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

      What a game to throw him in to. I liked what I saw of him when he played last season - tough, athletic, ultra-competitive... your typical Aussie! Real test for him today though.

    Holebas off. Unfortunate. Wonder if people'll start transferring him out.
    Not looking to myself, but any other decent defenders at -under- 4.8m?

      A Smith at Bournemouth - for attacking potential without the dissent that keeps getting Holebas yellow cards. Middlesbrough defenders too.

    Quick question : I bought Coutinho at 8.5. His current value is 8.8. His current selling price is 8.6.

    If he drops, will this affect his selling price for me?
