Dugout Discussion

Dugout Discussion – Stoke City vs Arsenal

Saturday’s action concludes at the bet365 Stadium now as Stoke go head-to-head with Arsenal in the evening kick-off.

With four of the top five captains for Double Gameweek (Diego Costa, Romelu Lukaku, Sergio Aguero and Eden Hazard) failing to find the net already, Alexis Sanchez’ 10.6% armband backers will be hoping he can build on his midweek strike at Southampton.

Indeed, with a home encounter against Sunderland also to follow in midweek, the Chilean has been triple-captained by 70,403 in the penultimate round of fixtures.

Handed a third straight league start, the Gunners’ Rob Holding was the fourth top transfer target for Double Gameweek 37 – over 100,000 FPL managers drafted in the summer signing from Bolton as a budget-friendly route into a rearguard that’s delivered three clean sheets in their previous four.

Marko Arnautovic looks the man most likely to breach the Arsenal defence. The Potters’ wide man has played a part in four of his side’s last five strikes, serving up a goal and three assists over the last four Gameweeks.

      He's a Liverpool fan so he's doing a Liverpool.

    I scored some points today with some more to come including my captain so it's useless to post anything anyway.

        FFFix is a poor website IMO. FFS much better.

          A lot of useful stuff there, but wouldn't follow too blindly their transfer suggestions and player projections.

    Sanchez goals aren't as fun when rival has him as TC.

    1. HD7
      • 7 Years

    I'm so close to breaking the 10k rank, only need Stephens or Cedric not to play

  11. Evasivo

    61pts with 16 to go 😉

    1. Evasivo

    Loving this 13 pointer from Giroud 🙂

  14. how now brown cow
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    I reckon this BB week could be my lowest bench score in months. 4 at present! Anyone else in same boat?

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

      I benched Costa Hazard Kane, so unsure

      1. how now brown cow
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Who would you have benched if you didn'the have bb? Not those 3...

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

          Albrighton Stephens Anichebe I guess

      2. My Name Is Pepu
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Would be fun getting no more returns from Hazard or probably even Costa against Watford? 🙂

    2. Arn De Gothia
      • 13 Years

      2

    70 points, 16 games to go....love a DGW BB

  16. lilmessipran

    Just logged in..Sanchez came off early..Will he start the next game or the injury looked serious?

    1. My Name Is Pepu
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      He was limping, guess Wenger didn't want to take a chance. Should start against Sunderland.

  17. walkman666
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    I know Sanchez did well today, but the huge opportunity is against awful Sunderland, at home, with top 4 on the line. Cmon Sanchez, ya gotta play!!

    1. My Name Is Pepu
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      He'll play a good supporting role to Giroud in the next game too 🙂

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

    When people say they have 14, 15 etc. Players remaning do they count players like Stephens gabbing anichebe? because they won't play

    1. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I think Stephens might play.

    2. Evasivo
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I reckon Stephens will get gametime, but agree the others won't

    3. KAPO KANE
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I'm hoping Gabby will

  19. camarozz

    11 baps for me. So lovely.

    1. Brap.

      Makes Total Recall look pedestrian

        ha

    2. Syd.

      I scrapped 10

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

    Glad I went for Courtois and Cahill over Cech and Monreal, just hoping they play vs Watford now...

  21. HVT
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Only Jesus can save us now!

    1. Evasivo
      • 13 Years

      *Sanchez (C)

  22. KAPO KANE
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Do we reckon JWP and Gabbiadini play against United? Assuming they were rested today against Boro

    When you sell Crouch to Anichebe on WC

    Who said I was bitter?

  24. Pep says
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Talking in the match analysis saying 'clever Crouch' and laughing at his handball goal is not good for the game.

    That sort of intentional cheating should incur some some of retrospective actions along with diving. Bit of a disgrace that they find cheating funny when a golfer can be retrospectively disqualified for unintentionally cheating through a completely honest mistake he may not even be aware he made.

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

      Video Refs will sort that sh*t out

    2. Leaf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      If it was a foreign player they would be going mad

      It's good ole English crouch so it's fine

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

        Was coming to say just that.

    3. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      It's up to the ref to spot it and make the call. I can see video replay on goals, too. Wouldn't slow up the game much either.

      1. Pep says
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I don't think it would because all the arguing the players do wastes just as much time.

    4. My Name Is Pepu
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Same pundits were fuming over how the David Silva goal was undeserved, crying offside blah blah and this now .. I hate selective criticism. Overpaid bunch of twaaats.

  25. Sim Simma

    Looks like Ben Crabtree will be the FPL Top Dog after tonight ... Hebknut dropping like a millstone

  26. Yome
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Why the heck did I get Welbeck instead of Giroud?

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

      Because you don't like your strikers scoring goals?

  27. Leaf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Sanchez should of got player of the year , joke that he didn't even make team of the year

    21 goals , 10 assist , which sky just said is the most goal involvement of anyone

    1. Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      For sure

  28. Viper
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    66 with Verthongen, Eriksen & Kane to round off the first round of games

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Nice.

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

      77 with Kane, Alli, Tekkers and DeGea

  29. The Overthinker

    Sanchez goal spoiled the party.

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

      No it didn't ... unless you don't own him...Oh wait

      1. The Overthinker
        • 7 Years

        Yeah Right​
