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.

      8. Darklord_bg
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        31 with BAPS as they stand, after hits.

        Mane and Coutinho to go.

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

        63 with Mane and Coutinho

        Lukaku, King and Mawson / Siggy singlehandedly saving my GW so far 🙁

        1. F4L
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          my heart bleeds for you Numb 😛

      10. WVA

        44-8

      11. InSaneMan-e
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        33 after hits
        Firmino * and Heaton to go. So probably 33 all out

      12. Caleb's Kitties
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        24(-8) for carroll and llorente sobz..no king no siggy..lukaku not captain..wonder how many places fr 10k im going to tumble..need mane to save my gw..

      13. Sz21
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        37-12 here.
        Mane + Cout left to play..
        Thought it was ok but very poor compared to most on here..

        Llorente, Funes Mori, Snodgrass, Brunt letting me down badly.
        Robertson in for Amat for a hit, Llorente in for Aguero = 3pts between them thi week.

        Feeling a bit s...t atm.
        Hoping Coutinho/Mane can save me some bit.

          • 7 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          27 with Mane(c), Coutinho, Heaton to go. Have to hope Liverpool go crazy.

      15. Klopp For The Kopps 😆
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        43 with Mane and Coutinho (C)
        Pretty low for a King Owner but still Very Glad!

    11. WE GO FOR IT
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Ibra, Phillips, Sterling -> Lukaku (12), Antonio (8), Coutinho (?) for -8 seems to have worked out brilliantly. Thank You FFS!

    12. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Strongly considering WCing next week. How does this team look?

      Jaku / Grant
      Walker / Valencia / Kone / Mawson / Robertson
      Sanchez / Alli / Siggy / Coutinho / King
      Kane / Lukaku / Gabbi

      1. WVA
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Looks nice
        Pickford over Grant
        Hazard over Sanchez for now
        Upgrade a defender to Coalman or Alonso

      2. Our Man Charlie
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        looks good but benching headache

      3. sunzip14
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Good! but I would have a better GK if enough money itb.

    13. Klopp's Kids
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      POTM looks like it'll be between Lukaku and King so far.

      Mane/Firmino have to show up tomorrow to be in contention too.

    14. Royal5
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Anyone know Lukaku/Mane captain %?

      1. Ha.
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        High/Low

        1. Royal5
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Got the impression a lot on here captained Mane

          1. Ha.
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            That may be, but still a drop in the ocean

    15. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      my team
      Jaku (Grant)
      Robertson Coleman Nyom Mawson
      Pedro Barkley Siggy Mane Sterling
      Kane Lukaku Llorente

      Want to do Barkley + Nyom >> Alli + ?

      Ideas welcome

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

      Exact money to do below and want to do it before price changes! No brainer right?

      Carrol and Lloriente > Kane and Costa

      leaves me with the following team:
      Pickford
      Coleman Valencia Alonso
      Mane Siggy King Eriksen
      Kane Costa Lukaku
