Dugout Discussion – Saturday

Saturday’s events continue with a batch of six afternoon kick-offs with some key assets on show.

Marko Anautovic goes into the clash with Bournemouth at the London Stadium as the most signed player ahead of Gameweek 24, boasting over 311,000 new owners. The West Ham midfielder turned striker has six goals from is last seven Gameweek starts and will go head-to-head with Callum Wilson for the Cherries. Signed by 157,000 before today’s deadline, Wilson has three goals from his last five starts.

Jesse Lingard’s ownership increased by more than 532,000 for Gameweek 23, only to blank in Monday night’s victory over Stoke. He will get the opportunity to boost his stock and justify that recent investment at Turf Moor as Manchester United take on Burnley.

Leicester City’s Fantasy assets will be under scrutiny against Watford at the King Power Stadium. Riyad Mahrez has picked up 106,000 new owners ahead of this match, with Vardy brought in by 118,000. They will face a Hornets defence without a clean sheet in ten outings and with reserve keeper Orestis Karnezis between the posts as Heurelho Gomes misses out through injury.

Meanwhile, at Goodison Park, Theo Walcott earns his debut for Everton backed by 25,000 new owners as Wayne Rooney drops to the bench.

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

    Kane vs Jones should be a epic battle next week.

    Azpi, Alonso and Jones is working well.

      I don't like the double expensive defender from same team. Limit yourself to 5 baps max

        tie for 3 bp's is possible

  3. Chirsbom

    27 from the back including Mahrez, Ill take it! Now for the remaining defender and 5 up front to get the big points!

    25/1 on Newcastle is just silly. I predict 0-1 😎

      i reckon a smidge under unfortunately
      but this hasn't been the high scoring bonanza of recent weeks

    4 in 4 clean sheets for united and 6 in 7 for chelsea

    Do you think the optimum formation might just be sneaking behind the back of the template?

    double chelsea, double united, double city defence

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Looks close. Tough fixtures for Utd I think

    2. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 7 Years

      Which two united defenders would you own

      1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
        • 6 Years

        DDG, Jones here

      2. Pacer.
        • 9 Years

          Same, Man U defence has smashed it for me all season

    Mahrez shouldn't get 3 BAPs.

    Could end Vardy 3, Mahrez/Maguire/Kasper 2.

  8. Sims
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Jammy last minute Mahrez ruining a perfectly decent GW 🙄 :rpll:

  9. drughi
    • 14 Years

    Mahrez owners went from 3 points to 11 points in the last minute of the game, incredible

  10. FPL ZB
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 7 Years

    Didn’t do Vardy to Firmino.. should I be happy right now or reckon Firm beats him?

  11. Mind över Mata
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Haven't taken any hits, but how do these look?

    A) Son -> Mahrez
    B) Richarlison and Christensen -> Albrighton / Ox and Alonso (-4)
    C) Son, Rich and Chris -> Mahrez, Ibe (or other 5.2 mid) and Alonso (-8)

  12. davies
    • 9 Years

    Lingard > Shaqiri?

  13. SW6
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Leeds go 2 nil down and have a player sent off, battle back to then be 3-2 ahead! Then concede 2 late goals to lose the game 😆 😆

    Serves them right for being Leeds 😉

    1. Konig Luther
      • 11 Years

      🙁

  14. JJeyy
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Monreal a good option?

    1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…

    2. Hazz

      Came off with a knock, so not yet, no.

  15. Stimps
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    DCL -> Vardy no brainer?

  16. ZeBestee
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Average = 25 points
    Top 10k = 24 points

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

      Lukaku and Monreal in dead teams

  17. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    6 years, 3 months ago

    Why does Jones have 29 now. Did he slip the ref a fiver down the tunnel?

    1. TomSaints
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      I think he got a clearance in the scramble at the end

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

        Thought Matic headed away. You're probably correct though.

  18. TheRealDog
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    I'm an idiot for not having United defence. Feel we've been lucky many times so I've stayed away. Maybe time to get Jones

  19. mrwinner
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    14 points so far, any good?

  20. GAMBIT
