Dugout Discussion

Dugout Discussion – Tuesday

Gameweek 31 is upon us and underway courtesy of a quartet of Tuesday night matches under lights.

In Fantasy terms, the focus will be on Old Trafford where Zlatan Ibrahimovic returns to the equation and Manchester United’s starting line-up against Everton.

Having once been owned by over 2.4 million FPL managers, he’s now part of just over half that number and, intriguingly, goes head-to-head with the new top owned asset in Everton’s Romelu Lukaku tonight.

The Toffees frontman will be under renewed pressure to deliver following his tepid display in Saturday’s Merseyside derby. With Ibrahimovic now returned ahead of United’s two double Gameweeks, Lukaku needs to show willing and perhaps produce points to stave off increasing sales.

Elsewhere, Leicester City’s renaissance receives its latest test with basement dwellers Sunderland at the King Power Stadium. The Foxes have won four successive Premier Leauge matches and, while Jermain Defoe is fit to start for the visitors, Jamie Vardy and company will be backed for another win and further returns.

Meanwhile, Burnley host Stoke City at Turf Moor with Tom Heaton the key asset on show, while West Brom make the trip to Vicarage Road with Gareth McAuley the big draw – he boasts six goals from corner kicks, with the Hornets conceding ten from set-plays, only Bournemouth have conceded more.

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

      Leave Walker in the team!
      I'd sell Alonso and upgrade 4th midfield. Your def is quite pricey. Rotation means you'll need to strengthen your bench.

    I have created a FFS league for the official IPL Fantasy Game.

    fantasy.iplt20.com/league/join/djjXwuOB

    The game requires you to be active throughout , so I think a lot of us should do well 🙂

        I've heard most say on here that Fandromeda is more reliable.

          I like Fandromeda way better.

          I'll be playing both though.

            I don't think I'll have the time to manage both - so I'll stick to Fandro. 🙂

        Thanks for this mate. I know it's bit late but I won the IPL official game thanks mainly to your excel sheet. I'd never have made one on my own because I'm way too lazy to do that. Thanks again.

        Warner (c), Watson have been poor so far, Henriques has done well for me with bowling still to go. Have Jadhav and Bhuvi as well.

  3. TheTinman
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Wildcard in GW34.

    Bring in Zlat, DDG, Valencia, Valdes, Zaha and maybe another from Boro or CPL. Transfer in 35, 36 & 37 to bring in DGW playerz.

    Seems solid right?

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah

    2. TheTinman
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Wait a minute... DDG & Valdes.

      Probably go for Boro Defender instead of Valdes

    3. Pep says
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      United could be resting and rotating players for the Burnley game. I wouldnt Triple up on them, no way!

      Would prefer double Boro defence over double United. Zaha or Benteke worth a punt but that's about it.

      1. TheTinman
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Fair enough. I have those concerns.

        Do you think Bailly could get rotated? My rival has triple Utd defence...

        1. Pep says
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          That's crazy. All 3 will not get 6 games. They play Burnley and City. 2 clean sheets is far from a cert.

    4. TheTinman
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Biggest worry is Utd. Don't want Valencia getting rotated again.

    5. VS10_
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Wildcarded this week. Got in Valdes, Gibson, Zaha, Zlatan. Will add Valencia later if he looks set to play both.

      1. TheTinman
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Nice! Seems like 4 or 5 is more than enough.

  4. La Roja
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    It will be interesting to see how will Firmino and Coutinho will perform in absence of Mane Hendo Lallana.

    1. Pep says
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      It will. Could they drop a little deeper to begin the plays and get the ball to Origi. Lallana and Mane are huge losses for them and all season, they have struggled when missing players. Firmino got 1 goal in 10 when Coutinho 1st got injured I think

  5. Sal76sal

    Hi guys
    Do we know the defo dgw teams for gw34 and who there playing 2nd game?
    Thanks

      1. Sal76sal
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Nice one!!
        So only 3 dgw for defo!?

  6. JayBomb
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Pick an option, want to sell Foster but is it a week too early?

