Dugout Discussion

Dugout Discussion – Saturday

The Gameweek rolls on with no less than six three o’clock kick-offs to monitor. Fantasy Football managers will need to spread their attention, with a vast array of talent on show.

Eden Hazard’s 25% ownership will be expecting big things from their man at home to Burnley. The Belgian has returned in both his outings thus far but will likely face a rearguard action from the visitors at the Bridge.

Equally, Riyad Mahrez is heavily backed to produce against Swansea at the King Power. The Algerian haunted the South Wales club with four goals last season and remains in 27% of squads ahead of today’s kick-off.

Everton’s Romelu Lukaku makes his return to the fray in the home clash with Stoke as he bids to attempt to break up the Aguero/Ibrahimovic monopoly in our frontlines. Whilst down at St Mary’s, Dusan Tadic and Nathan Redmond will be bidding for our attention in midfield as they face struggling Sunderland.

Christian Benteke makes his Crystal Palace debut at Selhurst Park as winless Palace and Bournemouth clash, whilst at Vicarage Road, Arsenal will attempt to kick-start their season with a win over Watford with Mesut Ozil returning to the Gunners’ line-up.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    How many premier league games did Palace actually win in 2016 ? I think it's less than 5.

    1. Zebrahimović
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      A defender was probably their top scorer

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

      2 I think

      • 8 Years

      Their full backs were not really great last year. No attacking threat. And clean sheets were hard to come during the latter part of the season.

  4. Cecil The Lion

    Any news on Bojan?

          25.1% now

  7. EDEN THE MAN

    7 years, 9 months ago

    Hazard is officially essential and with the same importance as Ibra and Kun.

    1. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Well part 1 of my Triple Crown Attack has come in so far.

      1. tm245
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Fab Four here -- Sanchez as well.

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Never wasn't essential

    3. Woy of the Wovers
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Hazard plus one of Ibra/Kun is essential(ish)

      1. Simon69
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Plus both and you're onto a winner.

    4. Simon69
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Not a chance is he as important as Agüero.

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

        When European games begin he is

      2. EDEN THE MAN
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        I have all three so Im set

    5. andymck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      The three of them have carried my team so far.

    6. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      This is not a revelation

  8. Limbo
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    10 Penalties conceded this season so far... I'm convinced now. It's essential to factor in spot kicks as a result of the new FA legislation.

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

      Oscar, Rooney, Vardy all essential!

      1. Dirty Harry
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Mahrez took Leicester's last Pen, not Vardy - annoyed Vardy owner.

      2. Smurf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Oscar. Hazard you mean!

      3. Red Devil Swede
        • 11 Years

        Had 2 of those from the start!

      4. Limbo

        Hazard, Ibra, Mahrez 😉

    Can see why Draft Kings is so popular in the states. The website is brilliant.

    1. Richd

      The nfl is good fun.

      1. Mull
        • 12 Years

        The 1 million player NFL sunday must be insane. Even as a casual viewer of NFL I might have to try it.

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

          It's worth a go. Theres so many websites and podcasts around regarding daily fantasy that you only need to be a casual viewer!

        2. Yank Revolution
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          Dont waste your money. Youre a fish and there are plenty of whales in Draft Kings / Fan Duel. Very difficult to win anything significant.

    2. FISSH
      • 11 Years

      why is it so good

      1. Mull

    Thinking deulofou to cazorla could be on d cards

  15. Tadic is the new Eriksen
    • 11 Years

    Kun/Ibra/Tekkers preferred WC attack?

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years

      Planning it ATM 🙂 ... Might need Pickford / Jaku in goal though

    2. Assisting the assister
      • 8 Years

      I like it - it's my plan. Just seeing how to do it!

    3. Tommytour

      Lukaku

    4. Kante Be Bothered
      • 7 Years

      Kun Ibra Costa

  16. Belsunz

    How are those odds for Pardew being first PL manager to be sacked this season?

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Not much imo..
      He and Pulis top the list..

  17. devils advocate
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    Sooo tempted by Cazorla, but I just know that the minute I pull the trigger on him he will be benched.

    Any Arsenal supporters here want to weigh in with their thoughts regarding whether he's nailed on once everyone returns? I personally think he should be, but seemed in and out of the team before his injury lay off.

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

      Won't be benched and won't score a penalty every game. Look at his stats from last season and the season before that. Deep lying play maker.

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

        Injured last season.

      2. devils advocate
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Hence why I'm asking ARS supporters about this season.

        Last season he was injured and the season before he was in and out of the team, yet when he plays he usually is in the points.

        Nothing to do with the penalty scored just now as I've been considering him since before the season started but was worried about his game time once the full squad is back.

        Thanks for your inaccurate contribution anyway, 😉

    2. Mark-O
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Rotation due to CL might be likely but should start quite frequently I guess

      1. devils advocate
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks.

        Might take a punt as hard to ignore ARS's fixtures and my team seems too unbalanced with Ozil who is my preferred option.

    3. Sweetboi
      • 8 Years

      Caz is nailed.

      But he played? Subbed off at 30. Would've thought he'd got benched if he was ill.

    7. Gnu

    looks like its time for me to jump on the hazard bangwagon! already have ibra & kun so wanted to keep firmino but im losing out to my rivals!

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      I have haz/kun/firmino/rooney... Hoping for rooney to outshine zlatan today to justify keeping him... But if zlatan outscores him again i'm using 2x FT's to get zlatan in for rooney & eating the 0.2 price loss... Cazorla is going to be bargain ofnthe century if he nails down a place, pens and corners and an eye for goal!

    2. devils advocate
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Brought Haz in for Cout this gw to join Ibra and Kun, and so far happy with the decision.

  26. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 14 Years

    Cazorla season keeper?

      1. AC Tomasso
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Not yet, like the whole Burnley team so far

      2. JÆKS ⭐
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Burnley is just defending, not sure if Gray even touched the ball so far. Probably selling after the Hull game

  29. KingNidge

    Mark may have to give his stance on Hazard a rethink
