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.

      Kane only scores well after people get rid 🙂

    11. _figu

      hatty

    12. fedolefan
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      You got to look at what West Brom are coming out with. I'm tempted to get rid of Kun for him.

    13. SuperMane Returns
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Kane only does 2 or 13

    14. Big_Bear
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      11 (Goal, Assist and 2 bonus)

      I'm captaining Kane next week.

    15. WE GO FOR IT
      • 8 Years

      Double digit

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

    Just been looking at 352 options but then I look at Kane and aguero fixtures and really puts me off getting rid of 1 of them

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

      Kane + Lukaku/Morata

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

        I have Kane aguero morata don't think I want to ditch any yet with the fixtures in their favour

  3. TorresMagic™

    Niasse likely to get a ban for diving?

    1. Viper
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      From everything I've read on it, yes

      1. TorresMagic™

          • 11 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          Richo didn't so hard to see.

  4. Chucky
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Should have listened to Lo Roja and captained Salah 🙁 We t for Moratta instead 🙁

    1. XabiAlonso
      • 8 Years

      Great day for you!

        Brilliant all around mate and for all the stick he gets, Lovren had a great game.

        1. XabiAlonso
          • 8 Years

        • 8 Years

        Thanks lad

  6. ★Kuntheman★
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Definitely feeling like dropping Kane over Aguero. With that in mind, how does this move sound?

    De Gea (Elliot)
    Azpilicueta Stones Jones Moreno Ward
    Salah Sterling (Fellaini, Loftus-Cheek, Carroll)
    Kane Aguero Morata

    Kane+Sterling+Fellaini+Stones>Niasse+Sane+Hazard+Walker

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      What score are you expecting in the Pool vs Chelsea game?

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Expecting high scoring game. 2-2 or 3-2.

    2. Gashead9
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Dropping Kane before WBA not advised

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

      No chance. Kane has wba. Just get rid of stone if he is injured.

  7. FPL Maldini
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Did Andy and Mark both captain Lukaku?

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

      FPL Virgin around to answer this?

    2. Shultan
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Yes...been talking up kane all wedk then captained kaku

    3. SuperMane Returns
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Yep. Mark also didnt have much faith in his magic bean RLC ...3rd on the bench, not coming on.

  8. Big_Bear
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    So who's with me doing Abraham for Wilson?

    Do people think Wilson will last in starting 11
    Might Wilson be penalty taker?

    1. SuperMane Returns
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Standard point chasing lol

  9. THFC4LIFE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    What's everyone doing with Kane? Fixtures look great but he's out of form

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

      Keeping for now maybe captain again

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

      Keeping. Possibly captaining next gw, toss up between him and Sane

    3. _figu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Keeping. Eriksen has to go for a City mid though

  10. Viper
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Genuine question:

    Does FPL spoil your enjoyment of actual football? I can't remember enjoying watching football outside of Arsenal (sometimes). Obviously this is especially case when you're having a horrid season and getting every 50/50 wrong

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

      Yes. I don't care about real football anymore

      1. Viper
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        I think this is now true of me now too unfortunately

      2. S.Kuqi
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Same here.

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

      I've known friends that have quit FPL because it ruins their enjoyment.

      A bad day FPL-wise does put me in a bad mood for an hour or two. I'm much more relaxed about it now, as I appreciate if you follow your gut and it doesn't work out then that's all you can do.

      1. Viper
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        I have genuinely considered quitting this season. I'm wasting time out of my life to make wrong decision after wrong decision 😆

    3. Bill Haverchuck
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Makes it more enjoyable for me. I only dislike it when I'm watching the team I support and have opposition players in my fantasy team. Makes me feel conflicted

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

        in those cases, I side with my team.

        1. Bill Haverchuck
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          Yeah I'll always support my team over my fantasy players. Doesn't mean I'm not a little bit happy if one of the fantasy players scores though

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

      Yes

    5. Pierce34
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Yes, definitely. I don't think many Arsenal fans were disappointed we beat Tottenham 2-0 but I was 😆

    6. andymck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      It can get frustrating when it goes wrong but it should never get in the way of supporting your team.

