Dugout Discussion

Dugout Discussion – Bournemouth vs Man City

Gameweek 25 concludes at the Vitality Stadium with Bournemouth paying host to Pep Guardiola’s Mancheseter City.

Once again Pep’s teamsheet steals the pre-match headlines, with Gabriel Jesus preferred as his central striker, leaving Sergio Aguero on the bench for a third successive outing.

Transferred in by more than 210,000 ahead of Gameweek 25, Jesus is skippered by 156,000 tonight up against a Cherries defence that has shipped more Premier League goals than any other side in 2017, conceding three or more in eight of their last twelve matches.

That defence is at last bolstered tonight by an array of returnees, as Charlie Daniels, Simon Francis and Adam Smith all overcome knocks to claim berths.

Elsewhere, manager Eddie Howe prefers Jordan Ibe to Junior Stanislas on the right flank, as Josh King again leads the attack.

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

    How many points in autosubs have you got?
    30 for me with majority forced.
    Mark has 40 with most being lucky 🙂

      What's the difference between forced and lucky?

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

        I played Marney this week and benched Lukaku. That's not lucky.

        Benchwankery??

        Forced equals playing a suspended/injured player etc with no chance for points.

      4. Pea Soup
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        They're called 'look at me' points

    2. Pea Soup
      • 12 Years

      Should be half points

      1. Uncle Gamst

      Haven't a clue

      Probably -3 knowing my luck

        1. Syd.
          • 14 Years

          37

        2. Smurf
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          I have 21 points.

      Mark is the master of the autosub

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

        Should be half points for auto subs.
        Granville has a point. Picking the right starting 11 should be rewarded.

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

          A late injury equals bad luck?

          Can't punt on GK return either.

          Dead teams become even more dead.

    5. Al Bundy

      31 atm, but it will be 40 after my sweet Allen points are registered

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

      I very rarely have autosub tbh as I pick nailed on players.

          • 9 Years

          Must have been some wonkers in there

    7. Ibracadabra
      • 14 Years

        • 14 Years

    12. Qubit
      • 14 Years

      Just the 5 for me apparently.

    13. Cheltnamshire LaLaLa
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Also on 4. Will be getting 2 from phillips tonight though. Shocking effort

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

      26pts... I can't check but I may have played some benched*nkery too... 212pts from unused subs which will only go up with McAuley benched this week 🙂

    15. Firminooooo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      20

    16. b✪mber
      • 8 Years

      31, but 6 are wankery

    17. skindogg
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      a massive 2!

      but I'm happy with my 77.... and I've got Sterling and Brunt!

    18. wowBOBwow
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I have 134 autosub points, true story.

      Mainly because I bench Heaton for Robinson every week.

  2. F4L
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Keep Eriksen, yes or no?

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

      Depends who for?

      1. F4L
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Mane, would be for a hit however

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

          No not for a hit.

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

      Ask after the Fulham game.

      1. F4L
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        well, he's playing in gw28, I know that much 😉

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

          I hope so. Then he's a keeper 😉

    3. AK ⭐
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Keep definitely. 2 home games coming up.

    4. Ibracadabra
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Yes, keep. 2 home games, class player, will contribute. Sell prior to GW28 most likely.

    5. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Yes good fixtures

  3. Kiwivillan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Rival in 3rd has 8 players for 26 and 2 for 28 as it stands 😆

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Was fearful of triple city tonight now laughing

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

      You should only ever be looking up.

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

      Mine has Jak for 28 .That's it .

      1. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years

        😆

    4. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah, but he may then pick the ones in form rather than the ones we're carrying.

      1. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Only have 4 and happy. He has 2 dead players all season Bruce and Lenihan

    5. F4L
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      best time to catch dem casuals

  4. Twisted Saltergater
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Pieters (8 pts) in for Stanislas, and a final hurrah from Aguero. Could've been much worse.

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

      You're right. You could have had no players tonight and a Brunt autosub 😉

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Nicely played 😛

    2. AK ⭐
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Well played TS. I didn't care enough to put Yoshida first bench so Barnes is coming in for me.

      Also, what are you doing with Stan? Going down tonight it seems.

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Cheers AK. Am thinking of spending the Aguero funds and bringing Mané in for Stanislas. Yes, Liverpool probably don't play GW28, but as it stands, maybe even Stanislas doesn't!

        1. AK ⭐
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Forget 28, don't even know if he plays next.

          I do have Chambers in my squad so I can play him away at Palace instead of losing 4 points to get rid of Stan. Really hope Burnley lose to Lincoln, Mane in for me too if that happens.

          1. Twisted Saltergater
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Yep, I'll definitely wait for the FA Cup fixtures to play out. Who knows, we may get a few surprises!

