Dugout Discussion

Dugout Discussion – Bournemouth vs Swansea

Saturday’s events conclude on the south coast as Bournemouth host Swansea City at the Vitality Stadium.

It’s a fitting finale for Fantasy managers, who will have keen interest in several key assets who promise another round of returns.

Josh King will be the headline act following his Gameweek 28 exploits that brought an 18-point return. More than 221,000 FPL managers swooped for the Norwegian ahead of today’s contest, with another 20,000 going so far as to hand him the armband.

But the Swans boast their own major assets, as Gylfi Sigurdsson looks to return points once again: he’s provided a goal or an assist in eight of his nine outings under Paul Clement.

Meanwhile, Fernando Llorente is fit to lead the attack for the Welsh club as he bids to reward a flood of new owners that arrived prior to Gameweek 28. More than 116,000 sold the Spanish striker ahead of this evening’s game following his one-point return and early exit at Hull City last weekend

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

    Sold Kane for Costa - What a fail 🙁

    1. McEwan
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Costa outscored Kane so not a total fail

      1. Sims
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Every other player he could have bought also would have (barring any red card/own goal)

        1. McEwan
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Indeed, and they also wouldn't have been a fail! Jeez, it's one gw and Costa is a long term buy imo. It was hardly a plum fixture, and unlucky that one of his main aids wasn't playing

    2. Gooner Kebab
      • 11 Years

      You know the risk with getting Costa, he doesn't score double digits often.

    3. Wild Rover

      Ditto. Changed my mind from Vardy

      Did you only want him for 1 week?

      1. French Gooner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        investment per point ratio is not great with costa imo (captain hindsight speaking)

    I benched pickford for valdes. Please be rubbish tomorrow United!

      you did what

    Lukaku captain feels like a hollow victory because everyone did the same thing.

    1. McEwan
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      A lot but not all so it is a win. Regardless of ownership, if you get the captain on the highest scoring player, it's a win!

    2. Gooner Kebab
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      The same feeling caused others to not captain him 🙂
      Reverse reverse psychology.

      The victory isn't in him getting you points others are missing out on but you not missing out and letting everyone else get points on you.

      Not to me, I want the most points possible from my captain

    5. Rainer

      Rival in ML captained Kun with monthly prize on the line, always different implications!

  4. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    C'mon King, sick of the blanking now

  5. Differentiator
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Was the Luiz assist legitimate?

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Yes, headed towards goal, block/cleared, fell to Cahill.

      1. McEwan
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        When I seen it, just shook my head. get peiters back out at wing back and away from the danger zone! Put his legs on the wrong way round this morning

    Just saw Lukaku double gutted even tho I owned him. Everyone in my league cap him I did King. Time to start playing boring me thinks.

    1. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Just got back after I left Everton at 2-0 with a Lukaku assist.. What a gift to see that he scored 2 goals.. Happy Days as a captainer

  10. Backup Dancer

    Never underestimate playing Hull at home.

    1. Ridcully
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Same here apart from the fact it would be my fifth consecutive green arrow.

  13. Harper (No more Penandes)
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    7 years, 1 month ago

    Imagine if Spurs still had Siggy. That attack would be mental.

    1. Ha.
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      He wouldn't be on pens then 😛

    2. Differentiator
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Nah, Spurs attack needs pace. If we had Sanchez or Bale.....

      1. Ha.
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Any team with Sanchez in, other than Arsenal, would do well

    3. Team Cruel

  17. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Now that Sanchez has a concerning ankle injury..Game 30 transfer priorities have changed. What do you lads think of Kun to:??

    (a) Deeney at Home vs Sunderland
    (b) Gabbi at Home vs Bournemouth
    (c) other

    1. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Suppose Vardy is an option too

  18. Smurf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Fraser playing very, very well.

    1. MTPockets
        7 years, 1 month ago

        On my bench, but nice to hear.

    2. The Big Fella
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Who is on Swansea pens? Siggy or Llorente?

      1. Totally !rre!evant
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Siggy

      2. Smurf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Siggy.

    3. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
      • 8 Years

      So is it costa to vardy or nah?

      1. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        No way.

      2. Gooner Kebab
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        luxury transfer imo.

      3. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Nope

    4. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Siggy and Llorente so vital to Swansea's attacking threat.

    5. Ha.
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      My rival benched Heaton 😆

      But played Pickford 😎

      1. Tim Canterbury
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I did aswell. Feels strange. Feel like I should get 15 points or something

        1. Ha.

      FPL has made this game interesting. Otherwise most people would not be bothered.

      1. Gooner Kebab
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I'd watch BOU, they've got goals.

        1. Gooner Kebab
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          boro v burnley is a better example 🙂

      Biggest thing with injuries is whether the player had a previous injury before. So with Kane we knew it was serious because he had already injured his ankle this season. At least with Sanchez he not got any previous injury record to set him back.

    8. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      A pen for each team would be great here.

      1. Smurf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        As long as King scores it this time, that is.

        1. Wild Rover
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Might not take it after bottling the last one

        • 14 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        21 goals & 6 assists this year... He's turned into a genuine A-Lister. At least an 11.0m starting price next year i'd say

        1. RAFA THE GAFFA
          • 8 Years
