Dugout Discussion

Dugout Discussion – Swansea City vs Leicester City

After goals from Pedro and Robbie Brady saw the spoils shared at Turf Moor, we make our way to the Liberty as Swansea seek to build momentum under Paul Clement.

Gylfi Sigurdsson is the focal point in the 4pm kick-off, with the playmaker looking to score for the fourth successive Gameweek, having netted against Liverpool, Southampton and Man City in each of his previous league outings.

With a pair of assists also accrued over the last five, the Icelandic international was the most transferred in player for Gameweek 25, with 229,000+ new owners snapping up his services.

Given that the hosts are currently one of just six sides set to play in both Gameweek 26 and 28, the likes of Fernando Llorente and Alfie Mawson could also play their way into our short-term plans.

Leicester, meanwhile, have struggled for form at either end of the pitch. With one goal in seven and a single clean sheet away from home all season, Claudio Ranieri’s men have done little to persuade us they are worthy of investment right now.

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

        Ownership in the MNF game is quite low outside Jesus.

        1. Lawrø

          7 years, 2 months ago

          Jesus has 23.3% EO, that's enough to cause concern... well by my book anyway 🙂

          Where are you predicted anyway? You may be deep enough into 2k not to care

          1. Lawrø
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Autosubs and Stanimal to come as well...

            Don't bother looking at predictions. Around 2K.

      Congratulations TM. What's your highest rank till now in all seasons? I mean season ending rank.

        My link shows it.

        1. Dreams
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Oh yes. What about the OR in a season? We're you ever in top 500 or sth?

          1. TorresMagic™
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 14 Years

            About 500th a couple of times.

            1. Dreams
              • 7 Years
              7 years, 2 months ago

              I would die of happiness if I ever reach a rank like that.

    i pity the fool who (c) siggy over Sanchez

    including myself

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Burnt by Jaku being a headless chicken but better than the rest!

    2. rogerbarton
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      It's okay, I went for Costa over Sanchez...

    3. Duffy Dunk
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I did Ciggy too, but knowing Sanchez was fortunate to get away with a handgoal, Arsenal not have a player sent off and scoring their 2nd in the last moments by a penalty, I just feel unlucky this time

      1. Duffy Dunk
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Part of this lack of luck was missing Brunt's assist too

    4. All Hail K
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Sanchez captainer here but I respect those who took a punt and went against the 'safe' choice. Didn't exactly blank.

  3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

      • 11 Years

      This is what I'm doing.

      1. NestorC

    2. Yank Revolution

  10. Athletic Nasherbo
    • 7 Years

    Just to be sure.

    Zlatan PP 11.2 SP 11.4 CP 11.6

      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Of course it does.

      1. Now I'm Panicking
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Bit harsh

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          After 8 seasons of playing, you would expect to know by now.

    2. Viper
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      It does

    3. Les Bleus
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Yep it does.

    4. Shultan
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Yes

    5. Fred54
      • 9 Years

    6. S.Kuqi
      • 11 Years

    7. HVT
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      It does

  12. Viper
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    61 all out.

    Another average score and another week where I've got the captaincy wrong.

    1. Crow
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      60-4, but had sanchez captain. I think 61 is above average this week lad

      1. Viper
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Really? None of my players done a huge amount and I didn't captain Sanchez

        1. Crow
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Whole spurs and chelsea except pedro blank, 61 is definitely good
          My alli&eriksen blanking for idk how long...

    2. Lawrø

      *grabs pitchfork*

      1. Viper
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Why? 🙂

        I never hit those bumper scores, always in the 'meh' territory

        1. Lawrø
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Top 1k average is 51

          average is 40

          (According to fantasy football fix)

          1. Viper
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            I presumed that would higher, thanks.

            Need to start nailing my captain choice though

    3. Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Decent , very much so without Sanchez Cpt

    4. tm370
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Clearly not average....

      1. Viper
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Not enough to trouble the top 10k again unfortunately.

        It certainly isn't poor though, I know that

  13. Crow
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    If you had to get out either of alexis/ibra, who would it be?
    Also who would you bring in instead?

    1. Viper
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I think I'm doing Ibra - > Lukaku

      1. Yellin' in my Ear
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I did this

    2. Dreams
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Alexis to hazard/ mane/ siggy.

    3. MTPockets

        Depends who else you have.

