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.

      Who to?

      1. The Overthinker
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I am guessing zaha.

      2. Deulofail
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Townsend Zaha. I'll probably keep though

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

          Not worth a hit I dont think

      3. FrankieTheGent
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Nobody actually has to be buying

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Palace mid calling. Home to Stoke could punish them.

  25. tm245
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    I sold Capoue for Zaha

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      You'd have played Capoue? Right...

      1. tm245
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I think so, over Redmond

  26. Puzzle
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Sold Capoue for a hit this week. Had him all these weeks! Yes he would have been benched.

  27. BrockLanders
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Yay. No points all round

  28. Morph - Unbelievable Geoff
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Capoue making a late case to be the GW37 bench boost attacker.

  29. DR0GBA
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    If Valencia and McAuley don't play then Capoue will sub in for PVA 🙂

    1. Mark-O
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Odds of McAuley not playing is 0

      1. DR0GBA
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        and chances of PVA making a late appearance is 100%

    ML leader played AOA chip with Capoue as fifth mid, great.
