Dugout Discussion – Sunday – Part Two

The second instalment to Sunday’s slice of Premier League action brings Gameweek 3 to a close with matches at Anfield and Wembley Stadium.

The attention of Fantasy managers will be pulled in different directions, with key assets on show in both contests.

After the “failings” of Romelu Lukaku, Paul Pogba and Sergio Aguero on Saturday, we now look to see if Harry Kane can step up.

Kane is backed 741,000+ (16.1%) ahead of the “home” encounter with Burnley as he bids to end a run of two single point returns and score his first competitive career goal in August.

Should he succeed, it would doubtless have a major impact on rankings and transfer activity over the international break.

Equally, events at Anfield could have a major effect on our thinking leading up to Gameweek 4.

Liverpool boast an array of attacking talent, including the electric Sadio Mane, who lines up in tandem with the in-form Roberto Firmino and Mo Salah.

But Arsenal have their own riches on show, with all eyes on the performance of Alexis Sanchez.

He returns to the Gunners’ line-up as Alexandre Lacazette suprisingly drops to the bench as Danny Welbeck leads the attack in a Arsenal’s 3-4-2-1.

Like Kane, should Sanchez convince and return points this afternoon, the impact on the FPL market would be substantial.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    I still don't get why the Ox is in demand. He's been awful this season

      Just this season?

      1. F4L
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        never stood out in previous seasons as well

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

          Flashes of potential but generally a really poor player.

    Now we have 2 weeks of Kane bashing, lovely

      Correction you have 2 weeks of Kane price drops, the bashing comes later.

        A golden opportunity to stick it to the masses of Lukaku captainers.

    Trippier, Cedric, Jones
    Salah, Pogba, Alli, Richarlison

    1. Champione

      Davies looks very good

      1. thepeen555
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        But with rose due back and the new chap coming in - think He and trips will be out

      2. Mind över Mata
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years

        Davies or Trippier? Which to go for?

        1. Lone Wolf
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Wait IB nd we will get the answer

    2. mr messi
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Jones?

  7. FPLMarc
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Decided to wildcard after 2 awful weeks..... no more De Bruyne, Kane, Ward Prowse, Mounie or Ramsey.

    My logic with Kane is that he WILL get 20+ goals this season - easily - but so will Firmino and Morata and all that extra money can go into midfield.

    Currently thinking:
    Lloris, Elliot
    Jones, Monreal, Yoshida, Holgate/Lejeune/Naughton, 3.9 def
    Alli, Mane, Salah, Mooy, Carroll
    Lukaku, Morata, Chicharito

    Would you go:
    a) Firmino/Mkhitaryan/8m
    b) Morata/Salah/Mooy?

    1. marquinhos
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      a

    2. Lone Wolf
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      A

    Let's take a little break from FPL, at least a day off, because GoT's season finale is coming in a few hours.

    You are more than excited, aren't you?

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years

      I am Heisenberg, I am!

    2. Jigger & Pony

    3. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy

      one doesnt ever break from fpl.

  9. Lone Wolf
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    2FT. Jesus, Chica > Morata, Firmino but...0,1 off!!!
    Worth downgrading Ake and do it for a hit?

  10. PlayPercentage
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Is Pedro likely to get plenty of game time over the next few games?

    1. Lone Wolf
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Defo no. Big risk

      1. PlayPercentage
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Any recommended replacement in a similar price bracket?

        1. Lone Wolf
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          8mil? Manu mids but theyre a bit over so maybe Silva ot cheaper Ritchie

  11. marquinhos
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Evening all, what are your plans for Kane?

    1. Lone Wolf
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      1. thepeen555
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah kola is good but wenger is an arse and will waste him

    2. Lone Wolf
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      No need so keep. May be usefull later. First season I can say that after 3 weeks

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

      Tempted!

  13. F4L
    • 9 Years

    What would people consider a good OR at this point in the season?

    1. Nascimento
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      If you're not 1st you're last

    2. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Anything in the top 1m IMO. You are well placed and a few good GWs would get you flying very quickly. If you are WC this week it is a very important WC IMO

      1. F4L
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        sat at 292k. Decent enough start I suppose 🙂

    3. Eton Rifles
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      700k

    4. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Top 2 mill is fine...I was worse off this time last yr and got under 56k.

