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.

    Eriksen could've had about 5 assists but can wasted all those opportunities 🙁

      Little early (or late) but Siggy to Wally a no brainer?

        7 years, 2 months ago

        Hardly a no brainer, but if Swans are aweful today then it's worth considering. Although Zaha and Townsend are options too

        Nice to hear. I can't watch him, but all I want to see is "OMG Zaha!".

        1. tm245

          He is ranging all over the final third.

      Watching Swansea vs Watford is making my eyes bleed

      1. Les Bleus

        Everton game is mildly entertaining ....counting down the minutes to Joey Barton getting booked

    • diesel001
      • 7 Years

      Sunderland score. First goal in 7 games. Would be against a poor West Ham defence. Khazri goal.

      1. Rasping Drive
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Straight from a corner

    • Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Khazri Corner goal..Do they get assists?

    • HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 14 Years

      Omg! Sunderland scored a goal! 😯

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

        Only way they were going to score was from some flukey goal.

    • Jafooli

      Who won the corner? Assis for them?

    • Les Bleus
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Did Pickford score?

        I like that name. I'm going to call the team "CheapBoro" from now on. 😉

    • ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

      I had a feeling Everton would struggle today, why did I cap Lukaku?!!

      1. Sim Simma
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Or not play Heaton

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

        This.
        And bench Heaton :s

      3. Magic Bean
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Because you didn't think Everton would struggle

    • dark91
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Khazri goal (i think he was the one who won the corner as well)

    • michudagawd
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Trust Randolph to concede to Sunderland. Utterly useless goalkeeper for FPL.

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

        You can't blame him. You knew he played for West Ham when you got him in your team.

    • JÆKS ⭐
      • 9 Years

      Thought Watford Swansea was supposed to be a game with lots of goals since they are both terrible at defending...

    • Chucky

      Any chance kaku gets an assist for Sun goal??

            Guys, both Son & Dembele are on 35 BAPS. Does this include the winning goal 3 BAPS for Dembele?

            1. tm245

              No, they haven't been updated.

                Don't think so, as they were tied when game ended.

              Pickford one save? What about the Snodgrass FK?

              If Lukaku does not have any participation in the first goal, then it's doomed for Lukaku captains since Burnley hardly concedes beyond 2 goals while away

              From a lukaku owner

                Heaton already on 3 BAPS
