Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Southampton vs Burnley

Sunday’s events conclude at St Mary’s as Southampton play host to Sean Dyche’s Burnley.

The Saints will be seeking a fourth consecutive clean sheet in the Premier League, a seventh in a row in all competitions.

Visitors Burnley will need to improve their attacking threat in order to threaten that record. The Clarets have scored just five goals from their seven matches, creating three big chances – the fewest in the Premier Leauge.

The Saints attack has disappointed with just seven goals scored in their seven matches. However, the statistics show that they have the potential to improve on that record in this one: Claude Puel’s side have produced a shot on goal every 4.8 minutes at St Mary’s – only Liverpool have been more threatening in home matches this season.

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

    Is Tadic > Antonio good use of a FT taking into considerstion West Ham have Sunderland next ?

    1. KISSES
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      I would go near west ham mate

      No, Antonio playing as defender (have him myself). Didn't do much last night (watched it). I'm holding myself for another week as other fires to quinch.

    3. Frank Black
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      No because he's playing right back right now.

      Only WHU player worth having is Payet, who i have, and he's commitment to own at £9.4mil

      Arnautovic is your man

    Predictions for tomorrow?Can Firmino get a haul??

    1. Ron_Swanson
      • 13 Years

      1-1

    2. Henryyy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      I would love that

    3. Pinky Blinders
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      I have him going and hope so but won't be surprised if Mane ends up doing better

    4. ktk_interista

      2-1 Liverpool. Firmino will not blank.

    5. andymck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      3-1 Pool

    6. Lumberjack
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      He's my captain. He's better - on 14 points so far...

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

        *He'd better...

    7. zotter
      • 14 Years

      3-1 pool

      Fancy might be Mane turn for a haul

  3. Lone Wolf FPL

    Best way to get funds for Arsenal defender

    a) Snodgrass -> Allen
    b) Evans -> 3.9/4.0

    1. Frank Black
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Definitely A.

      1. Frank Black
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Although you could get other defenders instead of Arsenal's.

        1. Lone Wolf FPL
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          like who? Spurs?

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights

      Both aren't great. Depends on defence.

    3. Ron_Swanson
      • 13 Years

      A

    4. Lone Wolf FPL

    Best striker to get in to replace Rashford 9.4 and under?

    1. ktk_interista
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Austin is terrific value. Difficult fixtures but he can score against anyone and City cannot defend and will be back from a Camp Nou thrashing probably.

      1. KISSES
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Thars what I'm thinking. Ideally I want to keep that 3rd striker cheaper so I think Austin may be the way to go.

    2. Lumberjack
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Lukaku, can't argue with his form

      1. KISSES
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Sorry should have said, other 2 strikers are Aguero and big Luk.

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

          Austin then

  6. Giovanni Giorgio
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Anyone know where I can find player ownership stats? Say top 100k/top10k.

  7. Lumberjack
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Antonio/ Capoue -> Walcott/ Allen with my 2 FTs?

    1. Frank Black
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Yes.

    2. KISSES
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Oh yes

    3. Pack The Ripper
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Thinking the same but for a 4 point hit. Have Sanchez already though...

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

        I'm more than happy with 2 ARS attackers - also have Sanchez. Thanks.

    4. Lumberjack
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Thanks. Done.

  8. Pack The Ripper
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Capoue to Allen a good move for the season?

    Gives me

    Sanchez, Sterling, Allen, Antonio, Son
    Rashford, Costa, Aguero

    1. zotter
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Probably yes. Bear in mind you are going to bench him quite regularly though don't sweat too much about it !

  9. ktk_interista

    Even Balotelli missed his penalty this week. I must have seen at least 6 penalties missed/saved this week.

    1. Henryyy

      Hes pretty damn good on pens too

    Save FT? Do really want a Liverpool mid in but it's tricky

    1. mikess
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Sterling the one to go out of your midfield. Other option is downgrade Benteke and upgrade Snodgrass or Capoue for Milner or Lallana

    2. Mayo for Sam
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Baines to a Spurs defender?

  11. mikess
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Evening everyone.

    Thoughts on what to do? Bit confused. 1ft, 0.0 itb

    Foster, Pickford
    Bellerin, Clyne, Valencia, Stones, Amat
    Sanchez, Firmino, Sterling, Walcott, Snodgrass
    Agüero, Benteke, W.Keane

    Thinking save free and a cheeky -4pt 3 transfer mini wildcard in gameweek 10?

