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.

    Am I the only one who applaud that save by Randolph in front of the tv?

    1. Pasqualinho
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I'm not even sure it was going in. Valencia appeared to hit it at Randolph rather than the empty net

      1. Somalion
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Yep, has to do far better there.

  5. AndyCook

      Ibra and Cedric to Kane and Baines?

    • Somalion
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Aside from the very odd special moment, I remain wholly unconvinced by Lingard.

      Cant believe Valencia missed!! As an owner that killed me

    • Rainer
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Point for Ibra

    • janowsc
      • 9 Years

      Wow...

    • Somalion
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Oh Ibra

    • Syd.
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Ibra just put one into orbit

      Who else is Wildcarding and can't be bothered to wait for a DGW?

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Casuals

      2. Pep says
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Very tempted, especially 10 days break.. I know I'll regret it though

        1. Differentiator
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          DGWs overrated

      3. ★Kuntheman★
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Based on the luck of this season most of the players won't play in the second game

      4. Vedas
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Really want to do a wildcard, team is a mess

    • Bubz
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      How the hell does Valencia miss that ffs

    • 404_FC
      • 8 Years

      how come nyom get 2 baps ? (coz get cs?)

      can anyone explain?

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Clean Sheet is worth quite a lot in the bonus point system

    • Mr. Blonde
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Why is lingard playing? So average

    • Lizard Lips
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Baines and Phillips but went Brunt and then couldn't get more WBA so went Lallana instead. Brutal last few weeks for me.

      1. Uncle Gamst
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Not as bad as this one:

        Hazard and Kane out for Phillips and Agüero at about 11.28 this morning, sounding good so far...

        Transferred in CPLs Michael Phillips instead of WBAs Matty Phillips 🙁

        #Idiot

        Amnesia?

    • Ginkapo FPL
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Really thankful that we have goal line tech now.

    • Rainer
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Valencia is very dangerous here

    • tm245
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Martial is fighting for minutes vs Lingard, I just don't get it.

      1. davies
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        I've no idea how he plays for a PL team, bare in mind a top 6 club..

        1. tm245
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Agreed, the amount of minutes he gets in this side is stunning.

      2. Mr. Blonde
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Makes no sense whatsoever

      3. ★Kuntheman★
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Martial can't dab with Pogba

    • Jimjam
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Best way to shave 0.1 to afford Origi to Defoe:

      A) Evans -> Nyom
      B) Eriksen -> Alli

      1. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        B for me.

      2. davies
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Evans > Ake (assuming you have Brunt/McCauley)

        Otherwise B

        1. Jimjam
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Thanks mate - have Ake, but not Brunt

      3. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Or Evans to Ake / Chambers / Friend

        1. Jimjam
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Thanks mate - actually have all 4 of those..!

      4. Alan Sugar
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Both good transfers, B better in short term with Nyom off for AFCON

    • Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …

    • UnitednationsXI

      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      pogba playing very deep

    • S.Kuqi
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Should I activate my wildcard? I have no clue how to climb up in the rankings but wildcard is best to use to set up team for dgw.

      1 Ft and 0.8
      Rank: +300K

      Heaton (robertson)
      Bellerin-Friend-Holebas (Amat,Pieters)
      Sanchez-Hazard-Eriksen-Philips (hojberg)
      Zlatan-Costa-Benteke

      1. Grand Thibauto
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Holebas to Baines? Really good team and have the same team as yours. Very very close.

      2. YankeeDoodleDandy
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Your team is fine. Just try to pick some differentials

      3. davies
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Try being 4x that rank...

        That's a decent side - just needs a transfer or two in defence

      4. Crow
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        What do you want to change from that?

        1. S.Kuqi
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          I have no clue 😀 probably switch to 3-5-2 and fix my defence.

      5. v12w12
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        No, I'd keep it

      6. S.Kuqi
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Thanks all 🙂

      7. GreennRed
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Waste of a wildcard when you can rake in bench boost points using WC before or after a DGW.

      8. Lumberjack
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Holebas to Ake and you're looking pretty good

      9. S.Kuqi
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Thanks. Really appreciate your help.

        Just need to sit tight and hope for best.

      Some people think that last challenge should be a red card going by some of the comments on here

    • tm245
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      An early red card in this mausoleum makes for a pretty joyless match.

    • fedolefan
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      God, why do I get the same feeling when I captain Ibra as when I captain Lukaku.

        Patience - long way to go yet.