    A Save Transfer
    B Buy Heaton
    C Buy Valdes

    My other keeper is Grant. Thanks?

    1. Pep says
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I'd save. Could have more pressing issues next week. Hold..

    2. Make Arrows Green Again
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Get Valdes in time for for DGW 34 but not this week.

  7. Jet5605
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Hey guys, how's my team looking. I double up Spurs mid, upgrade defence or ditch Phillips? Which option is best:

    A - Phillips > Eriksen
    B - Phillips > Sane
    C - Phillips > Coutinho
    D - Brunt > Bavies

    Heaton - Pickford
    Mawson - McAuley - Valencia - Brunt - Amat
    Sanchez - Siggie - Mane - King - Phillips
    Vardy - Lukaku - Carroll

    1. Pep says
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Phillips to Sané or Erik

    2. Jeremy Corbyn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Mane??

    3. TSILIKAFENEIAKOS
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Mane, Philipps > Coutinho / Alli.

      No point holding any of them, don't afraid the hit.

  8. AVIELD949
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Any thoughts on this WC team?

    Valdes. Pick.
    Walker. Alonso. Gibson. Holgate. Stephens.
    Sanchez. Alli. Sane. Zaha. T Carroll.
    Kun. Carroll. Lukaku

    0.7m ITB. Thanks

    1. Pep says
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I'd take Davies or Walker. Rose is now a doubt for the FA Cup, we won't see him for a while and Walker must be carrying a small knock still from before internationals.

      DeRoon over T. Carroll cause the double. Maybe bench Carroll (WHU) in 34. Holgate and Stephens not nailed. Maybe Jagielka and Cedric/Yoshida with the Walker money?

  9. FCSB
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Ibrahimovic IN for:

    1. Costa
    2. Lukaku
    3. Neither

    Thanks

    1. applebonkers
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years

      Costa can get in the bin

    2. Make Arrows Green Again
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Costa, he doesn't look interested ATM

      Yes

      1. BigManBakar

        • 11 Years

        Fandromeda or Official?

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years

            Think Fandromeda is more reliable? Official seems to get frozen around the times when the teams are announced.

  11. Millie7

    jaku (cech)

    alonso holebas valencia (pieters) (smith)

    sterling sanchez siggy ali (leko)

    origi carroll lukaku

    got 2.3 itb and 2 free transfers...what would you guys do??

    1. Pep says
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Cech to Valdes and Holebas to Davies?

      1. Millie7

        thanks pep

      2. trinzoo
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Holebas had 2 cs in a row, on set pieces, I would keep.

  12. FPL Hitman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Is it advisable to go without any Chelsea players for the remainder of the season (except for DGW)?

    1. Pep says
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Don't think it's problem. They're points are very spread out. Costa seems to only score single digit returns at best. Hazard is on and off. Pedro and Willian share points and minutes. Fabregas now getting solid returns but isn't nailed. Defence is up in the air. I have Alonso and I'm holding but I'm not worried about anyone else. Maybe Hazard for GW 37, I'll see

      1. FPL Hitman
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers! Currently owning Costa & Alonso and considering letting go of one of them. But am afraid as I did not own their players for a major part of the season and suffered quite a bit as a result.

  13. ANON.
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Thoughts on what to do here?
    A. Evans to Gibson
    B. Mawson to Gibson
    C. Save
    D. Other ideas?

    Heaton
    Alonso, Valencia, Evans
    Sanchez, Alli, Eriksen, King
    Ibra, Lukaku, Carroll

    Pickford, Mawson, Fletcher, Holebas
    1FT, 1.1m ITB. WC and BB left

    1. Pep says
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Evans out before Mawson. Mawson should score another goal at least in the run in.

      Evans to Davies maybe. King has horrid fixtures next 2, upgrade fletcher to Zaha if you can afford

    2. Luis Suarez Ate My Homework
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I would go Davies over Gibson. Instant returns guaranteed with the next two fixtures at home to Watford and Bournemouth.

