The Dugout Discussion

Seven three o’clock kick-offs with Chelsea, United, Liverpool and Spurs all enjoying home comforts – the scene is set for a bonanza of Fantasy points. While such a scenario has a habit of smacking us round the chops, we’re remaining optimistic and have opened our Dugout Discussion chatroom ready to soak up your views as the points pour in.

It’s safe to say that the Old Trafford clash between United and Bolton will carry the biggest expectation amongst the Fantasy fraternity. Wayne Rooney and Nani will go into the game with armbands stacking up, while Tottenham’s attacking talent will again carry our hopes as they face up to Wolves at the Lane.

Good luck for the Gameweek, we’ll see you on the other side with the Knee Jerk.

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

        Maybe they did fall out?

    Ok so my plan is to plan my wildcard team and then play the prices to raise a bit of extra cash until the end of the week and then add my pre-prepared wildcard team in? Good idea? Thoughts appreciated 🙂

    Repost, it was right at the bottom 🙁

    RVP, Ada: Out!

    Aguero, Studge: In!

    Am I crazy? I think both are set for price falls, and I love City’s fixtures. It also gives me money to improve my sub-par defence.

    WC currently has

    Lindegaard, Sorensen

    Richards, Skrtel, Enrique, BAE, Kelly

    Silva, Nani, Dempsey, Sessegnon, Bale

    RVP, Yakubu, Fletcher

    some current players are in for hope of double price rises. yak, bae, and hopefully bale as well will rise once more for profit before selling.

    by the deadline it should be

    Lindegaard, Sorensen

    Richards, Shawcross, Turner, Santon, Kelly

    Nani, Silva, Dempsey, Sessegnon, Cabaye

    RVP, Aguero, Sturridge ---- monitoring silva and sturridge

    i could seriously upgrade the back end of my defense if i go cheap alternative to sturridge--getting helguson or fletcher intead. Opinions?

      A little bit, often the best player on the pitch but doesn't always get the FPL points to go with it. That he's scored 10 points more than Modric in almost 250 minutes less gametime and it's his first season suggests that he could still become a very good option.

      Evans, Bale and Morison helped me get to a healthy 29 points. Senderos, Nani, Dempsey and Ada all disappointed though

    As requested here is the first of Rooneys "assists" slowed down.

    Welbeck may have nudged it, the ball seems to change by the slightest of angles. No definitive close ups though unfortunately

      Missed Welbecks touch, he backed out last sec when Scholes called for it. That's why it didnt change direction.
      Seeeee thaatttt now????
