Dugout Discussion – Man City vs Newcastle

Saturday ends at the Etihad Stadium where Manchester City bid to recover from their defeat at Anfield with three points over Newcastle United.

In Fantasy terms we have three of the top seven captain picks on show in the City attack.

Sergio Aguero leads the way with 581,000+ (10.3%) backers who will hope that he can deliver on an incredible record against the Magpies.

The Argentinian averages a goal or assist every 31 minutes against Newcastle in home matches, though he has just a single goal in his last four Gameweeks.

Kevin De Bruyne sports 178,000 armbands (3.1%) as he goes into the game with three assists in his last five; his last goal came back in Gameweek 18.

Meanwhile, Raheem Sterling – who was surprisingly sold by 108,000 ahead of Gameweek 24 – has the support of 152,000 managers as he bids to add to his tally of nine goals on home turf.

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

    Mahrez or Vardy?

      Mahrez

    Poor week for me so far, no UTD defence, no Kun. 22 points with Son, Firmino, Salah, Ox and Kane C to go, fingers crossed.

      Can only improve tomorrow.

        This is true 🙂

    Arnautovic tonight to catch the price rise, or should i wait ?

    1. Mondeo
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      worth waiting for the midweek game at this stage of the season

  4. Foozeball

    Was hoping to be able to assess Chamberlain against Swansea, but Lingard might drop in price before I get a chance to consider swapping Lingard to Chamberlain 🙁

    1. Robman
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      i transferred in Oxlade Chamberlain downgrading from Alli, to allow funds to move into Aguero (C). Worked out great! I think Chamberlain is still finding his feet, but for the money was a bit if a no-brainer, especially a vital cog in the Liverpool scoring machine. Lingard (who I also have) playing as a number 10 in a low scoring Utd team could easily be argued to make way for Chamberlain.

    What to do about Hazard? Is this the beginning of a return to status quo or is there better value to be found elsewhere?

    1. We Will Klopp you
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Lose him, better value elsewhere

    2. shortymak
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Id keep him for sure

    3. Wetdream
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Better value to be had but if you have him hold him for now

    4. the axolotl

      hazard routinely trolls me. he can be such a nightmare to own, and not own

    5. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Hold for now but Chelsea have a lot of fixtures coming up.

  6. We Will Klopp you
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Lingard owners what's your plan? I'm hearing from everywhere (didn't catch much of the match) that he's now a bad pick. I saw him have a shot blocked and he still has decent fixtures. Surely it's worth keeping for now when no-one else in the price-range has showed the potential to do as well as him?

    1. Thinkering like a Boss
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      lingard > willian?

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        I'm not even sure Willian will be in the starting 11 next gw. If he was nailed then he'd be a great pick. Essentially Chelsea's Son of last season.

    2. Foozeball
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Chamberlain could be a good bargain if he's nailed on. He's looked quality in his last few games, showing more consistency throughout the matches than he did while playing for Arsenal

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Will see how he does on Monday but I'd agree he has looked good. The problem is Lallana is lurking and I'm yet to be convinced he will be consistent with his returns.

        1. Foozeball
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          Been looking at Chamberlain as a potential replacement for Lingard, but want to see how he looks against Swansea first. Looking like I'll have to take a price drop (I got Lingard at 6.2) though 🙁

    3. Red Dagger ✪
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      He isn't very expensive so probably keep. Can't expect a player of that price to produce every week...

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Agreed

    4. Wetdream
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      2 bad games and people knee jerk.I think its worth hanging on to him for the 2 fixtures after Spurs then reassess unless he loses his place.

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Definitely seems the most sensible approach. Sanchez might actually aid him rather that hurt him but we'll see

    5. Rik Waller
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      He's not expensive so not an urgent problem. Biggest worry is how Sanchez affects his starts.

  7. badgerboy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    Baps out.

  8. camarozz

    Just realised iv spent all my Hazard money.

    Money always burning a hole in my pocket. Wouldnt buy him again tho. Such a troll.

  9. Dont_Win_Friends_With_Salah…

    How did Walcott look today? Is Rich to Walcott a good punt?

    1. Wetdream
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      My concern is Everton dont score many

      1. Homo Neanderthalensis
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Might do with Walcott on the wing and their new signing up front with Rooney in the hole.

  10. Ruud van Kane
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Which teams have a blank or could be affected in GW28?

    1. We Will Klopp you
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      City, Arsenal, Chelsea, United

  11. Freshy

  12. GXNG

    Anyone still going for Stones?

