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.

    WC or not?
    If not what's my priority transfer?

    DDG - Elliott
    Hegazi - Stephens - Mee - TAA - Mbemba
    KDB - Salah - Ramsey - Ritchie - Carroll
    Lukaku - Kane - Gabbi

    1. Scotty B
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      WC

    2. Balls of Steel
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      I think it looks ok actually apart from KDB.

    3. matthew_1991
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Don't think you need to WC yet. Get rid of KDB for one of: Pogba, Mhki, Mane or Eriksen and maybe Gabbi to Chica (if you can afford and are willing to take a -4). Otherwise just get rid of KDB...

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

      kdb out! also gabbi, ramsey, mbemba (short term ) all out .

    5. Spag Bolasie
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Dont wildcard, at worst 2/3 changes but none fully urgent. So deal with KDB first, Ramsey week after, TAA possible week after.

      1. Jet5605
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks Spag. I'd like to bring Alonso, Firmino and a KDB replacement in over the next three weeks. Which mid do you think I should get for KDB? Mhiki or Eriksen/Alli perhaps?

        1. matthew_1991
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Alli

  2. The Royal Robin
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Anyone else left licking their wounds? What a terrible GW. No Liverpool hurt me.

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

      I thought you wildcarded?

      1. The Royal Robin
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Yep. 37 all out 😐

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

          fook

    2. Dr Van Nostrand
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Yep even avoiding the Kane car crash hasn't saved me. Played it safe and stayed away from lethal Liverpool due to rotation fears.

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

        That's the problem until CL gets underway properly we don't know who will play more and when

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

      PL eh

    4. FDMS All Starz
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Ouch, surely u needed atleast one...they look dangerous going forward even before this game

  3. Legomané
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    A. KDB out FT
    (Alli / Eriksen / Mané / Salah / Silva)
    B. KDB & Ramsey out for (-4)

    Foster
    Davies Bertrand Jones
    KDB Pogba Ramsay Carroll
    Kane Lukaku Firmino

    (Myhill Aké Romeu Long)

    1. Balls of Steel
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Just get rid of KDB

  4. matthew_1991
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Foster (Elliot)

    Jones - Stephens - Mee (Daniels) Mmemba)

    Pogba - Eriksen - Willian - Mooy (Carroll)

    Kane - Lukaku - Firmino

    1.0 ITB (1FT)

    Is it worth doing Kane to either Lacazette or Morata for GW 4 and then getting him back for GW 5? Or is there anything else I should do with my FT?

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

    I still think, anyone WC'ing, spread your value in the front 8. The best way to go

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

      *front 7

    2. FDMS All Starz
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Alonso not worth it for u?

    3. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      example?

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

        I Wildcarded to this in GW2, worked a treat so far:

        Mkhi Eriksen Salah Pogba Mane

        Lukaku Firmino

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Yep that looks cool, i've wildcarded today, mine is ver similar

  6. aflickering
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    17 last gameweek, 78 this gameweek, and this gameweek i had kane captain and brought in richarlison for ritchie. 😐

  7. kalmoffit
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Well at least there's no rush to get Sanchez.

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

      He proved today it's all about him. Bit of a twat.

  8. The Royal Robin
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Is it actually time for Kane to go?

    1. ViperStripes
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Nope he'll come good, and it will be major surgery to get him back when you've spread the funds,

    2. Danstoke82
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Nope. He will score big soon. Keep the faith.

    3. Dr Van Nostrand
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      It was never his time from the get go. Get rid plethora of great options now

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

      Depends. I personally wouldn't (and don't) have more than one forward who is valued at 11.0m or more.

    5. kalmoffit
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Hell, I only just got him in

  9. ViperStripes
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Any max 7.8Mid's to replace JWP or 6.9Fwd's to replace Quaker worth a hit?

    Or I can downgrade JWP to. 4.5 that's not Carroll and put the money towards a future Quaner upgrade

  10. Weasel51
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Best replacement for Willian up to 7.4?

    1. Scotty B
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      I'm in same boat. Either Fabregas or a West Ham mid. Ayew or Lanzini

  11. Prisoner FC
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    76 points.. No Kane or lukaku.. Lol. It's been a lovely gameweek hasn't it?

    1. Rains of Castamere
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      34 points post wildcard. Pass me the gin.

      1. Prisoner FC
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        I feel you. Drink one for me because next time it will be my team for sure

  12. Del Monte
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Tadic or Redmond?

    Tadic because of penalties?

    1. Lord.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Did you see his penalty last week? Practically a goalkeeping error.

  13. ooooo
    • 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.
    And then spread funds.
    Is it worth it?

    1. JÆKS ⭐
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Tricky one, but since there isn't really a template that has emerged yet and we don't know how much team will rotate during cl, I would say wait

  14. JÆKS ⭐
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Just to hear some other thoughts, what would you do with this team?

    DDG Elliot
    Davies Jones Stephens Mee Rosenior
    Salah Eriksen Willian* Gross Carroll
    Kane Lukaku Gabbi

    0.0 itb, willing to take a -4, Willian has to be included in the move

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

      Play 4-3-3 next GW IMO. Upgrade Gross or Willian.

