Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Saturday

After Chelsea’s dramatic win at the Etihad, there are five 3pm kick-offs to keep us ticking over.

Harry Kane carries the armband hopes of many Fantasy Premier League managers for Gameweek 14 – the Spurs forward earned 32% of the Captain Poll votes against a Swansea outfit that have conceded at three times in four of their six matches under Bob Bradley.

Second only to Kane for transfers up front since last week’s deadline, Southampton’s Charlie Austin travels to a Palace defence that have been breached in all 13 Gameweeks so far.

Jermain Defoe also earned plenty of new owners ahead of Sunderland’s home encounter with Leicester. The top value forward in FPL, he faces a defence that have conceded 16 times on their travels – no side have shipped more.

All three forwards have the chance to stake a claim as our Sergio Aguero replacement, in light of the City striker’s dismissal earlier today.

Over in the midlands, West Brom’s Matt Phillips looks to continue the form that has racked up two goals and three assists in the last three Gameweeks as Watford roll up to the Hawthorns.

Back from a one-match ban, Stoke’s Joe Allen is only named amongst the subs against a Burnley side that have conceded at least three times in all but one of their away matches.

    So many semi-casuals will go straight to Kun > Kane if they at all keep up with their team. Good to be a week early though.

  9. Somalion

    1. Somalion
      • 14 Years

      Not exactly, and he made a fantastic move to beat the defender. Still, he should have put that into the top of the net!

    How's it going all?

    1. Tansey
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      33 from 7 with captain still to go. Average I think

    2. GreenArrows
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      18 from 8 🙁 captain Sanchez, Firmino and Wilson left 🙁

  12. Smarty Pants

    Fuchs is a gift that keeps on giving, a dream that never ends

    1. Ziro

      *nightmare

    2. CABAYE4
      • 12 Years

      With Aguero and Bony to deal with it looks like he's staying another week in my team...

      1. Pep bites Kun
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        I've carded him for next week - straight red! Last straw - it was a long straw. Worse transfer in by far this season..

        - not complaining, just ranting 🙂

  13. tm245

    2. Alnair
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      That's the first and last time that'll be said this season 😀

  14. LewanGOALski

    Aguero ➡ Kane for free then..?

    1. Jazz!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

    Oh Pickford you mug

    1. Numb
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      What do you expect from Sunderland?

    2. faver
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      still got you save points for 4.1

    3. Pep bites Kun
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Oh Foster the mug.. mucking up my def along with Fuchs..

      - Def realignment coming up next week. Happy with the rest thankfully.

  16. Bubz

    Fuchs yellow. 0 points again

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Got to be kidding me 😀

    2. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 10 Years

      I take it back.

    3. Numb
      • 9 Years

      It's become his trademark

    4. Wild Rover

    5. Duke Silver ☑
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Why do I still have him in my team?!

    6. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I got disgusted with him last GW, and needed to raise cash, so I sold, but for Cedric. Oh well.

      1. Pep bites Kun
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Sou this week unfortunate - who would have thought? Still think you're onto a good thing based on form. Hold & move on.

        Mind you it gives me a dilemma.. I was going Fuchs to Cedric next week if he got me another 0..

        ..where's that drawing board?

    7. Pep bites Kun
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      His price is a killer - 0 points during good fixtures for how many weeks?

  17. sully29
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    Pereyra sent off.

  18. TheTinman
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Need something from Allen or for Stoke to concede...

  19. Karan14
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Kane deserves one more!

    1. Dušan Citizen
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Eriksen*

      1. Karan14
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Erikssen assist!

  20. Dr Kenneth Noisewater
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Oh Aguero money, how generous you are.

    Would Aguero + Redmond + Holebas > Kane + Alli + Alonso make a -8 worth it?

    0.1 shy of Eriksen annoyingly.

  21. mad_beer ✅
    • 9 Years

    So Kun to Costa tonight seems obvious right?

    1. Numb
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      If we hear that Costa is OK

  22. tm245

    Taking volunteers to man the Fuchs Owners Hotline...

  23. Grand Thibauto
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Pedro+Morgan to Hazard+Taylor?
    Have 0.0 ITB and money tied up in Pedro as well. Have Costa Firmino in the team as well.

    Should I do or Should I wait. Taylor the best bet at a 4.2 starter as well.

    1. Rossamous
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Maybe if you like negative points for defenders. Swans defense is woeful

      1. Grand Thibauto
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Won't really play him much. But Hazard is essential and Morgan is bs.

  24. sully29

    Benteke goal!

  25. Royal5

    Dembele off > Coutinho on

  26. Lawrø
    • 12 Years

    Tekkers! Huge goal

  27. Big Bad Diego
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Best Midfielder for 8 million? Currently have Hazard, Siggy, Walcott, Firmino, and Phillips, with 2.8 ITB

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      son

  28. Somalion
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Think I'll take another -8 this week.

  29. tm245
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Wakey, you beast.

  30. Rossamous
    • 11 Years

    Poor form Ross. Benteke to Austin for a hit 🙁
