Dugout Discussion – Saturday

Following on from Southampton’s 1-0 defeat of Palace at Selhurst Park, we focus our attentions on five 3pm kick-offs.

Liverpool and Man City both supply two of the top 10 captains for the Gameweek.

Roberto Firmino and Mo Salah are backed by 4% and 2% respectively as the Reds’ welcome to Anfield.

Both have already bagged two sets of double-digits in the opening four Gameweeks and were in the goals in Wednesday’s Champions League draw against Sevilla.

Meanwhile, Sergio Aguero (4%) and Gabriel Jesus (2%) were also in scoring form in midweek as Pep Guardiola’s side breezed past Feyenoord.

The Etihad outfit have racked up nine goals in their last two matches in all competitions and travel to Watford looking for a repeat of last season’s 5-0 win at Vicarage Road.

Elsewhere, Jamie Vardy heads to Huddersfield on the back of three goals in his first four Gameweeks – all scored against Arsenal and Chelsea.

Newcastle’s Joselu and Stoke’s Eric Choupo-Moting boast some strong underlying numbers as they square up at St James’ Park. Over 235,000 drafted in the Cameroon international after he bagged a brace in last Saturday’s home draw with Man United.

The Magpies’ Rob Elliot is once again the most benched player in the Gameweek – despite serving up back-to-back clean sheets, over 853,000 owners have named him as a sub.

West Brom and West Ham clash at the Hawthorns after contrasting results last week.

Hauled off just after the hour-mark in the 2-0 win over Huddersfield, Javier Hernandez was subject to over 230,00 transfers out – only Sadio Mane and Paul Pogba were jettisoned by more managers over the previous week.

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

    So Firmino is shiett?

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

      Kind of

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Chill, this is what Firmino does. He is invisible then pops up with a goal or assist.

      1. thorvaldsson
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        If that's the case why would you expose the invisible man?

    3. My Name Is Pepu
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Got him for Vardy last week, regretting.

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

      Should have gone with Salah ffs, forgot I didn't want Firmino for him being uninvolved for most of the time

    All you folks knee-jerking. Effin' hold your tits and assess your goddamn options properly.

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

      Exactly

    2. Cok3y5murf
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      It's not use. City 'coverage' will be all you hear for the rest of the week

      1. Cok3y5murf
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        no use*

  6. marcus2704
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Kane, Kun & Jesus frontline looking very appealing..

    1. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      They have to score at least 9 points to offset the rest of the team though...

    2. The Big Fella
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      And expensive

      1. Yank Revolution
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        If youre not spending that much up front, youre doing something wrong

        1. The Big Fella
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Not really. The ideal is two 10m+ with an 8m+/- have 3 of the most expensive players in the game up front means the rest of your team will be heavily unbalanced.

  7. Rafiki
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Hope Mendy gets in the mix

  8. FER FUSCH AKE
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    if Brady didn't get the assist, why didn't wood get it?

    1. Boydinho
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      This, stupid towers

    2. FFPro
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Because he didn't touch it. No one did. No reason for it not to be Brady's assist unless it wasn't him who headed the ball.

  9. faux_C
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    City going to be essential next week...but who!?

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

      Kun.

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Don't think City are essential, Pep will make sure of that

    3. ILOVEBAPS
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      That's the problem. Jesus last week, Agurero this week and who knows next. Lottery with City

    4. TOBY1
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Jesus or Aguero.

  10. davies
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    How's Chicharito looking?

    1. Bushido
      • 7 Years

  11. Cak Juris
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    2. Goat
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Prices nowhere close. Easy choice

  12. VFORVANDETA
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Anyone looking to do Firmino to Vardy if he blank today?

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

      Not me

    2. Bushido
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Nope, already of Mahrez

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

        Have

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

      What if both blank

    4. HurriKane
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      No

  13. FPL Pillars
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Aguero, FPL legend. He has punished all us non believers

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

      Yes.

    2. HurriKane
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      is he worth 1m over jesus?

      1. Mark-O
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        For pens only

      2. Bushido
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Possibly, he will score more

    3. ronty
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      punished all Pep rotation believers 🙁

    4. Give The Todd Some Love
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Best, most consistent FPL player of all time.

      When he's fit, he racks up the points without fail.

    5. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Kane, Lukaku, Morata, Lacazette all yet to play btw..

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

    Tadic assist still under review 😆

  15. Mark-O
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Scenes when Mane red --> sold for Pogba --> Pogba injured --> -4 if without 2FT

    There's Carabao Cup midweek btw

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah I have Pogba but avoiding transfers for another week till things settle down

  16. GreenArrows
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    May have to do Willian Jesus Lukaku > Ritchie Aguero Kane

  17. fedolefan
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Resisting a WC this week is going to be hard.

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

      Kane needs to make it easier.

  18. The Red Devil
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Any chances wood gets the assist?

    Not sure how I feel about doing atsu to gross

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

      Unlucky not to score more,exciting to watch as a owner. 🙂

  21. mojoindojo
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    So many premium forwards firing this season. Choices difficult choices

  22. Fuchs Mane Kante
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    The other games have no Brady assist either.

    Messi still got one the other night.

    Very confusing tbf.

  23. SantiClaus
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    There are so many performers in mid and attack. Any changes are just second guessing every time. Really tricky to find correct strategy at the moment...

  24. Granville
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Great. All these Jesus transfers in might get him back to his starting price.

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

      He already rose last night.

      1. Granville
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Ah so he did. Thanks. At least some people had sense.

    2. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Um...

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

      Nice.

    4. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Pay attention.

    5. Jam0sh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Can't believe myself but really considering Lukaku to Jesus for a hit..

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

    Harry Kane is getting mega points later and Alli

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

      *Eriksen

  26. JONALDINHO
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Will Brady be awarded the assist after the game because it's clear nobody touched it

  27. Jam0sh
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Joselu has wasted few chances

  28. camarozz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    I'm in deep do-do.
    My Antonio + vardy -8 not paying off.
    Anyone watching these games??
    Any hope of returns??

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

      I have both also :/ reall hope they come through

  29. La Roja
    • 12 Years

    Barca down 0-1

  30. Nickofoz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Someone explain to me how that's not an assist for Brady?

    1. Chenku╰☆╮
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      It isn't because there were multiple touches before goal
