Dugout Discussion

Dugout Discussion – Saturday

After Roberto Firmino and Fernando Llorente both bagged a brace at Anfield, there are five 3pm encounters to keep Fantasy managers ticking over this Saturday afternoon.

Cut-price wide men Junior Stanislas and Matt Phillips earned plenty of new owners over the last few days.

The pair approached Gameweek 22 with averages of 5.5 and 5.1 points per match respectively as Bournemouth and West Brom prepare for kind home encounters against Watford and Sunderland.

Everton boast a multitude of in-form options as they roll up to Selhurst Park to face a defence with a single clean sheet to their name.

With five goals in seven, Romelu Lukaku has the chance to strengthen his claim for a role in our three-man frontlines as the Toffees embark on some excellent fixtures.

The in-form Zlatan Ibrahimovic has Stoke City in his sights as United pay visit to the bet365.

Having delivered a goal or assist in nine of his last 10 appearances, there’s no surprise to learn that 19.1% of FPL managers have handed Zlatan the Gameweek 22 armband – that’s more than any other player.

Middlesbrough host West Ham in the remaining match.

Michal Antonio was second only to Philippe Coutinho for transfers in amongst midfielders in the Gameweek on the back of a 15-ooint haul at home to Palace.

‘Boro are no pushovers at the Riverside, though. Aitor Karanka’s men have managed four clean sheets in their last six home outings – only Liverpool and Chelsea have netted against them over that run of matches.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    2. Dr. Mantis Toboggan
      • 7 Years

      Is a Zlatan assisted Phil Jones goal in the course of which Lee Grant is dismissed too much to ask for?

    No Stones is bad for Spurs 😆

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Nah, Bravo is in goal do

    2. George Sillett
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      The rest of their defence is also garbage tbh.

  13. Syd.
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Where is all this injury time coming from

    Blow the whistle refs

  14. Postman Ty
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Did denayer just lose his member, or was that a leg hit.

    1. Postman Ty
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      yup, direct clearance to the wang.

  15. Dušan Citizen
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Oh God, that keeper in the goal and no real DM.

    This is gonna be painful.

    1. Syd.
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      They would be better with a blow up Doll

      At least it might distract the opposing players

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Should have captained Kane, not making him VC only. Got Eriksen too.

  16. Venom Snake
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Fair to say that if Wimmer does well tonight, he's nailed on for the next month or so?

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

      Yes. Wimmer audition today - he might fluff it?

    2. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Yes. Davies will most likely play in FA cup and EL.

    3. Sess!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Still think I'd rather pay extra for rose/walker

  17. Fowler23
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Can't believe I actually want a Zlatan goal. Rival has Grant and doesn't have Zlatan

  18. Arteta
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Daniels and Lukaku, please do something.

  19. Optimus.
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    So the radio volume was right down an hour ago while I was in the barbers but over the chat going on I heard faint mention of "Pieters and og" so you can imagine my relief on the drive home having placed him 3rd on my bench..

    I'm just home and after refreshing my Fpl page 😐

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

      Did Pieters get the OG?

      1. Optimus.
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Nope, it seems he assisted a Mata og

      2. FrankieTheGent
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Pieters got the assist

    2. Syd.
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      You mug

      At least I have him second place on my bench

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

    Going to be hiding behind a huge sofa for the Arsenal game tomorrow

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

      All I have is my eyelids

  21. Danno - Emre Canada
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Anyone got any points today?

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

      I'll let you know in 20 minutes.

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

      Brunt

    3. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Maybe a Grant Cleanie. That's all. Would prefer Ibra goal though

      1. Dr. Mantis Toboggan
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Grant has 2 save points plus probably bonus points

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

      Chambers, Pieters and Brunt owner here 😀

    5. Dreams
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I got 4 till now.

  22. Mark-O
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    It's just gw22 (half of the season) and Holebas has 10 yellows.

    15 yellows seems likely before the end of the season!

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years

      Got anger control issues

    2. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Does he serve one match in the cup?

      1. Fred54
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Yes.

        1. RoysCallerAnne
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years

    Zlat(c) next week then after what looks like a rare blank.

  24. LaLaLand
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    United will definitely score, it will probably also be offside ..

  25. Fowler23
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Why they eff did I play my AOA chip. Origi 1 pointer and Pieters 1st sub

    1. George Sillett
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      That was pretty dim with Origi in your squad.

  26. Sif
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Robles good save to deny Tekkers

  27. Bubz
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Foster save point

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

      It'll come handy when they concede

  28. Dreams
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Lol@ me for selling firmino before this week and getting Coutinho.

  29. Hy liverpool
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Daniels got 25pts in two games , I bought him and he got 2 in 2

    1. Kun Tozser
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Not going to get a pen every game

      1. Sif
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Not now Stan is seemingly ahead of him.

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

      Same here. To be fair, I initially wanted Ake but then that stupid recall business.

  30. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Hold, Grant, hooooooold!
