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

    Impossible to drop Austin due to insufficient funds

        Same issue with Kun/Costa/Defoe. Will have to pass for time being & don't see a great mid alternative.

          Not feasible to get Alli unless I drop Hazard and still far from getting Kane

      A) Coutinho and Sanchez for Hazard and Mane
      B) Coutinho and Defoe for Matic and Costa

        More dangerous not owning Costa with those fixtures imo. The problem with dropping Kun is that KDB is also a rotation risk, which means no City cover at all. That being sad, Haz/Costa + Kane give you decent captain options for the rest of the year

          True, still quite conservative.

          Presumably Wenger is protecting Ramsey from injury, which is understandable. Still, been waiting months to see Xhaka play with Ramsey.
