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

    Llorente to Gabby a few weeks back was one of my worst ever FPL transfers. Damn you double GW's!

      Same here. Thinking about Gabbi > Llorente for the final week if Swans still need a win to be safe.

    I hope Ozil outscores Sanchez again. If you don't agree then we're enemies for the next couple of hours 👿

          • 11 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah but continuous laughing at others gets to be a bit much
          Just cool it a little , and all good

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

      7 years, 1 month ago

      the whinging on here today has been first class.

      never seen anything like it. also a certain degree of blinkered entitlement creeping in now where people feel that whatever risky moves they must pay off and if they dont its everyones fault but theirs.

      I got stephens for the double, he got rested as he has played a lot of matches. he will play against united.

      1. vectorman
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I have mixed emotions about it Boc, I go from being major pee'd off to laughing about it... But that's just what I'm like 😀

      I'm paying the price for bringing Gibbs in too early this week when it wasn't clear if he would stay in the side - gonna have to hope Stoke score and he plays the next game, but it wasn't an inspired transfer
