Dugout Discussion – Thursday

your 11 is ok for this week. I'll save a tf and spend it for a Spurs player (son) and a Wham one (Lanzini or arna)

11 is ok and good moves

Christensen not starting and alonso getting the goal was painful.

Looks good

Save some money for Quaner>Austin at GW25. Buy Alonso, I don't trust so much Firmino (Klopp telling the truth) and Lingard (Mou telling the truth) so I'll say go with two 4.5 mids and spend that money A: Jones>Alonso B: Firmino>Laca

Lingard 23 Stoke(H)

No, Morata couild go mad vs Stoke. Mahrez to Sterling maybe but always a possibility of Sterling getting rotated

Wouldn't lose morata yet with Stoke at home this gw.

Just mahrez to sterling will do

It's put me off sure just might have to go without and stay with christensen

It has for me.. Just too much uprooting to make it happen..

Hope so! Had him since the start. Great differential. I knew he would come good.

Would rather have DCL long term, but short term Hud fixtures are good.

Depoitre

Niasse need to get rid

Be patient, it's a good team

I may upgrade a defender and play 4-5-1

The we all end up in the same situation.

What if he repeats the double hat trick and you end up 100 points down?

I'm tempted to not TC him for this double. I reckon a huge number will captain him and lots of those will be TC. So those TCers stand to gain Kane's score extra on top of the ordinary captainers. Nice of course, but hardly season changing.

Come later in the season and there *may* be a scenario where there's several people to choose from if say City, Pool, Chelsea, Ars and/or Utd are involved in a DGW. You could stand to gain to the score to the power of two or maybe even three if you wait until then.

Not sure if I explained myself that well, but food for thought anyway I hope

Not one of the everton boys?

Coleman and Baines have had some insane seasons. Hell even Vermaelen was also a top fantasy asset scoring like Alonso.

What's the definition of a premium defender?

KDB to Gross = Rolls Royce to Fiat
Mariappa to Alonso = Skateboard to Hovercraft

So you think Alonso will get more points than KDB by the end of the season? I just want to know why you made this move cause I am in a similar position.

Mee

Kenny - attacking potential

I'm playing Mee

Kenny

Mee

Cheers.

Mee

Ooooft very tight one... Any price difference?

A

Tough. I like B.

Never waste money on premium GK that's not DDG and look how he's been doing lately. Hazard has screwed again. Bought in for 5 crap scores. He goes after Stoke and never again. Complete troll

Well done 🙂

double 99s, impressive mate!

Would actually love it if Zaha joins a big team... He'll rip it up

Maybe Mahrez/Zaha to Spurs/Arsenal. Think either would suit them.

DCL is living on borrowed time for sure. Sounds like a done deal for Tosun. Interesting to see what price he'll be. 7-8 bracket I'm guessing.

Wouldn't be surprised if Utd signed one or maybe two this window. Mou & Utd don't usually shop in January but Man City's run coupled with dire need for a LB and someone to do Miki's job might force Mous hand.

The best player in the world - Javier Pastore - to MUN

Actually, Nzonzi to Everton/Arsenal would also boost their teams Cs chances. Also, Draxler would be interesting if he moved.

Someone else that hasn't been mentioned is of course Dembele potentially moving to Brighton.

I haven't been following it closely, but if it were to happen, it'd be coup for Brighton and surely give them the striking power they need up front. Especially going into the last few months with a probable relegation scrap on their hands.

Surely a decent 3rd or even 2nd striker option depending on pricing. Only off-put is their fixtures.

Rose to United so I can put Bavies in

Danny Ings should be choosing his next club soon. 5.4m is good value.

Salah... Bound to do something at least

B

Salah

A or C, but give chance for A

I think yes

God I hope so.

Purely for the reason that Pep has said he won't sign him this January.

If he goes to City this summer and they can keep hold of their best players, they will have the most scary set of attacking players ever assembled. And god help the rest of the league. It'll be like the Bundesliga on steroids

Sounds like emotion is clouding your judgement 😉

dont let emotion above your logic mate

Chelsea or Salah. I don't know how anyone would want to gamble on Sane on recent form

Don't do it!

Stick with morata

A

Unless you want to play Alonso, Kenny and Robbo most weeks, A.

B, think about Masuaku instead of wimmer

A

A

Press is later today.
Returned to training yesterday.

Should be back

Goodness no. I actually planned this DGW nicely to have 3 Spurs & 2 WHam with no hits. But honestly I wouldn't be taking hits to hit that number were I in a different position.

Kane, Arnie & Alli/Erik is probably enough. Great if you can add one or two from Son/Og/Adrian/Lloris/Vert/Lanzini. But the latter bracket probably not worth the hit

I'm planning on a -4

Seen plenty over years take minus 8 of 12 and score 150...in which case it was worth it and then some.

Doubt it

Don't think he is nailed

A

B but lack of DGW players.

C

Yes.

Yes it is

Yes

if you still want an arsenal defender, yes. Maybe Belle is better in terms of injury record?

Wrestling with the same question myself, after playing DCL this week leaving Kenny's 6 on the bench. I think I might roll the dice with Kenny.... DCL looks spent.

50:50. Kenny, I think.

Dcl

Should do.

Think he should

Sanchez.

Ditto

How will you know before it's too late?

Coutinho has best points per match of regular plays in the comp including 12 min appearance. 7.8 is better than Salah. I bought at 8.9 Wouldn't dream of selling

Sanchez

Yes, it's worth it. Any one of the three.

2 plum fixtures in a double gw vs versus haz away at arsenal - all seem like good moves to me.

Not for me Hazard>Arnie after Stoke for value and 5 game fixture run after DGW

Im planning Son out of those 3

Many are moving Haz on by the sounds of it (myself included). I'll be getting one of Alli or Erik (prob the former). And I'll also be getting one of Son or Arnie with my other free
