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.

      Negredo (C) to Gabbi (C) .....both in for a hit too ....I've really failed big time now

    At least it was for free and I didn't captain Gabbiadini. Time to move on and start creating my WC team, although with him being subbed off early changes the scenario a bit.

    Gabiadini what an absolute joke, knew I needed Kane but never had him in pathetic. there goes my season.

    Thank God I didn't captain Gabbi, certainly won't be going anywhere near him when WC is active.

    Should have punted on Jesus...

  18. Differentiator

    Gabbiadini no clean sheet point?

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Not even 2 points for playing 60 minutes.

    Rival captained Gabbi, sorry but I'm loudly LOL'ing.

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

      So I may need to ask this again, post Gabbi, sub.

      For those that have just WCed, did you have any contingency plan, keep anything ITB? Got anyone to consider for ditching to create emergency funds?

    Last night someone posted an argument against captaining Gabbi. That was enough to make me switch captaincy to Kane. Whoever you were, thank you!

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      You were my deciding vote to switch (c) from Gabbiadini > Benteke so thank you. 😉
