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.

      These 30 minute games can be tough can't they?

      didn't hear you moaning when he was hauling against Bournemouth. If a player returned every game he would be priced at £17m+ and everyone would have him

    Baines will score a pen today.

      That'd be just chipper.

    Jags to score 2 goals today

      This.

    After the GW 34 double would you get rid of Lukaku or Ibra for Kane?

    On one hand Ibra might be a slight rotation risk. On the other hand, only 1 of Lukaku's last 13 goals has come away from home and his last 4 games include 2 away games and one at home to Chelsea. Also Lukaku has no DGW.

      Lukaku

          I've been planning to use WC on 36 like a lot of others here, but to be honest I can't see my team changing much if I WC this week instead. Think I'll just do it for Son/Kane, etc, and try to capitalise on next week's doubles.
          Still have a few freebies to move out Palace & Boro players.
