Dugout Discussion – Leicester vs Arsenal

Saturday evening comes to a conclusion at the King Power as champions Leicester go head-to-head with Arsenal.

Both sides are already playing catch-up after losing their opening matches of the season.

Claudio Ranieri welcomes back Robert Huth from suspension after conceding twice to Hull last weekend. The Foxes boss also opts to recall Shinji Okazaki and Marc Albrighton as Ahmed Musa and Demarai Gray drop to the bench. New signing Nampalys Mendy comes in for Andy King in the centre of the park.

Arsenal, meanwhile, bring in Santi Cazorla, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Granit Xhaka and Laurent Koscielny as they attempt to bounce back from Sunday’s home loss to Liverpool. Mesut Ozil and Olivier Giroud are deemed fit enough to take their places on the bench.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Good eve,

    Got a rules-question:
    If you make two transfers or more tonight (-4, -8 hits etc), but activate WC tomorrow, what happen then to those minus points?

    Cheers

    How does this look for a -4?

    Out: Oscar, Firmino, Vardy
    In: Hazard, Mahrez, Carroll

    Ideally I'd like to keep Vardy another week and bring Carroll in GW4, but if Vardy/Firmino drop or Hazard rises I won't be able to afford this. Is it worth taking the risk to do these early?

    Also, are there better 6.5 FWD or 9.5 MID picks for GW3 to GW8 roughly? I could do Mahrez -> Payet GW4 for free.

              In which case -- if you are trying to do well overall -- you should not take risks with the captaincy. Always captain Aguero or Ibrahimovic. Will do wonders.

    Just some early thoughts on a transfer(i'm a wait for press conferences and then make transfer kind of guy so just looking for ideas for now)

    Foster Jakupovic
    Shaw Stones Evans Friend Amat
    Mahrez Firmino Redmond Ramirez Capoue
    Costa Ibra Aguero
    0.0 in the bank
    2 FT

    Dont want to use more than 1 FT(want to keep 2 for the international break) so who do i replace with 0.0 in the bank? honestly tempted to just let my transfer go 😯 .. that being said i could do a luxury move like take out Firmino etc(who for though at that price point?)
