Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – West Ham vs Man City

We have to face it – after the momentous points bonanza of Gameweek 8, this weekend may well be a bit of a comedown.

Six Saturday fixtures will have the task of setting us up for another round of three-figure hauls and, ironically, it all begins with last weekend’s leading man on show as Man City crash Upton Park to take on West Ham.

Sergio Aguero and City will surely face an uncomfortable ride in East London, with the resurgent Hammers giddy at the prospect of facing the champions whilst sitting in fourth place in the table. Fantasy managers will, nonetheless, be anticipating and expecting the Aguero show to rumble on through the home defence: the Argentine sports the armband for many and we’ll look for at least one goal from him amongst the huff and puff of today’s early kick-off.

Following that, we’ve just a quartet of three o’clock kick-offs, before Swansea host Leicester in a gentle-looking evening clash to see us out.

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

    Is Yaya back on penalties now he's playing?

    1. Bolivian Seaman

      no

    2. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Nope. Kun is peno taker

    3. Billy Gilmore
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      No, Aguero's always been on pens

      1. Obi Wan Elokobi
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Yaya took the majority of them last year.

        1. The Finnisher

        2. Billy Gilmore
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          That's because Aguero was always injured/subbed. Why do you think everyone on here said how lucky he was?

      Nope, Agureo takes them when he on the pitch

    GRRRRRR

    That's why I shouldn't look.

    My ML rival and I think too much alike, same Captain and Vice-Captain this week.

    Only bright spot is he benched Costa for some daft reason (why wouldn't you leave him in on the off chance he starts?)

  12. Gr3g

    Will Barca unleash the rat today?

    1. Heels_Over_Head

      yup

    2. John Obi Wan Mikel
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Confirmed starting

    3. DRY PEANUT
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      starting apparently

    4. Obi Wan Elokobi
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Jordi Alba usually plays

    5. Gr3g
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Should be a great match to watch with lots of goal!

  14. Bolivian Seaman
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Dzeko off-form

  15. Spoox777
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Is it worth me weakening my defense from:

    Clyne / Shawcross / Ward / Kaboul / Hutton

    to

    Wisdom / Duff / Ward / Kaboul / Hutton

    so i can have a front 3 of:

    Costa / Aguero / Pelle

    It would only cost me a -4 point hit. I have to lose both Clyne & Shawcross to have enough money to bring back Costa.

    1. Obi Wan Elokobi
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Wait till the games have finished before you do anything.

      1. Spoox777
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        I won't transfer now just in case of injuries but if there are any price rises it would cost me more than a -4 to get Costa back (which i don't want to do)

    2. AlCapwnUK
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      lose shawcross, keep clyne
      can you save the money anywhere else?
      Wisdom/Duff/Ward/Kaboul/Hutton is ok - but Clyne would be starting my FPL team every week which can't be said for Wisdom, Duff, Ward, or Hutton

      1. Spoox777
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Wanted to keep Clyne but it's not possible for me to bring Costa back in (unless i lose Pelle. I used my FT this week Costa>Pelle) I've regretted not getting Pelle sooner so would like to keep but i need Costa back in my team.

    3. 24hrstudent
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Wait till later in the week particularly if Costa is going to keep dropping (to my annoyance as an owner)

    How come all the managers seem to have too short ties nowadays?

    1. Heels_Over_Head
      • 10 Years

      fear of the schlong tie

    All due respect to sakho and all new signings, song is absolutely bossing midfield lately.
    Super signing.

    1. Evs
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I agree.

      I'm surprised one of the so called Big Clubs didn't go to for him.

      1. Granville
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        He's in between. Not good enough for big clubs, too good for smaller clubs.

        1. Lord Flashheart
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Better than flamini by a mile

            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Yes he is better than Flamini

        2. Cheggers v2
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          he's better than most united midfielders hands down

        3. The Finnisher
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Is he though? He'd get into every PL starting side bar Man City and Chelsea. Better than Capoue/Flamini/Arteta/Blind/Gerrard etc.

          1. Lord Flashheart
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