    5. Jigger & Pony
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      500k

    6. PDM TOP 1,000 any Season Le…
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Would've thought sub 100k ......

  14. Pooodle
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Anything obvious to do here or could I save a transfer? 0.5m ITB.

    De Gea
    Stephens, Dawson, Suttner
    Alli, Eriksen, Willian, Carroll
    Lukaku, Jesus, Firmino

    Elliot, Mooy, Ake, Long

  15. ooooo
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Is Willian nailed anymore?

    1. thepeen555
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      No

    2. Drip Doctor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Difficult to say. He played well today and in general, has been better than Pedro this season.

    3. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Everyone assumes he'll lose his place to Haz, Im not so sure. I think a Willian/Pedro both wind up with the same minutes this yr.

    4. Nascimento
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      No

  16. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Do auto-subs usually take this long?

    Still waiting for TCarroll's 3 points to come in for Lukaku.

    1. Postman Ty
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Lukaku played...

      1. thepeen555
        • 7 Years

        Yeah this and poorly

    Which team? Tempted to wildcard

    Current (A);

    Foster
    Bertrand Jones Dunk
    Pogba Mane JWP Eriksen
    Kane Lukaku Mounie

    Subs; Myhill Ake TCarroll Hunemeier

    B (WC team);

    Foster
    Bertrand Jones 4.4

    1. marquinhos

      I like B better

      1. Danstoke82

        Cheers!

  18. Fred54

    200K OR increase to.1.4M.for scoring just above average.

    This is gonna be a brutal season.

    This time last year I was 100K OR.

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

      dropped to 2,5M here. Happy days ( 38 )

    2. Nascimento
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah, it's not going well. I'm 228k - my worst rank at this stage ever by some distance

    3. Pooodle
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      I was 1m after about 12 weeks last year and came in the top 10k overall - no need to panic.

      1. Yank Revolution
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        This

    4. tisza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      1st part of season it's all about points gap rather than ranking gap. i'm 15 pts behind 10k but only 23pts ahead of 500k & 35pts ahead of 1m. so 12pts covering 500k places.

    5. Salah’s Sonnet

      awww diddums

  19. Frank Black
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Kane's august curse strikes again but now it's over people are going to mass sell him and he's probably going to score against Everton already.

    GW 5 is definitely the moment you want to bring Kane in, though. By then he'll be 12.4M and almost a differential.

    1. thepeen555
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah I reckon so

    2. Pino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      If Kane blanks against Everto which is very possible he can drop to 12.3

      1. thepeen555
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah fast

  20. General_Zod

    If ever there was a reason to hold on to a wild card, it was today.

    Learnt diddly squat and there's a transfer window to close.

    1. Eton Rifles

      post of the day

    2. Fred54
      • 9 Years

      Tbh I haven't seem anyone benefit wildly on a WC.

      1. F4L
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        I did, greatly

    3. thepeen555
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      play that card and wait to see the incomings and the outgoings - a lot have done that already

      1. General_Zod
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        That doesnt make sense to me. New players wont have form and some big hitters yet to play or play enough to figure out what theyll do.

        After gw6 seems a lot better imo.

  21. KGFC
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Is anyone from Man City essential? Points are too spread out and not worth having someone like DSilva for 8.1 to provide only an assist... thoughts?

    1. thepeen555
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Nope

    2. Tim Canterbury
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Points are non existent. Rotation is a joke

  22. rdamjan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    What to do with Ramsey? To Mikhi for -4 worth it? 8.5 to spend.

    1. Sahil Yadav
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Mkhi worth it.

    2. rjcv177
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Wait for IB and news on arsenal. They have d fixtures and ramsey was looking good before today. Mykh is good, pogba also important.

  23. rjcv177
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    IF no big problems on IB, is this good enough for a -8?

    Salah, kane, mounie

    Alli, firmino, chicha

    1. Sacked in the Morning

    1. tsm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Take this as an abject lesson strikers who are on form have a higher chance of scoring again vs august curse. 🙂

    • 6 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Hart
    Stephens/Ake/Davies/Lowe
    Willian/Mkhi/Salah
    Kane/Jesus/Lukaku

    If i was to wildcard id do
    Jesus to Firmino
    Get rid of Willian Salah Stephens Ake Hart.
    Is it worth it?
