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.

    Pellegrini to take the blame if City lose this. He wasted an hour accommodating Dzeko.

    Unlucky Kun captains. My rivals have Sterling and Welbeck captain and non of them own even Kun. This was the week to make huge reshuffle. But not this time. Unlucky for Kun owners to see him with a blank. He had tones of chances

    +1

    Sorry guys, this is my fault...

    Early KO captain curse coming up with Aguero perhaps? West Ham have been pretty decent of late...watching the game with him captain is going to be frustrating, I just know it.

    1. A Defender's Nightmare

      Scored 4 goals last GW in an early kick-off. More like bandwagon curse.

    2. Gr3g

      Yet you have Capt. Aguero

    3. UKG

      4 goals last week they said..... Just glad most are in the same boat in my ML.

    Brought in Aguero for a hit. Sold Costa. 😡

    1. Randy_Marsh

      Me 2 🙁

    2. emperikal

      I somehow resisted to do the same. Still not comfortable watching this though!

        Very unlucky today. 🙁

      you won't be alone this week.

      Knowing my luck Ulloa will bang 3 in, whilst Pelle does nothing

      no worries u are not alone. there is even a hot topic on why costa->aguero -4 is justifiable

    A Captain fail is easily the worst part of this game 🙁

    1. AlCapwnUK
      • 10 Years

      definitely. i'd now take 0-0 draws in every single remaining game just to cover my bases

      The curse of the early kick off strikes

    3. RabMac

      I've failed every week this season. 🙁

    Right. Was gonna wait 'til 5ish to start the drinking, but I can't hold out anymore.

  16. SC not pearls before swine
    • 13 Years

    Players I've sold this year and their score the week after: Jovetic (Brace) Costa (Brace) Mata (goal) Hazard (goal) Silva (goal). Only losing Adebayor and suspended Rooney hasn't hurt me. New rule: I'm never selling a player unless he's definitely hurt or suspended. C'mon Alexis!!!

    1. Van Klinkert Delarosa

      Try Balotelli next. 🙂

  17. johnbarnes

    I detest Silva. I detest Silva. This little tw@t is the most frustrating player to own. There's nothing worse than holding on to a player through blanks, finally selling him and seeing him score big fpl points.

    1. SC not pearls before swine
      • 13 Years

      I still love the man. Even though he hurts me so bad 🙁

  18. Bellerinmondo

    Need hazard to get it off the ballboy

  19. MJ6987

    9 years, 7 months ago

    Aguero should have got at least a brace here. No complaints.

  20. DRY PEANUT

    City handing the title to Chelsea on a silver platter.

    1. Licky
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Might as well give it to Chelsea now. Nobody is going to catch them.

  25. Give The Todd Some Love

    Why do City keep crossing it…

    They have no height

  26. FPL Daniel

    Navas was shit today. I really don't get it why he started before Milner

  27. No Arsene Around
    • 11 Years

    Never captain Aguero in week after CL

  28. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Aguero on 0 points in Ultimate, at least I have Silva too

  29. The Chosen One...
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Look on the bright side. Aguero could be on -2 and suspended for 3 games

  30. Mull
