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.

      Why would you do that? He's a live wire.

      1. Willis.
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Who else would I have benched out of Siggy, Tadic, Chadli, Fabregas, Sterling, Aguero and Costa?

        1. The Finnisher
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          You just said yourself you shouldn't have so...

    Mangala is getting OWNED

      He's been average in most games.

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

        i have a soft spot for him as he is in my French/Serie A FIFA Ultimate Team. But he hasn't been great for City

      2. Think Tank
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Dodged a bullet there.

  12. U-jin King™

    Dzeko off Please'!!

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

      Yeah! He's stifling Aguero.

  13. dudload

    Anyone have any idea who amalfitano was trying to reach in the crowd?

    1. sp4r3h
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Valencia's momentum carried him past the advertising boards. Think its the only reason he didnt get booked...

    2. FantaCity
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      His assister (valencia) who finished up in the seats

    3. Puzzle

      Could easily have got 2nd yellow. Lucky

  14. Joe Cabot

    So apparently Sky can't show the first 15 minutes of the El Clasico. Anyone know why?

    1. Obi Wan Elokobi
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Not allowed to show any football while the 3 O clocks are being played.

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

        Surely they are finished by 5pm?

        1. Obi Wan Elokobi
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Have to allow for fans to travel home.

    2. Timtastic03
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Not allowed to show any football till 515 on Saturdays

    3. maff
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Games can't be broadcast live between 2:45 and 5:15 in UK, the idea is to protect attendances throughout the leagues

    4. Calm
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Something in the contract Sky have with La Liga. They can't show the first 15 mins every week for the game on at that time.

      1. Konig Luther
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        nope.. check above

    Valencia torturing mangala

  16. Moin

    West Ham are playing good!!

  17. Make United Great Again
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    West Ham have been crying out for forwards like Sahko and Valencia for years

    1. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Valencia looks like a real handful, but has more about him than Carroll

      1. Make United Great Again
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        A lot more

  18. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Aguero fail

    1. OPTA FPL
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      lol

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

    Kun not the same FPL player when he has to play a bit deeper to accommodate Dzeko the Donkey.

    1. The Finnisher
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      are you even watching? If anything, Dzeko is the deepest of the two.

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

        I am watching. In HD.

        1. The Finnisher
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          City are just being outplayed, Aguero is clearly the furthest forward though.

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

        They are taking turns.

        1. The Finnisher
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Were you expecting him to just stand at the goal and wait for the ball? 🙂

    2. Billy Gilmore
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Dzeko's being to City what Balotelli has been for Liverpool. Ruining everything.

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

        Liverpool have bigger problems than Balo, though he is contributing to them.

  20. A Defender's Nightmare
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Milner should've started instead of Dzeko.

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

      this. Milner has been quality this season

    2. Gr3g
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      He will come one in second most likely

    3. Make United Great Again
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      This

  21. DRY PEANUT
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Yeah all blame Dzeko for Aguero playing rubbish

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

      Dzeko will be off at HT if it stays like this

  22. Would an idiot do that?
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    I love this season. Cue Costa hatrick

  23. VougieDipond
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    BFS does some great work in the transfer market. Was the same at Bolton. Got some very shrewd buys in.

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

      I imagine that Spurs and Liverpool are keeping a close eye on WHM strikers.

  24. Saint & Reevesy
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Sakho and Valencia working so hard.

  25. Ady87
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    My record with owning Aguero, given how many points he racks up, is quite astonishing, happens every season. Gonna have to take this one on the chin...again. Still just under an hour to go!

    Pelle to bag a brace now!

  26. Pork Pie Sausage Roll
    • 13 Years

    I actually picture Mark Noble to be Doosra

  27. SomewhatPleasing

    Will a fit Carroll get into this team?

    1. Pork Pie Sausage Roll
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      no

    2. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      he shouldn't

      Valencia and Sakho looking like a top pairing

  28. DRY PEANUT
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Arsenal could really do with Jenkinson right now

  29. SG8
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    assist for west ham goal?

    1. Mull
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Valencia

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Valencia

    3. Billy Gilmore
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Valencia

  30. Think Tank
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Toure needs to step up here and wrestle control of the game.

    Looks dreadful so far.