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

      Makes me enjoy it more. I'm a united fan, so wouldn't care about any results outside top 4 without fpl in my life

  11. HNI
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Was tammy really stretchered off?! Tough times then for swans even more

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

    Just need a Lukaku 1 pointer now 😆

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

      This

    2. HNI
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      With pogba back looks unlikely. Manutd chances and shots are almost twice when he plays. Plus linelof playing so wont be a 1-0 as CS looks unlikely lol

    3. _figu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Shhh

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

    Really hope Sterling and Jesus play vs Huddersfield :)))

  14. alfast1c
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Why Ward -1 when Defour got red, not him ?

    1. alfast1c
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      *yellow

    2. WE GO FOR IT
      • 8 Years

      YC

  15. Pierce34
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Thank god for those Bournemouth and Burnley clean sheets after so many people jinxed them earlier! That's the first time a hit has worked for me all season.

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

    Aguero has scored in his last 5 games and he has scored a total of 7 goals in 5 games.

    He missed 2 games because of that car accident thing and he missed this game probably because of the fainting incident. I'm sure Aguero starts next game and that means goals.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      CL

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

      He’s guaranteed to start when fit, their no 1 striker. Lots of benchings coming in for Jesus

  17. Flynny
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Anyone looking at jesus to morata as their next transfer??

    1. Bill Haverchuck
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah have considered it but might get Lukaku instead as I have Chelsea covered with Hazard & Alonso

  18. The Yorkshire Pirlo
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Would love to keep Aguero in my team but it’s just frustrating. Might give him Hudders game then ship.

    (after Huddersfield)
    Aguero + Chalobah* > Niasse + Hazard?

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

    Nice 4/4 clean sheets

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Good planning pays off 🙂 who were your 4x players?

  20. HNI
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Is sterling enough mancity cover? Helps me get Hazard for their fine run. Cant afford Sane too

  21. King Kohli
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Worth doing Vardy + Carroll > Niasse + Silva (-4)?

    Will leave me with a mid of Sane Silva Sterling Salah!

    1. Viper
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Chance Niasse could be retrospectively banned so hold fire

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

      No, triple City mid is too much imo and I like Vardy's fixture next week.

      If you don't have Loftus-Cheek just get him in for Carroll.

  22. Stimps
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Hmm

    Davies & Tammy -> Azpi & Wilson?

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

    Is Alonso still too expensive?

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Yes (I own him)

    2. Messiah Hazard
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      nope... had him since forever

    3. JariL
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      I think he'll score more than Azpi in the upcoming easy fixtures.

      Christensen one to monitor though for 5.4.

  24. Sailboats
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Abraham injured? I didn't watch the match can someone fill me in please

  25. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Biggest talking point of the day saved till last hopefully - Lukaku Hattrick + assist in a 6-0 demolition

  26. JariL
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Early days but Luiz & Calvert-Lewin --> Daniels & Wilson for 2FT seems like a no-brainer, right?

    Daniels the best def for max 5.1?

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Those look very good moves

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

    Bittersweet feeling as I bought Salah and Gomez this week... Should I be worried about the young defender or was it just rest after international break?

  28. nkhoughton
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Sell sterling to Salah or Coutinho for a free, I own sane and Jesus

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Sterling & Jesus > Salah & Morata

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

        That's a -4 plus I already own Hazard

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          Ok yeah just Sterling to Salah

  29. S.Kuqi
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Should I keep Alli for Wbrom game or ship him for Hazard for free?

  30. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Some bonus updated,

    Jesus on 2 baps
    Niasse back to 1

    1. Pierce34
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Jesus, get in!

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Sold him so 🙁

    2. _figu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Jesus scores one tap in and gets 2. Weird how baps work sometimes.

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Striker gets more bps.
