Dugout Discussion

Dugout Discussion – Wednesday

After the first four fixtures of Gameweek 31 treated us to just seven goals last night, hopes are a little higher for the remaining six matches.

Many Fantasy managers will be keeping a keen eye on the Emirates as Alexis Sanchez looks to punish West Ham once again.

The Chilean is the third most-captained player this time around, having served up 23 points against the Hammers back in Gameweek 14.

Dele Alli – the most popular midfielder in FPL – and Spurs team-mate Christian Eriksen also have the opportunity to deliver a big profit as they travel to a Swansea City outfit that boasts the worst home defensive record in the top-flight.

Crystal Palace and Middlesbrough are also in action this evening, affording us an early scouting opportunity as both gear up for a double Gameweek 34.

Christian Benteke and Wilfried Zaha roll up to St Mary’s looking to build on their goal and assist apiece away to Chelsea, with Sam Allardyce’s men seeking a fifth straight victory.

‘Boro face a tough task away to Hull, though. The Tigers are a tough nut to crack at home under Marco Silva, with six wins and a draw in seven in front of their own supporters across all competitions. Notably, the Teessiders appear to have opted for a front two for tonight’s clash.

Chelsea and Man City square up at the Bridge in one of two 8pm encounters.

Diego Costa is the second most-captained player for the Gameweek – over 10% are backing the Spain international despite a run of two goals in seven. Meanwhile, for the visitors, Sergio Aguero has persuaded 8% to take an armband punt on the back of three strikes in four.

Liverpool seek to gain revenge on their 4-3 capitulation at the Vitality Stadium earlier in the season as Bournemouth make their way to Anfield. With Sadio Mane sidelined, Philippe Coutinho – the top transfer target for Gameweek 31 – and Roberto Firmino carry the main threat to a defence that’s been breached 31 times already on their travels.

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

  7. Fred54
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Shocker playing McAuley over Alonso and not taking a hit to remove Llorente for Origi or even Benteke.

    70 all out.

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

    Sanchez was my key differential. Of course, he's the big hitter to blank.

    1. Royal5
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Same

  10. YoungPretender
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    B.Davies or Vertonghen? Understand Davies only played 78 minutes today? Anyone know why?

    1. Bunk Moreland
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Tactical, subbed for a more offensive player.

    2. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Put attacker on in search of goal.

    Time to step off the Vardy train?

    Vardy > Kun 1FT?

    1. Oven Glover
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Vardy -> Tekkers to fund Alli for me

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

      vardy up a very weak everton defence and scoring every game?

  15. FFPro
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    I just cannot believe what happened..

    I had 11 blankers and no CS until the 75th min of first kick offs.... then BOOM 4 goals 2 assists with what is looking like 8-9 bonus in the next 15min from Yoshida / Eriksen / Alli / Origi.

    Unbelievable turnaround. Not over til it's over!

  16. Sims
    • 7 Years

    WC'ing this team 100%

    Foster - Grant
    Daniels - Holebas - Cedric - Williams - Brunt
    Sanchez - Alli - Siggy - Cout - DeRoon
    Costa - Lukaku - Deeney

  22. greghammer95

  23. goriuanx
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Horrendous defenders. At least City dropped points. Meh.

  24. general_franco
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Any chance of King getting a bonus point?

    1. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Yup he's tied on 2 with 2 more players right now.

    What are you guys doing with Sanchez ?

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

      Keeping.

  26. davies
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Siggy >

    A) Eriksen
    B) Sane
    C) Keep

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

      A... especially if you do not have Alli; Sane if you do

    2. Teahupo'o
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I might do B. Save the last Spurs spot for Kane.

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

    Siggy to Zaha to pay for A) Costa, B)Vardy or C) Kaku for Aguero????

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

      Costa has Bournemouth and Vardy has depleted Everton defense... so is it Kaku out time?

  28. TerryVenables
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    In need of some advice....
    Playing for a 5 figure top prize. I'm currently leading by 50 points with a wildcard and bench boost left. Rival has TC and BB left. Should I wildcard and copy his team player for player?

    1. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years

      Ok

  29. Chucky
    • 10 Years
