Dugout Discussion – Watford vs West Ham

Sunday’s solitary fixture gets underway at 4pm as Watford welcome West Ham United to Vicarage Road.

The Hornets’ Richarlison is still searching for his first home goal since signing in the summer, with all four of his strikes arriving on the road.

Nonetheless, the young Brazilian – who is the most popular Fantasy Premier League asset from today’s encounter, with 18% ownership – has still supplied points against both Liverpool and Arsenal in front of his own fans.

Those holding Richarlison will be keeping a keen eye on his performance today – after next week’s trip to Newcastle has passed, Watford are braced for a run of three testing fixtures (MUN TOT bur).

West Ham roll up on the back of the worst defensive record in the opening 11 Gameweeks, having conceded 23 times.

They’ll be desperate for shoots of improvement under David Moyes, though they need to make do without injured top scorer Chicharito. The new Hammers boss hands Andy Carroll a first start since Gameweek 7 in light of his fellow forward’s absence.

It’s a sign of the visitors’ malaise that the Mexican is their only outfield player with more than 2% ownership in FPL.

And with clashes against Man City, Chelsea and Arsenal just around the corner in Gameweek 17-19, that lack of interest is unlikely to change anytime soon.

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

    Team is:
    DDG / Eliot

    Kiko / Daniels / Moreno / naughton / long

    Salah / sterling / chuopo moting / Ramsey / Carroll

    Aguero / Kane / morata

    Thinking of wildcarding to make these transfers:

    Aguero > niasse
    Sterling > sane
    Ramsey > richarlison
    Carroll > RLC
    Chuopo moting > pogba
    Kiko > kompany
    Long > Alonso
    Naughton > dunk

    What do you think?

      Basically you just want to get players who scored well this Gw. Great

        6 years, 11 months ago

        Yeah realise it looks like that. But that wasn't really the plan , more getting players that have good fixtures over December.

        Cheers for the Helpful answer though...

        1. La Roja
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          Gotta be honest. That team looks good with those knee jerk moves 🙂

        2. fedolefan
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          A decent week to be chasing points if that's what this is. A lot of class players did well.

      2. AttackAttackAttack
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        A bit harsh. These were all good players before the gameweeks kicked off.

        Good moves. Only risk is kompany. Ota is less injury prone and less rusty.

      I wouldn’t WC that team I’m in the same dilemma see down the page but I don’t have Morata or Salah which is my problem. The only players that you listed that I would really want would be Pogba and Richarlison and maybe Alonso

      1. ShaunGoater123
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Yeah that's the dilemma, team isn't in a bad state.

        But feel like it might be worth freshening up. Tough one

  2. ryacoo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Think Morata will double rise this week?

    Got 0.1 wiggle room for Cedric/Lukaku to Alonso/Morata. Planned on making them in GW14 but looks like I might have to sell Lukaku this week or be priced out 🙁

    1. Elwood
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      You could always get Azpi instead?

      1. ryacoo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        He's also likely to rise at least once this week though.

  3. SuperMane Returns
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Richa on -15.6%? Who are people transferring him out for ?

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Hughes

    2. F4L
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      he only scores 5-8 points. Apparently that aint good enough for a 6.5mil mid

      1. Deus
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        It is good!
        If every player will get you each point for point of a price it will equal 100+ pts each gw 🙂

    3. Rash
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      I'm guessing people already kneejerked at HT when he didn't do anything

    4. Elwood
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Downgrading forwards (Kane, Jesus & Aguero) and upgrading Mids

    5. GuyIncognito
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Pogba

    6. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      He's + 15.6

      1. SuperMane Returns
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Oh yeh lol, sorry it was because i seen the red arrow. My bad!

  4. Dr Kenneth Noisewater
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Is Pogba price locked until next GW?

    1. Podge
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Yeh

  5. Abaddon
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Vardy, gross and stones to Wilson,pogba and daniels? -4 Or am I chasing points?

    1. el polako
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Chasing points plus Vardy plays West Ham next, might be points gallore for him.

    2. Elwood
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Chasing points. Do you really think Wilson is a good call, he is not nailed on and Bournemouth will not score like that regularly.

      1. Abaddon
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Thanks both. I do see your points. Just Stones to someone then. Daniels was the first i was thinking of

      2. Optic1
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Actually Bournemouth have been quite consistent at scoring since promotion - only struggled at the start of this season. Check out Wilson's sats when he has been fit.

  6. CFC96

    anyone know how much higher the average would have rised from yesterday?

  7. La Roja

    Why everyone rushing on transfers? Plenty of midweek game chaps. Risk it at your peril

    1. Qaiss
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Me for example, I'm doing Long > Otamendi and Kun > Morata. If I don't do it today, I will be 0.1 off

      1. La Roja
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Risky business, fingers cross no injury

        1. Qaiss
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          yeah, I don't normally do early transfers. But I really want to make these changes.

          1. La Roja
            • 12 Years
            6 years, 11 months ago

            Personally, even if no injuries, I would not sell Aguero this GW. He has Huddersfield and I’d probably captain him. Liverpool only conceded 1 goal at home, not easy game for Alvaro

            1. Qaiss
              • 8 Years
              6 years, 11 months ago

              Just cant take the rotation anymore. Its not only that but if I don't do it, I wont have 11 players playing as my bench is Carroll, Long, Atsu.

  8. emodabi
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    I am struggling to fix this mess, and appreciate any thought ideas please guys

    My scout:

    Elliot/Fabianski

    Davies/Jones/Mee/Naughton/Löwe
    Choupo-Moting/Salah/Alli/Sterling/Doucouré
    Abraham/Agüero/Kane

    I have already changed Löwe to Shkodran Mustafi.