      1. ANON.
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Won't Rose be back soon though?

  14. The Mighty Whites
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    What do we reckon for GW32, 0.1 ITB, 1FT.

    Valdes - Jakupovic

    David Luiz - Valencia - McAuley - Holebas - Naughton

    Sanchez - Sigurdsson - Pedro - Snodgrass - de Roon

    Aguero - Lukaku - Defoe

    1. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Snod to Zaha

    can someone explain a little about Fandromeda Gangs ? On Fandromeda In IPL fantasy.

    1. BigManBakar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I have no clue - I'm having trouble deciding b/w Fandromeda and IPL fantasy myself.

      1. Phil Dagger ⭐
        • 7 Years

        Do both ??

        1. Fred54
          • 9 Years

        3. Eden Hazardous
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Likely to get insane doing that by May. Official is official but Fandromeda is the superior site

  16. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Foster Pickford
    Alonso Holebas Walker Baines McAuley
    Zaha Siggy Sanchez King Alli
    Llorente Lukaku Kun
    1.1itb 1ft

    Thoughts?
    Tempted by the following...
    A. Keep Llorente til 34. Siggy to Sane.
    B. Baines or Gareth to Valencia
    C. Baines or Gareth to Gibson
    C. Foster to Valdes

    Any takers? Willing to stick or hit.

    1. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      A is simply because of how rubbish third striker options are.

  17. Kings of Lyon ★
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    12 points plus Bertrand, Carroll and King

    vs

    Aguero, Jakupovic and Davies

    Need an Aguero brace and 2 CSs vs nothing. Easy.

    1. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Ooh. Hope you win. Top one is marginal favourite though.

    now I'm partial to a bit of jose
    and I'm a citeh fan
    treatment of L shaw is interesting-he needs(or is told he needs )to play him; does not rate him(this goes beyond motational 'banter')
    Being eased out in favour of a swap deal that jose has identified is my guess?

    1. Pep says
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Ya he really slated Shaw in the post match

      1. 32chickens
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        could be a clever move to make rags fans accept a high price move across town(young english player v citeh FB crocs).....interesting as I say
        And yes I'd accept shaw playing for citeh-he's talented ,needs encouragement not berating imo

    2. Pinky Blinders

      Shaw got an assist yesterday.

    BTW been meaning to ask, what this Sanchez/Monreal thing where Sanchez would only pass to Monreal, or most of the time would? It was mentioned quite a bit on the match discussion thread for the Arse-Citeh game...

      He was dutifully fulfilling his duty as a left winger by linking up with Monreal...who kept fluffing it. He curtailed his attacking instincts a lot - not sure if that was under direction (odd if so?) or he was making a point.

      In the same role against WBA the GWK before he didn't do that at all and looked a real menace.

        Thanks Jonty. He doens't take too well to be told what to do, so do you think it was genuine sabotage on his part?

      I just wish Wenger would put him back as the focal point of the offense and end this charade that Welbeck, Giroud or Walcott are actually going to do enough to warrant sticking your best player out on the wing.

    Good morning all. That was fun night last night huh?

    How did everyone do?

    1. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Vardy (C) 18, Fuchs 7, Heaton 6
      Lukaku 2, McAuley 0.

      Unless Alonso gets sent off, playing McAuley over him was the craziest punt I've probably taken this season.

      14 points -4 from 4 players. Hoping Sanchez (c) runs the show tonight

    3. Stimps

      6 from 4...

    Enough cash to do

    Llorente & Siggy -> Zlatan & Zaha (-4)

    Pull the trigger before the weekend or wait till after to do it for free?

    1. Pep says

      Swansea playing West Ham who currently have one of the worst defence in the league. Could bite you

    is this a good plan moving forward:

    - next 2/3 gameweeks filter in players with DGWs GW34 (man / mid / cpl)
    - wildcard GW36 for a full squad of GW37 DGW players
    - bench boost GW37

    ???

    thanks

    1. @fpl_phenom
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      that IS the plan mate... its mine anyway.... supposedly the most likely strategy to give big returns....