            1. AK ⭐
              • 11 Years
              7 years, 2 months ago

              I think we will. Definitely worth holding till then!

      2. Twisted Saltergater
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I bought at 5.1m so can afford the drop. Just don't know if he's worth keeping.

        I can see Liverpool tearing Leicester to shreds as Huth and Morgan have no pace and are so low on confidence at the minute. Surely Liverpool cut through them like a knife through warm butter...

        1. AK ⭐
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          You never know with Liverpool. They can beat the best team on the planet on their day, and lose to a non-league team the very next!

          But you can't go wrong with Mane, they have a lot of home games remaining and looked so fresh against Spurs.

          1. Alexis Nonsense
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            mané scores even if they loose...

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

    Who are peoples 1st subs for next GW? I'm thinking of Hazard coming in for Ibra 😛

    1. F4L
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Tom pope captain, Kaku vc

  6. Kizza_10
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Any reason why Stanislas hasn't played the last two games ?

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

      Benched.

    2. PÍE

      Out of favour it seems

    3. TorresMagic™

      Out of favour.

    4. 1966 was a great year for E…
      • 13 Years

      He's not really very good.

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

      He's never really been a nailed starter.

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        This.

    6. Team Bobcat
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      He is obviously out of favour and I doubt he will be in any time soon.

    That Jesus injury has done me in. Especially with s blank

    Heaton

    Phillips -> Mane for a hit?

    1. F4L
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      neigh, maybe, depends

    2. Team Bobcat
      • 7 Years

      There must be another player you could swap him for.

      Philips at home to BOU & CRY PAL next 2.

    3. Ibracadabra

      No.

  9. dunas_dog

    Assuming no injuries for next few weeks Sanchez to ?

    A Barkley (SUN, Spurs, WBA, Hull)
    B Mane (Leicester, ARS, Burnley*, MCI)
    C Hazard ( SWA, West Ham, WAT* Stoke)

    * likely blanks. Ignores chance Leicester v Liverpool date changes)

    1. F4L
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      B for me

    2. Karan14
      • 8 Years

      Hazard.

    3. kawaiii

      Barkley , best fixtures, and guaranteed games

    4. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Thanks all ,1 vote for each so a difficult choice! I agree on fixtures and no blanks Barkley best choice but other 2 bit more explosive......

  10. UpAndAway

    Pull the trigger on Ibra to Costa now or wait?

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

      Why now?

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

      new to the site? absolutely wait.

    3. 1966 was a great year for E…
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      This is one of those points in the season when it's worth a 0.2 or 0.3 price swing to wait and see.

    4. F4L
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Pull the trigger

    5. FPLtfs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      If you lose value on Ibras drop, so yes imo. Safe transfer.

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

        No transfer is safe with 2 weeks to wait.

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

          Ibra - Sanchez pretty safe now. Following your logic no transfer is ever safe, really 😉

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

            No transfer is safe. It's just safer the less time there is. 😉

            2 weeks is a very long time though, game or no game.

            1. AK ⭐
              • 11 Years
              7 years, 2 months ago

              +1

            2. Epic Fail
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              7 years, 2 months ago

              Don't forget, it's not just injuries to your transfer target you have to worry about. Injuries to other players can change your plans too.

            3. FPLtfs
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 7 Years
              7 years, 2 months ago

              Agreed. We can agree on the fact that Ibra will blank gw26 as well 😉

  11. Sergio Giorgini
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Sterling's BPs have just been adjusted to 34 - provided no-one left to update that means he'll get the 3 baps. Sterling (c) = 20 pts, get in!

    1. Viper

      Wow, well played.

        Yeah kind of, but then I had McAuley at the wknd so what goes round comes round

    So Jesus is out for sure, and maybe Sanchez to get him later. Already have Lukaku Costa Alli Eriksen

    1FT

    A. Sanchez, Jesus -> Hazard and 11.2 striker ( 0.1 short to get Kane)

    B. Sanchez -> Hazard, bench Jesus and play Siggy

    C. Sanchez, Jesus -> Kane and a Liverpool Mid

    D. Just replace Jesus and bench Alexis - with whom? defoe? Must be registered 10.0

    Long way to go but debating Alli to Sterling from GW28 onwards.

    what are my fellow stanislas owners doing?

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

      Probably wondering why they bothered

    2. PÍE
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Waiting for a bit.
      Seeing what happens once FA Cup games have played.
      Assess situation then.

    3. Sponge-worthy
      • 11 Years

      Not keeping, but don't know what to do.

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

      Not an owner, but you should keep. He gets points other players score.

    5. GHB
      • 13 Years

      Leaving as 5th mid for now until I need to get rid

  16. The Big Fella
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Does Lukaku generally do better against superior or weaker opposition?

