Dugout Discussion – Saturday

Coming down off the “excitement” of a double Gameweek, the latest programme of fixtures get off to a rather inauspicious start. The batch of four afternoon kick-offs appear very light on Fantasy interest.

Nonetheless, many will doubtless be monitoring Bournemouth’s visit to the Stadium of Light, with Josh King the undoubted star asset on show. With three goals in his last four Gameweeks and with 11 in his last 13 starts overall, the 6.1 midfielder will be heavily backed for another return against Sunderland. King was brought in by more than 100,000 FPL managers ahead of today’s encounter.

Similary, Southampton’s performance against Hull City will also be of keen interest, with Fantasy managers preparing Saints investment ahead of their double Gameweek 36. Striker Manolo Gabbiadini topped our captain poll and has been acquired by 160,000+ FPL managers heading into today’s transfer deadline.

Elsewhere, Stoke City take on West Ham at the bet365.com, while West Brom host Leicester City, with little on show to pique the interest from a Fantasy perspective.

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

    King owners and captainers have been so unlucky so far.

    Hope the luck changes 🙁

    As a Coutinho (c) I don't feel too bad now to be honest

    1. Mark-O
      • 9 Years

      Ok

  7. Athletic Nasherbo

    Please Maguire and Pickford don't get clean sheets you're on my bench...

    Bottomed :

    1 : Gabriel, Yoshida and Holgate
    2 : Monreal, Holgate and Stephens

    Not sure about Gabriel having his place nailed, any ideas? Which one is better?

  9. Rainer

    Pugh close.

      Losing it, so much rotation now and the fol twitter account tells casuals what to do.

      Having said that, watched a friend use the auto-pick option. Got king and gabbi this week...

      1. Fred54
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        What 'loads of rotation'?

  12. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Big Boruc save. Borini shot, Defoe assist.

  13. Somalion
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Gabbiadini is the worst player and/or gynecologist ever to play the game.

    1. jmcclory123
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Nearly as bad as Paul Pogba

  14. DV8R
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Stephens or Yoshida for the double?

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

      Both are shite

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Yoshida definitely if you can afford the extra 0.3m

  15. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Pickford getting the DDG pass-back saves today...

  16. Mark-O

    1. FPL Maldini
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      A bit sad that he's getting relegated soon

    Post got lost:

    Good WC strategy to get price rises tonight then allocate for other players after?

    1. trinzoo
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      ofc.

    2. Numb
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Yes. Just be careful of the players you're selling if you might want to keep them.

      1. MGD
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah. Good point.

    3. HashAttack
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      unlikely to get double rises this week with a THU deadline

      The only ones, eg. Costa / Jesus should be one that you want to keep

  20. TheBusDriver
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Pickford 11+ points guaranteed. Why did I bench him?

    1. trinzoo
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I did becasue I have DDG, hmm... maybe Romero may start tomorrow ? 😀

    2. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 13 Years

      Stephens on max bonus if Southampton wins small with a CS

      1. The special 5

        No Bertrand is

      2. Pedram

      3. HazardAGuess
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        If Gabbi scored, for example, surely that's bump up his BAPS fairly high? No guarantee Stephens is on for max bonus, yet.
