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.

    1283 finish, personal best and delighted! it's been a tough season with no obvious captaincy choices many weeks. more interesting than other years as you kept having to change the team and key players. looking forward to next season!

    Congratulations to everyone who have finished the game on a high and also with best OR. The level here is great. Love my time over here. Always a stress burster

    Definitely a lot to learn . Loved my time here. Lots of good people.
    Personal best moment would be around gw33 when i was all down. Lost and wanted to quit as things were not going in my way - the transfers, the captain , team selection everything was so poor. There were many people who talked to me and gave me that push, that motivation and support to keep my heads up and think about the coming gameweeks.
    Thank you to for replying and making me feel good.

    Looking forward​ to improve and have a better rank next season .

    Target achieved. 9671.
    Was hovering inside 100k for most of the season.GW 35 wildcard and 370 points in last three weeks made it happen.

    Thanks all !

    Back then I didn't think I'd get anywhere near touching distance of the top 10k.
    My highest GW rank ever as well! 2,239 😆

    Gw38 was my highest Gameweek rank of the season (280) taking me to my highest overall rank of the season!

    Whilst OR 150k isn't spectacular, considering I've been the worse side of 1m all season, I'm very happy with 150k!

    I've been just behind in my ML for 37/38 weeks. While I feel for him (a bit) I'm pretty sure I've just pipped my main rival who has lead from start to finish.

    What time do the league tables update so I can send him a screenshot?!
