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.

        Actually, Mawson, I like the cut of his jib.

    4. Sweetboi

      Tricky, Funes Mori or Robertson

      1. Old Bull

        Take a punt on Mawson and keep the change

      Evans ? (Not a joke!)

  2. Vinyl78LP

    ...needing to find a Stanislas replacement for GW28 as it stands is an unwanted distraction.

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

      Snodgrass ftw

    2. Dazzler365
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      It wasn't in the planning a few weeks back. Also have Philips in line for gw28 who hasn't returned in weeks

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

      This is where GW28 is a pain. It's always tempting to keep him and hope but you're potentially losing points all the way

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

      Annoying, but that's why they're cheap.

    5. noquarternt
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Same. Think a lot brought him in specifically for next week. West Ham mid probably the answer.

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

      I'll hold him

    7. Team Bobcat
      • 7 Years

      A hull gamble might work

      1. Alexis Nonsense

    There was a hot topic last week-ish that was talking about the WC strategy not revolving around the DGWs. My team is doing rotten and was curious to see what someone else was thinking.

    Anyone have that link?

    1. That Was Easy!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Grant - Foster
      Williams - Cedric - Holebas - Brunt - Amat
      Sanchez - Eriksen - Phillips - Siggy - DeRoon
      Ibra - Kane - Jesus

      Jesus possibly injured and with a blank, Ibra, Sanchez and Cedric all with blanks too..

      1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        You have to weigh up the pros and cons, either way you'll have to ride out price drops until the FA cup games are done. Else risk an early WC and start sorting things out now

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

        Don't WC. Bench Ibra and take Sanchez + Jesus out for Hazard and Lukaku. You'll instantly have a team very similar to most others on here.

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

    Team feels a bit fecked now

    Foster
    Valencia Brunt Baines Chambers Amat
    Sanchez Alli Stan Phillips Davies
    Jesus Costa Luk

    any transfer advice? want rid

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      FTs? Money?

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

      Jesus to Kane if you have the cash
      if not go for a cheap 3rd

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

      Have 1.1 itb and used the FT on Ibra -> Costa.
      Either rid of Sanchez or Jesus for a hit?

    Bought Zlatan at 11.2 now he worth 11.6, dropping one tonight.
    Should i sell him tonight to bank the 0.2? cause would probably drop again untill gw26

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

      You'll only lose 0.1 in selling value if he drops 0.2. Just wait til after the FA Cup.

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Depends on a few things

    3. noquarternt
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      If you dont want all his BOU points, then go ahead.

    4. Adams6
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I'm the same but waiting with the transfer is worth more than 0.1 with the massive uncertainty of the FA cup this week. Who are getting anyway?

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

      Ok, ill leave him in the team. will probably sell Sanchez.

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

      I did Ibra -> Lukaku before Lukaku went from 9.8 to 9.9. If both change 0.3 it's worth it. I had 2FT before that move - if you have only 1FT I would wait.

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

        Ibra will be flat out getting to 11.4 this GW.

  7. It’s gonna Ben Mee

    What to do with Phillips?

    1. Kuyt Hero
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Keep. Good fixtures and no blanks, crazy to get rid

      1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Will definitely keep this GW but think I must get rid of him asap. Blank machine. Lanzini?

        1. Kuyt Hero
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          I'm gonna keep and get rid GW29. West Ham mid a good idea but you can probably get one of them in for someone who blanks GW28, providing you can't put out a full team for that GW yet

    2. Old Bull
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I got shot of him this week so bound to prove me wrong next GW. Was very tempted not to sell but I'm the impatient type

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

      Get rid. I swapped two weeks ago. I took him and stanislas out for sterling and siggy, needless to say I'm 24 points bbetter off. Phillips place could be in doubt with evans back, nyom to left back, brunt up to midfield, so two positions for Phillips,Morrison and chadli. Morrison and chadli looking better than Phillips. Maybe to snoddy/lanzini or even chadli(has pens)

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

    Still fuming at the Sterling non-assist disgrace.

