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.

    City needs Milner. Surprised they didn't start him against a physically strong team like west ham.

    Let's face it Aguero won't score 4 every week will be happy with a goal and an assist today.

    I can see Aguero coming off at HT if it's still 1-0

      You used to be funny. What happened?

    Should have captained Pelle like my gut instinct told me to.

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

      feeling similar. my closest ML rival has Costa captained - almost want Costa to stay on the bench even though I own him

      1. Lizard Lips
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Same!!

    Didn't the West Ham supporters want Big Sam to have the old spanish archer last season 😆 ?

    If this game is teaching me anything it is to follow my gut when it comes to captaincy choices, rather than the stats!

    1. JedJez
      • 12 Years

      Had Pelle all week, but I am easily led it seems, still an hour to go - bags of time for the game to turn on its head

  7. Lizard Lips
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Is the player who was fouled before a free kick goal get the assist?

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 11 Years

      Yes

  8. Make United Great Again

    Aguero is so good at that.

  9. Qubit

    Glad Ive got Sakho (had him for a while now) but on this showing I really shouldn't have benched him, certainly wont be doing it again.

    1. Red Devil Swede
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      He'll score for sure, he's on fire.

  10. Give The Todd Some Love
    • 12 Years

    Oh go away Owen, that was a foul

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

      So obviously too

  11. Calm
    • 9 Years

    Cmon Aguero, take one of these free kicks yourself!

  12. Would an idiot do that?

    Come on toure

  15. Saint & Reevesy

    Toure top right

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

    Should have sold Toure for big bucks last season

    1. Gr3g

      You know FPL has nothing to do with real football and players qualities tight?

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

        I know, I just don't think he is the same player this season. If Aguero gets injured long term though, he's a great attacking option. With Fernandinho, Fernando, Milner and Lampard I reckon they could have let him go. Would have done their Financial Fair Play a world of good

  17. Nabs Kebabs

    what has happened to yaya

  19. Obi Wan Elokobi

    It was inevitable that once everyone brought Aguero in he'd do nothing.

  20. DRY PEANUT

  21. Mull

    1. JedJez

  23. Billy Gilmore

    Wow, I'm sure glad I didn't take a hit to bring Kun in!

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

      my rival did a -8

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

        I done a -8 this week as well and now ADM is playing.

        Really need a big score from Kun and Sanchez to make it worthwhile.

    2. Clam. ☘️
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Rival took a -16 hit. He's done 27 transfers this season as well as his wildcard?