      1. FCSB
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        sweet... shame its looking like ill be too far out of touch then - would need an incredible DGW haul haha

        1. @fpl_phenom

    Good move next week pending injuries etc?
    Pieters and Coutinho > Yoshida and Dele Alli for -4?

    1. Hasselbaink Forever - Defoe…
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Why sell Coutinho?

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Not sure he will be as effective without Mane, just like when he left for AFCON

      What happened?

        I woke up and remembered how poorly I'm doing

        1. Fred54
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          8 from 4 is hardly end of the World.

          Whose the 7 left?

            Not just this week, in general 😛

            San(c)hez to make it a happy Wednesday, though ;). Differential captain over my two closest rivals (Vardy and Coutinho)

  26. Partick Bateman
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Vardy to Agüero(c) FT? After pressers.

    Heaton
    Valencia Baines B Davies
    Sigurdsson Sanchez Zaha Alli Lanzini
    Lukaku Vardy
    Pickford Llorente Brunt Amat

    Choices still to be made re: Starting XI

    1. @fpl_phenom
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      absolutely! although Ibra might be a better option with Sunderland next and doubles coming after that.....

      1. Partick Bateman
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Probably switch a striker to Ibra for the DGW only. Which means I would probably only do the first of your moves below depending on how Chelsea perform tonight.

        1. @fpl_phenom
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          its killing me bu I guess you have to just realise that Costa v bournemouth is probably as good as Ibra v Sunderland... considering the hit hes surely a better option

  27. @fpl_phenom
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Guys would you do the following changes for a hit?

    Brunt > Chambers
    Costa > Ibrahimovic

    bearing in mind Costa has bournemouth at home....

    1. FCSB
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      im considering 2... but similar dilemma as you

  28. Cantona90
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    What to do. I've created myself a tough dilemma. Pros and cons of Vardy and Lukaku please. Got a few myself, but still can't decide which to get rid of for Zlatan. Maybe I don't?

    Vardy good form.
    Lukaku dreadful against Liverpool, average against United.
    Vardy 5 away fixtures in the next 6. However Leicesters style may be better suited away from home.
    Everton patched up defence. If they concede Lukaku may be less likely to get BPS if he does score.
    Everton better fixtures.

    Ibra possible risk of rotation should United not win the next match.

    So who to get rid of?
    Vardy
    Lukaku
    Neither

    1. Pinky Blinders
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I think Ibra is the new Costa. Fairly uninspiring, maybe 1 goal in a match, that's about it. Oh and he's more expensive. I think the decision is either stick with Vardy or find a way to upgrade to Aguero for next couple. Maybe Ibra is a bit better by the time 34 rolls around or Kane is back. Not sure I see anything else out there more interesting on the forward front.

      I'm stuck on this one too. I fancy Vardy against a patched up Everton defence but worried they might have their eyes on the Atletico game mid-week. Will probably keep Lukaku until Saints DGWs confirmed. So Vardy > Ibra maybe this weekend. Maybe.

    Hi all, looking for some inspiration, cant see a simple transfer for this week, any thoughts?

    Jaku (Grant)
    Alonso - Valencia - Brunt (Yoshida, Robertson)
    Sanchez - Hazard - Alli - Sigurdsson (T.Carroll)
    Ibrahimovic - Carroll - Lukaku

    1x ft
    0.5itb

    Brunt and Siggy the weakest links probably, Siggy good fixtures coming though.

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

      Brunt to a Boro def

      1. Dacra
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah, was thinking that, but want to see if Chambers will be back for the double really.

        1. @fpl_phenom
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Might be back today will he? likely back for the weekend if not.... DGW is a certainty surely

      2. @fpl_phenom
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        which 1?

  30. Judas
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Any idea why McAuley went off on 55mins? Very odd

    1. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Tactical. Athough I think his senior citizens bus pass is invalid after 9PM so he had to leave early.

    2. @fpl_phenom
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Pulis ML rival had him in the fantasy
