Dugout Discussion

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.

    Kompany 7.8PPG in the last 7 gameweeks, what a legend.

      His points are looking nice on my bench!

      1. Deeney-is-a-god
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Why did you bench him?

    2. Lizard Lips

      Selected Kos last minute. That's killed me.

    Batshuayi getting full bonus is going to cost me my ML. I needed Haasard on 3.

      Oh dear.

    2. Moose™

  5. Moose™

    6 years, 10 months ago

    That Fabregas assist, costing me my ML playoff. Sad. 🙁

    1. Sarin
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Are you sure BAPS won't do some jiggery-pokery. I see Its between Cout-Lallana and Fab-Hazard.

      Anyways what an end to season..

      1. Moose™
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        That Otamendi + Willy CS won you. Gratz Bro. 😀

        P/s: In semi, you beat my friend. So, you are our true rivak 😀

        1. Sarin
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 10 months ago

          Oops. That was insane GW as well.. 1 point diff. Well played guys...
          Lets play it next season. 🙂 my twitter handle gsarin1980

  6. F4L
    • 9 Years

    (K)DB had such promise after the first 30, arghhhhhh

  7. Hect.OR 98th
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Who won FPL? Uwais at the last minute with Fabs?

    1. pundit of punts
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Would have won without the assist as well.

    2. arndff_
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Nope, Crabtree beat him

  8. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    78 points pre baps, mini league leader on 48

  9. UnitedFan
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Fabregas and Sane as differentials paid off. As did Kos > Matip for a hit 😎

  10. pundit of punts
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Uwais Ahmed wins FPL.

    1. Bartowski
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Have you factored in that he took a hit?

    2. SM001
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      No. He took a -4. His nearest rival is 4 behind and he has Stanislas to replace King.

  11. The Red Devil

    Won both my MLs

    1. Moose™
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

  12. Dreams
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Which club will Alexis and Ozil go to?

    1. Brap.
      • 7 Years

      Spearmint Rhino

  13. Tramp
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Knowing the josh king news meant I went for siggy instead of llorente. Cost me a mini-league victory. Cant win them all.

  14. general_franco
    • 8 Years

    Looks like I've won my ML by making up a 100 pt deficit in the last 5 GWs. Couldn't have done it without the help of everyone on here. Thanks to all!

  15. EDEN THE MAN
    • 7 Years

  19. Ravager
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Thank you all for the help this season! Screwed up in terms of my overall rank but secured both of my MLs in the last 5 weeks. This forum still comes in clutch.

  20. RÏɠBY
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    my fault for switching to alexis last minute
    really thought he'd graft even if to put up his price for the summer exit

  21. Ambu

    Saved my triple capt for this week. Put it on Kane ..... cheesy smile

    7. Kevtheotter
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      112 with current baps. What a way to end the season with 295 points in the last 2 weeks!

      Thanks for all the help and banter lads

    8. Big_Bear
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      I think I've won my ML by 2 points. Had a 37 point lead going to this gameweek and think I've just held on............

    9. Tshelby
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Seems like a score of 85 isn't enough for a green arrow around OR 100K? Or am I wrong?

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Shouldn't move much.

    10. Pedaso Pirates
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Thanks to this website I changed King just before the deadline. And the stubbornness of my ML rival for not picking Harry. 82 points before the bonus. Champions!

      1. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        When was King flagged?

    11. Lizard Lips
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Projected rank 1100 from 710 after 84 post BAPs. Literally looking like Aguero missing Sanes chance or forgetting Caballero over Cech has cost me top 1k. Feel sick.

      1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…

        6 years, 10 months ago

        See you on the next page

      Congrats to a great season.... lessons learned and noted...top 50K... next year shooting higher .... Au Revoir !!!

      Sorry for being late to the party - but I heard the first Fabs assist was controversial.

      Likely to keep it?

      1. Hakchak
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Already given on fpl twitter

        1. Phillips
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 10 months ago

          Yeah I've seen, but I've also known them to be removed later. Was it actually an assist?
