Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Saturday

A disrupted Gameweek 28 fixture list delivers just three matches for Saturday afternoon.

Much of our focus will be on the events at Goodison Park, with this week’s leader of the Captain Poll Romelu Lukaku in action against his former side West Bromwich Albion.

The Everton striker is the second most bought player this week, attracting over 363,000 new owners, having returned in each of his last four home outings. The Belgian will be seeking his 19th goal of the season which would represent his biggest ever Premier League season haul; it’s worth noting, however, that the Toffees have failed to score in their last three home encounters against the Baggies.

Swansea City’s Fernando Llorente was the major transfer bandwagon heading into Gameweeks 28 on the back of his brace in the 3-2 win over Burnley. His 375,000 new owners will be hoping he and Gylfi Sigurdsson can produce once again when the Swans travel to Hull City – the Icelander has produced returns in seven of his last eight Gameweeks.

Bournemouth will be looking to put an end to their run of eight matches without a win when they entertain West Ham United on the south coast.

Josh King, who has scored five goals in his last six appearances, could be the key man for the Cherries once again. Meanwhile, the Hammers will look to Andy Carroll and Michail Antonio to inflict the damage. Back from a one-match suspension, the latter will be hoping to end a run of eight matches without a goal – his longest dry spell of the season.

      Does Holgate + Llorente + Coleman/Walker/Alonso to Wasilewski + Kane + Mawson seem like good moves? If so, which one of the 3 defenders, C/W/A?

    7. Rossamous

      14 points with Mane (C) to play, can anyone beat that?

    29. Godot - Fashanu Zealand
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      That feeling when you outscore your ML rival who used their WC and fielded eleven players 🙂

      1. andymck
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        He deserved that for wildcarding this week, haha

        1. Godot - Fashanu Zealand
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Definitely, he'll regret it when a DGW comes around and I get a triple digit score 🙂

    30. TaiwanHC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      My biggest rival owns Mawson, King and Schneiderlein - 36 points for the three of them.

      Kill me now, please.

      Gutted about the Swansea goal. Lost two Hull clean sheets and went Olsson over Mawson.

    33. The Tinkerman
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      This week, in bad luck:
      - Baines CS fail
      - Brunt fail
      - Llorente in for -4, injured for 1 point fail
      - 12 points in hits returning 5 points total fail

    34. ☻ Jon Snow ☻
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Having 8 players today scored more points than 11 last gameweek, with 3 players on DGW and TC used.

      This game is a rollercoaster.
