The Dugout Discussion – Gameweek 38

The 2016/17 season comes to a close this afternoon, with all 10 Gameweek 38 matches getting underway at 3pm.

We’re spoilt for choice in terms of armband options for the final round of fixtures, with the top three players in this week’s Captain Poll – Alexis Sanchez, Harry Kane and Philippe Coutinho – are serving up their highest hauls of the season in Gameweek 37.

Kane’s four-goal blitz at the King Power takes him two ahead of his nearest challenger Romelu Lukaku for the Golden Boot, while Sanchez welcomes Everton on the back of three successive double-figure tallies.

Throw in champions Chelsea at home to relegated Sunderland (Eden Hazard and Diego Costa both start) and Man City’s trip to a decimated Watford defence and it’s fair to say that goals look very much on Sunday’s agenda.

So sit back and enjoy the frantic next couple of hours’ action – it won’t be until August 12 before domestic action comes back our way again.

    May well have turned around a massive points gap that went on for months in my ML to win it on the last day depending on where the rest of the BPS go, its that close...ahhhrrghhh

    Great finish. My rival was tearing it up, gaining every week. Held my nerve in the last 2 GW, beat his points and hoping for a top 10k finish overall as well.

    Thanks everyone, for the help, advice, disagreements and the banter...can't wait til the fixtures are announced!!!!!

    I took 3 hits to chase ML leader. If I'd have mad 0 transfers, I'd be about 39 points better off. Crazy swing, but I wouldn't have gotten the title anyway, so no regrets except jeaopardising my already poor OR. Can't wait for next season!

      (Transferred out Alli, Kane, Jesus and Monreal)

    Sane over Cesc backfired. Why couldn't they keep quiet at the end.

    Captaining Sturridge over Kane cost my mini-league

    1. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      I like risks, but they have to be calculated. Kane is Kane