    4. GE
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Best max 4.5 mid?

      1) Mawson
      2) Maguire + 0.1 itb
      3) Robertson + 0.2 itb
      4) other?

      1. Viper
        • 14 Years

      2. John Nerdelbaum
        • 11 Years

      3. MTPockets
          7 years, 2 months ago

          • 9 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Yeah baby.

        2. S.Kuqi
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Considering pretty much similar move but isn't Lei-Liv game in danger being post poned?

          1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Yes and in that case i will keep Alexis or get hazard

            I am waiting till fa cup games, too risky to do moves now but just thinking if might do these if all goes well

        3. Dreams
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Yes

        4. Fred54
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Blackburn are gonna beat Man Utd, meaning no blank for United in GW28.

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

        64 all out. OR predicted to 90k. need city game to be quiet and boring. if jesus and kun blank i ll take this score.

        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        so its 5-3-2 next gw

        valdez // foster

        coleman walker brunt alonso mcauley

        alli mane siggy // sterling sanchez

        defoe lukaku(c)

        1. Fred54
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Heh, toying with the idea of being Brunt in for Amat and playing 5 at the back and our defence would be identical.

          1. FootballFanatic365
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            has been really tough as ive benched like 15 odd points for the last 4 weeks .so hopefully this time it works

        2. Yellin' in my Ear
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          5-3-2 as well here (Baines instead of mcauley, otherwise same defenders)

      8. PvA
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        59 all out decent?

        1. marquinhos
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Got the same tally and I think it's alright

        2. Rainer
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          For now, depends on Jesus though.

      9. marquinhos
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Sanchez --> Mane & Cedric--> Mawson

        Both will cost -4

        Thoughts?

      10. St. Joseph
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Anyone knows how many yellow cards left to get Michail Antonio banned

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

        Horrible watching that without Siggy - he's like Roy of the decking Rovers.

        Takes the pens, the free kicks, the corners, always looking for the ball, shoots on sight...

        1. Viper
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          His set pieces are so so dangerous

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

            Yeah, that's the other thing - he's actually good at them too!

        2. HVT
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Why not buy so??

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

            Difficult this week, plus didn't fancy Chelsea fixture. After that, of course.

            1. HVT
              • 13 Years
              7 years, 2 months ago

              What's next for you?
              Keeping selling Alexis/Ibra?

      12. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        64 all out . One all draw now tomorrow night with a couple of own goals please.

        1. Dreams
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          34 here. Depending on a Sterling hattrick. please don't laugh.

        2. Old Man
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Preferably both Jesus OGs, or maybe one OG for KDB

      13. The Red Devil
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        2016 Feb- Leicester can't win the league

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

          True dat Daz

        2. Viper
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Not too many saying they can't be relegated to be fair, they look awful

      14. Atimis
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Who is the best cheap def from Swansea or Hull ?

        1. Viper
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Maguire

          1. Atimis
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Not Robertson ?

            1. Smurf
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              7 years, 2 months ago

              No Robertson. You're right. Maguire not nailed.

        2. Toure The Route
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Robertson I think
          But the Swansea full back at 0.2 more seems to attack a bit more.

      15. Mark-O
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Where are Jesus owners? o/

        1. HVT

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

        Swansea do realise that they've not bought the good Ayew brother, right?

        1. Netley Lucas
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Thought he might have started today, was 3rd choice on the right lol

        2. Dreams
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Yes. He may come good for them. Let's see.

      17. PlayPercentage
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Any point keeping Holgate?
        Seems like Everton now playing with a back four, rather than 3 + 2 wing-backs.

          I'm keeping him JUST IN CASE I need him for GW28. Everton's one of 6 with a confirmed fixture. In case all PL teams win, one possible point from Holgate is better than none

            I can't see Holgate playing in GW26.
            I could swap him out for Robertson, a guaranteed starter.

              Go for it then. Holgate is my 12th player for 26 (now 13th - just bought Mane for Sanchez), so I can afford to risk it. If you don't mind taking a potential hit for GW28, it's better to fix your GW26 potential.
              Btw majorly tempted by Mawson now. At 4.5, not bad. Not worth it for GW26 though (Che, away)
