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.

    Need 20pts from Siggy and Llorente minimum...

      Today or over the rest of the season? 🙁

    Alonso - Baines - Brunt - Jones* - 4.0

    Phillips - Sanches - Hazard* - Sigurdsson - Davies

    Ibra - Kane - Defoe*

    2FT and 1.5ITB

    a) Defoe, Haz and Jones --> Lukaku, Mané and Robertson (-4)

    b) Jones and Defoe --> Lukaku and 4.2 defender (unfortunately .1 short from Robertson)

    It's 3am why am I watching this garbage game

    1. evilfish
      • 8 Years

      Mildly more entertaining than watching your eyelids, I suppose.

      1. Fpl Richie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Debateable

    2. Digital-Real

      Because you sleep alone 😉

    Daniels and Ibra --> Robertson and Lukaku/Kane? Kane seems to have better fixtures, but Lukaku would give me enough funds for Stanislas to Siggy in GW 27 though. Although I could also lose Hazard for Siggy

    Plenty of gaps opening up here. Two dodgy defences.

      Mark, if you're reading this from the toilet, I'm sorry mate, it's not looking good.

      Still 3/4 to go though.

      1. Fpl Richie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Agreed. Having Siggy is enough. Leicester on top.

      2. fedolefan

        Don't those McAuley points get counted as Siggy points?

    • Jinswick
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Have the exact cash for Amat & Sterling -> F Mori & Barkley (-4)

      Worth doing before the FA cup games?

      Pickford
      Coleman, Brunt, Nyom, Amat
      Eriksen, Alli, Capoue
      Benteke, Carroll

      Cech, Valencia, Sterling, Sanchez, Ibra
      Bank 0.1m, 1FT

        7 years, 2 months ago

        Expect to take another -4.

        1. Jinswick
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Probably although nothing much appeals.

      2. Jeremy Corbyn
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Why don't you sell Sanchez? will drop 0.4 in three weeks, I think.

        1. Jinswick
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Who for? I'd need to bring in a GW28 player for it to be worth it and not much appeals.

      3. MTPockets
          7 years, 2 months ago

          I wouldn't take a hit for Barkley.

          1. Jinswick
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Sterling -> Barkley is for free, which would give me 10 starters + Amat this week. Plus I'm very short for GW28 so makes sense to take a hit now and bring someone in who plays GW26 and GW28 I think.

        Could manage a green arrow if Siggy does something.

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

          I'm the opposite. Not a good position to be in.

        Nice work from Mawson 🙂

        If you have Siggy you have to put up with the dross. But Siggy will get something from a set piece / penalty / long shot and then it will be good.

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

          Never captain, never bench, never watch.

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

            Sounds like Lukaku 😀

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

            Never own.

          3. evilfish
            • 8 Years

            Well that's 2 out of 3 that I have failed. 🙁

      7. Karan14
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Hazard or Mane?

        1. Jeremy Corbyn
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Mane

      8. tm245
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Nathan Dyer already in a cast on the bench.

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

          Most likely precautionary measures

        2. Business Cat
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          Or just wears massive oversized boots irl

      9. Oven Glover
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        With blanks in mind, would you:

        Pogba -> Coutinho/Firmino (can't afford Mane)
        Sanchez-> Hazard

        ?

        Cheers!

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

          Wait and see what happens with the Leicester game in the FA Cup. And the FA Cup games in general

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

          Pogba > Firmino

      10. TheBusDriver
        • 8 Years

        Since almost everyone now has Siggy, he'll 100% blank.

        1. Oven Glover

          You really can fuel a time machine with garbage!

        2. diesel001

          Disagree.

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

        If Leicester win all their remaining games, they have a chance at clenching the title. Swansea are in the same boat though.. Make or break game for both sides this one!

        1. fiveyears
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Clenching the title? Bit disgusting that

        7 years, 2 months ago

        Just spotted that Man Utd have 2 Europa league ties and a FA cup game before GW26 and Chelsea have just one FA cup match in which Hazard and Costa will no doubt be rested. This makes Ibra > Costa this week a no brainer for me now.

        1. Team Cruel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          United don't even have a GW26...

            • 11 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Doh! Yeah they don't play in league again till 4th of March

          Good spot.

          Also efl cup final so thats 4 matches before next PL game

        Siggy (C) not really filling me with confidence after that first half hour...

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

          Neither was Sanchez(c) - look how that turned out.

          Give it time. His chance will come.

      14. Morgs
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        If Arsenal and united win their FA cup games:

        Sanchez and Ibra to Haz and Lukaku?

        Have no money invested in either so can easily buy back after gw28

        1. Les Bleus
          • 12 Years

          Yep

        How has this Leicester team qualified for the knockout stage of the Champions League?

        1. Oven Glover
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Easy group

            • 12 Years

            Easier than Swansea?

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

        Tom Carroll looks good. He's everywhere on the pitch. Could easily pick a few goals over the remainder of the season

        1. Business Cat
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Already installed as my 5th mid...ideal player

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

          I should transfer Stanislas out for Carroll

      18. fedolefan
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Siggy is the one with the orange boots, right? Need to know when my heart rate rises are warranted.

      19. Jay_
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Schmeichel saves Routledge shot from Siggy flick on. Then Siggy shoots wide in space of a minute.
