Dugout Discussion

Dugout Discussion – Southampton vs Man City

Saturday’s events end at St Mary’s with Manchester City the visitors to Southampton.

From a Fantasy perspective, it will be the Saints under scrutiny given that they offer us a pair of double Gameweeks to come.

Manolo Gabbiadini’s display will be the main focus with the Italian striker making his return from a groin problem after missing the last three Gameweek outings. Gabbiadini has scored four goals in his first three outings prior to the setback at Spurs in Gameweek 29.

The likes of Dusan Tadic and Nathan Redmond will also be assessed, while Maya Yoshida and Jack Stephens are also set to be key transfer targets in the coming weeks ahead of the first double-header in Gameweek 36.

For City, Sergio Aguero goes into this evening’s contest backed by 417,000 (9.4%) with the armband having scored in his last four Gameweek starts. John Stones misses out the visitors with Pep Guardiola confirming an injury pre-match.

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

    I am really considering this option:

    Siggy + Lukaku + Llorente - >
    King + Ibra + Benteke (-8) and play AOA to have:

    Grant
    Alonso Chambers
    Sanchez Alli Eriksen King Zaha
    Kane Ibra Benteke

    Pickford; Baines, Brunt, Amat

    Thoughts??

      That was blatant...would have been an Aguero goal

    Just started looking a my wildcard options for wk35/36 primarily trying to assess the best way to use the bb & tc chips and I have to say I'm a bit worried about the task at hand, anyone else in my boat.

    How do I bring in Ibra for the DGW with this team? I'm willing to take hits if necessary

    Jaku (Mannone)
    Walker - Bailly - Alonso (Robertson, Holgate)
    Alli - King - Sanchez - Zaha - Hazard
    Lukaku - Kane (Barnes)

    1FT, 0.5 ITB

    Still early but what would you prefer for GW34:

    A. Baines (whu)
    B. Pieters (swa)
    C. Lukaku->Zlatan (bur,mci) (-4) + Baines/Pieters
    D. T. Carroll->King (MID) (-4) AOA

    1. The Head-Ake
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      C

  8. Pep says
    • 8 Years

    He touched it

  9. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️

    100% Kun pen

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

      Yaya

    2. Lizard Lips
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Yaya takes them anyway I thought.

    3. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Yaya?

    4. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Kun will take.

  10. Duffy Dunk
    • 7 Years

    Yoshida's clean sheet is trembling

  11. KingoftheRunts

    looking to cut lanzini this week; would people recommend zaha/townsend (dgws, good form, horrible fixtures) or josh king (amazing fixtures but no double).

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

      Zaha or Townsend. CP has historically often scored against Pool, and Pool tends to concede goals against the lower table teams

  12. Here's Tom with the We…
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    A) Eriksen and Barnes to Townsend and Benteke -4
    B) Sanchez and Barnes to Townsend and Ibra -4
    C) Eriksen Barnes and Baines to De Roon Ibra and PVA -8

    Will play AOA chip

    Thinking about transfers for next week.

    Is it just me or do Palace's fixtures lack any of the usual DGW inspiration. Not sure they will get much from liv or TOT.

    1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 7 Years

      Max two goals for both games. I'm guessing both in Liverpool game.

    2. Pep says
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Liverpool do poorly against the weak teams. Palace beat Arsenal and Chelsea, no reason to they can't upset Spurs

    48(-4) with Alonso, Valencia (McAuley) , Coutinho & Ibra to play.

    Good, bad or indifferent? I genuinely have no idea.. I'm hoping its slightly above average?

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

      I'm indifferent, personally

    2. George James
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      You know it's good

      1. Viper
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Literally only seen one person mention there score on Twitter and it was 60 (-8) so I'm completely in the dark

    3. The Head-Ake
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I have 6 players left with 27 points. Mediocre-scoring week this

  17. The Head-Ake
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Keeper touched it

    1. Pep says
      • 8 Years

  18. TaiwanHC

    How many bonus points will Vardy get?

  19. ★Kuntheman★

    Watching City has been so boring this year. Genuinely considering cancelling our TV subscription.

    1. The Head-Ake
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I swear. Its like watching Man.Utd play lol

    Lukaku>Ibra for free, any takers ? Ibra with nice fixture gw 35 also

    1. Frank Koscielny
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Considering this myself. Leaning towards yes. Due to double fixtures and the fact that I want Ibra for the rest of the season. For better or worse it'll be a differential to not have Lukaku, so either way it'll be painful to watch the games lol

    Selling Maguire, Mawson, Siggy or Carroll next week for DGWers just seems so wrong with the fixtures. Burn imminent!
