Dugout Discussion

Dugout Discussion – Tuesday

Gameweek 31 is upon us and underway courtesy of a quartet of Tuesday night matches under lights.

In Fantasy terms, the focus will be on Old Trafford where Zlatan Ibrahimovic returns to the equation and Manchester United’s starting line-up against Everton.

Having once been owned by over 2.4 million FPL managers, he’s now part of just over half that number and, intriguingly, goes head-to-head with the new top owned asset in Everton’s Romelu Lukaku tonight.

The Toffees frontman will be under renewed pressure to deliver following his tepid display in Saturday’s Merseyside derby. With Ibrahimovic now returned ahead of United’s two double Gameweeks, Lukaku needs to show willing and perhaps produce points to stave off increasing sales.

Elsewhere, Leicester City’s renaissance receives its latest test with basement dwellers Sunderland at the King Power Stadium. The Foxes have won four successive Premier Leauge matches and, while Jermain Defoe is fit to start for the visitors, Jamie Vardy and company will be backed for another win and further returns.

Meanwhile, Burnley host Stoke City at Turf Moor with Tom Heaton the key asset on show, while West Brom make the trip to Vicarage Road with Gareth McAuley the big draw – he boasts six goals from corner kicks, with the Hornets conceding ten from set-plays, only Bournemouth have conceded more.

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

    Morning lads. What should be the next priority here?

    Pickford jaku
    Walker Alonso Nyom Yoshi Davies
    Alli Siggy Sanchez Fraser Sterling
    Lukaku Carroll Costa
    0.3 itb. 2 fts.

      Wait a day, nothing obvious. Great spot with 2 FTs.

        Cheers TM. Even I am surprised that I've 2 fts.

      Fraser and Sterling. Probably Fraser for some cheapie and save other FT

        Cheers Holmes. Wanted to get rid of Nyom. Is Holgate a definite starter?

    Looking at Dafoe + Foster ➡ Benteke + Valdes for -4th is gw.

    Thougets?

    1. Pierce34
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Just do Defoe to Benteke surely, no need to rush for Valdes. You've got time until GW34 anyway.

        Great chance of a CS at the weekend with Burnley at home.

        1. Pierce34
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Sure, but that's 6 points, maybe 7 with a bonus point if you're lucky, I don't think it warrants a hit.

        2. Pierce34
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Alternatively just switch keepers and keep Defoe for now.

          1. pundit of punts

            Cheers.

    2. Holmes

      Foster to Valdes is fine. Defoe to Benteke is a punt, can go either way

      1. pundit of punts

        Cheers.

    Feel its time to get Kun
    Have to ship Lukaku or Costa
    Lukaku - Better fixtures - poor service - Form
    Costa - Extra game - great support

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

      Why Kun? Its time to get him out after Hull game.

      I would keep Luka and Costa.

      If you want to sell, then Costa

    Planning on King and Firmino to Zaha and Eriksen for GW32, but I'm currently only 0.1 in the clear for doing that. Meaning, if both Zaha and Eriksen rise tonight, I'm 0.1 short.

    So, should I just:

    A) Pull the trigger on King to Zaha now and cross my fingers Zaha doesn't get injured

    B) Take my chances that Zaha doesn't rise tonight

    Cheers!

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

        Thanks. That's the trick, though. I just know if I do it, somebody else on my side will end up getting injured tomorrow and then I'm staring at a -8. Tricky stuff! Tick-tock 🙂

    2. Gashead9
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Just do one of the transfers

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

    is it the time for :

    1) Bertrand + Vardy -> Davies + Ibra for -4?
    2) Siggy -> Sane for free?
    3) both for -8?

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

      None really... Would keep Bertrand and Sigurdsson. Drop Alonso if you have him

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

    Repost, bottomed

    Jaku
    Walkers - Bailly - Alonso
    Alli - Sigurdsson - Zaha - King - Mahrez
    Lukaku - Costa

    Mannone, Llorente, Robertson, Brunt
    1FT, 0 ITB

    Suggestions on how to bring in Ibra?

