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.

    Was at 700k OR in GW 24 and was having a crap year, now at 60k with 90 points pre-baps this week, and winning all my leagues because I listen to the people on here who contribute, also the articles, scoutcast etc.. Definitely getting a subscription next year.

    Such a good moment thanks all of you legends

    How many total points needed for top 10k?

  4. JÆKS ⭐
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 hours ago

    Ranked somewhere around 1080, and scoring 94 points after bonus, chances of getting inside the top 1000?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years

      high

      1. JÆKS ⭐
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 hours ago

        Hope so! according to fantasy football fix, it will only bring me up to 1033

      2. Moose™
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 4 hours ago

        2272 points enough for 20k TM?

          No idea.

    2. Sims

      should just about make it

  5. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 hours ago

    Think score 105 post -4 hit and baps. Presently 6,055 overall. Do you think that might get into top 5K?

    1. Sims
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 hours ago

      yes

    2. jam
      • 14 Years

            Cheers mate. Just noticed it'd updated. Great season. More than great actually, well done!

              Cheers. Negredo, Llorente and Gabbi hurt towards the end.

      1. borat

        crabtree winning by 2 pts as of now. uwais taking a hit lost him fpl

        1. acidicleo
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 4 hours ago

          depends on who he shipped out for who..

          1. borat
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 4 hours ago

            uwais removed alli and sane for a hit to coutinho and lallana. he would have been on same points as crabtree if done no transfres

        2. Hect.OR 98th
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 4 hours ago

          Woah. Credit to him for having a go at it with a hit, though.

        3. goonerdoz
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 4 hours ago

          Looks like Crabs wins it with Junior off the bench for King!

      2. Bruno Bruno!!
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 hours ago

        74 after bonus and still a small rise will finish aroound 75k

        1. Sims
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 4 hours ago

          no green arrows for 74 inside top 100k i think

      3. the snazzy viking
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 hours ago

        Chelsea only dropping 21 points all season

      4. Evs
        • Has Moderation Rights

        The Lorente transfer was pleasing, bloody Gabbi

          Nice Evs, 4-4.

          Same here. Real last minute job that I tend to end up regretting.

        3. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 4 hours ago

          He's a massive troll because he didn't score goals when people wanted him to . I can't tell the difference between being out of form and being a troll tbh

      5. acidicleo
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 hours ago

        13 K OR now...
        this week 94 + baps (14 if it stay as it is now)

        Any remote chance of breaking into 10K?

        1. Sailboats
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 4 hours ago

          low chance imo

        2. Eddie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 4 hours ago

          Yeah?

      6. Sailboats
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 hours ago

        last minute captaincy switch from Kane > Sanchez cost me my top 10k spot. Now I have to settle for top 15k

        GG see you ladies next season

        1. nkhoughton
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 4 hours ago

          I did the same but with couts over Alexis

      7. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 hours ago

        Ville Ronka misses out on Top 10k

        1. Sailboats
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 4 hours ago

          he doesn't deserve to be top 10k this season. He made some very dodgy decisions past few gameweeks.

          1. diesel001
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 4 hours ago

            he hasn't had the team value. That is a lesson we all need to take forward IMO. Being able to have Sanchez, Kane, Jesus etc. is a big thing.

            1. Forever In Our Shadow
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        1. Garlana
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 4 hours ago

          Your link shows that you captained Kane.

        2. Gussy
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 4 hours ago

          I did that as well. He was my second lowest scorer!

      9. Bruno Bruno!!
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 hours ago

        TC Alonso Fail should have put it on Kane

        1. GREEN IS GOOD
          • 7 Years

        Touch and go vs Ville Ronke. Think he beats me with a couple of points 🙁

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights

              • 14 Years
              7 years, 4 hours ago

              Even saved a transfer and didn't bother with Kane.

              1. Team Cruel
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 8 Years
                7 years, 4 hours ago

                He threw in the towel when he WC'd and saw his team value imo 😆

                Beat Ronka last year, destroyed him this year--may need to set my sights on loftier targets. Watch out, TM! 🙂

      11. pundit of punts
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 4 hours ago

        Uwais - 92
        Crabtree - 89

        I think even with bap adjustments surely Uwais has won it.

        1. Hect.OR 98th
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 4 hours ago

          Are you sure? I think it could go either way.

          1. Hect.OR 98th
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 4 hours ago

            There's two transfers in it if there's a tie. In Uwais' favour.

        2. La Roja
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 4 hours ago

          Uwais had -4 though

        3. Annie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 4 hours ago

          Crabtree has Stanislas off the bench...

        4. borat
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 4 hours ago

          stanislas off the bench for 9 pts for crabtree

        5. InSaneMan-e
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 4 hours ago

          Are you taking the -4 and Stan on bench into account?
          Looks like Crabtree winning it, no?

          1. Debauchy
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 4 hours ago

            Yeb it's a Crab fest I think

        6. goonerdoz
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 4 hours ago

          Crabs wins it with Junior off the bench!

        7. fedolefan
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 4 hours ago

          Crabtree has won it easily i think

        1. Sims
          • 7 Years

          there is a chance. average not as high as some are making it out to be

          1. Sims
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 4 hours ago

            87 at the mo. top 1k average will be slightly higher id presume. i think u will make it

          I love this game sometimes. Just pipped my rival to stop spot in my mini league today, after a tough few weeks. Thanks to everyone here, the advice and group knowledge has made all the difference.

          Don't know how I'm going to procrastinate now though.

          Bye bye Barkley!

          Koeman "Barkley was one of the players who didn't show productivity today. We need to change, we need to find players with productivity"

          1. diesel001
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 4 hours ago

            Above average player, but not as good as he thinks. Belongs at somewhere like Stoke IMO.

            1. Viper
              • 14 Years
              7 years, 4 hours ago

              Or Everton?

                • 14 Years

                Not as a CAM anyways.

                • 7 Years
                7 years, 4 hours ago

                Not good enough for where Everton are aiming IMO. Expecting quite a few ins and outs at Everton with Moshiri at the helm now.

              • 10 Years
              7 years, 4 hours ago

              Maybe Swans will buy Barkley for £30M+Siggy?

          3. fedolefan
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 4 hours ago

            That is pathetic from Koeman. Just sell him, why call him out in the press also.

            1. Camp No No
              • 10 Years
              7 years, 4 hours ago

              Agreed. If you're going to sell a player, don't downplay him publicly, that only brings the price lower.

              On the other hand, if he is going to keep Barkley, it can be good to call him out publicly for his lack of productivity, whatever Koeman means by it.

            • 12 Years
