Dugout Discussion – Saturday

With no early kick-off for Gameweek 23, we’re treated to a packed Saturday afternoon before the tea-time clash at Wembley Stadium.

The main focus for Fantasy managers will be on Stamford Bridge, with Chelsea’s Marcos Alonso heavily backed, along with both Eden Hazard and Alvaro Morata when Leicester City pay visit.

With 34 points from his last three home outings, Alonso’s form is assured. But the same cannot be said for both Hazard and Morata, who will surely need to deliver in today’s encounter to postpone further sales in Fantasy Premier League (FPL).

Hazard has produced just a goal and an assist from his last six Gameweek starts, while Morata has a single goal in his last four, though he has missed five big chances in his previous two outings with Stoke City and Arsenal.

Elsewhere, Fantasy managers will mainly be seeking clean sheet returns, with the popular Burnley back five at Crystal Palace and both West Ham and Brighton visiting Huddersfield and West Brom respectively.

Marko Arnautovic and Richarlison are perhaps the other key attacking assets on show.

The pair are in contrasting form, though both have suffered heavy sales heading into today’s deadline. Arnautovic returns to the Hammers line-up at the John Smith’s Stadium and looks to be leading the attack. He was sold by over 113,000 managers ahead of today’s deadline but has five goals from his last six starts.

As for Richarlison, he is without a goal since Gameweek 12 with just four assists to his name over that run. He has suffered an ownership loss of over 150,000 over the last two Gameweeks, but a points return against Southampton today would revive his stock ahead of a run of favourable fixtures for the Hornets.

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

    Sick and tired of Gross. Transfer ideas? have 2ft and 0.3m

    Pope Adrian
    Alonso Jones Sanchez Duffy Gomez
    Salah Sterling Arnie Son Gross
    Kane Firmino Quaner

    A: Sanchez + Son + Gross >> Stones + Sane + Lingard (-4)..have exact funds but reluctant to bring in lingard before he plays. sane nailed on?

    B: Sanchez + Gross >> Stones + Lingard
    C: Something else? cant see any other mid options around 6m mark..C-M?

      Watch Bolasie now.

      Good price good fixtures.

        I think he could be a great shout soon. Looked lively in the last match I saw him play. If he keeps whipping in those crosses & Tosun converts them...

        No rush though. Plenty of time to analyse 🙂

    A) Son, Kenny > Stones, Arnie
    2 FT 0ITB

    B) Son, Kenny, Pogba, Long(BUR) > Lingard, Stones, Jones, Arnie
    -8pts hit

    A or B ?

    Anyone eyeing off Chuopo-Moting or Ramsay?

    1. Red Dagger ✪
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Ramsey if Sanchez goes.

    2. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      I owned C-M, was a poor man's Richa. (When Richa was actually worth owning..)

    3. Ange Ball
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Both

    4. JustPark
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      CM and fellow team mate for a defender spot. Are they good?

    5. FlockofSeagulls
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Ramsey yes.

      Wouldn't touch a Stoke player with your baby dingo.

    6. justmatt
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Yep. Considering a Son downgrade to one so I can bring in Alonso.

      Also tempted by Lanzini but already own Arnie.

      1. Flynny
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Stoke have lovely fixtures....looking at choupo

        1. justmatt
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          Also considering Shaqiri, think he's more nailed than CM

  4. GuillermoDickero
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Would you rather have....

    Aguero instead of Firmino

    OR

    Arnie instead of RLC

    1. Ha.
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      The latter

      1. justmatt
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        This

    2. Mo Mané No Problems
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Firmino + Arnie

    3. JustPark
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      RLC looks of a more pressing issue.

  5. Delhidynamo

          Kane / Salah will score more.

      2. justmatt
        • 8 Years

        Better than Hazard(c)

        1. clodhopper
          • 10 Years

          I bought him this week quiet happy with points didn't captain though

    3. Wild Rover

      Arnie winning goal baps added yet?

      1. Rainer

        No.

        1. Wild Rover

          Nice

      2. FlockofSeagulls

        What's your hurry? Got a bus to catch? 😉

    4. King Sheep
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      EVS for Tosun to get a SOT on his debut, I'll have some of that .....

    5. ★Kuntheman★
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Gotta figure out what to do with Kane and Son. Dropping Kane gives me more budget but nobody decent to pick from. (Already have Kun)

      1. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Keep both for Saints at least.

      2. Les Bleus
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Why would you drop either with the form they’re in?

      3. Give The Todd Some Love
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Keep Kane then

      4. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        No way should you drop Kane. Son, after today's match & the next, possibly. Son tends to be a bit quieter vs. tougher opponents, so it's a less risky move?

      5. Sylas
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Go ahead!

    6. StoichkovFPL
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Everyone is on Kun but just till he blanks vs Liv and people will realise that his form isnt great plus Jesus may return earlier than we thought

      I think that 3-5-2 with Kane and Firmino may be the way to go. We have a lot good mids to pick.

      1. Les Bleus
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Agree with this

      2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        He's got Newcastle after that. Not the end of the world if he blanks

        Just need him to look sharp

        He's on fire

        1. StoichkovFPL
          • 8 Years

          Kane? yes he is

      4. Red Dagger ✪
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        Kane and Firms for me is the way to go.

      5. Weeb Kakashi
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        This.

        Kdb over Kun long term.

        1. Red Dagger ✪
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          Yup.

      6. MTPockets
          6 years, 3 months ago

          Anyone trumps Morata for the £ though.

        • The Big Fella
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          I think people have 2 options. Kun as the second striker or a really cheap one to afford a good midfield. I won't be buying Firmino because he tends to play deeper without Coutinho. I am leaning towards Kun in for Morata.

        • Sylas
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          Let's wait and see what happens. You obviously sound like someone that doesn't own Aguero.

          1. StoichkovFPL
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 3 months ago

            can get him with FT so its more like realistic view on things here

            1. Sylas
              • 8 Years
              6 years, 3 months ago

              Realistic according to you? I correct myself. It looks like you're convincing yourself. 😆

            2. Sylas
              • 8 Years
              6 years, 3 months ago

              Try being less obvious the next time. 😆

          Happy owner. I see a game with goals at Anfield and he is the focal point, on pens etc. Then two nice home games. 13 goals and 4 assists so the price is about appropriate, particularly given likelihood of greater % pitch time.

          Other options for sure, but I would be concerned if I didn't own as well.

      7. Weeb Kakashi
        • 8 Years

        Any chance of a kdb rise and a Hazard fall?

        Would've had Maguire off the bench had Christensen come on. Or alternatively, had Christensen played 3 more minutes I'd have had a clean sheet.

        Lanzini and arnie to finish on equal baps be very handy

        1. Rainer
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          Should be Arnie 3, Lanzini 2.

          If Harry Kane scores at least a goal this evening, I will ditch Hazard. Otherwise I keep Hazard for Brighton...

        Christensen played 5 mins of extra time on top of 57 of normal. Surely he gets a clean sheet bonus???

        1. Sailboats

          I'm ditching him. He's a FPL trap. Morata wasting away his juicy passes anyway. Plenty of MFs to replace him: Arnie, Mahrez, KDB, etc.
