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.

    Just got in. Who has won mods and cons, chaps? Who has won overall?

    1. CostaCoffee
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Crabtree by five I think

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Mark and Ben

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 days ago

        Your team was too similar to Mark's 🙁

          All good. Could have kept Hazard, got Llorente and maybe won. Cookie crumbles.

          1. FPL Virgin
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 4 days ago

            Sensational season nonetheless. Well done.

  3. T444
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 days ago

    116 with an autosub of two points. Happy with that

  4. Jafooli
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 4 days ago

    Will you get Kane for 14m next season?

    1. Ha.
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Yes. He scores more than every 90minutes

    2. drughi
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      25 goals guarenteed plus captain material every week, yes

    3. denial
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      He'll probably be 13m I would've thought.

    4. Sailboats
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      not for 14m. If 13m, then probably yes

    5. BROOKLYN GOONER
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      14m would make it an interesting price. At 13m, everyone will have to own.

  5. Deano

    He's been pilloried from post to post this season but you've got to hand it to Mark Sutherns for what he's made of this site.

    Despite the calls to remain internal with information, let's remember this is a business opportunity he's created and he deserves every chance to commercially exploit it.

    Looking forward to 17/18.

    1. Deano
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Wow, tough crowd!

  6. TorresMagic™

    2500 points for top 10 overall.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      2454 for top 100

      1. Ephurion
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 days ago

        And top 1k and 10k?

        1. TorresMagic™

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 4 days ago

          Depends on autosubs 🙂

          1. Ephurion
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 4 days ago

            They're the reason I cannot figure it out either 😛
            Was hoping you had a neat trick 😀

              • 14 Years

      2. Nobodinho
        • 9 Years

        How about top 10k?

      3. Hakchak
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 4 days ago

        Yes made it! Thanks to Bavies and fabregas for their amazing contributions in the last 15 minutes

    2. 1Banksy
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Can't wait to hear about top 10k, think I slipped out. Was 13 safe but only 72 this week :/

      1. Ephurion
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 days ago

        If my math is correct you're on the very edge :O Good luck, man!

    3. 1Banksy
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Never got top 10k before, think it will be even harder next year, should know soon

  7. Lav
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 4 days ago

    Scorecheck?

    88 here. Could have been 94 if Bailly was off bench.

    I take it though.

      • 7 Years

      98(-4).

      102 when Bailly comes off

    6. La Roja

  8. drughi

    99 points all out without captaining Kane, pretty happy with that. At 24k will I move up the rankings ?.

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

    • 14 Years

    Well done everyone involved. Fun GW to end it.

    87 all out. Should get a little green.

  10. Lone Wolf FPL
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 days ago

    Thanks to you all guys. It has been good season. Thanks for all comments, answers etc.
    See you next season!

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

    Looks like Bavies won it for Crabtree at the death.

    He must put up a picture of Bavies in his room now.

    What a finish!

    1. denial
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Great stuff.

      Bavies on the list of 'one's that got away' for me this season.

      1. Ha.
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 days ago

        19 points in last 3 game weeks without a cleansheett

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

      Both names are Ben

      How ironic

      1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 days ago

        About as ironic as that Morissette song

  12. Hawk Eye
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 4 days ago

    Crouch hurt me... took 2 CS, but still 96 all out, and top 5K finisher

  13. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 4 days ago

    99 points. So happy! Wish I could have got 1 more point though!

  14. cushendall walls
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 4 days ago

    Amid all that scoring kante only gets 2 points..wow

  15. Distinctly Average
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 4 days ago

    First season on here taking FF seriously, 2.5k finish and won all my ML's

    A belated thank you to all contributors on the site, here's to next season!

  16. SheBangsTheDrums
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 days ago

    Looking like 91 all out. Currently in 31k. Chances of green?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      guaranteed

      1. SheBangsTheDrums
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 days ago

        Cheers TM

    2. The Man Pastore
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      yes

  17. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 4 days ago

    Looks like 88 is a decent estimate for top 100 average.

    1. Lizard Lips
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      I got 86, rank 710, surely that means top 1k or is my maths way wrong?

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 4 days ago

        Depends on autosubs. Top 1K could average higher.

        1. Lizard Lips
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 4 days ago

          Yeah. I can see me missing by 2 points, that would hurt beyond all measures. Great score and rank TM.

  18. drughi
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 4 days ago

    Good final 3-4 weeks of the season gives me hope for the next season

  19. We Will Klopp you
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 4 days ago

    Butland and Heaton are early keeper shouts without taking fixtures into account

    1. nkhoughton
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Heaton easily starting at 5m,
      Id be tempted with butland though

  20. seanie3
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 4 days ago

    Thank you hazard and kompany for helping me win my cash mini league today

    Go on the Chelsea, hazard was always going to start

  21. Lyonnais
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 4 days ago

    I'm so happy that this season is finally over!!!
    Now I really need a long break maybe even a whole year. Not sure I'll play the next season, I feel like I have a fantasy burn-out.

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

      See you in August.

      1. Lyonnais
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 4 days ago

        You're probably right 😉

  22. Rolls-Royce
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 days ago

    Points galore for everyone this week it seems

  23. Legendary!
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 4 days ago

    I lost a final game in my H2H due to Eriksen getting 1 BP and Alli dropping from 2 to 1 BP from the provisional scores. Final score 105-106. But fair play to my opponent though - he used his TC on Kane. I honestly can't begrudge that (although to be fair, if i had known that King was out I would have bought Stanislas with my FT). Totally on me for deciding not to get on Twitter or FFS to get any news to avoid further tinkering with my team. Oh well on to the next season

  24. Lav
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 4 days ago

    39k OR

    88 points. One final green?

    1. The Man Pastore
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      yes

  25. Hawk Eye
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 4 days ago

    Top of OR rank is won by 1 point with king out and stanialas coming in off the bench with 9 points
    amazing!

    1. CostaCoffee
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      5 I think because transfer reduction

  26. Toonzie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 4 days ago

    projected rank of 1195

    missed out on top 1k 🙁

    1. Rolls-Royce
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 days ago

      Cry a river maybe

  27. Lizard Lips
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 4 days ago

    Autosubs going to be a killer as so many had and played King.

  28. Rolls-Royce
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 days ago

    95 all out with Koscielny.

    Never again that pr*ck, cost me sick loads of points.

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

      Yep. Getting him over Monreal cost me about 16 points in the last 3 weeks

  29. :
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 days ago

    17/18. Stanislas at 6m (4th mid) or King at 8.5m (3rd mid)?

    Actually, will King be a mid?

  30. Taffer
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 days ago

    To those complaining about missing the Top 1k/ Top 10k - take a moment to realise how well you've done. I'm ecstatic about coming in the Top 30k after a grueling season.
