Dugout Discussion – Saturday

After Raheem Sterling’s late, late winner earned Man City the points at Bournemouth, Saturday afternoon treats us to a quartet of 3pm encounters.

All eyes turn to St James’ Park as Javier Hernandez’s 511,000+ new owners look for the Mexican to maintain his scoring form.

The most transferred in player for Gameweek 3, the Hammers’ summer signing netted twice in last week’s loss at Southampton and is now braced for a very favourable run of fixtures, with clashes against Huddersfield, West Brom and Swansea between now and Gameweek 7.

A home encounter with Brighton also affords Watford’s man of the moment Richarlison the chance to get among the points again.

The young Brazilian has bagged a goal and assist already and was drafted in by 183,000 FPL managers after serving up 11 points away to Bournemouth last weekend.

Crystal Palace and Swansea go head-to-head at Selhurst Park as both go in search of their first goal of the season.

The Eagles’ Christian Benteke is the man most likely to do the damage – he’s been captained by 59,000 FPL managers against a side that ranked bottom for shots conceded inside the box across the first two Gameweeks.

Huddersfield budget pair Aaron Mooy and Steve Mounie will look to justify their early-season bandwagons as Southampton visit the John Smith’s Stadium.

Over 286,000 have drafted in the former on the back of his goal and assist over the first two Gameweeks.

David Wagner’s men may struggle to rack up a third straight shutout, though – Southampton were placed inside the top three for both shots and efforts inside the box in the opening two rounds of matches.

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

      daft moves - result a tad harsh, but those transfers were never a good idea

    I have 2x free transfer, I have just done KDB to Alli, now if I don't use my other transfer will I have two next GW?

    1. DantheManinaPan

      yep

      yes

    Naughton and a MBemba on my bench, awesome!

    1. FDMS All Starz
      • 8 Years

      You must have had a great defense to bench both of them

    Juve asleep.
    Conceded within the first minute.

    Thinking De Bruyne > Eriksen before the former falls tonight

    Any suggestions?

      Thinking the same...but risky

      1. trequartista
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Always is, but having already lost 0.1m on Jesus, don't really want to lose more value.
        Plus will be transferring him sometime this gw too, just not clear on who to bring in...

    2. DantheManinaPan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Seems a solid enough move to me, unless you have a pleasant way to get Sanchez in

      1. trequartista
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Cheers.

        Not sold on Arsenal yet, they have a few tough fixtures coming up as well. Plus 11.9m is very expensive

        As much as I hate picking Eriksen over Sanchez, (being an Arsenal fan) , Spurs look good, Eriksen specially.

    3. AzzaroMax99
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      I already did.

  6. Arteta
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    If only I had kept Yoshida instead of "spreading the risk" with Mr. Useless, Scott Dann. Can't wait to sell and never get him again.

    1. bojack
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Glad to know an experienced player like yourself fell for him too!

      I've got bloody Löwe in the bench 'n all.

    2. goriuanx

      Me too mate. Selling asap

    3. trequartista
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Not going with 2 Southampton defenders coz 'spreading the risk' coming back to haunt me as well..

    4. FlockofSeagulls
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      'Spreading the risk' and 'Scott Dann' should not be used in the same sentence.

      You can choose between a ban or emailing me?

  7. Junior ⚽

    5 players 4 blanks. Scott Dann and Kompany can do one! Time to get rid of one and need to get rid of Gabbi soon.

    1. bojack
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Sounds like we have the same squad!

      Probably not now, thanks to Daniels and Ritchie.

      1. Fire Chief Moe
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Are we thinking Ritchie will avoid a drop now?

    Logging off to go and get ready to watch United.

  11. goriuanx

    BT's analysis is so awful.

    1. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Analysis is awful full stop.

  12. jia you
    • 7 Years

    5 of my 11 have played and I'm on 5 points! Now that's rough!

  15. hnmfm
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    19 points from 4 players pre bonus YEEEE BOI (Only Gabbi blanked for me, thinking of doing Gabbi > Cheapie, and upgrade defense)

  16. Sánchez
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    PVA has been seriously disappointing. Never owned him before but it's up there with Gabbiadini

  17. EmreCan Hustle
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Got rid of Daniels, scores.
    Time to get rid of PvA for the greater good of the FPL managers?

  18. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Mbemba essential?

  19. Yome
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Crystal palace are awful, de boer will get sacked very soon

  20. tafrère

    Crystal Palace 0-2 Swansea :

    Swansea are a very defensive side, but considering the pricetags of all their players there are correct assets in all areas. Fabianski, Fernandez, Naughton, Fer, Ayew and Abraham are all good punts.

    Crystal Palace looks awful imo.

    1. Yome
      • 12 Years

      Carroll best 4.5

  21. Revival

    Sky team doing well today...Forster, Stephens, Yoshida, T. Smith, Ritchie.
    53 points with Lukaku (C) up next

    Very annoying having Suttner first sub and PVA been his usual useless self this season so far.
    KDB ,PVA and Gabbi are going out of my team asap.

    Using free hit chip this week
    I ditched David Silva.. So I can fit 2 good players i.e. Redmond and Antonio. Both blanked
    Mbemba and Elliot on bench

  26. Jeremy Corbyn

    Does it make sense to WC this team, because of the international break?

    Foster, Elliot
    Danilo, Davies, Jones, Suttner, Simpson
    Salah, Eriksen, Willian, Ramsey, Carrol
    Lukaku, Morata, Gabbiadini

    1.0 itb

    I would not WC in normal circumstances

  27. H-SF
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    I'll take points from Stephens and Elliot, but disappointed about KDB, Stones, Dann and Gabbiadini.

  28. Foozeball
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Darn Yoshida missed an excellent scoring opportunity AGAIN! He gets a lot of those! I hope he doesn't get dropped for Hoedt next GW. He looks like a goal waiting to happen

  29. pundit of punts

    Triple Soton defense looks tempting from gw 8 -11.

    1. Lord.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      I'm happy with my double Soton defence since GW1.
