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.

    Winning goal baps for hazard added yet? Sorry, I know it's a frequently asked question...

      Oh, and a lame top of page post! It's delete for forum decorum.

    Did Hazard + Gabbi -> Fabregas + Sturridge (-4) and it sort of paid off...

    A Sturridge goal would have won me my ML

    Change of topic...

    There were 4 players short of 4milion middle of last week (all the 9s caught my eye)...

    There's now over 4.5million. Suspiciously looks like the website possibly boosting its numbers for advertisement revenue purposes?

      I noticed that when I was checking my team on Friday

      We all know most of those are ghost ships anyway though

      Some of the new teams are obviously auto-generated (full of red-flagged players)

      Others must be for single week who-gets-the-most-points Asian betting

        • 13 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Yea, i get that. But half a million?? That's a crazy amount 12.5% of all teams.

      There was defo 4.4 million players a few weeks back I remember the exact figure 4,470,000

  4. F4L

    86 points, 62k. Any chance of top 50k?

    1. Sims
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      No...small green i'd say

      1. F4L

        ah shame, KDB cost me 🙁

  5. RooneyforLife
    • 11 Years

    Are the baps fixed or will any change take place?

  6. Rate My Tome
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    As far as I can figure out after BAPS, me and my ML rival end the season with the same number of points and same number of transfers made.

    What happens then?

    1. Samwise the Brave
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Number of transfers I believe

      1. T444
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Change your team name to something starting with AA immediatley

      2. FPLEL

        Reading is tricky.

    2. Crow
      • 7 Years

      Tie? Maybe

    3. jackx13
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      I think is goals scored from players 😀

    Rough gameweek for me.

    Going into the gameweek I was leading my ML with 1 point. I scored 92 points but still lost my first spot due to koscielny's red card... bummer

    Hmm, gotta captain Kane next week right? Or should I go Sanchez? This is giving me a headache

    About to lose ML thanks to jammy 2 bonus from Vokes and 1 from Haz 🙁

    1. F4L
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

  11. Shifty

    93 (-4) after baps overall rank 91k before today red or green? And where roughly will I end up?

    1. F4L
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      80k i think

      1. THFC4LIFE

        Cheers mate not to bad for 2nd season

        1. F4L
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 10 months ago

          not bad at all pal! Great score this week as well 🙂

    If anyone feels they had a tough day take some solace in my woes.

    Pulled back 100 deficit in last 3 GWs to go into today 1pt behind.

    All was going so well till rival got Llorente, Alderwireld late goals, Ozil late assist (which also cost me Sanchez baps), Evans off his bench with a goal and possibly worst of all the jammy Cahill cleanie!

    Is it me or is that not pretty harsh? Will lose the title by 2 pts after baps 🙁

  15. They ALL have lovely bottom…
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    102 pre baps. TC on Kane and Pedro off the bench wrapped up the ML I was trailing in by 13 - looks like I'll win by about 20 now.

    300 in ML prizes + 200 from top scorer bets + 115 from today's matches = a pretty damn good day.

    Great site. Thanks for all the top advice and info as ever.

      well done pal, what bets

      1. They ALL have lovely bottom…
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Kane< Lukaku and Aguero all each way. Paddy Power pays 1/5 odds for top 6 scorers so got the place money for all 3 plus Harry's win money.

  16. Top 210 Club

    *(115-4) all out 🙁

    1. Pasqualinho
      • 14 Years

      He looked pretty cheerful on the pitch after the final whistle.
