Dugout Discussion

Dugout Discussion – West Ham vs Man United

A hectic afternoon with points aplenty will hopefully continue with the tea-time kick-off at the London Stadium.

With Sergio Aguero emerging from the bench to return a goal and potential bonus points at the Etihad, our attention now switches to the red side of Manchester and their own talismanic goalscorer – Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Heavily backed by FPL managers once again, the Swede takes on the Hammers with 24.1% of the Gameweek 20 armbands strapped to his bicep.

Elsewhere, Jose Mourinho recalls Phil Jones and Marcos Rojo at centre-back as two of five changes to his line-up; Henrikh Mkhitaryan earns his second successive start.

For West Ham, Andy Carroll drops to the bench having started the last four Gameweeks. Mark Noble and Andre Ayew also drop out as Pedro Obiang, Manuel Lanzini and Sofiane Feghouli earn starts.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    What are people doing with Jones and Cedric? Who's the best Wba defender to get?

    1. Demel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Easily Brunt.

    2. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Brunt IMO. Chambers at Boro also an option

    3. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Keeping Jones, would ditch Cedric if I had and I'm looking to get Brunt in.

    4. MDunning
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      McAuley imo

    United looking a lot brighter thank god

    Please Lingard off for Martial/Rashford

  5. tm245
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Double up on Pogba and Ibra doesn't feel so great with Lingard being able to touch the ball.

      indeed...very disappointing

  6. Bleach †

    7 years, 5 months ago

    Not watching the game, any chances for Ibra so far?

    1. Numb
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      One that he fluffed. Not much.

  7. Judas

    7 years, 5 months ago

    How on earth is Nyom (played 61mins, no assist, no goals) on more bonus than Phillips who got 2 assists!

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Cause the BPS makes no sense

      only defender that didnt concede

    Lately I seem to be more concerned with hoping certain players don't score, rather than hoping my players do score.

    Time to quit FPL?

      Which players?

      1. Epic Fail
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Players like Mane and co. Dangerous players I don't own.

        1. TorresMagic™

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Mane is few enough with ownership. Costa is another one.

            fair*

    2. Jafooli
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      I've been like that for five seasons.

      I'm still here.

    3. fedolefan
      • 10 Years

      That usually happens when your team is kak. The case with you?

    4. Krul Runnings
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      It's because Defoe is scoring so many that you're immune to bring excited by points 😉

    5. Dirty Harry
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Cant have them all to be honest

  9. Somalion
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Mike Dean is going to get glassed on his way home

  10. Leaf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    He got the ball

  11. Ógie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Now that was a red card

  12. Numb
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    That looked a red

  13. Jafooli
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Great pass from Mike Dean...

  14. The Wise Owl
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Any thoughts on this team?

    Pickford / Heaton
    Alonso / Jones / Holebas / Ake / Amat
    Sanchez / Hazard / Eriksen / Phillips / de Roon
    Ibra / Costa / Anichebe

    1FT 1.9 ITB

    Falling horribly since GW11.

  15. SADIO SANÉ
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    If you had Sanchez and Bellerin but wanted one more Arsenal player, who would you pick?

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Walcott or Coquelin (bench fodder)

    2. SuperDan
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Walcott when fit

    3. tm245
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Im waiting for Walcott to be fit, could be a steal at that price after the FA Cup break.

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks guys. Yeah Walcott is great value, also thinking Mustafi or maybe Giroud

    4. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Giroud

      1. Neeskens Under Matip
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Already stolen him for Sanchez... Needed the money for aguero.

  16. Oh Mane Mane
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Hazard + Rondon for Ibra + Philips for free?? Already have Costa but no Man Utd players.

    Thanks

    1. SuperDan
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Yup

  17. Judas
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    that was a clear red

  18. Numb
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Mike Dean has lost the plot now

  19. greghammer95
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Got the ball. Modern football is stupid

    1. Numb
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      That doesn't matter anymore

  20. Kroosin'
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Is pickford > Valdes still a good move ?

    Is he expected to start the next game. Pickford might drop tonight.

    1. Harry Ball Bag™⚽⚽…
      • 14 Years

      Foster?

    2. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Hennessey for me.

      1. Harry Ball Bag™⚽⚽…
        • 14 Years

        Isn't mandanda back soon?

  21. 8ball
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Dean obviously compensating for the horrendous decision in the first half. Terrible ref.

    1. Harry Ball Bag™⚽⚽…
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      He is such a bell end

  22. tm245
    • 12 Years

    The drop on that ball from Payet...

  23. Ha.

  24. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 11 Years

    I think it may be time to wildcard.

    1. Oven Glover
      • 8 Years

      Who's in? Who's out?

      1. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Don't know .I'm bored.

  25. Gruu
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    3 BPS for Mike Dean please

  26. Dirty Harry
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Origi+Hazard > Lukaku+Phillips -4?

    Origi nailedness and form dipping as Lukaku is nailed, has some form and great fixtures.

    Hazard in form but Phillipd in better form and almost half the price and Phillips fixtures are alot more favourable than Chelsea

    1. Numb
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Sounds good to me

    2. Emp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      no way phillips is away at spurs next

    3. JÆKS ⭐
      • 9 Years

      Thinking the same but waiting another week

  27. nygunner
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    How is Snodgrass getting 3bp?? Was he that much better even tho his team lost 3-1.

    Also, shouldn't lallana get the assist for Liverpool 2nd goal? His corner knocked on by Sunderland defender. Lukaku getting assist for Valencia goal when his shot was saved. Both goals came from hitting opposition player last. Just curious!!!!

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      GK saves are very different to defenders.

      1. nygunner
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Thank you. Nice to see some people can read comments and not be a dick when replying

    2. Cpt Crunch Scott talent

      Try to actually read the rules

      1. nygunner
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Dick

    3. Lawrø
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      I thought Moreno took that corner?

      1. nygunner
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Possibly. Thought it was lallana but my point stays the same. Torresmagic cleared it up.

  28. greghammer95
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    If this is the week united choose to keep a clean sheet I won't be happy (despite having De Gea I have Jones benched)

  29. Wild Rover
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Who's coming off before 60 mins?

    1. greghammer95
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Jones or ibra

    2. Numb
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Mkhi maybe or Lingard

    3. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Lingard

  30. Oven Glover
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 5 months ago

    Mkhi about to be subbed for Rashford?
