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.

      why would you make this move this week before Swansea?

      1. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I don't think he will start and I was going to do it next week anyway

    Another DGW trap, Gabbi seems to be.

    Vardy
    Costa
    Kane

        • 11 Years

          • 11 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

    3. DantheManinaPan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Agreed, though Jesus could pip Vardy or Costa

      1. Stupendous
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        ..and this

    4. fedolefan
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      And JWP is midfield?

    5. Donhush
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      No love for Jesus

  7. DantheManinaPan

    7 years, 1 month ago

    Very nearly bought Gabbi - bought Jesus instead 🙂 Gabbi still an option for this with him though for the next two weeks...

  8. Cocky Spaniel Alves

    Getting Gabbiadini and JWP (4th mid) on my wildcard doesn't seem to be the most inspired choice at the momen!

    1. Cocky Spaniel Alves
      • 12 Years

      Moment

    Is that the sound of WC drafts being torn up?

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

      Yes

    2. Rainer

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

    Can't wait for everyone to rage-sell Gabbiadini, just in time to reward the DGW punters

  16. Magic Bean
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Cmon King!!

  17. tm245

    Disgusted as I am by the captain fail it was a good sub: Gabbi was absolutely anonymous.

  18. Pedram
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    lmao Gabbiadini hype train crashed so hard

    1. Johnnyboy UK

      Oxygen thief

  19. FER FUSCH AKE

    hahaaha haha haha ha

    did kaku to Gabbi for a hit, lock me up now, am a dumb a**, I shouldn't mingle with intellectuals

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

      Not your fault - this game is like that

  20. the snazzy viking
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    I might just avoid the mid-table teams

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

      And the teams who rotate players and those in relegation trouble.. Equals nothing left lol 😀

  21. Tasty Jerk

    Nyom subbed bang on 60mins

    1. French Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      he got the cs then ?

      1. French Gooner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        never mind forgot that was the only game with a goal

  22. Limited & Mediocre Mana…

    Oh crap, Gabbi 1 point and Sanchez on the bench lol

    1. Garlana

    HOLD JAKU HOLD!

  24. Sim Simma

    Should have played Pickford..changed him last minute to Heaton

  25. Pep says
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Southampton nothing to play for and Hull fighting so strongly for survival. Wait for the Stephens Yoshi fails in GW37 when Negredo scores a brace

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

      If Pep says so

  26. Lizard Lips
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Would have got Jesus but thought his minutes may be curtailed. The irony. Pathetic to take off your star striker before 60 minutes.

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

      Haha

  27. L'Aeroplanino

    Clean Sheets for everyone!

    352 with Anichebe way to go?

  29. the snazzy viking
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Whatever you do Mark Hughes... don't put Pieters on.... I have Maguire on my bench yet again

  30. Dr Dream
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Brought Costa in instead of Gabbi...call me mad but he seems like a better player in a better team.

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

      If the price was the same I'd of gone Costa... it's just that it isn't!

      1. Dr Dream
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Mind you he might have time to get sent off yet before seasons end. He's seems to be spicing things up a bit again.

    2. fedolefan
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Wakey that's nearly 5m in price difference. No one's calling you mad, they're calling you rich.

      Doh!!!
