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.

    61.7% in top 10k captained Aguero so that definitely eases the pain a little.

      You should be more afraid of Baines 🙂

        I brought Baines in and was going to (c) him until I bricked it last minute and went for Kun. Damn my backbone.

    Why has Sam Allardyce got a Gents toilet sign on his lapel?

    You have to admire the way Big Sam has changed that team around.
    If Koeman was not doing so well he would be a shoe in for manager of the year

  13. Randy_Marsh

    Hoping Pelle blanks now and Costa

  14. AIRMILES

    I don't understand. I'm looking at Aguero in my team and it's only showing 4 points for Aguero. Where are the other 20 points?

    lesson learnt, stick to your gut feeling

    1. Venom Snake
      • 10 Years

      So much this. Never wanted to captain him but the risk was too high

      1. Somalion
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Aye, had a last minute desire to swap to Sterling but realistically Kun should have had a brace barring some real shit luck.

      2. El Zurdo
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Where you see the risk? With 20% ownership...

      Works only when I dont listen - Last week gut was Welbeck over Kun !!! This week was Siggy -
      Went with head .

      What your gut say ?

  16. DRY PEANUT

    I think it's fair to say Dzeko won't be starting next few weeks

    Not a good start... 2 players used including Aguero (C) with only 5pts to show... how my mighty team has fallen!

    At least I still have Andre Schurrle to come

  18. Debauchy

    Read Kun Cpt in 62 % of top 10 k No huge drop then - take it on the chin

    1. Galfadez
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Unless you're ranked 400k and about to watch a thousand casuals who've captained Jagielka or something pass you by

  19. Klinsmannia

    This time last week as a Kun (c) owner I was on cloud 9. I'm subterranean at this point this week.

    Hope Sunderland get pumped 8-0 again today, with Sanchez involved in all the goals. 😉

    Dodged a massive bullet not getting Aguero in! That makes me feel so much better after missing a lot of points last week. Come on Pelle!
