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.

    With the exception of Sanchez owners, seems everyone is going to have a pretty low score. 15-25 sound about right?

      cheers lads!

      considering wc-ing to fix
      sterling - LIV seem hapless without Stugde
      siggy - out of form, tough fixtures, now injured
      cahill - not worth the money. i'd rather have ivan if i want che def. or look somewhere else if short on $
      bego - underperforming
      chester - touch fixtures, unpredictable CS... kinda useless
      marney - far better options there if u spend 0.5 extra
      moore - slim chances of CS

      Enough reasons to WC?

      not sure whether to include welbeck in the mix as well. fixture is great, but he's been disappointing.

      Seeing how this GW has gone so far I'm quite sure he'll score a Brace tomorrow.

    Sterling -> Tadic
    Welbeck -> Pelle -4?

    I can afford exactly but Pelle rises tonight ... :s

      Just do Sterling to Mane/Eriksen

        Eriksen is certainly tempting...

    Sterling & Sigurdsson -> Sanchez & Chadli for -4

        Got money tied up in Sterling and Siggy but they seem to be on the wane...

    Ha!

    Completely forgot I made Sanchez captain in UFPL.

    That is going to be tasty 🙂

      Both look great. I'd try to squeeze in Eriksen instead of Chadli though

    Think a simple sterling to hazard or ramsey would be okay for me instead of tearing up my team for sanchez