    1. Vinyl78LP
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      It got him 3 baps, was behind the City defenders on bps until then. Key pass/Big Chance/Dribble points etc

      Can't understand how you still don't have a Chelsea defender, so has to be Alonso.

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

      Who cares about blank. You have four other defenders playing. Get him in, alonso that is

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

    Thoughts on this team?

    Heaton

    Alonso Baines Coleman Brunt

    Phillips Alli Eriksen King

    Lukaku Carroll

    Pickford Ibra Sanchez Love

    0FT 1.0ITB

    Would bringing in someone for Ibra/sanchez for 3 gw's be a good idea? I don't mind hits

    1. Virgil Hilts
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Hang on until after all the European & FA Cup games.

      For instance Spurs play 3 times before next GW & you have 2 of their players. If one gets a nasty injury in one of the Europa League games & the other gets a red card in the FA Cup & 3 match ban you'll certainly be looking at bringing in replacements for Alli & Erikson before Sanchez & Ibra.

      Got to be patient this GW.

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

        Yeah, this is the point.

        My planned GW26 transfers are pretty unlikely to change whatever the FAC5 results are. But United and Spurs play 3 times before GW26 deadline and an injury there might make a big difference.

        Transfers should slow to a trickle from tomorrow anyway.

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

    When do you think Sanchez will fall.

    Very close to doing Sanchez our for mane or for hazard.

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

      Stat's have -81% and Fix have -78% and predict tomorrow night fall.

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

      Mane might have a blank next week.

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

        Oh yeah, where is it... here;

        Gotta wait mate, Millwall v Leicester City, might draw, replay midweek 26, Leicester v Liverpool is on Monday of week 26.

        Copy and paste lol

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

      Thanks all. Hard to wait... if Sanchez will fall tomorrow I'm thinking just bite the bullet and have hazard for a week or may even get eriksen. Spurs have got to bounce back soon.

  12. Rains of Castamere
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    How many Jesus ----> Gabbiadini transfers will we see over the next two weeks 😉

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Don't see the rush as neither will play

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

        The irony

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

      Hopefully a lot.

    3. Adams6
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      There's one

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

    Jak
    Nyom Baines Brunt Pva Daniels
    Hazard Alli Phillips Siggy
    Lukaku

    Subs
    Grant Crouch Ibra Sanchez.

    Can I save transfer this week?

    1. I Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah definitely.

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

      yes. nice

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

    Costa rising as fast as anyone and only 1 shot on target last 3 games. 24pts last 6 games lol. Don't understand the love for him at that price

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      The blanks are messing with everyone's head. This is not the time to catch price rises.

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

      Cuz they know he'll start scoring again. It's an obvious alternative to Aguero if you have the others. Also a better option than Hazard for chelsea attacking returns

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

        I have Alonso and that's it. If I wanted Chelsea attacking if get Pedro

    3. noquarternt
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Blankz

    4. Caleb's Kitties
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Stats count for nothing when he plays swansea

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

        Swansea are a different team under new manager

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

      Class is permanent, form is temporary. He has been one of the most consistent strikers this srason in fpl. Just hope his Christmas shenanigans hasn't effected him going forward ( owners only)

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

      What other strikers are as good or cheaper than costa and with GW26.

      I have lukaku already...

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

        I'd rather bench Ibra and have Kane and Lukaku

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

      He will score against SWA

  15. Crystal Ball
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Have exact cash for Ibra, Stanislas and Cedric to Lukaku, Mane and Robertson (-8), how does this sound?

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

      That sounds good to me to be honest. Not usually a fan of 8 pointers though

      1. Crystal Ball
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        yeah i know, but given that ibra and cedric blanking twice (in all likelihood) and stanislas can't be relied on to start, looks fairly good

    2. Adams6
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Mental. Unless your crystal ball is very reliable.

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

      I'd do it, all 3 are not playing, well worth -8

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

      If you can't get 8 or more out next week, go for it.