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

      Weaker. He loves dem easy fixtures.

      1. The Big Fella
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Don't we all!

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

          Not Hazard..

          1. The Big Fella
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Yeah. Another massive troll.

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

          I prefer to challenge myself

          First challenge is a goal in the Premier League

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

      Most players do better against weaker.

      7 of Lukaku's goals this year have come against Sunderland / Bournemouth in 2 games.

      The issue with Lukaku is that he has these explosive games but follows them up with mediocre games which is baffling. He doesn't keep the form over the course of a season a la a world class Sanchez or in the past Suarez, RVP, Aguero. Of course, he is much younger.

      That said, he can score against anybody.

      1. The Big Fella
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        This is why I generally don't buy him but Aguero had to go and there are so few options for the blanks so.... there is he. He is such a troll I'll have to keep him for the season too.

      2. Alexis Nonsense
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Lukaku plays for a weaker team than the world class players he's being compared to

        This might also explain some of it

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

          Correct, but there are also consistent FPL options of the past few years that tick along week in and week out even though they don't win the title.

          I own Lukaku and he's great during this period and is excellent value for the money, it's just important not to expect him to produce week in and week out consistent returns a la Aguero or others... He will blank more frequently.

          In the past there have been many FPL players who stayed consistent over the course of a season even without being on title challenging teams.

    Although he profited tonight with a City clean sheet I'm looking forward to my ML rivals team next GW. He wildcarded this GW including the following players:

    Caballero
    Kolarov
    Yoshida
    Valencia
    Walcott
    Mhki
    Jesus

    1. Ha.
      • 8 Years

      Someone else had a rival who did something similar

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

        Lucky them 😉

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

      must be an easy mini league... 🙂

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

        Not really unfortunately. He was No.1 in the world in November and is still in the top 300 now.

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

          Wow - he just missed looking ahead entirely in the fixtures? Has he played for many years? Seems absurd to WC with so many blanking players. A core principle of the wildcard is checking upcoming fixtures...

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

            It's his 2nd season.

            God knows what he based his WC on but clearly he hasn't looked at the fixtures.

            I kinda admire his transfer policy though, very much shoot from the hip and go with the gut. Even if it's going to hurt him next week.

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

              Yup, only one gameweek, but he can always take a -8 or so to rectify, ha. Good luck to you closing the gap...

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

                He will make the gap up with a gutsy captain.

                Thanks, I'll need it.

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

            Exactly. Especially when every week he brings in players they do well.

            Fegouhli this week.

        3. ChristoBisto
          • 8 Years

          Well he's about to take a tumble.

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

            I'm sure he will keep afloat with a wonder captaincy pick.

  18. Syd.
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Man City boss Pep Guardiola has spoken to Sky Sports about Gabriel Jesus' injury.

    "Tomorrow morning we will know exactly. Hopefully – I will pray tonight – it will not be a big issue."

    1. 1966 was a great year for E…
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      He played on for a little bit after the injury, didn't look too bad.

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

        He just didn't want to be involved on a cold dark night in Bournemouth.

    2. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Praying for Jesus. I see what Pep did there...

  19. Vintervilan
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    So what do I do with my 2 FT?

    Grant Jakupovic
    Alonso Walker Brunt Kingsley Holebas
    Sanchez Alli Eriksen Philips De Roon
    Defoe Ibrahimovic Lukaku

    Thinking of doing Sanchez/Ibra for Hazard/Costa. Or maybe bench Sanchez and do Costa for Ibra and Eriksen/Alli for suggested mid?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Start sorting for GW28. Wait until next week so you have a good idea on who is playing.

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

        But neither Sanchez or Ibra are playing next gameweek right? Shouldn't I handle that problem first?

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Perhaps lose one of them. Hazard/Costa may not play in 28.
          Currently you have 4 for GW28.

    2. Four Four Boyz
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Get rid of Ibra. He is going to drop and you need another decent striker in that bunch.

    Niasse - nailed to start this weekend v Burnley at home?

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

      Not nailed and would still be in a Hull kit if he was...

      1. KISSES
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        They look better, a lot better and Burnley are rubbish away from home.

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

      FA cup w/e mate. But yeah, Hernandez is out for a while (4 weeks).

      1. KISSES
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Sorry, for next GW. Good stuff, just checked his mins and it does look like he took over from the Hernandez injury.

        No threat from Mbakoni? He hasn't played a minute under Silva yet.

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

          He's looked good, took a fine Cech save to keep out a good header on Saturday. Looks 'nailed' until Hernandez returns to challenge. Might get him myself if Big Andy's groin doesn't improve.

          1. KISSES
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Yep just looking at next 3 GW really for him. Cheers mate.