      1. JÆKS ⭐
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        THat's what I'm planning to do with Gross on the bench, but well I'm more looking for replies regarding my transfer plans 😀 Thnx though!

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

    Chelsea cover --- Morata or Alonso?

    1. mojoindojo
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Both

  16. mr messi

    How did Siggy look today? Anyone see the match?

    1. Prisoner FC
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Barely could tell he was on pitch

      1. Gerd Mueller’s thighs
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Don't remember hearing his name in the first half.....showed up down the stretch.....

  17. Rupert The Horse
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Wow. What a terrible wild card. Like really bad.
    Still, won £165 after betting 4-0 Liverpool today.
    Probably prefer to still have my wild card though.

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

    I like Berbinho's Forehead.

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

      You're probably on your own there pal.

    Is Andy streaming tonight?

    1. Karan14

        Thanks mate

  20. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Joselu or Abraham as bench fodder?

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

      Tammy

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

      4.5 one

  21. Karan14
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Thoughts on this lot?

    Foster
    Suttner - Stephens - Bertrand
    Eriksen - Salah - Mkhi - Ritchie
    Kane - Lukaku - Mounie

    (Elliot - Carroll - Ake - Long)
    0.5itb

    Not sure what to do with Ritchie & Mounie. Stuck with 0.5 only and can't sell any of the other attackers.

    Any ideas?

    Would appreciate your thoughts!

  22. Evasivo
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Where was Kolasinac?!

    1. Dr Van Nostrand
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Wishing he never signed his fat Arsenal contract

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

        Why on the bench??

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Bench

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

        Any method behind the madness?

    3. VS10_
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Wishing he had never signed for Wenger.

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

      It was more tactically genius to play Bellerin on the left and Chamberlain on the right with Holding, who can barely play in a four man defense, in a three man defense instead of Mustafi, who would be much more suited to a three man defense.

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

        Thx Frank, I guess I need to think about alternatives

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

          Trippier PVA Kompany etx

    5. Football Weekender
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah what's the deal with him? Is he that bad that Bellerin at LWB is better?

      Think he's going for me once the internationals are done and dusted.

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

        Who you thinking of B?

        1. Football Weekender
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Maybe a straight swap for David Luiz. Ownership is a factor and I think Chelsea will be tight again this season. Shame Alonso went up 0.1 as I've got £1m ITB.

          It's just a shame to have to cut Kolasinac before that home game to Bournemouth but there's no guarantee of him playing and Arsenal just aren't keeping clean sheets anyway.

          Who are you considering as a replacement?

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

            I also have 1molesting ITB so Alonso would've been nice. Trippier or Citeh defender I guess

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

    Lukaku and Bertrand ➡ Morata and Alonso. its tempting, but stupid right?

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

      why is it stupid?

    2. PL Ball
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Stupid? No..

      but you sure you want to get rid of Lukaku after just one blank?

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

      why sell lukaku? also, in my mind bertrand is set and forget for like 10 more weeks.

  24. Tabbara
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Still early but Thoughts on
    Jones Sanchez Morata for Lukaku Kola and KDB (-4)?
    Thx

  25. St. Joseph
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Why getting rid of willian?

    1. Jairzinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Hazard coming back soon.

      He doesn't score that many points.

  26. PL Ball
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Would you WC this team?
    I know it's being asked a lot, but would love some perspective. Thanks 🙂

    De Gea (Elliot)
    Yoshida, Stephens, Jones, Mee (Hunemeier)
    Willian, Eriksen, Redmond, (Carroll, RLC)
    Laca, Lukaku, Kane

    1. Sacked in the Morning
      • 10 Years

      Nope.

  27. Sterling is £11Mill..…
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Swanseas fixtures aint bad, anyone thinking about Tammy?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Llorente

      1. Sterling is £11Mill..…
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        oh yea forgot about Llorente, think they will play together?

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

      I'm thinking. In for J-Rod maybe.

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

    Kolasinac owner, what are you doing?

    1. Dr Van Nostrand
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      will dump for a ManU Dman if about to drop. Otherwise bury on the bench for a week

    2. VS10_
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Surely he has to start now? Oh, wait... Wenger will probably switch to 4 at the back and stick Monreal at LB instead. Waiting to see if Ox goes, not dropping yet.

  29. Man Getting Hit By Football
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Will Firmino outscore Gabbiadini by more then four points in the next 5 gameweeks?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Very likely.

      1. Man Getting Hit By Football
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks TM. Pulled the trigger before price rises/drops.

  30. The Royal Robin

    What would you do with this lot?

    Foster
    Cedric Hegazi Jones Alonso
    Ramsey Mkhi Eriksen
    Kane Lukaku Chich

    (Lossl Chalobah TFM Carroll)

    1. FFSbet.com
      • 8 Years

      Lukaku > Firmino
      Ramsey > Mane
      or
      Lukaku > Morata
      Chich > Firmino
