Dugout Discussion – Saturday

The day continues with six afternoon kick-offs with an array of Fantasy big guns on show.

Pep Guardiola’s teamsheet again hits the headlines ahead of Manchester City’s meeting with Leicester. Having been signed by over 118,000 new managers, with 494,000 handing him the captaincy, Sergio Aguero is kept on the bench by the City boss.

That means that Gabriel Jesus starts for a sixth successive away match. Raheem Sterling and Fabian Delph also overcome injury concerns to start, while Leroy Sane – signed by 259,000+ ahead of Gameweek 12 – is on Pep’s teamsheet once again, his eleventh start in 12 matches in all competitions.

Chelsea’s Alvaro Morata was the most signed forward heading into today’s deadline, claiming 225,000 new owners. He will lead the Blues attack at The Hawthorns, with Eden Hazard once again in the No 10 role for Antonio Conte’s side. David Luiz is left on the bench by his manager, as Andreas Christensen earns a second successive start.

Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah was the hot property heading into Gameweek 12, with 291,000 snapping up the Egyptian following his season-high 15-points at West Ham. Salah is skippered by 476,000+ (8.9%) ahead of his meeting with Southampton.

Elsewhere Bournemouth host Huddersfield at the Vitality Stadium with Charlie Daniels – signed by 71,000 – the main interest.

Crystal Palace welcome Everton to Selhurst Park, while the Burnley defence will be backed to return another clean sheet against the visiting Swansea City attack.

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

    Gonna hold off until next week but if Hazard is gonna keep playing up front then this is very tempting:

    Aguero + Cheap Mid -> Niasse/Wilson + Hazard

      Thinking of doing the same with Jesus and Choupo-Moting out

  2. Fanta sea

    Morata had to get a YC and then lose a Bap for it.

    No Aguero, Cork off the bench. Finally some luck! 😀

    1. Arteta
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      All about squad depth..

    2. Ode
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Same. But I captained Agüero with Kane as vc 😀

  7. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Been a while since Liverpool have had the best LB in the country, feels good 😎

  8. DR0GBA
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    I played my Wildcard 2 minutes before deadline and captained Morata over Lukaku....

    Currently on 58 points before bonus.

    Don't let these FPL 'experts' think they know everything.

    1. Differentiator
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Ok m8

      1. DR0GBA
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        yeah

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Ok m8

      1. DR0GBA
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        yeah

    3. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      You probably missed out on a rise in Team Value by waiting so late ... oh and Lukaku hasn’t played yet so ...

      1. DR0GBA
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        so? I still have Lukaku in my team...

        1. Hotdogs for Tea
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          So, the point is you are gloating about a late WC whereas you could have maximised your team value by WCing earlier. You are also gloating about captaining Morata over Lukaku without knowing if Morata has scored more points than Lukaku - that is the ‘so’ 🙂

    4. XabiAlonso
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah

    5. Limbo
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Ok m8

      1. DR0GBA
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        yeah

          • 6 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          I was really struggling over which one, but went with Francis in the end, purely because of the fixtures.

    7. Sims
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

    16. England23
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

    17. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Wilson misses a sitter for his 4th.

      • 8 Years

    19. wulfrunian
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Begovic third save could give him 1 bp?

    20. TomSaints
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      52 with 3 to play

      Captaining literally any candidate than Kane and could have been a really good week

      1. lugs
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        43 with 3 possibly 4 to play , with another captain failure 🙁

    21. Sims
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Must be a few salah (vc) kun (c) out there

    22. The Head-Ake
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Cork in bench, Kane captain. Not the best times.

    23. pundit of punts
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Jones ➡ Ake this gw.

      Bench was Otamendi and Hunemeier.