    1. S.Kuqi
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Save. Looks good to me

      1. mikess

        Cheers. Poor week like many so a have a twitchy knee

    Holebas is my hero. Got me to the magic 50 when I had Kun (c)

    1. Henryyy

        Unlucky

  13. Wild Rover

    One player in the game tomorrow isn't going to be enough, is it? 😐

    1. SMELL MY CHEESE YOU MOTHER
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Try going with none 😥

      1. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Tough watch

    2. Cojiro
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Depends. 0-0 could suit u, or 1-0 firm, no assist

      1. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        I have Coutinho, a Firmino or Mane haul will kill me

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

          Yep, I have just firm, so Coutinho would ruin me. Good luck

          1. Wild Rover
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 8 months ago

            Ditto 🙂

  14. SMELL MY CHEESE YOU MOTHER
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Robertson -> Pieters a decent move? (have 2FT which I don't plan on using otherwise)

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

      Yep

  15. S.Kuqi
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Really can't sell Antonio before Sunderland at home. He is playing as a rb and dipped in form but still.... 😐

    1. mikess
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Glad I ditched but definitely hang on this week. Last chance saloon

    2. Cojiro
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      What about if u don't have Walcott and 2 FT?

    3. Krul Runnings
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      He goes this week for Walcott.

      Has to be done.

    4. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      I see a lot more value in doing Antonio to arnautovic this week.

      Arnies playing hull.....

      Antonio is right back....

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        True. Good shout!

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          Il be doing the move with you as soon as the mid week games are done!

          Hopefully we will be rewarded with a double digit haul !!

  16. SheBangsTheDrums

    Any other Austin owners slightly concerned by his lack of 90 mins?

    1. Kante Be Bothered
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Not if he scores 2 goals every time

    2. ktk_interista
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Are you kidding?

    3. Artorias

      Soton play inter midweek..Austin captainer here

    4. Lecky Legs FC
      • 8 Years

      No got his goals so Claude brought him off as early for Thursday in the EL dont sweat it yet.

  17. john25
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    Hey guys, Antonio --> Allen for 5th mid?

    Playing 352.

    Cheers

    1. Pack The Ripper
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Maybe hold off Antonio until after Sunderland.

      1. john25
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        His value dropping and he's playing RB though?

    2. FPL Footy Show Pod

      Cash in now value on downturn

  18. Kante Be Bothered
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    How did Redmond look today? Worth keeping him?

    1. GE
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Pretty good, I would keep

    2. FPL Footy Show Pod
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Depends if he's trolled you for 6 weeks like he has me!!!
      Tough fixtures upcoming

    3. bojack
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Can't see him scoring v City, needs five chances to put one away.

      I'm keeping but only because I can only go up to 6.5m to replace and don't see any options.

  19. Hansel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Who to bench: Snodgrass, Benteke or Austin?

    Got Snoddy in my team to cover for Austin's city (a) game but not so sure anymore

    1. GE
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      I would bench Snoddy

    2. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      I would play Austin.
      City's defence have only 1 clean sheet.

  20. GE
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    A) Defoe -> Lukaku
    B) Defoe -> Lukaku
    Fletcher -> Allen (-4 p)
    and play AOA (Evans suspended
    C) Defoe -> Lukaku
    Evans -> Holebas (-4 p)

  21. thep025

    Have the bonus points been finalised?

    1. FPL Footy Show Pod
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Not added yet but decided yes

    2. Pasqualinho
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      They've not changed at all since FT in the final match - but normally finalised by now. Maybe something is being checked?

      1. thep025
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Same thought

  22. FPL Footy Show Pod
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Who would you get rid of first in this nightmare I call my team?

    1) Williams
    2) Redmond
    3) Friend
    4) Defoe
    5) Son

    1. FPL Footy Show Pod
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      6) Capoue !

    2. @SirAustinDangerPowers
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Won't rid of any of them tbh. Not really nightmarish your lads. Probably Friend out.

      1. @SirAustinDangerPowers
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Capoue for one definitely to rid yourself off

        1. @SirAustinDangerPowers
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          Own Williams from the above lot. Considering getting Son in. Redmond atlast had a good GW. Defoe always a good pick for the 3rd striker role.
          Only Friend and Capoue

  23. Viper
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    55 with Firmino left to play.

    Up to 6k now. Happy days.

