Dugout Discussion

Dugout Discussion – Saturday

After Man City edged past Leicester at the Etihad, we now focus our attentions on a trio of 3pm encounters.

Bournemouth’s in-form Josh King collides with a Burnley defence that’s conceded at least twice in three of their last four league matches.

Owned by 19% of FPL managers, the Norwegian has racked up 11 goals and a pair of assists in the previous 13 Gameweeks to climb into eighth spot in the midfield standings.

Sunderland play the first match of their Double Gameweek 37 as Swansea City make their way to Wearside.

In what may well be his final home outing for the Black Cats, Jermain Defoe has been captained by just over 44,000 FPL managers, with a midweek trip to the Emirates also on his agenda.

With their survival on the line, Gylfi Sigurdsson and Fernando Llorente will be vital for the Swans today.

Still owned by 10% of FPL managers, the Icelandic international has a goal and assist in his previous three, while Llorente was snapped up by almost 44,000 new owners after netting against Stoke and Everton over the same period.

Southampton also get the first of their Double Gameweek 37 matches underway. Jack Stephens owners are left disappointed as he drops to the bench, while Manolo Gabbiadini misses out altogether as Claude Puel attempts to improve a run that has seen the Saints fail to score in four of their last five league outings.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Was a few discussions about how Arsenal would line up and alot people called it right. Holding keeps his place, Gibbs gets dropped, Kosc Mustafi and Holding in central defence and Monreal pushes out to the wing.
    Getting Gibbs was a very risky decision based on the information so you can't really complain

    Cech, Monreal and Sanchez owner, but as a Liverpool fan I will be cheering on Stoke later on.
    Don't beg me to change my mind.

      Siggy not having anything to play for next GW would be another disaster

        They were all traps.

      Bring Stephens on with your final sub Puel, you little scrote.

        I bought him on for a hit, gotta love that saints def triple up...

        1. The Tinkerman
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          I got Holgate as part of a hit to get Jesus. Holgate, Gabbiadini, Yoshida bench boost.

          BB in any of the last three weeks would have got me at least double figures. 25 points in GW35. I'd take 10 at the moment.

        Boro scored 2 goals at home to City. What did you expect? Owner were lucky to get clean sheet against Pool so you can't really conplain

        You can't delete the game as it's a website.

    • Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      I honestly feel bad for Hull, totally unsportsmanlike behaviour from Sunderland, hope they are relegated again next season, and the one after that too...

    • HamezMace
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Yes!
      Robben keeping my accumulator alive in the 95th minute!

    • Ha.
      • 8 Years

    • diesel001
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      All this DGW moaning. It may not be as good as many hoped (so far at least), but Sanchez is about to play Stoke and Sunderland. Long way to go.

      1. Ravager
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Really need him to do something.

      2. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        I am happy with it but ... Stephens, Holgate, Anichebe, Gabbiadini, JWP Gibbs/Holding etc etc - what did people expect ?

      3. Debauchy
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Yeah , but if not Cpt means very little
