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.

        Ty for reply,
        Could do this by losing Siggy with Baines but not Brunt...worth it?

      No

      Bold move losing Sanchez, but I like it.

  3. VFORVANDETA

    Kun 2 bps?

      Yeah fine, was ill at half time, but Klopp says he's feeling fine now

  5. Rainer

    A Sanchez goal and it would have been a near perfect GW 🙁

    Seems wrong selling Siggy when he has some nice fixtures coming up....

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 11 Years

      Spurs mids are too hot right now. Got to be ruthless

        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Don't want to waste a transfer selling someone who will get you points though. Not like he hasn't had chances in recent weeks, was top of Jonty's goals imminent table.

    TM on?

    1. John Nerdelbaum

      he's just popped out, back shortly

  11. Smoky Johnson
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Sanchez + Defoe > Zaha + Aguero(C) (-4) ?

    1. Caleb's Kitties
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Nahh hold on to sanchez..find other ways..

  12. FCRS1991
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    TC Aguero next week or save for DGW?

    Thinking is favorable DGWs might come late with meaningless games.

    Also have Sanchez in the team.
    Thoughts?

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Save

    2. Cheese Crunch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      (c), but save the TC

    Just shipped out Lukaku for Ibs. Lukaku gave me great returns and I'd like to thank him but with Everton's injuries I believe they've raced their race this season.

    1. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      They have some nice games coming up.

      1. Spg76
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I just feel they'll fizzle out as a club this season. Ibs immediately becomes the Capt. Two goals against Sunderland

    2. boc610
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Don't see that at all ,lukaku ran United ragged at times,he was unlucky and Leicester could field a weakened side

    3. Mooster©️
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Who is Ibs?

      1. Spg76
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Ibra. Sorry I've always called him Ibs

  17. Unbelievable Jeff!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Can anyone tell me what happens if you draw with your Scout cup opponent!? I thought I'd beat my opponent who is ranked in the top 1.7k (I'm ranked 170k+!) but he's got yoshida coming off bench with presumably 11 points making us equal!

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      That's unbelievable. Jeff

    2. Caleb's Kitties
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      OR i believe?

      1. Unbelievable Jeff!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I feared that'd be the case! Presumably yoshida will get 3 bps. Thought I'd go through with 75 points!

    3. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I think rank decided?

      he has to go, but my cash ML chasers have him - rather they make the move first !

      1. GS456
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        none of my mini league rivals do so thats why im inclined to keep.
