Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Monday

Nine down, one to go as Swansea welcome Hull to the Liberty and hand us some Monday night football to sink our teeth into. Michael Laudrup’s side have offered Fantasy managers a strong source of points at both ends of the pitch in front of their own fans – three of the last four home games have produced a clean sheet and three goals or more for the Welsh outfit:

Jonjo Shelvey’s 14-point haul in the previous Gameweek saw the former Liverpool man earn himself over 161,000 new owners prior to the weekend deadline, though with Curtis Davies back on board after serving a one-match suspension, the Tigers will be hoping to turn in a resilient display.

The big news is that Michu is fit and available to lead the line for the hosts after recovering from ankle and knee problems. He replaces Alvaro Vazquez up top in one of three changes by Laudrup, as Gerhard Tremmel and Nathan Dyer come in for Michel Vorm and Alex Pozuelo. Robbie Brady drops out for the Tigers after a series of disappointing displays since returning from injury.

As always, our Dugout Discussion chatroom remains open right through to the final whistle.

      Hazard if you can stretch it, alternatively Oscar as he could be a massive bargain when he's back playing, same can be said with Silva

        Cheers Kolsåstrollene !

        I was leaning that way also - rotation being the only cause for hesitation

        And to think Oscar and Hazard were virtually inseparable at one point

        There may be a bit of value in such a move

      Would be nice if u could fit hazard in there somehow but his price gone up a fair bit now. Schurlle might get a good amount of gametime after that brace.. silva could be a great option now that his coming back also

        Of the two, Hazard & Oscar I could only afford Oscar -

        Hazard has rapidly gained in value

    Gerrard to Redmond (-4) now
    Ivanovic Jedinak to Burner Silva (-4) next week?

    Burner can be Merte as well.
    But was thinking the extra 2m ITB might be handy to uprade Ramsey to Wally in the future. Yay or just keep Ramsey and get Merte?

    Also I can avoid the 2nd hit by doing Ravel to Silva directly. And the Ivan to Burner/Merte the week after. But having a decent bench with good fixtures during busy Xmas period might be worth the 4 points?

    Seems that the season has reached that point where the same 7-10 players are found consistently in most teams, certainly those who follow this site. Even the cheap rotating midfielders are limited to the likes of Barkley, Amalfitano, Morrison, etc.

    So... here are some good differentials moving forward, especially over the busy Christmas period where rotation kicks in:

    Shane Long - guaranteed starts, good fixtures and has been in some form of recent! Current ownership of 2.4% stands out as someone very different especially if you want to go slightly lighter on the striker line and spend the money in midfield.

    Peter Crouch - similar to Shane Long he's flying very low under the radar but with less success this far. Stoke have shown they will be playing more attacking football and Crouch is usually on the finishing end.

    Chris Brunt - now that he's back playing regular football he could benefit with West Broms nice run of fixtures and is regularly on set pieces. 0.9% ownership is surprising and at 5.0 is value for a regular starter.

    Adam Lallana - although he's got reasonably high ownership at 17% Lallana has proven he can score against quality opposition and regularly starts. Currently 7th for points in the midfield I'm surprised he doesn't acquire more owners given his guaranteed starts and ability to get into good spots, and is supported by a team that are playing positive football under the gaffer.

    Paulinho - once Spurs find their straps (which they will when their large roster kick in over the busy period)I can see Paulinho starting regularly. He's played all but 30 minutes of the season and has scored twice. Recently he's been getting in more attacking spots and if the strikers could finish he would have half a dozen more assists to his name. 8.3% ownership is low enough for a differential and will benefit when Spurs turn their season around.

    Caulker - currently sitting on 4.7% ownership I'm amazed more haven't snapped this guy up for 5.1. Cardiff have a pretty good run of fixtures and are looking more solid in defense. His penchant for getting his big scone on the end of set pieces has seen him score twice already. No rotation risk he could be a good alternative to the likes of Terry, Evans, McAuley, Walker, Lovren, etc.

    Gabbidon - starting to acquire more ownership, but Crystal Palace have good fixtures and form, under Pulis. Don't underestimate the defensive resolve that Pulis brings, although Palace have started looking good at both ends. 8.1% ownership and costing 4.2 he's a bargain. Fixtures aren't great but he rotates well with Everton and Norwich defenders.

    Schurrle - ok so this is a bandwagon knee jerk but having watched him against Stoke this guy is the real deal, amazing skills, quick and finishes well. I think he'll see a lot more game time and Chelsea will be rotating Oscar, Hazard, Lampard, etc. When he plays he will get involved. 0.7% ownership and under an injury cloud he's not ripe this week but if Jose starts getting him on the pitch more often he could be a great differential!

    That's all for now!

      Long & Crouch aren't options with Lukaku performing so well
      Brunt is played Reverse OOP at times
      Lallana isn't a differential
      Paulinho is inconsistant in a low scoring team

      I was commenting to a friend the other day about the new FPL Ultimate format.

      Having the foresight to chose Rambo should be rewarded with more than the first few GWs of low ownership.

      With weekly free transfers (and the possibility of additional signings at a hit) means that people like yourself don't get the full benefit. With the 15 man squad format, and just a transfer window in Jan, the experience will reward people who do spot a bargain far more than the current system where non-football folk just buy the next hot property.

        Sorry, I don't like to put people down when they have put effort into something. I did comment above a summary to break down why I didn't think they were great punts.

        In short all of the above have low ownership, are good value for money, and have the potential to score well over the next few weeks with potential high scores to match.

        Jenkinson is nailed on until Sagna is back
        Az has played the last few weeks
        Evans is first choice centre back - though will be rotated at times.
