Dugout Discussion

Dugout Discussion – Southampton vs Man City

Saturday’s events end at St Mary’s with Manchester City the visitors to Southampton.

From a Fantasy perspective, it will be the Saints under scrutiny given that they offer us a pair of double Gameweeks to come.

Manolo Gabbiadini’s display will be the main focus with the Italian striker making his return from a groin problem after missing the last three Gameweek outings. Gabbiadini has scored four goals in his first three outings prior to the setback at Spurs in Gameweek 29.

The likes of Dusan Tadic and Nathan Redmond will also be assessed, while Maya Yoshida and Jack Stephens are also set to be key transfer targets in the coming weeks ahead of the first double-header in Gameweek 36.

For City, Sergio Aguero goes into this evening’s contest backed by 417,000 (9.4%) with the armband having scored in his last four Gameweek starts. John Stones misses out the visitors with Pep Guardiola confirming an injury pre-match.

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

    Awful from Kompany there. So sad. 🙁 Was one of the greats.

      Like wenger 😉

        Exactly. But I bet Kompany won't still be playing centre back in 10 years time. 😆

          7 years, 11 days ago

          Pep will have converted him to a wing back by then

  2. Jafooli

    Carroll & McAuley > Ibra (TC) & Chambers for a hit?

  3. Rock Papiss Cissès
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 11 days ago

    48 with Ibra, Hazard, Valencia and Gibson left. Rank is 4k. Red arrow, no?

      Depends on this game.

      1. Rock Papiss Cissès
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 11 days ago

        Hope Aguero stays quiet, unlikely as it's looking

    2. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Nah

  4. HD7
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 11 days ago

    What is the best transfer for free:

    1) Kaku to Ibra (West ham though)
    2) Siggy to ... (has a nice fixture though)
    3)Baines to a Boro defender (Davies)

    Your suggestions please 🙂

    1. Hect.OR 98th
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 11 days ago

      3. Boring, but the best of those

    2. Pierce34
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 days ago

      2 if you don't have Zaha (or even Townsend).

      1. HD7
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 11 days ago

        Their fixtures though...

    1. Jafooli
      • 12 Years

      Young Harrison Ford?

      1. Jafooli
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 11 days ago

        So maybe one of the Raiders films or Early Star Wars?

      2. Wilshere Knowledge
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 11 days ago

        I don't think either of them are gay.

      Siggy > King?

      1. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 11 days ago

        I am doing this.

      3. HazardAGuess
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 11 days ago

        Looks like my midfield & I'm looking to do the same.

        (Sanchez / Alli / [King] / Zaha / de Roon)

        • 12 Years
        7 years, 11 days ago

          • 12 Years

      Was Siggy and Swansea crap again?

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 11 days ago

        Away from home they normally are.

    11. manu4life99
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 11 days ago

      Is Stephens worth getting as a cheap Soton def for the upcoming fixtures?

      1. WVA
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 11 days ago

        Yes

    12. Rainer

      Sane for DGW City coverage.

      1. Sim Simma

        yes for now but if jesus comes back into the fold then i will get him but i doubt pep would risk rushing him back

    13. Kaneyonero
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 11 days ago

      Just aguero goal will do with maybe sane and .sterling ogs

      1. Forza Papac
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 11 days ago

        Sterling's not on the pitch

        1. DA Minnion (Former great)
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 11 days ago

          Unfortunately.

    14. the snazzy viking
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 11 days ago

      For GW34 + 35:

      A) Foster -> Valdes
      B) Siggy -> Zaha/Townsend
      C) Both for -4

      1. jason_ni
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 11 days ago

        Same dilemma.. not sure which is best.. have jaku as reserve gk, and siggy really starting to try my patience

        1. the snazzy viking
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 11 days ago

          thinking of sticking to my gut and keeping Siggy for one more week because I don't fancy the Palace DGW fixtures but then he has blanked for the last 5 GW's

      What is Bravos deal? Does he mean to fumble around with the ball so much?

    18. Differentiator
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 days ago

      Brunt -> Chambers(? any other non-Gibson defs who are nailed and not Valdes?)
      Lukaku -> Ibra

      2FTs

      Y/N?

    19. A Betting Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Am I mad to be seriously considering captaining Gibson next gameweek?

      1. Pigeon
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 11 days ago

        probably

      2. the snazzy viking
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 11 days ago

        Not at all. I remember nearly captaining Pieters before when he got 14 points in the last DGW so if you don't have Ibra go for it

      3. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights

      I think southampton will win this...wish i played Yoshida

    21. Weeb Kakashi
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 days ago

      Hows this
      Might sound boring!

      Heaton+ Brunt> De Gea + Gibson (-4)??

      Wildcard probably in Gw 36
      De Gea has SWA after the Dgw
      So might pay off in two weeks!
      Thoughts??

      1. the snazzy viking
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 11 days ago

        nah just do Brunt -> Gibson keep Heaton

    22. TooDifficuIt

        I've got Cabellero and DDG. Need to start thinking of replacements for one, if not both. No wildcard. I'm thinking Cech and/or Schmeichel. Wildcard gone. Will BB in 37. Any other decent shouts?

            Easy 30 x 2

          2. greghammer95
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 11 days ago

            If he had started today then still no. Not a great dgw and he's got to play his way back into the team.

            1. Rainer
              • 7 Years
              7 years, 11 days ago

              He'll start from now. Schlupp was ruined for Vardys goal.

          City a bit off today.

        4. thevikings
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 11 days ago

          Zaha or Townsend for the DGW?

          1. Here's Tom with the We…
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 11 days ago

            Getting both I think

          2. Pep says
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 11 days ago

            I like Townsend because everyone will pick Zaha. Townsend creates alot more chances but Zaha is a classier act.

            Think Coleman/Baines and Eriksen/Alli

        5. Lizard Lips

          Kun and City look woeful.
