The Dugout Discussion – Saturday

What a difference a week makes. Just seven days ago to the minute, we were right here totting up points from Sergio Aguero’s four-goal haul against Spurs. Today many Fantasy managers are left gazing on the Argentine’s two-point total at West Ham and regretting transfers and their armband decision. It’s now left to Saturday’s remaining fixtures to sweeten such a bitter pill.

Raheem Sterling will carry the can for some as Liverpool host a Hull City side nursing a lengthy injury list. Meanwhile, down on the south coast, Ronald Koeman’s revolutionsied Saints look to continue their climb up the table as they take on Stoke – Graziano Pelle and Dusan Tadic the headline acts on show.

Arsenal’s trip to Sunderland and West Brom’s Hawthorns meet with Crystal Palace will see some Fantasy managers relying on output from Danny Welbeck and Saido Berahino. Finally, in today’s tea-time kick-off, it may well fall to Gylfi Sigurdsson to save many a Gameweek total as the Swans host Leicester City.

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

    Are people forgeting how bad is WBA? I don't think Berahino can continue with this. Today he had luck with penalty.

            They weren't great goals but it was great play from a striker, first one was a cool finish, second one was scored simply from putting pressure on the keeper and chasing the ball down, you don't see rewards for this play in fantasy statistics but to the naked eye it was excellent play from him.

            Luck is part of this game, you have to ride it.

      I'm a Leeds fan, and I'm not sure I entirely disagree with you JK. Milanic was poor, but he probably never should have had it in the first place. Hockaday was a disaster, but once again should probably never have been given the chance to prove it. With any luck we just stick with Redfearn now.

      Toss up between Sanchez and haz for me. Think has to be Sanchez as will be losing welbeck.

    I went Aguero(c) today and I'm absolutely delighted he blanked. One happy hammer 😀

      lol, I've had the opposite happen, went to Tottenham vs Newcastle 2 years ago and Bale was far too good. Though it hurt I knew I was getting a big bandage of fpl points.

    Not happy with my team:

    Lloris, Murphy
    Lovren, Duff, Taylor, Coloccini, PVA
    Puncheon, Sigurdsson, Sterling, Downing, Tadic
    Costa, Pellè, Agüero

    That wild card button is looking pretty tempting right now... Should I?

      Knee-jerk. Have some faith, and beef up your MF and defence. Struggling to see where your 100m went to be fair 😛

          Get the likes of Baines/Jagielka/Sanchez/Hazard in if you can. You have lots of decent mid-range players but not enough premiums you can rely on every week (apart from up front)

          But I wouldn't WC (yet)

        Captaincy choice was not very clear this time around. Just about any of these options could have been a big swing and miss.

        But, you're right. I should burn my jersey.

    All these Sanchez posts are driving me crazy. Didn't really watch the Arsenal match.

    Have funds to do Sterling to Hazard next but 0.1m short of doing Sterling to Sanchez. No point in getting Sanchez in, right?