    I am thinking to take a hit and do some changes in the forward as Abraham is injured and Augero subject to rotation and I am fade up with him, I have below in my mind:
    1- Agüero to Lukaku
    2- Abraham to Niasse/Callum Wilson

    1 or 2 or maybe any other thought in my squad will be highly appreciated

    My options are

    A- keep sterling
    B- swap for hazard
    C-swap for pogba

    Already have silva

    Many thanks

    2. Jolly Good

    • 12 Years

    Thoughts on this? Kane has blanked with the armband 2 weeks in a row for me now. What to do this week?

    A) Keep the armband on Kane, save the FT. All or nothing - another blank and he's gone.
    B) Kane/Gross > Kaku/Pogba (-4 - have exact funds for this move)

    Rest of front 8 is Morata, Jesus, Sane, Richarlison, Salah, RLC

  12. Pompel

    Bliemy - just saw Mariappa played today. Six points off the bench - that was unexpected 🙂 !

  13. AF90
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Sterling -> Pogba GW13
    Firmino & Vardy -> Morata & Niasse GW14

    Going forward I will have;
    Foster/Elliot
    Jones, Maguire, Daniels
    Hazard, Salah, Pogba, Richarlison
    Kane, Morata, Niasse.

    Thoughts on this? Is no Man City a big problem?

  14. La Roja
    • 12 Years

    Meanwhile Adebayor and Soldado grabbed hatty each in Turkish league

  15. GuyIncognito

    On a scale from dead to cramp, how bad was the Kiko F. injury?

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

    Which of these is better fplwise?

    1) Hazard + Wilson (-4)
    vs
    2) Caroll + Morata + 1.6mn

    Currently on 1 as want make some ground with differentials

    1. catchchaos
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      I'm in a similar position. Thinking about Hazard + Niasse

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

        Niasse is less nailed than Wilson
        Plus Wilson on penos too

  17. catchchaos
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    TC didn't even start today I'm getting a little nervous for the busy festive schedule (Jones as well as Sterling owner). So should switch to a 5 man mid I do

    Firmino -> Niasse
    TC -> Pogba

    Only problem is I'll be with no liverppol cover (rest of mid is Silva Sterling Hazard Gross)

    1. slamdunk
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      He didnt start yesterday either

      Need salah in before Pogba imo

  18. Feed tha Sheep
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 11 months ago

    Have a dilemma Morata Salah will prob double rise this week and was planning on WC next week as I don’t really want them in until next week but by then I will have lost too much value..should I just WC now?
    Changes will be Elliot Forster Kolasinac Sterling Ramsey Vardy > DDG Speroni Yedlin Salah RLC Morata

    1. Rash
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      Not a fan of most of them moves tbh

      1. Feed tha Sheep
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        So you think Salah and Morata arnt needed yet that’s really the only way to fit them in?
        Team is
        Elliot Forster
        Dunk Marriappa Kolasinac Mee Daniel’s
        Richarlison Sterling Silva Ramsey TC
        Lukaku Kane Vardy

        1. Rash
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          Go pope instead of DDG and get someone better than yedlin

          1. Feed tha Sheep
            • 12 Years
            6 years, 11 months ago

            But united defence is prob the strongest in the league?

        2. Yozzer
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          Salah is the new Sanchez
          Morata is becoming essential, whereas Hazard will troll is owners I think morata is the go to man in Chelsea attack. I regret not making the move when i had chance .Go for it

          1. Sims
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 11 months ago

            hazard with monster bap potential penos and more point(s) for cleanie and goal edges it for me in his slightly different new role

    2. Pasqualinho
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      They may just be single rises, so I’d cool those jets.

      1. Feed tha Sheep
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        I hope so but I’m worried that I could lose maybe 0.5 or so with rises and falls so is it still worth waiting a week as players I’m getting out have decent fixtures this week and will WC next week anyway to get Salah Morata etc in?

          • 7 Years

    A) daniels & pogba (-4) ---- mbemba & choupo out

    C) otamendi/davies & zaha (-4) --- mbemba & choupo
    D) otamendi/davies ---- mbemba out

  20. Salarrivederci

    Speroni
    Jones, Aké, Monreal
    Salah, Silva, Hazard, Richarlison
    Agüero, Niasse, Kane (C)

    (Elliot, Carroll, Lowton, Duffy)

    Was all set to go Richarlison to Pogba this week.

    Then he scored again. His pts don't seem to be drying up, as I thought.

    What do people think? Is Pogba going to be 1.5mil better than Richarlison?

    1. Ha.
      • 9 Years

      Not next week, that’s for sure

    2. F4L
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 11 months ago

      you thought one of players who have had the most shots all season would suddenly stop scoring?

      1. Monkey Hanger
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        I thought, and still think Silva will go to Everton. And that it would affect the whole team negatively.

  24. Patch

        I would have scored 497 points had I done nothing.

        Currently 601 based on being active.

        (For both scores above I am excluding the 75+ from this GW)

    DDG
    Azpi Jones Otamendi
    Salah Silva Richarlison Choupo
    Kane Lukaku Abraham

    Elliot Ward Dunk Carroll

    Will have to avoid any price changes to get Pogba in for Choupo later. Abraham to Niasse today?

    Pope / Elliot
    Otamendi / Jones / Vertonghen / Daniels / Moreno
    Salah / Sane / Zaha / Richarlison / RLC
    Kane / Kun / Abraham

    2FT, 0.2 FT

    Abraham > Niasse ?

    Next week Kun/Richarlison > Morata/Pogba

    Is Christensen likely to continue starting for Chelsea? 5.4m is massive value if so

      Wait til after Liverpool IMO. Unlikely to miss out on any CS points there, if he starts and seems to play well then get him in.
