Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Saturday

Saturday continues with a quartet of matches, featuring Arsenal and an array of budget and mid-price Fantasy talent.

The Gunners trip to a resolute Aston Villa will likely be the headline act on show: Arsene Wenger’s men will look to recover from the midweek Champions League defeat to Dortmund against Paul Lambert’s resurgent midlands outfit. Alongside that, we’ve an enthralling encounter at the Liberty Stadium as Swansea and Southampton prepare to press and weave patterns around the South Wales pitch.

Elsewhere, Alan Pardew will look to extend his stay of execution at Newcastle via a winnable home clash with Hull City, while Burnley go in search of their first three points back in the top flight as Gus Poyet’s erratic Sunderland unit pull up to Turf Moor.

We may well be discussing some very meagre Fantasy points tallies by 4.50, as we prepare to make our way to East London to check in on West Ham’s progress, as they host Brendan Rodgers’ title pretenders, Liverpool.

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

    To be fair to Newcastle, Rivière has been shite for them.

      True. If your striker doesn't click then it makes it hard to win games

    Did anyone actually see the Soton goal/assist? Just Pellè was awarded a phantom assist last week too.

    1. Tim Canterbury
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Assist on FPL & beeb

      1. RyanC
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks! Two sources is good enough for me.

    2. Gimli son of Gloin
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Yep. I noticed it was Pelle as the goal was scored. No doubt.

  6. Mile Plankton - Myth and Ch…
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    My bench is Collo, Bojan and Yoshida. Need all 11 to play.

  7. Pooodle

    Taylor over Clyne was correct decision. Keep doing the right thing and eventually rewards will follow

    1. Pepin - RIP Absinthe
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Why have you cursed Ramsey 😡 😉

    2. Reedy
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      But it wasn't 🙂

      1. Twelve years a slave
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Ramsey no longer an option imo too deep and off form

        1. Reedy
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          I wasn't talking about Ramsey...just thought Saints had the edge for a cleanie today.

    3. Mull
      • 12 Years

      +100
      Play the game a 1000 times and Naylor outscores Clyne in most.

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        That's debatable.

    4. Mílanista
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      50/50 decision that one.

    5. Pedram
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Fantasy doesn't reward logic

      1. Twelve years a slave
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        It does eventually

    6. Tim Canterbury
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Soton were always gonna score...

    7. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      iT WAS? Damn u Bony !! The right decision is to have only 3 defenders and get over with it. I am fed up with benched pts

    8. Gimli son of Gloin
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I went with Clyne over Taylor.. only decision I had to make.

  9. Lucy.
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    If Cisse can stay fit, he could be Pardew's saviour.

    1. Billy Gilmore
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Yeah, if he can get back to anywhere near 2011/12 then he'll be brilliant for them.

      1. Lucy.
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        He has the potential indeed. More than can be said for Rivière.

        1. Billy Gilmore
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Yeah, Riviere is gash.

  10. Bobby
    • 14 Years

    Never benching clyne again. Idiot.

    1. another bad start
      • 9 Years

      Whammy

    2. 50shades of o'shea

      Never learn

    3. another bad start
      • 9 Years

      Is he on for a triple aswell

  11. 50shades of o'shea
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Clyne on for 3 BPS

  12. thorvaldsson
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Shout out again to the big homie Duff for the 3rd week in a row locked down that clean sheet.

  13. wycombewanderers
    • 11 Years

    Love playing Pieter's and green over Bertrand and Forster... Woops

  14. Zombie
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Enough is enough...if Saints keep a cleanie today, I am doubling up on Clyne + Ivanovic->Bertrand

    1. another bad start
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Thinkin the same

  15. 123thro
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Costa on 58% ownership. Anyone know Who is the highest owned player in FPL history? Cheers 🙂

    1. Pepin - RIP Absinthe
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Mark said on the ScoutCast that Suarez got to 65% last year but I can't remember

      1. Billy Gilmore
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        I think he came back too late to reach those levels. Too many dead teams by then. Yaya and Ramsey were equally massive.

        1. Smarty Pants
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Suarez' highest ownehship was around 55% at some point, he definitely never reached 60%. I think Ramsey reached 60% for a couple weeks before he got injured.

      2. 123thro
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        I actually cant remember Suarez getting above 50% but maybe (probably) I am wrong! 🙂

    2. Judas
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      what was Suarez on last year?

      1. 123thro
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        I never thought he got above 50%, but am most likely wrong! 😀

    3. Andy1
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Probably Suarez or cron

    4. super zlatan
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Suarez

    5. Bolivian Seaman
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Will have been henry or moreso with cr7

    6. Lawrø
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Suarez got 60%-ish last year

    7. Les Bleus
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Ramsey last year was 60 something

    8. Green Arrow
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      What was Suarez's highest ownership last yr?

      1. 123thro
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Thought it was under 50% myself. But Im pretty sure that is wrong! 🙂

  16. McSauce

    Might be time to remove Rambo

    1. Joga Bonito®
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Was thinking this myself, so many other options at his price.

  17. Joga Bonito®
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Bertrand, Mannone or Pelle looking likely for any baps so far?

  18. AlCapwnUK
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Team Duff and Diouf

  19. FPL Notebook (John)
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    There'll be a lot of Swansea defenders played with Southampton ones benched.
    Tough to predict

    1. Judas
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Aye. I went with Taylor and Forster. Benched Clyne.

      Also had Pelle and Siggy so had to bench someone. However I played him over Wilson :/

  20. SPorting
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Wanyama sits on my bench and smiles knowingly at me.

    I applaud him and smile back.

    We are both at peace with the world.

    1. SouthCoastSaint
      • 12 Years

  21. amol
    • 9 Years

    1. AlCapwnUK
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      they have great fixtures, he has great form. i think he could be worth a place in a squad, even with a blank against united

  22. Total Foot 5 - romario 11
    • 10 Years

          • 12 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          I got a Burnley defender like he said.

          But I benched him... (justified)

    3. BenDavies
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

    4. HippyChopper -A Milford man
