The Dugout Discussion – West Ham United vs Southampton

Smith, good fixtures.

I chose Smith for no particular reason

I rate Kone, think he is a good player. Not sure if your going to get many cs from those options so comes down to attacking threat. Sunderland have 5 decent fixtures in the next 6. I don't have the stats area to compare them.

Smith

Thanks all for replies

Smith, athough he is a doubt for next game

Boro have reasonable fixtures... Barragan?

You gonna transfer him out?

worthy of consideration for prospective buyers tbf. following game is another champs league game vs someone rubbish, so on balance, i think (hope) he get's his rest then.

He's Sanchez, he always plays and starts....

Just like aguero, he always starts.....

Good point, moreover you won't get any fantasy points from 3 of these games

This comforts me as a non-owner. He will also be shipped back out to the wing soon.
Happy with my Iwobi pick, and will probably opt for Giroud if he returns next week.

Might play tomorrow.

I wouldn't want to sell either of those with their fixtures next week...

I'd buy holebas out of him and smith though.

If you've got WBA defence then Smith rotates very well

Maybe Thursday morning.

Sounds like Baines will be ok, Shaw should come back in but no one really knows if he will, Collins won't start in the league for a while so I'd ditch him if you can

wait on news on shaw baines, but collins out imo, been dropped, w ham poor anyway

*Would be 4.8 in option 1 and 4.3 in option 2 so would need to be option 1 as there is no other def playing for 4.3 or under.

Stones to Kelly could be an option.

Not sure Zuniga is nailed.

Valencia to Holebas probably makes more sense, assuming he is fit.

Keep Ozil.

Even assist may get him maximum bonus.

1

This.

Straight into my team if that happens.

-10

This never thought I'd say this but doubled up Capoue and Deeney

Hold

What if scores twice tomorrow?

It's a hold for me.

Good squad.

I'd save for the international break. Only player I'd want in there is Sterling

Definitely save.

Save

Meyler possibly with their fixtures.

About to lose 0.1 on Redmond so need to FT him out

I really do miss the WA group.

You mean sheepsters ?

for a -8? no chance, just save.

Might need another -4 to sell after midweek 😉

Did you get rid of Payet?

Would have ditched Shaw myself.

Thinking about the same. I'm gonna be way behind if Ibra blanks and Sanchez hauls again

Sanchez or Mane

Lukaku.

sanchez

Aguero or Lukaku for me.

Deeney... you have utd cover and rashs mins not guaranteed

Deeney

D

Always the same when someone is just about to rise

Looks good

Not sideways IMO.

very kneejerky

Not this week IMO.

A lot of good players have got rid of Ibrahimovic... Now you can punish them before getting rid yourself.

Don't think you can get rid of Ibra ahead of Stoke at home and Antonio's fixtures + form are too good to ditch atm although WH looked awful today

Considering the above with a very similar team

Hold this week.

Ibra to someone and Snodgrass to Arsenal midfielder next week.

Save

Thanks all! 🙂

Manchester United defender Luke Shaw and midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan were not "100% ready" to face Premier League champion Leicester City but neither player is injured, according to manager Jose Mourinho.
But Mourinho said of the reason for the pair's absence, according to ESPN: "I wouldn't say injured. I would say they are not 100%. When they are not 100%, I always think that in these difficult moments - when you really feel you have to win the match - I prefer always to go with players who are 100% ready, from their physical and mental point of view.

Wait for news as C could make most sense.

I like B as an alternative with his form, but their fixtures are mixed to bad.

D

Valencia
Good fixture v Stoke, but then bad

D

C

I would do D or A, in that order, but wait for news about Baines' and Holebas' injuries

I would go Zlatan myself.

And I dumped him for Kun and brought Sanchez in this GW btw. And I would still captain Zlatan.

Zlat for me. Stoke are awful plus he won't play midweek and Sanchez will. That said I'll be a proud Sanchez owner he racks up some points.

I think I will stick with Kun

Looks decent to me. I'm getting impatient with Stones so I would downgrade him.

The defence is reasonable.

Shaw being injured is obviously hurting you, so he could be worth a transfer.

Lamela has a chance, but might be worth looking to make way for a Liverpool midfielder; realise that's a -4 at the moment with your cash situation.

For me it's a save, or a -4 to improve Shaw and Lamela.

The only Liverpool you'll get with a sensible defender is Lallana though e.g. Holebas (if fit) and Lallana.

Depending on what you paid, Antonio + Shaw --> Holebas + Coutinho is also an option. Risky with Antonio's form though.

would play Capoue over Snodd this GW but allows for Sanchez/Aguero and others..

So you will buy Snoddy and bench him? What's the point?

KDB needs to go, the issue is Sanchez getting injured. In most cases it will pay off tonight.