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

      Edit: *Sanchez in team instead of Siggy

    2. Pierce34
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      King or Llorente to bench fodder, Costa to Ibra?

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

        If Costa returns to form tomorrow, I think I'd rather keep him instead of Lukaku. Lukaku's completely ineffective displays is a concern, although he admittedly did have a chance for an assist earlier

    3. KING CITY
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Brunt > yoshida
      Costa > ibra

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

        Not enough money to do that

  7. Pique boo
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Lukaku to Ibrahimovic?

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

    May do Firmino + Vardy to Sane + Ibra with the 2FTs. Love Vardy but his time may be up. 🙁

    1. pundit of punts
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Zaha may well be the better choice with the DGWS coming up.

    3. Pierce34

      Thanks TM. Are you keeping Llorente for now?

      1. Pierce34

        Already answered my question, never mind!

        Will see what tonight brings. Might replace him for free if something is obvious or keep if West Ham are terrible.

        1. Pierce34
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          I have a feeling West Ham is going to run riot vs. that Arsenal defence. I just hope Alexis gets something.

            I just hope Carroll fails.

            1. Pierce34
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 2 months ago

              Me too. Not holding my breath though. I would've probably got Carroll for a hit if it wasn't for my no-hit policy once I hit the TV I wanted.

      Gabbi, nice.
      Sane 🙁
      Coutinho, nice.

      A good score from Coutinho this week will do the job, one more rise and I can run away with some profit 😮

      1 up 1 down.

      .1 lost on Lukaku, meh!

    6. Pierce34
      • 8 Years

      Sane up, Lukaku down for me.

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

      Thanks. Just did Origi and Sane in for King and Llorente with a minute to spare.
      .3 gain means nothing if it don't work out.

      1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
        • 7 Years

        Worry about funds this time of season is pointless.

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

          Wanted Sane and King fixtures are horrible.
          Origi enables the cash and strong front 8 now needed at this time of season.
          I do still think TV will matter when it comes to WC in 35 I am only at about 105

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

        Did not notice Kaku drop oh well. Back on home soil he will rise again

        1. Pierce34
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          I'm not worried about Lukaku. Sometimes he goes on a 2-3 game barren streak, people sell, he then scores and they call him a troll. Bound to happen again.

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

            Agreed. I decided to hold through these two fixtures that we knew would be bad.
            As long as he delivers in next 2 or 3 it's all good.

            101.8. Will have to sacrifice just one big hitter for the WC and BB, but the conservative approach has worked for me this year.

          7. Jay_
              7 years, 2 months ago

              107.0 Truth is, its overrated. You're never satisfied. Never enough.

                I think it can help, Jay, but probably not as much as people think. I've said all along that if being safe and conservative and not transferring in players who end up getting hurt before they even play means I have Pedro at the end of the season, and others with higher TV/SV have Hazard...it's not really all that valuable. (You can substitute other examples - Vardy instead of Ibra; Sakho instead of Alonso; Zaha instead of Antonio; etc. - but you get the point.)

              Doing well at 107.2 and a TV of 109.8...but it doesn't matter. Never has.

              All it does is make you buy Coutinho instead of Josh King for GW28 and such like. That worked out well...

                We focus too much on attackers for the argument against. The biggest difference comes in defence. Low TV guys usually sacrifice defenders to get in the big attackers and take a fair few hits too. Not sure many just get a cheaper attacker and sit tight.

                That feels like it is super high for this season Wakey, particularly for someone who doesn't seem bothered about it! You must have had a good year on the bandwagons!

            would you swap vardy at everton or costa at bournemouth for aguero?

                Would swap Costa and captain Aguero if I had a wildcard

                  thanks for the vote..leaning that way as well..just a lil thrown off by champions leage coming up for leicester though

                Just got rid of Kun... eats up too much cash; get Sane for the Hull home game IMO

                  7 years, 2 months ago

                  definitely worth considering this, good eye, thanks

              Darn, can't swap Costa and Mahrez for Ibra and Sane now... 🙁

                7 years, 2 months ago

                Blessing in disguise... 😉

                Just do Mahrez to Sane and relax

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

                  Difficult to just do that and relax when a couple of my ML rivals have Ibra XD
                  While it's perfectly possible for Pickford to have a worldie against ManU, Ibra could have a performance similar to the reverse fixture against Moyes Rejects FC (My nickname for Sunderland nowadays due to all the former Everton and ManU Moyes players XD)

              Thought on this already used free transfer on Ibra in.

              Jaku Grant

              Davies Valencia Alonso Brunt Friend

              Sanchez Alli (c) Coutinho Son Carrick

              Lukaku Ibra Vardy

              Anything worth a hit

              Any transfers worth doing here? Currently looking at saving the FT...

              Grant
              Valencia, Stones, Bavies, Brunt
              Sanchez, Eriksen, Firmino, Son
              Lukaku, Ibra

              75 points between me and my ML leader. I won this league comfortably last year, but these new additions are playing a great game. Still have WC, BB and AOA (yeah I know).

              Think there's any chance I catch him? He's used all his chips but his TC...

              1. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
                • 7 Years
                7 years, 2 months ago

                Asked the same question yesterday... if he has used his WC... you got a chance ... say 33%

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

                  Gonna have to time it.

                There's a chance if his TC fails. Very difficult if your TCs have matching results.

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

                  Yup. I just realized he hadn't used it yet (thought he did). I used mine on Kun for the DGW. So I know he's waiting for the next one...

                  Think I'll have to try to predict when he'll use it, and cap that player so at least I get 2/3rds. Gonna have to make it up with the rest of my squad.

                Have to work hard and reduce the gap asap...

                  7 years, 2 months ago

                  He has Hazard (C) tomorrow and I have Sanchez (C). Hoping Alexis comes through with a haul or two before he can get him in. That'll help

              Which group wins and by how much?

              a) Alonso, Eriksen, Son, Carroll
              b) Mawson, Coutinho, Zaha, Alli

                • 7 Years

                B)

                • 8 Years
                7 years, 2 months ago

                B wins if that's Tom Carroll.

                    A then 🙂

                    (but then again, it depends on when Kane is back and how much Son's time is going to be reduced)

                          Ah, sticking with A then, I just don't trust that Arsenal defence vs. Andy Carroll! Not sure by how much though

                  But A) edges it on paper for me

                  A) 2 + 10 + 8 + 7 = 27
                  B) 1 + 13 + 2 + 9 = 25

                    What score between Swansea and Spurs?

                      1-2

                      Alli - 1 goal + 2BP
                      Son - 1 goal + 1BP
                      Eriksen - 2 assists, 1YC + 3BP

                        Think Spurs will score more tbh.

                  yeah i was planning in2 weeks lukaku to gabbi and then could upgarde a df

                7 years, 2 months ago

                It's too heavy for sure.
                Think about Sane instead of Kun for City.
                You could have Kane for Kun.
                You need Lukaku for now.
                But in next week or two I would downgrade and upgrade Carrick.

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

                  * Top heavy

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

                    i could also change zaha and lukaku after gw34 to 4.5 mid and kane

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

                      Sure could but I would not fancy Carrick and a 4.5 mid as my 4th and 5th mid.
                      Depends if you have used BB or not already I suppose.

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

                        bb not yet deployed

                          7 years, 2 months ago

                          Ok The front 3 looks great but is expensive.
                          The 15 for BB don't have to be that expensive just nailed on, but better than Carrick and a 4.5 imo.

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

                            fully agree..
                            my thinking was that i have 5/6 free transfers until gw 37. Lukaku will go in 2 gws time which will free up the cash to sort out 4th mid and def.

                            I kinda like carrick for 4.2

                            the main idea is i had sanchez, hazard, ibra, aguero all in place before their prices start rising slowly, the zahas and chambers of the world give me some gw 34 doublers.

                            Thanks for the feedback tho much appreciated and keep it coming

                  Nothing in the bank. Tempted by thther switch to Benteke but not keen on the attacking double up...and Sunderland have to score again one day! I would switch him for Kane if he ever returns.

                    Maybe deeney?he has looked good or gabby when fit?

                      7 years, 2 months ago

                      If he was fit that would be the trade. Deeney doesn't really appeal. He may gain a stay of execution.

                Coleman or one of WBA def to MID def.
                Other than that, everything looks fine. Keep defoe for now

                  I think that is a plan for the following week where I can take advantage of using the cash saved to upgrade elsewhere.

                I would be tempted to save ft.

                Cheers,Ibra could punish though? and also I dont have any captain choice players except alli?

