Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Sunday

We’ve a couple of Premier League encounters to tide us over this afternoon. First up, Arsenal entertain Villa at the Emirates as Arsene Wenger’s men look for a fifth win in six attempts – the likes of Santi Cazorla, Theo Walcott and Olivier Giroud have earned plenty of new investors over the last couple of days as a result of Alexis Sanchez’ hamstring problems. With Villa failing to score in each of their last five, the Gunners’ prospects of a third straight shut-out also look likely here.

Later in the day, Southampton welcome under-strength Swansea to St Mary’s at 4pm. Eljero Elia was drafted in by 100,000+ FPL managers on the back of a double at Newcastle last time out but with Sadio Mane back from the African Cup of Nations, the Dutchman’s new owners will be eagerly awaiting Ronald Koeman’s team sheet. Like Arsenal, the Saints will be optimistic of a clean sheet today – Swansea are devoid of the suspended Gylfi Sigurdsson and have scored more than a single goal in just one of the last 11 Gameweeks.

      2 feet off the ground - highly unlikely

    3. Klopp's Kids
      • 10 Years

      Better chance than Costa had

    4. Jax
      • 14 Years

      no chance.

  5. joinho
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    I can afford to do Sanchez (out) - Cazorla (in) and Downing (out) - Walcott (in) I've already got Giroud, is 3 Arsenal too much?

    1. Pepereina Pizza
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      if you want to win the whole shebang, 3 arsenal is the recipe. go look at their fixture list!

    KOeman

  10. Costa in Wengerland
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Who will play for Suspended Bertrand ?

    1. Klopp's Kids
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Targett? Not 100% sure though.

      1. Jax
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        he's the no.1 Targett

        1. Klopp's Kids
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          No.

  11. BruLee
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Is Sanchez out of the team crazy?

    1. Klopp's Kids
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Now it is. Leicester (H) is looming.

      1. BruLee
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Have Walcott + Giroud + Bellerin for the game

        1. BruLee
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Good enough no?

          Will get Silva + Kompa for next few games then ship Costa back in

        2. Klopp's Kids
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Bellerin and Walcott aren't 100% nailed.
          I would say Bellerin is 80% nailed and Walcott is 40%.
          Cazorla, Ozil, Sanchez and Giroud might linuep as attackers next game.

  12. icywrists23
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    I might upgrade to a chelsea defender

    1. Klopp's Kids
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Villa (A) should be a cleansheet. Villa had ONE shot today.

      1. Klopp's Kids
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Three shots on target* :blush:

      2. Jax
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        6 games without scoring. dear god.

        1. RÏÉ BY
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          they're recordbreakers!

      3. John Nerdelbaum
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Probs a repeat of what happened last season there. I doubled up on Chelski as well for it

  13. King Kohli
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Too risky to go with this defence on WC?

    Panti Krul
    Zouma Bellerin PVA Wisdom Clyne

    Also have my original WC if it goes pear shaped.

    Thoughts?

  14. AlCapwnUK

    If I bought Bertie at 5.1, will the first price fall affect my selling value of 5.5?

    1. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Yes - if he drops to 5,8 your sv drops to 5.4

      1. AlCapwnUK
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        hmmm, bit of motivation for selling then
