The Dugout Discussion – Gameweek 38

5,358 Comments
Share

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.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

      8/10. Sturridge and Siggy a let down. Still to finish pretty much 10k when you take a 40pt hit is damn good.

    Chip gains throughout the season:
    Triple Captain: Aguero GW27, 27 points, (+9) gain
    All Out Attack: GW34, Maguire got 9 points, but I was going to bench Siggy (6) anyway if I didn’t play AoA, (-3) loss
    Bench Boost: GW37, Pickford (6), Yoshida (9), Stephens (8), Barnes (1), (+24) gain
    Most effective chip for me was the BB.
    Total chip net gain excluding both of the wildcards:

            For me it was the opposite.

            I got Costa after Kun's red card, then after his return from suspension, then after he scored vs. Hull after China-gate and finally after Southampton haul. He managed to disappoint me every single time.

            With Siggy I got him after his haul vs Palace for the easy run of 5-6 games. He managed 1 assist. Then sold him for the difficult fixtures, he managed 3 goals and 5 assists or sth. Then got him again for blank GW28 and he started blanking again. Then got rid of him after GW34 and voilla - he scored in 35.

      Could have been 2K finish. Fluffed it big time by swapping Costa and Kane on WC DGW36. Will annoy me for a while.

      Weird thing is I just wanted that elusive 10K finish. Was on 6K but scored 16 below avg. hopefully hang on in there.

        Congrats. That bench score is ridiculous, though.

      Got 93 this gw, happy with that.

      Since discovering FFS, (Dec/Jan) I went on a strong run to the end of the season.
      Thanks to the community of FFS and the excellent job the hosts do with the in depth scoutcasts. It helped me massively. I ended up topping my work league out of 40 people and coming 2nd in my money league (£60).

      Cheers guys

        Sah'weet!! Its good to know that picking on the general knowledge to make a more understood move
        (or not in some cases) is how we operate here.
        Glad to hear you improved since hanging around here.
        Great news to hear the community provides good moves and ideas. Next season: More, and BETTER.

      whats your points guys? I'm trying to work out the average.
      I did 102 with a carroll of the bench.
      I'm on 8.6k, hoping to stay around that area or creep up to 7k
      as i'm 22 points off the 5k mark. or so says the gargatron

      Most enjoyable result of the day.

      A second string Utd beating Palace. Shows how far ahead the Top 7 teams are of the rest.
