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.

    Glad I got my captain fail out of the way. Feel sorry for the 40% who have still got theirs to come.

    If you HAD to pick one of Dzeko or Sturridge until the end of the season, who would you go for?

    1. HP.
      • 10 Years

      Sturridge no question.

    This time around its Aguero owners behind the sofa. How times change.

    how many pts u think that Pelle C + Baines would score ?

    1. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Pelle 22 Baines -3 total 19.

    1. gbpearce - AMERICAN DYCHO
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Me 😉
      Pelle the captain!!!

    2. Wouter
      • 9 Years

      Me. Still wanted him to pick up points though.

    3. sully29

      Yep.

      Me

  10. The Finnisher

    I hope Costa scores plenty

    1. Billy Gilmore
      • 12 Years

      Seriously, it's written in the stars.

  11. Kuyt Dirkula +42

    Swopped the armband from pelle to kun at the last minute.
    D'oh!

  12. Mull

    9 years, 7 months ago

    Correct decision, bad result. Onto the next one.

  13. Kerrazy
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Oh well unless Chamber scores a goal and a cleanie. This 4 pts hit to bring Kun in is wasted.

  14. RubeRx

    Where did 5 min of stoppage time come from?

    1. Mílanista
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      The 4th official had Aguero(c)

      1. RubeRx
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Something like that. Or the big bettors trying to set up these matches knew they were getting fked. If you think this does not happen every week then you are just naive. Incredible.

    Fellow non-Aguero owners 🙂

    Surely it's a stupid move bringing in Costa for Welbeck when Arsenal have Burnley next week.

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      If that's the only way to get Costa, no. I'd rather have him if he;s fit.

  17. camarozz

    Gonna be a lower scoring game week

  23. Jimbo123

    IRONS!!!

  24. Debauchy

    All Kun Captainers - looking forward to Lol at all alternatives ?

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

      They certainly can't score less than Aguero.

  25. mipola
    • 11 Years

    Aguero blank.This week is off to a great start!

    1. Pablitto
      • 14 Years

      Should Pelle and Tadic bank too the gw will turn real great

  26. Kowalski
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    I can't believe Kun didn't punish me!! Was so close to getting him in. Come on Pelle & Costa!!!

    -_-

  28. Parm

    42 points for Aguero(c) over two weeks isn't too shabby...

  29. AlCapwnUK
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    At least there was a 0.3 rise for the new Aguero owners. At 12.6 he's hard to get in for non-owners

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

      keep tell that to ur self it's all about pts not TV

      1. John Obi Wan Mikel
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Yes. And you won't be able to get the points that Aguero gets because he's too pricey to bring in now, that's the point he's making

      2. AlCapwnUK
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        i've had him a few weeks, but i think long term he's going to be one of the top scorers, and people are going to want him in

  30. MJ6987
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Most people who had Aguero cpt would surely have captained him again this week, therefore over the two weeks, not a bad result!

    1. MJ6987
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      It the people that didn't have him last week and took a hit to get him this week that I feel for...

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

      Many would have brought in for hits...