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

    Is this team strong enough to play without selling Sanchez or am I better off ditching anyway?

    Jaku (Grant)

    Coleman Alonso Brunt McAuley (Amat)

    Philips Sigurdsson Alli (Sanchez Capoue)

    Carroll Lukaku (c) Kane

    Amat - > Maguire also on the menu. I could nearly save a transfer either?

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

      Pretty decent for 26.

    2. Kuyt Hero
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Saving is prob a good idea. You'd be happy with all your starters anyway. You could potentially do Sanchez to anyone u want and bench Carroll/Siggy, but I would prob just leave it tbh

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

        Amat - > Maguire not a good idea for gwk 26 & 28?

        1. Kuyt Hero
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Yea for sure, but u have Jaku anyway and I wouldn't feel comfortable having double Hull (ever) haha. I'm gonna do the same transfer at some point, but might save and do it for either 27/28 just in case of any injuries etc. I guess getting him in and benching GW26 is fine as well

    3. Mithrandir, the Grey Pilgri…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Hold Fire. Lovely defence, similar to mine.

      If you don't need Sanchez funds to upgrade no point getting rid.

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

      keep sanchez looks grand

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

      You can get away with it I think, nice 4-3-3 and you have a lovely Siggy v Alonso hedge.

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

        Tempted to bring in Maguire to give me an extra starter instead of a non starter

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

          Who would you bench though, assuming Carroll is fine?

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

            Very tough decision for sure.

            It's mad but maybe Siggy. Can't see Swansea scoring

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

              You know what will happen? lol gl bud 😉

    6. Crystal Ball
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      reckon save this week, you'll only want sanchez back in a few weeks, strong enough team

  17. Jedi_Reed
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Is it worth doing Ibra > Costa now to avoid the rises/drops? Or do I need to be captain sensible and ride it out until after the FA Cup ties?

    2FT burning a hole in my pocket, but I suppose it could all change by next week.

    1. Adams6
      • 10 Years

      Patience is a virtue.

    2. noquarternt

      Obviously wait.

    3. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      I'd rather have Ibra for Bournemouth. Will probably outscore Costa next 2

      1. Crow
        • 7 Years

        but he blanks 2 out of 3?

      Does it show on your history page?
      HoF only goes back to 06/07

        Unfortunately not, only goes back to 06/07 on gameweek history page which is frustrating.

          Hmmm, 08/09 for me. I had MGP in other games before that.

          Maybe Mark can ask someone at FPL towers if they have any info on years prior to that?

      2. The Wizard of Ozil
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Mine was 06/07. Finish 24k.

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

          Excellent first year rank. Mine was 1,944 that year but wish it saved what it was in 05-06 and 04-05 too.

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

        I dont think records go back to then for some reason, i think the website/game underwent a major overhaul or something- pretty sure no ones records go back further than 06/07 (mine doesn't, but i know i played it prior to that). Id certainly be interested to see anyone who's does.

          7 years, 2 months ago

          That's as far back as it goes. I had Ruud van Nistelrooy in my first season.

            03/04, I think

    4. Qubit
      • 14 Years

      Same year think.

    5. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Gamst Pedersen has one of the best left foots I've seen. He was the Siggy of the 00s.

      Further back than the FPL history goes 🙂

      2007/8.

      My greatest fantasy achievement was back 95/96 finishing Top 50 nationally in the 90 Minutes magazine "Nightmare League"

      For those not old enough, points were awarded for picking the worst players, conceding the most goals, failing to score etc and getting sent off etc - Abysmal players were expensive and Shearer/Cantona etc cost peanuts,

      My front line was Iain Dowie and Jason Lee. Legends.

      This is my first season.

      I'm a La Liga fan but my close friend is a huge Arsenal fan.

    10. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      I started the same year. Got a top 10k rank in my first season. I captained John Terry in GW1 who concealed against Hull. Drogba was the man that year.

      hi, I'm new 14/15 (first very serious season though)

      Same as Mith, 2009/10

    Sanchez for hazard for free - yes or no?

