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.

      I thought it took that into account before the subs?

        Apparently not, mine just shifted down 2k

      Any way of seeing snapshots of your minileagues? Like seeing how it looked after each individual gameweek?

      1. Bubz
        • 10 Years

        No

          Damn, that'd be a nice feature to implement. Can't imagine it would be that tricky for them.

        Oh I'd love to see that. I chased rival down from 240 pts behind to 25 pt win today. Can't believe it actually. Had no hope it seemed.

      When was king news out this morn?? I was doing some one a favour and at two mins past 2 I realized he was out. And my mate in ML warned me on watsapp 15mins before deadline and missed that too. Could have been costly ..

        Broke just after 1pm. Luckily hadn't made my transfers by that point.

        Now thats a MATE! I wish I had realized, I would of warned a mate of mine in our minileague, he lost his last important H2H because of King.

      Makes me sick.

      1. diesel001

        I think the FPL Show is excellent. Lots of good information in a bitesize 30 mins.

        1. Jafooli
          • 12 Years

          Who has a spare 30mins every week to waste of FPL?

            Forward past the rubbish bits and you can do it in 15 mins

          Hi Diesel,
          sorry i'm missing out on this knowledge.
          What is it on the internet or UK tv?
          I'm in spain but can tune into some live uk channels using the internet.
          Where do i get to see these 30 minute wonders?

          1. diesel001
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 11 months ago

            Go to 'The Scout' page on the FPL website. Generally they put up two 15 minute clips on the Friday each GW. FPL Show Pt 1 and Pt 2.

              Oh crikey! How did I ever miss that.. Mehh!!
              Thanks I'll keep an eye out for that for next season.
              I supposed it was a sky sports program.

      It may just be that Bale doesn't get in Madrids strongest team anymore.. This Isco chap is phenomenal

          Haven't seen enough of him but always liked Isco a lot and he is on the top of his game right now.. absolutely sensational

          Bale back to the PL could well be on the cards

      2. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ

          Can't even begin to think about potential targets or anything else until after the final on Wed mate

            • 13 Years
            6 years, 11 months ago

            Does Wednesday affect your transfer targets? You guys have signed di Maria & Ibra without CL if I'm not mistaken

            1. KingNidge
              • 8 Years
              6 years, 11 months ago

              I meant more from a personal stand point as i don't remember a game as important and as much hinging on it as this EL final but to an extent i think it does.. if we miss out it's no longer a one off like we could have said previously imo.. Griezmann for examplewouldn't entertain us even for 300k a week i don't think

      • 7 Years

      Thanks to all those who suggested that I kept Pedro and Eriksen. Even though the replacement would have been Sane or Coutinho the hit wouldn't have been worth it.
      Pedrito was benched but he came through big in the end

      Not too happy about Giroud though

      1. ItOnlyTook9Years
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        I failed with giroud too, swayed by last season's hat trick

        1. PvA
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          Yeah he has a good record vs Everton I think and his strength would've been useful against Jagiela and Williams

          I believe FPL last year started on the next Monday 1 month before the season started, so it could be the 17th this year, just a guess though