    1. Wetdream
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Dont think they have kept a cs since he came back

      1. Foozeball
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Stones technically received a CS when they played against Watford. City conceded after he was subbed off 😆

    2. We Will Klopp you
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      I'm hoping he gets dropped. He's ruining Ota with his Stonesness

  13. camarozz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Quick question.

    Could a problem with you're fone (the handset) actually have an effect on your data signal and use of WiFi??

    My provider says all is good their end but my fone keeps dropping out of signal /data. Iv changed to an updated SIM and it's still bad as ever

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Can you try a different phone?

    2. Homo Neanderthalensis
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Of course it can dude. Just like a bad wheel can effect the operation of a car.

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

      Very possible. Had the same problem with Ipad and basically it was the tx issue in the place where you place your simcard.

  14. Boydinho
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Leicester or Liverpool defence? Cashing in on Otamendi so go with Virgil or Maguire.

    1. Wetdream
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Wait till after mondays game and assess then

  15. Optimus.

    Feeling pretty sick after that Aguero hattrick.. I'm still locked out of my SKY FF account and Morata > Aguero (c) was to be my move.. I don't know the armband is on maybe Lukaku after the last day..

    1. Numb
      • 9 Years

      That's bad man.

    2. Numb

      Are you in any cash leagues?

        6 years, 2 months ago

        2

        It's not a nice feeling, had Hazard also.. I could have had a big green arrow

        1. Optimus.
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          I finally got through to SkyBet 10 minutes before the deadline after been on hold for 20 minutes and I asked them what the story was as I sent them my driving licence yesterday as proof of my address.. He said that I would have to send another proof of address (utility bill, bank statement) which of course I didn't have on hand

          I sent all in again about 1pm and still my account hasn't been verified, joke! As it stands I don't have Kane for tomorrow!

          1. Numb
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 2 months ago

            This system is a bit of a problem when it comes to a game where changes are needed on a daily basis at certain times

            1. Optimus.
              • 13 Years
              6 years, 2 months ago

              How much will Aguero score with the motm award also.. 25-30 points? Ugh and double with (c)

    3. The Knights Template

    Alli -> Mahrez should wait for tomorrow?

    1. trinzoo

      I did it now.

    2. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          Because another one of your players could get hurt tomorrow, and you will have wished you had traded the injured dude instead of the dude you traded.

          1. Rover
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 2 months ago

            To be fair, Alli>Maheen even for a hit is a good transfer so it shouldn’t matter so much

            1. Rover
              • 7 Years
              6 years, 2 months ago

              *mahrez

            • 9 Years
            6 years, 2 months ago

            Course it could - it depends how likely you reckon that is. On the flip side, Mahrez is guaranteed to be more expensive tomorrow.

  22. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
    • 7 Years

    How is Willian not nailed. Excellent player.

    1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
      • 10 Years

      Agreed.

    2. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      I think he is nailed for next 3 surely. Conte needs 3-4-3 to beat these crap teams

    3. Lazaretti
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Willian played really well in the beginning of the season but he was really unlucky not to produce any points. Then Hazard came back and Willian started to sit on the bench.

  23. No Totti No Party

    Best Christensen replacement ?

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Alonso

  24. LǝgleSs e|even

    Honest opinions on Alonsos performance today please.
    Did he get anywhere near scoring or assisting?
    Thinking of downgrading to Azpi otherwise.

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Not as attacking as he normally is.

    2. Bragazeti
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Wasn't as threatening today. You may want him in again the moment you transfer him out though.

  26. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Thoughts on the following for a hit dependant on how the Liverpool game goes?

    Gomez to Jones (Gomez rotation with TAA)
    Lingard to Chamberlain

    1. liiusions
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Gomez(hud) to Jones(spurs) for -4?

    2. JohnnyMagrinho
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Not much wrong with that. Although I'd throw in a mention for Shaqiri and Choupo-Moting.

        Stoke have favourable fixtures and while I'm a big Ox fan and liking his recent performances, over the next few weeks I feel the Stoke players will have more chance of getting higher returns than the Ox.

        Happy to be proven wrong though seeing as I am a Liverpool fan...

    3. The HurriKane
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      I need Mahrez in my team but I´m 0.1 short to do Lingard to him, and probably he will rise.

      Pickford Adrián
      Alonso Ota Dunk Kenny Ogbonna
      Salah Sterling Arnie Lingard Albrighton
      Kane Firmino Quaner

      What would you do to get Mahrez in for Lingard?

      1. Teror
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Dunk > Chillwell

    4. Rust Cohle
