Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Saturday

After Chelsea’s dramatic win at the Etihad, there are five 3pm kick-offs to keep us ticking over.

Harry Kane carries the armband hopes of many Fantasy Premier League managers for Gameweek 14 – the Spurs forward earned 32% of the Captain Poll votes against a Swansea outfit that have conceded at three times in four of their six matches under Bob Bradley.

Second only to Kane for transfers up front since last week’s deadline, Southampton’s Charlie Austin travels to a Palace defence that have been breached in all 13 Gameweeks so far.

Jermain Defoe also earned plenty of new owners ahead of Sunderland’s home encounter with Leicester. The top value forward in FPL, he faces a defence that have conceded 16 times on their travels – no side have shipped more.

All three forwards have the chance to stake a claim as our Sergio Aguero replacement, in light of the City striker’s dismissal earlier today.

Over in the midlands, West Brom’s Matt Phillips looks to continue the form that has racked up two goals and three assists in the last three Gameweeks as Watford roll up to the Hawthorns.

Back from a one-match ban, Stoke’s Joe Allen is only named amongst the subs against a Burnley side that have conceded at least three times in all but one of their away matches.

      Winner of hardnut of PL 2016 award.

    Any hope kane gets the 3 baps or only 2

    1. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Slight chance when game winning goal is factored in

    2. Nicoson
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      He scored game winning goal, that's +3 bp

      I did Stanislas --> Phillips to fund Kane and then realised I should've done Tekkers --> Austin instead and have been ruing the decision all week! It's nice how these things work out 😀

    Help please

    Which option to pick?
    A. Aguero, Allen -> Defoe/Austin, Hazard -4
    Or
    B. Aguero -> Ibra

    Already have costa and Kane

  6. Kaneyonero
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Reckon Kane will share 3 bps with Eriksen always the case when 2 players are very close

    Some thanks to FFS repliers who told me to stick with Alonso in lineup and bench Holebas. Thats a smooth 5 points extra. Premium player for a reason

  8. The 12th Man
    • 11 Years

    Coutinho,Lukaku > Erikson,Kane(c)-4 went well.

    Two reds, a melee and yet still not even a yellow for Costa? Amazing.

    1. Go Loons
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Costa was already off the pitch at that point.

    2. Odikostar

  20. Optimus.
    • 13 Years

    For those like me who stupidly haven't got Costa and are looking to get him in tonight but are worried of an injury... Fast forward to 1:20 and look who comes running into the picture 😉

      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Agonised over Eriksen or Siggy. Chose wrong. Painful.

      1. The Fantastic Mr Fox
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

      2. BB-8
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

      Team which had zero wins in 15 games, have now won 3 on the trot in EPL with the thrid against the reigning champions.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years

        Makes it sound better when you say reigning champions, but doesn't factor in that they're shiite 😀

    11. Leaf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago
