Dugout Discussion

Dugout Discussion – Saturday

The Gameweek continues with a batch of three o’clock kick-offs, as our eyes are drawn to Goodison Park.

Everton take on Hull City on Merseyside with striker Romelu Lukaku again the top captaincy pick in the Gameweek. Now part of more than two million squads, the Belgian is backed by more than a million of those – 24.6% of FPL managers – with the captaincy ahead of the Tigers clash.

With over 257,000 new Gameweek 29 owners, Diego Costa drops in on the bet365 Stadium to take on Stoke City. He’ll look to provide the cutting edge for leaders Chelsea, but will need to cope without the support of Eden Hazard – the playmaker is missing from the Blues line-up having been sidelined by a “little problem” according to manager Antonio Conte. Owned by almost 1.3 million, Hazard was brought into more than 83,000 new squads prior to today’s deadline.

Elsewhere, Jermain Defoe will look to improve on a run that has seen him register returns in just one of his last six Gameweeks when Burnley pay visit to the Stadium of Light. The veteran striker was acquired by over 88,000 FPL managers ahead of the Clarets clash.

West Ham host the ever-improving Leicester City at the London Stadium, with Fantasy managers scouting the claims of Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez ahead of back-to-back home fixtures for the champions.

Meanwhile, Sam Allardyce’s Crystal Palace go in search of a third successive win and clean sheet when they face Watford at Selhurst Park.

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

      I got him for Kane this week as I couldn't really find anyone else but I think I'll be looking at getting rid straight after the internationals

    60 from 6 including 1 from Costa. Llorente, Siggy and King now, Mane and Sane tomorrow. Worried about having no Spurs (my team) though

      Boro change of manager scuppers that

  5. Albrightondknight
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    5-5 would do nicely for King Siggy and Llorente.

  6. 1justlookin

    seems like no obvious player/s to bring in for the next GW so I guess we'll just wait til after the Internationals.

    1. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Forget the og and get Deeney

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

      Hazard Vardy Mahrez all capable with doubles incoming

    Heaton or Pickford gonna pull ahead on baps?

    1. Webbinho
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Heaton benched has ruined an otherwise cracking week. Need De Gea to at least get 6pts tomorrow

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Hopefully Heaton

        Hopefully Pickford

  8. wulfrunian

    I think Siggy owes us a goal right?

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      No - owes us nothing - done very well

    2. Rainer

      • 11 Years

      He is so consistent in his returns...will be happy with another assist

    4. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Goal plus assist would be lovely

    I have a question, what happened to everyone planning Lukaku > Vardy moves? hmm they seem to have disappeared

    1. StalkingDwarf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

    The next few weeks will define whether or not you should fuss about DGW37 players on a GW29 WC

  11. mojoindojo

    Great start to the week!

    55 from 5 with Kun, Mane, King, Siggy, Eriksen, Mawson

    1. The Big Fella
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

  12. The Big Fella

    What is the average for this week as it stands? Does that include BPS?

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Meaningless at this point

      • 8 Years

  13. TwiggsJameson
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    68 from 6 players. By far my best gameweek of the season.

    1. The Big Fella
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      If Alli, Siggy and Llorente do something, it will be mine too. 81 from 8.

  14. Giovanni Giorgio
    • 10 Years

    Soo Kun ---> Vardy after this week no brainer right?

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Between him and Gabbi for me.

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Umm - maybe wait to see results this week ?

      1. Giovanni Giorgio
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Of course 🙂

      Thinking so. Gonna see how Kun gets on tomorrow ofc

    Kiss of death from commentator:

    "Goals almost guaranteed in this one. The two worst defences in the Premier League".

    Could have said that about Sunderland - Burnley and look how that turned out.

    1. Pep says
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Compare their attacking threat though

  16. greghammer95
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    46 with my most expensive players left to play. Didn't captain Lukaku so happy with that.

    De Gea, Cout, Mane, Kun & Son.

    Most on here will have at least 38 surely?

  17. Godot - Fashanu Zealand
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    My ML is really punty. An eight point hit after playing his WC last week and Son (C)

  18. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    If heaton's baps stick should be on 57 with siggy, llorente, mane, coutinho, alli still to play... Ever so slight chance of a century?

  19. greghammer95
    • 14 Years

    1-1 Bou Vs Swans would be great. Thanks.

  22. Boomerang V
    • 7 Years

    Will Walker play? I have Mawson stepping in with an own goal

  23. Sterling is £11Mill..…
    • 7 Years