  21. Melvin Udall
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Have Ibra and Sanchez. Can field an 11 without a hit next week nit the team has Kone and Holgate/Diamonde. Would lose too much selling Sanchez so he stays.

    Would you -4 for Ibra to Costa (I have Hazard and Lukaku already)

    Yes or No.

    1. Lyonnais
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      No, keep Ibra for GW27 imo.

  22. Bobby_Baggio
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Evening people. After some advice please. 2FT & 0.1m ITB.

    Heaton
    Luiz - Jones - Baines
    Sanchez - Antonio - Alli - Siggy
    Ibra - Costa - Lukaku

    Nyom - Chambers - DeRoon

    A) Jones > Yoshida/Funes Mori
    B) Ibra > Kane
    C) Anyone else

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

      First piece of advice, hold transfer until after European and FA Cup fixtures.

      I would most likely do A (Jones out) however but not to Yoshida as he has no fixture in GW26.

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

        ah my bad - wanted jones out tonight due to his price fall. WOuld you double up on everton defence?

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

          I see no issue with an EVE double up as they have great fixtures 26, 28, and 29 and one difficult one (27). You could bench Funes Mori at Spurs in 27 if you bring him in and play the more attacking player Baines and be all set.

          You could be rewarded with 2 clean sheets / 4 gameweeks which would be an excellent return in that price range.

          Another option is Ibra to Kane if Spurs lose to Fulham or Sanchez to Eriksen if Spurs lose to Fulham.

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

            cheers mate some decent advice!

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

    Weird Question I know but what position would you prefer to be in

    A. Be 62 points ahead with wildcard & bench boost used

    B. Trailing A but with Bench boost + Wildcard

    I'm clutching at reasons to be optimistic here 😆

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      B

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

      B. if my team value is significantly high. If not, then A.

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

        I have a TV of 105.5 and SV of 103.7

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

          Solid - if the WC gets played properly and you benefit from 1-2 more Captains who score 15+ you will be in excellent shape.

    3. Harper (No more Penandes)
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      B 100%

    4. Al Bundy
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      B. Defending leads is terrible, much more fun to attack from behind. And, bb + wc for dgws is massive

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

      Interesting, I was sure everyone else would go A.

      I have a selling value of 103.7

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        If you can make ground is the blank period 26-28, you can transform your team much easier.

    6. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      A is clearly the better position to be in.

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

      I guess A. WC and bench boost is not worth 62 points in my opinion. But careful planning is needed.

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

      B, Its more fun to chase.

    9. TLF
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I'd say B, I'm 50 points behind my mini league leader, we both have TC & BB but I also have WC remaining. I'm hoping my planning for the blanks/DGW's will be the difference. You can make the difference up, keep the faith 🙂

    10. Qubit
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Think id rather be in position A, just.

  25. TOBY1
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Jesus will be straight back in the team as soon as he's fit again. From the interview just then you can tell he's not that bothered with Aguero.

    When Toure came back in he wouldn't stop saying how amazing he is. Nothing of the sort for Aguero.

    I'm happy to bench Jesus for now. Don't know who I'd swap him for.

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

      Someone with fixtures?

    2. Alexis Nonsense
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Me too, I'm keeping Jesus on the bench

      No one to replace him

  26. Lyonnais
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    2 FT: Sanchez + Stanislas ---> Hazard + Barkley

    Yes or No?

    Bought Sanchez for 11.8 and Stanislas for 5.2, so every price drop will affect my selling price. Could be a 0.6 swing.

  27. wulfrunian
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    I imagine +7 points the average cause of Kun...?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Sterling and Aguero added 1.1 each to overall average. Autosubs added 2.8

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Stones was another 1.1

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

        thanks TM

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

      Maybe, but that's a whole lot of casuals, not many active players will have Kun.

  28. OneDennisBergkamp
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Sanchez is 11.4m if i sell him (11.8m) I don't really want to but how much is he going to drop? would it be worth selling to buy him back?

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

      Took 11.6 out here, could drop to 11.2 maybe by 29?

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

        I want him back by GW28. Not sure what to do.

        1. 1966 was a great year for E…
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          He misses GW28 unless Arsenal lose to Sutton. And maybe Leicester have to lose as well, I can't remember.

          1. TorresMagic™
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Yep, both need to lose for Arsenal to play 28.

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

          Won't be much use in 28 if ARS or LEI win their respective cup games. 29@WBA is my target.

    2. 1966 was a great year for E…
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I can't see him going much lower than 11.5, it's not like he's red flagged for 3 weeks.

      You need to ship someone to field XI next week, would keep Jesus seeing as you have him. Ibra > Lukaku or Yoshida > Nyom/Robertson

      Shop for Lukaku. That's the best advice you'll get!

      I have costa and Kane and can't afford anyone else.
