Dugout Discussion – Bournemouth vs Southampton

The first of three Sunday afternoon fixtures gets underway at the Vitality Stadium as Bournemouth entertain Southampton in the 1.30pm kick-off.

Eddie Howe’s side have chalked up four clean sheets in eight matches in front of their own fans, with Charlie Daniels and Steve Cook heading into Gameweek 17 amongst the top seven scoring Fantasy Premier League defenders.

The out of position Adam Smith has also piqued our interest on the right flank, while Nathan Ake budget price tag made him the number one defender for transfers in ahead of the weekend.

Up against a Saints side with three goals in the last seven Gameweeks, Howe’s defence could plunder the points once again.

Bearing in mind that Southampton have served up four clean sheets in the previous five, goals may be hard to come by in this one.

Owners of Cedric Soares will be relieved as the right-back recovers from illness to return to Claude Puel’s starting XI.

    SCOUT PICKS CHALLENGE - GAMEWEEK 15 RESULTS

    Doing GW16 results now too.

    ***** GAMEWEEK RESULTS *****

    Scores on the doors;

    1st - Lahi (86pts) [3pts]
    Top 4% - Scratch (70pts), Slippin' Jimmy (67pts) [2pts]
    Top 10% - A Manager Has No Name (62pts), Sjaugen, Camara (61pts), Mark Rogers is for Kinnear, Kalmoffit (59pts) [1pt]

    ...and I'm really, really sorry to say this but for the fourth week running Tinkerman has missed out on the top 10% with 57 points! If there was a league for "near finishes" he'd be running away with it!

    FFS Scout Picks & Differentials scored a combined total of 59 pts, so all those above bar Mark Rogers is for Kinnear and Kalmoffit gained an additional bonus point!

    ***** THE STANDINGS *****

    That leaves us with the grand standing of...

    1st - Slippin' Jimmy (16pts)
    2nd - Too Many Tacos (13pts)
    3rd - Kalmoffit (12pts)

      Is there the correlation with FPL points? I probably keep no.2 in the team longer than my original plan.

      Yeah. Was planning on getting rid of #2 aswell but might stick for a while since you can argue he and his team are pretty fixture proof. Who are you guys planning on getting in that you don't already own?

      Lost on last article...

      Fonte on the bench, any insight as to why? Rather frustrating, has he been dropped or rested? Happy if he's been rested as then at least next he will start.

      If he comes on for 60 minutes does he get CS points, even if Bournemouth score before he comes on?

        Regardless of what else happens, if he himself plays for 60+ mins and doesn't concede then it's a CS to him. Doesn't look like he'll play today though
