Dugout Discussion

Dugout Discussion – Saturday

With the Spurs stroll providing a healthy set of early returns, we now roll on with a collection of five afternoon kick-offs.

Harry Kane’s double figure return puts the onus on Romelu Lukaku to match or even better his Golden Boot rival.

The Everton striker will face a Burnley today, having scored in seven successive Goodison Park matches. He’s backed by 892,000+ (20.2%) with the captaincy – the top pick in Gameweek 33 – including 60 of the top 100 Fantasy Premier League managers.

Elsewhere, the Fantasy interest is somewhat limited, although Crystal Palace’s Selhurst Park meeting with Leicester City offers us another opportunity to scout their assets ahead of the Gameweek 34 double. Wilfried Zaha is perhaps the key target on show – he’s been brought in by 188,000 ahead of today’s clash, second only to Kane.

Gylfi Sigurdsson has another chance to halt his alarming decline when Swansea City travel to Watford. Surely a must-win clash for the Swans, Sigurdsson will be seeking his first return for four Gameweeks having lost 121,000+ owners this week, only Chelsea’s Diego Costa has suffered greater sales.

Finally, Stoke City take on Hull City at the bet365 stadium in a fixture which is unlikely to impact our tallies, while Sunderland host West Ham at the Stadium of Light, with Jermain Defoe seeking to re-ignite his goalscoring form and Andy Carroll back to lead the line for the Hammers.

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

      Don't think so - have not moved since the 90th minute of the game. Wonder if something is up with the BAPS system.

    Played McAuley over Fuchs in an AOA because I thought Fuchs would be rested.

    Fuchs already has an assist.

      Wouldn't worry. Going down a goal will force them to attack.

    Shame Henn lost the cs

    But so did Pick. Probably should have started Pick though for save points.

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years

      Should have started Grant myself.

      Same here. But I don't see Heaton keeping a CS much longer not that I would mind since I don't own kaku

    So Mark sold Son last week, only for him to score 19..this week he's sold Carroll who already has an assist and goals look likely..Please sell Sanchez next

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years

      Long way to go

    2. TheTinman

      Hahaha. Hope the Carroll one comes true. Two bad moves by Mark if you ask me.

    Need pts from Siggy Holebas Barkley and Carroll. Come on lads

    1. JÆKS ⭐
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Just Siggy will do!

  26. Emiliano Sala
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Who to play ?
    A) friend ( bou and SUN)
    B) holgate (whu)
    C) Davies (cry)
    Valencia and bellerin other defenders.
    Don't know whether is it safe to play friend
    Will he play both ?!
    Does boro have another good LB instead ?

  27. Just A Hat
    • 15 Years

    I think I've had Defoe for about 10 matches total this season and he has yet to score for me

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

      He is getting really annoying now.

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

      I've had Alonso about 10 games too and have yet to get a clean sheet from him

    3. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Considering Sunderland haven't scored since probably before last Christmas that's not really surprising.

      To be honest with you, they don't look like scoring the rest of this season either!

      1. Just A Hat
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        haha yep, silly transfer to bring him in 5-6 weeks ago

        He is finally out for Ibra this week though

    4. Jay_
