Dugout Discussion

Dugout Discussion – Saturday

With the Spurs stroll providing a healthy set of early returns, we now roll on with a collection of five afternoon kick-offs.

Harry Kane’s double figure return puts the onus on Romelu Lukaku to match or even better his Golden Boot rival.

The Everton striker will face a Burnley today, having scored in seven successive Goodison Park matches. He’s backed by 892,000+ (20.2%) with the captaincy – the top pick in Gameweek 33 – including 60 of the top 100 Fantasy Premier League managers.

Elsewhere, the Fantasy interest is somewhat limited, although Crystal Palace’s Selhurst Park meeting with Leicester City offers us another opportunity to scout their assets ahead of the Gameweek 34 double. Wilfried Zaha is perhaps the key target on show – he’s been brought in by 188,000 ahead of today’s clash, second only to Kane.

Gylfi Sigurdsson has another chance to halt his alarming decline when Swansea City travel to Watford. Surely a must-win clash for the Swans, Sigurdsson will be seeking his first return for four Gameweeks having lost 121,000+ owners this week, only Chelsea’s Diego Costa has suffered greater sales.

Finally, Stoke City take on Hull City at the bet365 stadium in a fixture which is unlikely to impact our tallies, while Sunderland host West Ham at the Stadium of Light, with Jermain Defoe seeking to re-ignite his goalscoring form and Andy Carroll back to lead the line for the Hammers.

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

    4. nkhoughton
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

    5. Viprin
      • 8 Years

    6. fedolefan

    2. Hotdogs for Tea

  7. Sterling is £11Mill..…

    Whos the worst London club, West Ham or Arsenal?

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Millwall

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

      Hackney Cabbies FC

    3. nkhoughton
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I'm sure both are better than millwall

    4. BRFC1883

      Check the league table

    5. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      7 years, 1 month ago

      Spurs

    6. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️

      Fake Taxi FC

    7. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      orient?

  8. Lizard Lips
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Resisted Eriksen Kun and Barnes to Zaha Benteke Kane (c) -8

    Everytime I resist it goes wrong, everytime I go for it, it backfires.

    1. Ravager
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Still don't know what Kun might bring...

    2. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Would've only broken even

    3. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      you've not mentioned this before.
      why not?

  9. diesel001

    Jagielka (31)
    Lukaku (30)
    Williams (30)
    Baines (29)
    Vokes (28)
    Barkley (25)

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

      For Lukaku depends of shots on and off target and dispossessions.

    2. The Tinkerman
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Jagielka (31)
      Baines (30)
      Lukaku (30)
      Williams (30)

      It changes every minute. Baines ended well, created a good chance, could climb further.

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

    Hard to call Lukaku baps - could be anywhere between 0 and 3

    Given his high EO I tend to think he'll get at least 2

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      nice view

          I see the 5k workout is really beginning to have an effect, Numb.

  11. alangreat
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Zaha or Townsend?

    Townsend on some set pieces and looks a better passer;
    Zaha is more physical and direct....thoughts?

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I may double up...

      1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I wouldn't.

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

      Close one. Both are on form.

    3. Vlad Tepes
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Same problem.

      Gonna do Sigurdsson ---> Zaha/Townsend

      Dont know which one to pick....

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

    Kane LOLs @ Kaku

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

    Just had a look at the stats

    Lukaku will 100% get 0 baps

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

      Ye, he'll be doing well to get 1.

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

        Absolutely no chance

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

          I don't think you understand what I'm saying to you right now.

  16. Dušan Citizen
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Only 45 (-4, after bonus) with Ibra and Sanchez to go.

    Pretty bad.

    1. Digital-Real
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      a Sanchez goal and Ibra goal or assist and that score wouldn't be so bad

  17. Fowler23

    7 years, 1 month ago

    Stones injured or rested? Have Fuchs coming in for him.

    1. Mark-O
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Lucky u

      Rested

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Just rubbish

  18. Pigeon
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Townsend or Zaha in place of Siggy? Tempted to go Zaha but feel like Townsend will get more points

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

      I'm looking at Walcott instead. Zaha was poop today.

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

        Hmm Walcott seems a good choice for Sanchez replacement still thinking of getting a palace player tho

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

      Zaha is far more consistent. Townshend may outscore him but highly unlikely

      1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        zaha is not consistent himself

    3. insertcomedyname
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Wrestling with the same choice. Will probably end up following the crowd and go for Zaha

  19. JÆKS ⭐
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    If Negredo does well, I might sell Crouch for him with my FT, ignore Lukaku to Ibra and bench Siggy to play 343

  20. We Will Klopp you
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    The armband is not leaving Kane's shoulder for the rest of the season, he is far too explosive

    1. Bubz
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      He doesnt have a DGW next week though

    2. Team Cruel

  26. French Gooner

    Ibra Captain on 2 games or Kane away to Palace ?

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Play the percentages.

    2. Tansey
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Lukaku

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

      Ibra. Not worth the risk. Owning Kane will be enough next GW.
