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

    Did Hegazi to Davies instead of Stephens. And Pope turns into de Gea. What a sack of shite.

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

      *what a sack of Sturridge

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

      I got in Davies as well. But have Hegazi first sub. Liverpool drew , Bees drew, what's the point of this noncense

    3. Frank Black
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      It's the only transfer i did too after retiring from FPL. Earlier they told me Davies wasn't playing, i didn't even look at my team. I'm even more retired than i was before.

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

    Don't come off the bench please Davies 🙁 I'd prefer having that Hegazi 6 pointer.

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

      Haha this. What a wasted transfer

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

        Bought Davies for Yoshida, makes it even worse.

        6 years, 7 months ago

        Doub it.
        Davies 16/17: GW4, Monaco, benched GW5 (no Rose), EFL, GW6, CKSA Moscow

          Jamie vardy. transferred him in before he did his 1000 goals in a row or whatever it was.

          1. AC Tomasso
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            Nice, I was late on the Vardy wagon thinking Leicester possibly couldn't keep on winning..

      Salah on for 3 bonus after deductions?

      1. That Was Easy!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        I sure hope not

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

      Hammers let me down

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

      Why is Bavies benched, b**tards!

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

      Defender for 5.3m?
      Maguire best choice?

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

      Can't name three midfielders I want, 5-2-3 w Alli and Salah might be the way to go.

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

      Why is Bavies benched though? Is it a one off or what?

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

        Rested

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

        Rested. It's written in the stars.

    13. Pooodle
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Delighted to have brought Davies in for a hit.

      Also, how is it that season after season Liverpool (a) have a terrible defence and (b) can't beat poor teams at home?

    14. sunzip14
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Elliot over Foster and Yoshida to Bavies went well

      1. HonestBlatter
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Same here. Well done

    15. DAZZ
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Is welbeck/rashford a bad shout? Got Sanchez, Kane, and Jesus on a WC.

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Welbeck is a good pick for the next few weeks. Two easy home games.

    16. JJJ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Davies, my captain on the bench! damn

      1. Nathan20
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        2 point captain incoming.

    17. Gnu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Not sure if the game has got tougher over the last few seasons or I'm just getting shittier at it?

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

        It's got harder to navigate increased rotation and more volatile price changes in more recent years.

      2. Nathan20
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        its very skewed at the mo. 2 million will give up in a couple of months when they lose interest. Even the worst players who stick the season out should do quite well overall.

    18. Optimus.
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      12 (-12) with Mariappa(-1) coming off the bench for Davis..

      Any good?

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

        not bad but the Mariappa benching is a low blow.

        1. Optimus.
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          3rd on the bench and I still get him 😆

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

        At least you're strong about it

    19. Slartibartfast
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Two CSs plus Aguero's haul for my pre-WC squad so far 😎

      At least I got Salah and Ritchie right.

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

      So, would bringing Aguero in for Jesus be a knee jerk? I have Chicharito to get rid of too and only 1.6m in the bank. Jesus is getting dragged off at the 60 min mark. He has started all 5 games so far but hasn't played 90 in any. Aguero has played 90 in two and 83 in another which is as good as. What is everybody else doing?

      1. That Was Easy!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        If I didn't think bringing in Kolasinac will be my move I'd do it. Aguero is well worth 1.0 more.

        1. Nathan20
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          chicharito>vardy stick with jesus.

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

        Things will probably even out between Aguero and Jesus over the season and at least Jesus is scoring regularly despite not playing 90.

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

          Yeah but he's not collecting BPS precsiely because he isn't play 90 and as shown today, the players left on the pitch will keep scoring too.

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

      Chupoo fail

    22. Athletic Nasherbo
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Mini league rival has Aguero captain...

      Morata and Alonso from Stones and Aguero has given be a -30 swing. Get the mistakes out the way now!

    23. Numb
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Don't be too sad Bavies owners - no one can take away those 32 points!

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

        I dodged him all year because of Rose's impending return. First time I brought him in this week. I just knew it would happen.

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

          And by all year, I mean all of 2017.

      2. Pooodle
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Unless you only got him in this week.

    24. L'Aeroplanino
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Need a hattrick from both Kane and Eriksen

    25. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Nobody on here talking about Aguero before the weekend.

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

        He's crap that's why
