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

              It wasn't even that, thats a gamble we all take, Wenger gave a long quote on the situation which pointed to rotation depending on each situation and they printed a very misleading section of said quote that made it look like Giroud was getting his place back which he never implied.

              I'd be fuming if I bought him based on that.

                Read that myself... basically said sometimes Giroud plays sometimes not.. that was my take from it

        Stones has to go first.

        How anybody still has him I cannot understand.

        Man City don't keep clean sheets, he doesn't have much attacking threat and he's not even nailed.

        Awful pick before the season started and as it's progressed. I suggest shipping him with your first free. Plenty of options about at the same price.

        To be honest it sounds a little captain hindsight but I would never chose to play a Swansea defender regardless of fixture as they are just poor.

        I thought Stoke would maybe concede but could have maybe kept a clean sheet. Swansea were always going to concede.
