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.

    131k? Fantasy Football Fix is awful at predicting ranks. Still, from being 1.5m in GW25 it's been a really decent end of the season since joining Fantasy Football Scout in GW25

        What Karma?

        Sharing your good score repeatedly is not criminal.

        • 11 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Yeah made it dude! Roy did too. You missed by a short head, Kos after betraying us in DGW really did us wrong today. Next season top 1 and 2 for us I sense it! 🙂

    10,325 - bit gutted about that really. Was 48k in GW 35 so didn't think I had a chance but to get so close is annoying! Was hoping for three consecutive seasons in the top 10k.

  11. TheOneAndOnly
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    21k after 310points in the last 2weeks. Gotta be happy, was 940k in GW24

  12. HVT
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    3.7k in the end - not too bad, Vert happy to turn it around in the end.
    That's 4 finishes now 3.7k and under
    (3.7/1.5/1.5/700)

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

    Joined the top 1k club! Buzzing. Spare a though for Viper who missed by 34 places and Kos hurt him so bad on WC and then got a red today which cost him his place.

    Hope others are pleased with their ranks 🙂

    If anybody needed a reminder of how good this community is, look no further than how the King injury news spread this lunchtime and how many made moves to an alternative compared to other players.

    That's just one example on its simplest form.

    1. FALCAO & MOU

    Wohoo..6k rank. First time ever to finish inside the top 10k

  29. Az
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Finished up 59,151 in a season which I personally have found the trickiest all all of the years I've played fpl. Actually my highest overall rank of the season and meets my targets of a few weeks ago of a solid 100k finish.

    My own fpl team aside, it has been my first year of being a mod and I have loved the discussions on here. It's been my maiden year of being on the scout cast, which has just been brilliant. Hoping to be on it regularly next year too 🙂

    Thanks all, hope the season was kind and you ended up where you wanted to be rank wise and some of you ended up with some £££. I will be paying the cash winners out of my leagues over the next few days.