    Hopefully Ibra/United defence/Coutinho don't destroy me tomorrow

    1. FPL Footy Show Pod

      Good week mate

    2. thep025

      Same ...upto 5k now....Firmino left....Utd CS could make it a red arrow though

      1. Henryyy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Or zlatan show

        1. thep025
          • 8 Years

          Yeah

    3. Dacra
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Mane will 😀

  24. sergioaguero67
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Deeney + Son ---> Lukaku + Allen?

    Or hold on to Son and switch off my tv set when Everton plays?

    Please help.

    1. @SirAustinDangerPowers
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Obvs hold Son. No other Mids to get rid of? Probably Sterling if you own him

      1. sergioaguero67
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        I have Mane Lallana and Walcott Sanchez
        Liverpool and Arsenal double
        I don't want to lose them as they have excellent fixtures
        And all my competitors in my mini league have one or the other.
        So, only Son left.

        1. @SirAustinDangerPowers
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          That midfield looks excellent. Still Lallana Deeney to Lukaku Allen for me.

  25. Dacra
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Any suggestions? Dunno what to do.

    Pickford (Foster)
    Mustafi - Williams - Collins (Evans, Amat)
    Sanchez - Sterling - Mane - Antonio (Capoue)
    Aguero - Lukaku - Austin

    1. Pack The Ripper

      Looks ok for next week to me (Collins to Pieter's maybe).

    2. Pinky Blinders
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Assuming you don't need to do any moves until after tomorrow night. See how Mane does. I think your next moves are dependent on if you want to keep him or not.

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

        Think I want to keep him. As a Liverpool fan 🙂

  26. Giovanni Giorgio
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Replacement for Capoue? Looking to spend 4.5 tops. Don't see him scoring much more so might as well cash in those 0.3

    1. Individual
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Erm, it depends - will you be playing them?

      If not, a solid two pointer like Fletcher at 4.4, or even Whelan at 4.3, are good shouts to maximise the funds for other positions.

      1. thep025
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Whelan plays?

      2. Giovanni Giorgio
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        They only play if someone is injured so not very often.

        1. Individual
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          Ah, and you'd def be removing the player who gets injured anyway in a transfer, so the only way they come on is if someone unexpectedly doesn't start?

          Might as well plump for Fletcher. He always plays and gets 2-3 points, all you need. The rest of the money better spent on a decent squad otherwise.

  27. screamer73
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    price experts, need your help. will Allen rise or Capoue fall tonight?

    1. Pasqualinho
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Neither should happen tonight. Allen's rise after a couple of days will be first.

    2. Individual
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Try this in future

      http://fplstatistics.co.uk/

      Allen on 66% rising, Capoue on 10% falling

      I'd say that you might see an Allen rise tonight as plenty of transfers are carried out on a Sunday, but Capoue won't drop.

      I'm thinking of making this move myself so I'll watch closely...

      1. thep025

        Capoue expected to stay level till next GW?

          No way of knowing that, there could be a mass exodus come Friday night. But you'll be safe for the time being

          I'd be looking at the player you want to bring in, and whether he is rising.

      Capoue is expected to fall?

        Not imminently - but those who had him at 4.5/4.7 or 4.9 are not expecting another rise in their selling value so there will be a lot cashing in for a cheaper permanent sub. He will eventually drop but it won't be until late in the week if it happens this GW, I'd say.

    Hi guys

    Is Capoue to Allen a good use of my FT for the below team for next week? Or is two Stoke too much? I reckon they might well go on a run now...

    Pickford
    Mustafi Pieters Walker
    Allen* Antonio Firmino San(c)hez
    Costa Kaku Kun

    Think that's good enough? Or should I save FT and give Capoue one more week?

    Thanks!

        Thanks mate 🙂

        Think I'm going to make the switch

    But talk of a differential....Holebas is probably only owned by FFS users and the fpl subreddit probably

      Others might argue they got him in based on skill but guessing most owners are like me, just lucky, and made the decision purely to enable spend elsewhere.

    Austin 4 goals and 1 assist in 5 matches. Thats great returns

    Question is is he a better option than Benteke and Wilson ?
