Dugout Discussion – Watford vs Stoke

Sunday treats Fantasy managers to four matches as Watford and Stoke get matters underway in the midday kick-off at Vicarage Road.

We have high hopes for the Hornets wing-backs Jose Holebas and Daryl Janmaat, with the duo earning a spot in our Scout Picks and Spot the Differential articles respectively for Gameweek 13.

Etienne Capoue, meanwhile, has the chance to show just why he was last week’s second most transferred in player, with the Frenchman netting for the fifth time this term in a 2-1 win over Leicester.

Stoke roll up without the suspended Joe Allen after the Welshman collected a fifth caution of the campaign last time out.

Those holding the likes of Marko Arnautovic and Xherdan Shaqiri will be hoping for an upturn in form ahead of next week’s home clash with Burnley. With the fixtures set to turn against the Potters from Gameweek 15 onwards, many will be already planning an escape route.

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

    Looking at Sigurðsson fixtures I don't see them being that good.

    Spurs (Away) - Will struggle to score

    Sunderland (Home) - Their defense is tightening up week by week

    West Brom (Away) - Always tough away fixture

    Middlesbrough (Away) - Could get on the scoreboard

    West Ham and Bournemouth (Home) - No doubt goals at both ends.

    In saying that Sigurðsson seems to be fixture proof and in cracking form. He could be a great shout

          In this context "down" suggests injured not just he happens to be on the floor, which happens very often in a physical sport. A minute's pause will confirm if it's anything worth posting about.

    Yesterday I rage transferred KDB out only to have the Cout injury cause more problems. I've decided to try 3-4-3 again and now have the following team. I'd appreciate comments, especially regarding the midfield - is it too light? I've had V. Moses for a few weeks now and I really like him, so he isn't a knee jerk based on yesterday's result.

    Heaton
    Walker I Lovren I Brunt
