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

    Have no players for Chelsea vs Arsenal, but need Morata to Fail, William to play a bit and Arsenal to score a goal.

    Man Utd need to concede a goal but Mata and Lukaku to thrive

    Kane and Alli to stay whole 90 mins scoring rediculous number of goals...

    Too much too ask...?

        Oh, sorry did not see the 5.5. Probably Groß.

      2. Scout Pics
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Atsu value at 5

    2. XabiAlonso

    When did Antonio get the yellow??
    I'm on 20 - 8* from 5 which is pretty poor right?
    Elliot, Suttner, Antonio,* Ritchie, Vardy* played.

    1. Up the tics
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      i got 16 from 5, think most is around that

    2. MTPockets
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Average is 23 from 4.5

      • Fpl Richie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Dreadful yes. But you are far from alone!

      • The Enlightener
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Antonio's yellow was literally at the end of stoppage time. Frustrated pullback on a guy. Ball placed for free kick and then final whistle, so it was as late as possible.

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

      Anybody watch Leicester? How did Iheanacho play? I am looking at alternatives to Chicharito.

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

      Davies not rising yesterday hurts even more now

    5. Jack Burton

      Need ali to go beserk and eriksen to have a quiet one me and ml leader both have kane captain

    6. Valar(Keith)
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Richarlison is gonna explode soon.. Losing faith in Antonio though.. 3 weeks of nothing so far. Antonio to Atsu /Ritchie and Firmino to Aguero /Morata looking likely

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

      Jesus only getting 6 points in 6-0 win. Phew.

      1. Forever In Our Shadow
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Saving them for Palace next week. 😉

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

      Can Vardy match Lukaku for points? Asking for the next few weeks, not the whole season.

      1. Hulk Smash
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Possibly if Pogba's absence affects Lukaku but Utd play Crystal Palace in 2 weeks

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

      Salah will surely lose BPS?

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

        Why?

      2. Greenbackbøøg…
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah probably

      3. F4L
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        he wont today. Literally hardly had a look in aside the goal

    10. Danno - Emre Canada
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Anyone captain Aguero here?

      1. Banana Shaqiri - HMD, PUP
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        0/

      2. Scout Pics
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        No

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

        The guy at the bottom of my mini league did. He still has Kane and Lukaku to go.

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

        Seen a few Jedis earlier who owned him.

      5. My Name Is Pepu

        Someone from another planet, maybe

        1. Danno - Emre Canada
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Lovely haul if you did

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

      We had this same Firmino issue last season and he scored a crapload of points. People really don't learn.

      1. The Royal Robin
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        What are you suggesting Diesel? Worth buying him?

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

          Don't sell him.

          1. The Royal Robin
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            I haven't got him. I'm saying is it worth buying?

      2. F4L
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        problem is Studge. Bobby is so ineffective when put on the LW

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

      Davies being rested?

    13. tm245
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Salah's baps will be my second highest scorer if he holds all three.

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

      Bavies has just helped with my Sane depression.

    15. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Basically we need a Kane and Spurs mid master class. 6-0 or better.

      Sorry Swansea nothing personal!

    16. The Royal Robin
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      12 here. Anyone worse off? 😐

    17. A Team Of James McCleans
      • 8 Years

      How high does 93 rank in the overall BPS score rankings?

    18. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Tempted to WC here.

      Ryan, KDB and Mounie stinking up my team.

      1. The Royal Robin
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        KDB got an assist today.

        1. Nomar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Yeah, he's just too expensive for pretty minimal returns.

          I need to downgrade him to Silva so I can upgrade Mounie. That's what I meant in regards to him.

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

          Much better options at city though, he's not worth the price tag. I'm an owner myself and was tempted to hold before this gameweek

    19. RipCity
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Ali and Kane need to explode, preferably with an Eriksen red

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

        I'm with you!

      2. Forever In Our Shadow
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Then you would suffer as he is the provider. Careful what you wish for 😉

      Wtf happened to Brady's assist points???

    21. Twelve years a slave

      • 13 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Game week 5 Must all buy Davies and Firmino
      Gw 6 must all buy Aguero and Kolesniak

      1. Greenbackbøøg…
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        inb4 Aguero rested

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

        Triggerlips, you have Vardy. Do you think he can match Lukaku over the next few?

        I have Jesus and Kane too.

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

        I think Aguero and Kolasinac wouldn't be too bad to bring in regardless of GW5 "must buys" you mentioned failing

    22. Call Me Old Fashioned
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Still have Mounie. Would you WC?

      DDG, Elliot
      BDavies, Dawson, Yoshida, Mee, Long
      Eriksen, Salah, Mhiki, Atsu, Carrol
      Lukaku, Kane, Mounie

        • 14 Years

        That's pretty much my team. Thinking about it but maybe a hit can cover it.

      2. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Downgrade Mikhi and upgrade Mounie.

      1. Banana Shaqiri - HMD, PUP
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        2nd half, but still not good enough to get/keep players

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
