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.

    Jesus vice captain to compensate for Aguero (c).

    But also own Hazard and Salah, unsure if I should be sad or happy.

  6. We Will Klopp you
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Man Hazard and Morata are gonna spiral out of affordability if I don't get them in now. Not the best week to do it but 100% bringing in at least one of them for a hit, will be paid off in the coming 20 gws

    1. Jack Burton
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

        6 years, 5 months ago

        yeah feel the same i missed a lot of captain picks having him in my team we all know what he is capable of though thats the problem

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

      captained him 4 times this season , 4 fails for 10 points total , i'll probably captain him again though , he owes me a haul big time

  8. Twisted Saltergater
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    73 points with Kane(c). Just Richarlison to go.

    What a mad gameweek.

    1. Teror
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Insane. 73 without bonus?

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        With bonus, unless it changes of course! No Salah is killing me too lol.

    2. EMERGING STAR
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Just saw that you have done really well all the seasons. What happened this year?

  9. Teror
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Successful wildcard for me this week. 52 points so far with 3 left to play. My old team would've got 27. Projected to rise from 30k to 18k. Only downside is leaving Niasse on the bench in place of Trippier. 10 points lost :'(

  10. rohan
    • 12 Years

    82 with Dea Gea and Pogba to come.

    Aguero (C). Salah (VC). Niasse first sub. Talk about luck

    1. Lord Flashheart

    1. La Roja

      Just pipped you mate...
      77 with DeGea and Choupo.. 🙂

  14. teneighty

    Kun + Tammy -> Morata + Wilson for free seems like a no brainer.

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

      Look at Kun's and Tammy's fixtures week and think again

  15. The Wanton Trader
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Everyone going to get Wilson now...
    So much for a differential.. 🙁

  16. Hooky
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    So many douchebags on here saying told you so or glad I didn't listen to the advice given out on here. Eejits

    1. Fanta sea
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah if they don't like the advice, why come to the forum? Makes no sense.

      RIP Tim Gudgin

  18. Fanta sea
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    So people on here are deciding to remove Kun or Kane after a blank. The reason you've put hthem in your teams is because you know that they'll get goals. Too often I see that when their player blanks for a gameweek, they're quick to take them out of their teams and then when they end up scoring goals in the next gameweek, they're quick to point out how they're fuming because those players scored.

    The point is to stick with the choice you've made because you've made that choice for a reason.

    1. The Wanton Trader
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      No way I’m getting rid of Kane...
      Wouldn’t touch a City striker though...

    2. We Will Klopp you
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Kane isn't moving from my team but Kun to Morata gw14 was something all owners were considering. With Morata's fixtures and captainability as well as form I feel it has to be done at this point

      1. Fanta sea
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        I've got all 3 so I didn't have that dilemma.

    3. AzzaroMax99
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      I have Kane, Kun & Morata..one of them need to go, because my mids are disaster. Right now it's Kun.

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Disaster when he starts next week

  19. AzzaroMax99
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Yesterday I was 2 seconds to do Eriksen to Salah for a hit...in the last moment I cancelled that transfer 🙁

  20. Horlicks esq.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Abraham > Callum Wilson has to happen today then i guess. Shame.

    As I want KDB immediately

  21. Over Midwicket
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Who's a better pick for 3rd forward, Wilson or Niasse?

    1. Ramboros
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      I prefer Niasse. Cheap enough to bench in a game where midfielders are running riot.

      1. Over Midwicket
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Meh, money lot really an issue

        1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          Niasse i think. Wilson not that confident has he cant repeat like this

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

        This and cheap enough that if he doesn't start it doesn't matter.

        I know Wilson scored 3 but his future minutes will always be in question due to his fitness, competition and schedule.

        1. Over Midwicket
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          He just scored a hattrick. Has Always been Bournemouth's no 1 striker, just been injured

  22. HD7
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Subs: Elliot - okay but... Tarroll, Chalobah, Mbemba

    What to do with my subs, which are the best alternatives?

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

      Loftus-Cheek to replace either of the midfielders. Surman also decent.

      Dunk the cheapest nailed defender at 4.4m I believe.

      1. HD7
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks 🙂

  23. AzzaroMax99
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    35 with Dunk and Matic to go 🙁

  24. GOTHAM City F.C.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Surman or RLC?

    1. Lyonnais
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      RLC

  25. Lyonnais
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    First time since GW32 of the 15/16 season I've got clean sheets from all my def and GK.
    Pope, Ward, Daniels, Alonso 🙂

  26. Fanta sea
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    One gameweek there will be a time where Kane, Aguero and Morata all score 2+ goals. That will be the time when I jizz all over my computer.

  27. Sánchez
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    I'm on 57 with 2 to go
    Started 27k rank this gw
    FF Fix saying green arrow
    Cant see it reading the scores on here

    1. dark91
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      If the average is indeed 37 or 38 as someone posted here then you will be getting a green

  28. cjhewitt92
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    All season done 5-2-3 with expensive front 3

    Looks like way to go spend up front and at the back with Salah and City mid and 3 4.5 midfields

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

      Especially if RLC and cork score like that every week

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

      Expensive front 3 not been justified this week imo

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

        If Lukaku scores it might be though.

  29. d3bug
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Baps updated?

    1. Coaly
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Clown

  30. AF90
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Firmino & Vardy -> Niasse & Morata?

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

      Probably a good move.

      I'd like to give Vardy more time but might have to jump on Morata tonight if he looks like rising.
