The Dugout Discussion – Saturday

Saturday moves on to present us with a healthy batch of five afternoon kick-offs, with the top two owned Fantasy Premier League assets in action.

Both Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Sergio Aguero are both backed by 18% of the captaincy share in Gameweek 10 – the pair are in dire need of a reversal of fortunes.

Ibrahimovic takes on Burnley at Old Trafford without a goal in five Gameweeks, having shed almost a million owners since his last strike.

Aguero’s struggles aren’t as prolonged but, nonetheless, there are real concerns on the value he now offers. He travels to an unforgiving Hawthorns having notched just two points over his last three Gameweeks.

Elsewhere, Spurs host champions Leicester City at White Hart Lane and Middlesbrough take on Bournemouth at the Riverside.

Finally, there is a good deal of Fantasy interest focused on Vicarage Road as Watford welcome a struggling Hull City. Much is expected of Troy Deeney, Etienne Capoue and Jose Holebas in that clash.

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

    That 2nd Kun goal has the hallmarks of the Newcastle performance. Just prods the ball a bit to make space, and boom.

    Repost;
    Son + C.Wilson > Coutinho + Okazaki?

    Can just afford it and will play 3-5-2.

    Current team;

    Heaton
    Koscielny Lovren Holebas
    Sanchez Firmino Son Walcott
    Aguero Lukaku C.Wilson

        Fair enough.

        Selling Son > Coutinho gives me 5.7 available. Okazaki is realistically the only striker I can find at that price who starts other than Stuani

    I've just noticed that the BPS goal points rewards forwards more than mids, then defenders get even less. Bit weird that this is the reverse of the standard scoring. I looked because I was confused as to how Giroud got more bonus than Sanchez despite playing much less of the game.

      I believe that's because BPS rewards players for doing 'their job' while normal points gives more weight to rarer events.
