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.

    Sterling+ Jones + Maguire
    To
    Salah + Moreno/Daniels+yedlin
    -8

    Yay or nay?
    Don't want to do it as Liverpool have Chelsea next, but Salah's form is insane
    Can save FT next week & do the 3 transfers for a -4 midweek

    1. Pep bites Kun
      • 7 Years

      So don't go on a flawed plan for -4. You're selling 3 good players to buy 1.5 in. You can't buy next weeks points based on this weeks.

    Should have 59 points (with RLC coming off bench for Aguero) with 3 to play. Richarlson, Femenia, Gross. Good enough for a green arrow?

    My Salah cpt was inspired.

    1. faux_C

      It's not inspired to captain the best player in the league.

      Captained Hazard.

      Worship me.

    There is only 1 player in my team in which I will keep regardless of any impressive stats anyone in here throws at me.

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

      No. Away to leaky Huddersfield where he's even more likely to start now

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

        It looks like he'll start champs league, no? With Jesus starting v Hudds

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

  9. Del Monte

  15. CFC96

    1. Leonard hatred
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Danilo viable again? They have like 3 fit defenders at this point.

      1. CFC96
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Possibly but seems a last resort to play him in the centre

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

    Damn it, Sane lost a bonus point.

    Best 3.0 Mid? Kthxbye

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

      Doosra is only 1.3 if you need the extra cash.

  18. Squires FC
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Kane c fail is getting old now.

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

    Morata > Kane 2 weeks ago definitely one of the worst moves of the season.

    At least hazard softens the blow

  20. fish66
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    52 points (pre bonus) Richarlison, Duffy and Lukaku (C) still left to play.

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

      Thanks . I'm make a note

    2. Deano
      • 11 Years

    Eriksen + Abraham > Hazard + Niasse for a hit
    Yes or No ?

  22. Fanta sea
    • 8 Years

    Rival had christensen. Is he becoming an option?

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

    A. Carroll - > RLC (benching Gross next week away to Man U)

    B. Save

    If I haven't raged quit after a Lukaku hattrick, what should I do?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      • 14 Years

      Relax until CL is over.

    People getting salah/hazard/morata vc points for having aguero captain is beyond jammy.. rewarded for such a poor decision! Now go buy lottery tickets 😉

  25. CFC96
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Own lukaku but need a differential next week to try and climb rank, would it be mad to captain richarlison away at newcastle over lukaku, kane, morata, sane and salah?!

  26. Vpan
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Are we sure Kane justifies his price tag?

    1. Fozzyb34r
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      He's blanked 7 out of 12 games, so no

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

      Because Morata has a toughie next week Kane wins a one week stay of execution from me. He needs to break this Wembley weak-team hoodoo or he's gone.

    3. Cok3y5murf
      • 7 Years

      We're sure he doesn't