                  7 years, 2 months ago

                  Alli is good enough. Even Carroll can do well

                  1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
                    • 7 Years
                    7 years, 2 months ago

                    Yeah I wanted to get Ibra but Luka fixtures look good and i can't even think of getting rid of Vardy ATM

                  • 8 Years
                  7 years, 2 months ago

                  Surely Kaku is an armband option too.

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

                  But is it worth losing Vardy for him for a hit? Not sure. You can wait a week and bring him in for free. If you want him now downgrading Jones or King to fund makes most sense to me.

                  Siggy to Zaha or Coutinho to Sane also works.

                  1. Nabs Kebabs
                    • 12 Years
                    7 years, 2 months ago

                    Why would anyone go Coutinho to Sane??

              3. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
                • 7 Years
                7 years, 2 months ago

                Yeah but Leicester defending well and Luka has 2 blanks(even though in tough matches)the guy 2nd in my ml will probably captain Lukaku

                1. Chilavert

                I guess I will save unless an injury happens,is jones safe from dropping in price?

                Im rather thinking of doing lukaku to ibra for gw 34,ibra has chelsea in 33 anyway

                Hey Nabs hope your are talking about 34 and not 37 or your BB gone already? 🙂

                  Wow you got a decent GW rank after playing in GW1.
                  That's a different strategy.

                    im hoping not to have 5x 2 pointers by using it on a dgw!

                    Cheers, it sure was and most people on here were critical of it..

                    Rotation is already here..just watch what happens in the DGWs.

                      Sure, but the thing is, there are still going to be a lot of players that play twice. I agree there's a lot of rotation, but fielding 15 DGW players is still the right call for a bench boost, even if in reality not all of them end up playing twice.

              Hi guys,

              Any early thoughts on what to do next week with this team:

              Heaton
              Alonso Valencia Brunt
              Sanchez Coutinho Zaha King
              Ibra Costa Lukaku

              Pickford Pieters Fletcher Leninhan
              1 FT 0.2 ITB

              1. Brunt to Davies?
              2. Save and for GW33 Pieters -> Holgate (BUR) and Cout -> Alli/Eriksen (BOU)
              3. Others?

              1. TorresMagic™

                • 15 Years
                7 years, 2 months ago

                I'd want a Spurs mid next GW. King may have run his race now.

                1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
                  • 7 Years
                  7 years, 2 months ago

                  Yeah true but king's last 4-5 fixtures are really good

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

                    3 of those GWs will be DGWs. No Spurs mid is playing russian roulette.

                  • 8 Years
                  7 years, 2 months ago

                  Yeah both good points. I am quite worried without Spurs at home vs WAT but would have to take a -4:
                  - reluctant to swap Costa and King out to Alli/Erik and 6+m fwd given lack of cheapie fwd options
                  - I can also go 352 but Costa is playing Bou next week

                  Let me think about it carefully again, thanks TM!

                • 7 Years
                7 years, 2 months ago

                Maybe sacrifice Costa to someone cheap so u can upgrade King to Alli

                  • 8 Years
                  7 years, 2 months ago

                  Yup! Considered that unfortunately can't think of a good cheapie forward that could outplay King w a -4 handicap

            15. Chilavert
              • 7 Years

              Is it a good time to get rid of WBA assets after Soton match? Blank in gw34.
              Have both Foster and McAuley but planning to do

              1. Foster > Valdes after Soton
              2. McAuley > Gibson/Chambers/Holgate before or after Liverpool

              Other GK and DF are Pickford, Alonso, Vertonghen, Robertson, Pieters.

              Thanks

                I have the double up in defence along with Coleman. I am aware that I also need exit plans. Both of the trades look solid.

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

                  i have replied to your post earlier. Need to sort out ur WBA and EVE double up soon. Your front 8 is good enough. Anyway thanks.

                Look like good moves to me, with Chambers if back.

                  • 7 Years
                  7 years, 2 months ago

                  Yup hopefully Chambers will be back soon. Otherwise I have to spend extra .6 to get Gibson. Thanks

              Coutinho vs Eriksen for the remainder

                • 10 Years
                7 years, 2 months ago

                Couthino fixtures are great but the dgw would swing it in favour of Eriksen for me.
                Depends if you will have Alli and or Eriksen too I suppose.