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

      Looks a very nice move.

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

      Wait a week, Sanchez has a blank now. After that, no brainer.

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

        I see what you did there.

      2. Lord Flashheart
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Ha?
        He has a blank so I should wait and not take him out?

  20. The Wizard of Ozil
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    2 GW punt fail on KDB. Yeesh.

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

      Plays too deep for Pep

  21. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Stanislas hasn't worked out so well...

  22. Kitman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    What is the best defender to have up to 5.6 mil. Have Coleman and want to upgrade holgate

    1. Lord Flashheart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Barnes
      McCauley

    2. I Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Brunt

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

    Assuming Burnley blank in 28, would their DGW occur in 34 or 37 ?

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

      Depends. 34 is also FA cup weekend

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

      37 more likely as they play United in 34.

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

        Cheers, considering selling Heaton for Jakupovic but don't want to miss out on a Heaton DGW, if it's 37 I'd bring him back on WC but if earlier I'll keep.

  24. @chapellefpl OR 577TH
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Is there any coming back from finishing say around 200k-500k? I mean thats a pretty dire overall finish. Would anyone quit the game if theu finished that low?

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

      Only a tosser

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

      If I finished that low I would consider my future in the game.

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

      Plenty of time yet for you to rise the ranks

      1. @chapellefpl OR 577TH
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Im near 1m. Devastating season. Will be tough to finish above 200k i think.

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

          I'm sure you will though. Aim for top 100k

    4. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Not beating myself up to much about it. It comes down to a lot of luck. Picking the right captain is pretty much 50%, benching the right players is 25% and the rest is tactics.

    5. 1966 was a great year for E…
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I went 587, 442,000, 2264 in successive years.

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

    I know it's early, but I'm just so happy with this GW26 team:

    Foster

    Coleman - Alonso - Baines - Evans

    Phillips - Alli - Mané - Antonio

    Costa - Lukaku

    (Heaton, de Roon, Pieters, Jesus)

    9 plays at hom
    ALL of them has easy fixtures!

    So question is Foster or Heaton
    And differential captain (Mané?)

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

      Almost the same. Siggy for Mane, Lanzini for Antonio and Kane for Costa.

  26. Fowler23
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Yes Stones 8 pointer. Had him since week 1.
    My defence brilliant this week except Alonso with McAuley on the bench

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

    Thoughts, alternative suggestions, very much appreciated.

    Heaton
    Alonso Coleman Holgate Smith
    Eriksen Alli Phillips de Roon
    Costa Lukaku

    [Pickford Pieters Sanchez* Ibrahimovic*]

    1FT 0.1ITB
    A. Sanchez, Holgate > Hazard, Brunt (-4)
    B. Pedro instead of Hazard for funds and greater flexibility
    C. do A, and shift Pieters > Funes Mori, Robertson or Maguire for (-8)
    (or wait a week for Mawson)

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

      I would sell Ibra before touching anything else

      Ibra has blanks (and he blanks anyway, terrible form)

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      A is what I plan

  28. Ógie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone know roughly what the LMS safety score is?
    I am after having a bad gw i will be doing well to stay in it

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

      Sanchez killed you before tonight.
      44 before the game tonight.

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

        Yep
        I had a good run in it all the same thanks TM

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

          Great rank regardless.
          Good luck chasing the bunch up the top.

    2. Hurricane Gilbert
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Was 44 yesterday, maybe around 47 would be my guess. TM should know soon 😉

  29. Kuyt Hero
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    A) play both Holebas (WHU) and Fletcher (BOU), save FT
    B) i)Holebas (WHU) or ii)Fletcher (BOU), and then Sanchez to Barkley/Snoddy/hopefully Mane if no blanks)

  30. Monkey Hanger
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    After autosubs and hits: 54.5 top 10k, 46.7 overall.

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

      Would this be a pretty average gameweek then?
