Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Saturday

Despite the lack of an early kick-off, Saturday still delivers six Premier League encounters, with five three o’clock clashes followed by Norwich City’s home meet with West Ham this evening. While that match is lacking assets to interest Fantasy managers, this afternoon’s games seem laden with points, particularly at Anfield where Liverpool face lowly Fulham with armbands clasped firmly around the biceps of Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge.

With Chelsea facing West Brom at the Bridge, the Southampton rearguard up against Hull at St Mary’s and Romelu Lukaku locking horns with the Palace defence, Fantasy managers should be looking at a steady flow of returns from today’s events to take them into Sunday’s big fixtures.

Our Twitter stream is carrying all the latest team news prior to kick-off, while the Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open to furnish those who like some real-time reaction.

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

      I'm glad I had Hazard before the Oscar bandwagon hit or would have definitely bought him over Haz

    So for those people who have captained Suarez and also have Aguero. Do you want Aguero to score more points than Suarez knowing that it will boost your position overall or do you suspect that may of your mini league rivals will have captained Aguero and it will set you back against them?

      The OR is always the most important issue.

      i stopped paying attention pretty much immediately after you started talking. but that's mainly cos i know only around eleven words and they're all synonyms for fellatio

      As long as he doesn't outscore him it's all good!

    Enjoy the good times when they last.

    You'll soon be stuck with a captain fail, masses of benched points and a gloating casual in your ear.

      Captain choice has been really easy the last few weeks

      1. timski8000

        I like the look of Remy (c) next week.

        Pretty sure that's what I'm doing.

      People always enjoy the good times, that is why they are called good times. Jesus quack out some proper advice!

    Mignolet - Marshall
    Williams - Coleman - Ivanovic - Murner - Collins
    Coutinho - Ramsey - Oscar - Townsend - Ravel
    Aguero - Sturridge - Benteke

    Sturridge to Suarez, sell Coutinho or Oscar?

    1. Evans
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Yes ... Oscar

    Chances of Vidic minutes? Someone in my ML captained him 😯

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      he has to start

    2. Heydudes13
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      I would get Ward off the bench if he doesn't play. Guaranteed starter.

    3. @FPLMason
      • 12 Years

      How drunk was he?

    4. Tobiathan
      • 12 Years

      I doubt you have to worry about the long term prospects of somebody captaining Vidic... especially against Arsenal.

    bentekkers and lukakus star falling?

    1. Tadic is the new Eriksen
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      too early to judge benteke I think, if he still hasn't hit form after 2/3 more games then i would start being concerned

    2. Cheeseoid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Benteke price still rising. Hasn't really worked out for me so far though

    3. Jax
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      nah

    4. timski8000
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Benteke looks to be suffering from the absence of Agbonlahor and Weimann, I'm watching rater than buying at the minute.

  9. conorm101

    Long term who would you prefer? Hazard or Yaya?

    1. Evans
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Neither but hazard

      1. conorm101
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        neither? would would you have instead?

        1. Evans
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 7 months ago

          Walcott or silva

    2. Cheeseoid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Hazard

    3. Tadic is the new Eriksen
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

    so silva t hazard it is then ..... good fixtures regardless of cleanies

  14. Twelve years a slave

    Have to decide on Barkely yo

    either Snod or Morrison

    Snod has been tempting me for a week , his price fallen as far as going to go and todays goal could be the turning point

    1. Christina.
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Good fixtures as well.

      Sessgnon + Snoddy for me.

    2. ccc
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      Morrison for me.

      1. ccc
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 7 months ago

        Snodgrass has only scored 1 goal this entire season. Ravel has more potential imo and is cheaper making him the better choice

    @ Megatron - just seen your post. Ultimately I make my own decisions, but I enjoy bantering ideas around with others first. I'm not sure why this offends you so much. After all, this is a fantasy football forum.

    GW12 is going to be pretty tricky. Have 2 ft's.

    Mignolet, Boruc
    Baines, Terry, Dawson, Clyne, Burner
    Ozil, Ramsey, Lallana, Siggy, Barkley
    Suarez, Aguero, Lukaku

    I'm looking to ship Siggy, Barkley, Lukaku. Also my defence has some bad matchups. The only one that doesn't is Terry but Chelsea aren't getting cs.

    Thinking of going - Lukaku out - Remy in
    - Siggy out - Cabaye in
    Or should I do something else

    Opinions appreciated.

  17. ccc

    Barkley > Ravel? Yay or nay? Would let me do Ramsey > Walcott once Walcott returns and if Ramsey finally loses his starting position.
