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.

    Phillips is showing as -34151 on fpl statistics for me lol

    1. ZeBestee
      • 10 Years

      tell them to change the - to -- and you are the FPL winner this season without 10 games to go

    2. Ridcully
      • 7 Years

      The screw keeping him up came loose.

  6. FirminoIsBetterThanYou

    Post BAP's (As it stands) 68 with Eriksen and Mane, thoughts on what will be enough to make the ffscout cup?

  7. The Big Fella
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    I told myself King would be a flash in the pan like Capoue but maybe not.....

    1. Live Lad
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      The two are different. Capoue is never an attacking player. No past achievements before the run. As for King, he scored a lot before as an attacking mid'er or even as a striker.

  8. We Will Klopp you
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Is Olsson likely to be fit for next match? may do Baines to Walker for a hit if not.

  9. Mario Balofail
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Where is Epic Fail. Did you put C on Lukaku?...because I did...ehm 😛

    1. Spike ⚽️

      He did

          Agree he's a very shrewd player

      Top bantz and a fellow Villian, what's not to like!

  10. We Will Klopp you
    • 8 Years

    Thinking about using my ft to do Kane to Ibra to spare me the potential Coutinho/Siggy bench headache and Kane drop, anyway quick poll to decide.

    A) Ibra (bench)
    B) Vardy
    C) Gabbiadini.

    1. Thiga
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      C

    2. MTPockets
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Not A.

    3. SpinyNorman [*_*]
      • 12 Years

      When will the next double gameweeks be?

      1. Cars and Mané
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Probably 34, but not confirmed. Could be one earlier, but seems unlikely.

        1. SpinyNorman [*_*]
          • 12 Years

          Thanks. Is there a chance that there'll be no more DGWs?!

          1. Les Bleus
            • 13 Years

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years

            No

    4. Thiga
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Holebas probably dropping and Valencia rising tonight. Should I go ahead and make the switch or ride out the international break?

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        i'd ideally wait till valencia plays tomorrow. Plus a little risky with valencia flying to ecuador for int break

      2. Cars and Mané
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Ride out. Valencia playing tomorrow then off to South America.

      3. Thiga
        • 8 Years

        Thanks guys. Wait, I shall.

        1. ZeBestee
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Llorente + Barkley >> Gabby + ?

          Mid Sanchez, King, Siggy and Mane

          1. RMA
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            Alli/Eriksen for sure? If you're playing 3-5-2. Otherwise bench fodder.

      3. Bruno Bruno!!
        • 9 Years

        are you being serious, you know its a good score

        What will happen if you fail to qualify?

        Locked up?
        Taken away?
        Surely you have more to worry about in life than meaniel made up competios.

      Anyone wildcarding during this international break? Or is it not the best time to do it?

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

        Double should be announced so you can prepare.

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

          Depends on your team as well.

          1. AYLD28
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 7 months ago

            My team:

            Grant, Jak
            Coleman, David Luiz, B Davies, Funes Mori, Olssen
            Sanchez, Siggy, Mane, King, Eriksen
            Costa, Lukaku, Carroll

            A good amount of players I'd like now though. Vardy, Valencia, Fuchs, Gabbiadini..

      2. Bruno Bruno!!
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Depends entirely on your team

        If you decide to go for it just get in one that might double rise over the two week. And transfer out an end once you have the 2 rises and get the ones you really want.

        1. AYLD28
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Yep, yep.

          So players like Vardy, Valencia maybe

        4 1/2 pints so far and not many inches by midnight.

    8. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Anyone still consider Lukaku out for a hit considering next 2 fixtures? I know one is pool defence but still not easy.

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        I don't like that move to be honest, got to keep lukaku

      2. Hurricane Gilbert
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        The way he and Everton is playing atm, no way

      3. jimmy.floyd
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        No way

      4. The 12th Man
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Fancy Lukaku against Liverpool.

      5. Les Bleus
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Not a chance.

      6. DantheManinaPan
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Lukaku in for a hit makes more sense than Lukaku out for a hit

      7. Karan14
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Bought at 9.5. He's going to be 10.5 tomorrow.

        Can't m sell him with that much value tied in him with 2 plum home fixtures to come.

      8. Cars and Mané
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Nope. Could easily score in the next two, then two great home games.

      9. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      10. matiakez

        Everton are probably the form team, I wouldn't.

      Any news on Walker?

    10. Lallana_
      • 10 Years

      Strange having both of your goalies accumulate 10 pts the same week, especially when against each other

      1. Spike ⚽️
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        I took a hit for Pickford to shift Foster and benched Heaton. Can't complain about that

        1. Lallana_
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          It's nice owning Pickford/Heaton 😎

    11. DantheManinaPan
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Switching the armband from Lukaku to King backfired, but it's actually only an 8 point difference overall, so it's not an absolute disaster.

      Last week, switching the armband from Lukaku to Coutinho was a disaster.

      1. Christophe Savage
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Maybe stop taking the armband off lukaku !

      1. DantheManinaPan

        A

      2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

      Lovely 13 points on my bench from Lanzini and King as I was hoping for a positive result from swans (Llorente & Siggy)

      1. Wild Rover
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        18 points 😉

        1. Zebras
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          After a 12point hit I've made that up with bonus points from starting players, but really regretting putting so much faith in the swans for this fixture

    17. HashAttack

      anyone else thinking Sanchez and Hazard injuries could be could news ... nice rest during the internationals?

        surely he would not have been on for most of the second half if it was that bad

        I have both and a poor bench which is scary. Going to upgrade Diomande to cover myself in case news is not good.

      Tomorrow, I do hope Eriksen, Mane, and Kun will deliver at least 20 points.

      Chasing the first century of season.

        Walker Valencia Alonso.

      3. NATSTER

        Middlesbrough, Saints, Spurs, United

        A Chelsea player
        A Spurs player
        A Hull/Watford defender maybe
