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

              I reckon bertrand and cedric will each only be rested for one game during the super-congested period, assuming they stay fit. They're both too much better than the second choices to rest them more than is necessary. Fwiw I think this may be true of Fonte too (Yoshida coming in for one) but I think vvd will have to power through.

              Same - currently have a front three of Agüero, Costa & Austin.

              Needed Spurs cover it's just a shame to get it under the circumstances of a Coutinho injury. Eriksen looks to be on the up though. Plus nailed starter and on set-pieces.

        Sitting at 285k overall and only 4 gwk's where my gwk rank has been inside the top million.

        Last season you had Ozil, Vardy, Lukaku etc scoring points every week. This season the closest we have is Costa.

        I could take a -12 every week and still be no better off. Still have the likes of Heaton, Holebas, Coutinho, Gungoan stinking up my team.

          Been having a mare of a season, but still Think this season is quite entertaining. Somewhat unpredictable with loads of options, people even using different strategies.

          Last year's cheap scoring template Vardy, Mahrez, Ozil + temporary Ighalo, Kane, Lukaku, Butland made the whole thing a bit predictable compared to this season.
