez.....however this would leave me with 3 lpool players for their trip to Chelsea.

    Advice?
