Dugout Discussion – Sunday

After Watford’s win over United at Vicarage Road earlier this afternoon, Fantasy managers are treated to a couple of 2.15 pm encounters in the busiest Sunday of the season so far.

Mid-price pair Christian Benteke and Wilfried Bony go head-to-head at Selhurst Park as Palace look to build on last week’s win at ‘Boro.

Wilfried Zaha has another opportunity to strengthen his claim as a cheap midfield option after last week’s goal and assist on Teesside, though Marko Arnautovic could also throw his hat in the ring as the Potters prepare for a fine upcoming run of matches.

Southampton continue to seek a first league win under Claude Puel, though will be buoyed by the midweek Europa League win over Sparta Prague.

Visitors Swansea have managed just a single point in the last three Gameweeks, though the manner of their comeback against Chelsea last Sunday will fill the Welsh outfit full of confidence.

A poor performance from either side may well persuade owners to look elsewhere given their respective upcoming fixtures. Saints face West Ham, Leicester, City and Chelsea in the next five, whilst the Swans go up against City, Liverpool and Arsenal in the upcoming three Gameweeks.

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

      I'm not sure myself but can understand why as he's the easiest way of getting Aguero back in. I imagine many people are in a similar situation to myself having Lukaku and Ibra currently and Lukaku across the next few games could very likely offer more points return as well as costing less.

      For me he's taking up too much cash with Kun coming back. Kun is the biggest consumer of funds for me but he's explosive and City are playing well. I had Hazard, Ibra and Kun but ditching the first two so I can keep Sanchez and have so better quality midfielders. I think Rashford might start from now on and dilute him too even though I think he's good for points every week.

    -Lukaku gets awarded a goal when he didnt even touch the ball
    -Zlatan gets an assists when his cross deflected off a defenders arm before being smashed in by Rashford

        You obviously didn't hear?

        Zlatan bought the FPL game a fortnight ago and had all the rules changed 2 minutes after Rashford's goal.

        Unconfirmed reports suggest Lukaku may be a silent partner along with Zlatan in this new business venture for the duo.

          Ok.

          If you don't agree with the decision, best thing for you to do is write an email to fpl towers and detail your objection to the awarding of that assist.

          They should get back to you in 2-3 months. 🙂

            Let's be honest if it wasn't for his ownership the assist would of never been credited, double standards and "dodgy" decisions ruin FPL, its clear for everybody that if going by the rules the assist should not stand. But ofcourse the 65% or whatever ownership will disagree :]

      don't love the Lovren pick, rest is decent enough if we think Capoue can continue this run. I remember a few years ago Steven Naismith scored 3 or 4 goals in the first 5 games, everyone owned him and started him by game 6, and he scored maybe once in the next 10... Love owning Capoue, but not sure about starting him.
