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.

    Will King be at Bournemouth next season?

      Really? No Gabbi anymore? Who are you getting instead of him?

      1. mcrayeps
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 14 days ago

        Diego Costa

      2. mcrayeps
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 14 days ago

        Southampton didnt have a purpose to win a match, and my rival has costa, so i have to match him

    2. BlueIncognito
      • 9 Years

      I would like to keep Alli. Playing WC though and have to "downgrade" to Eriksen

    I like it when people say that they are ditching Gabbi, patiently waiting for him to punish em faithless guys

    Southampton attacking assets not that good. Thinking better off with Josh King and Arsenal.

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      Are Arsenal any good though, not so sure.

      1. Sarnab
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 14 days ago

        Thanks Will Kompany play both the matches??? bit concerned due to Pep's rotation policy..... & Anichebe will only give you 2 point nothing else.... looking for some more promising options...

    2. Deli Alli OxenFree!
      • 7 Years

      _____first thought
      Daniels + Rashford

      _______SGW Option
      Jagielka + Grey(BUR)
      __________In Budget*

    OMG Barnes

  23. The Polymath

    So what's the best way to play the Wildcard.

    Buy the players now and activate at the end of the week or Activate now and get in the players early.

    1. Stupendous
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      I would always activate now or wait til the last minute to activate. Don't chance it and forget to activate having spent 32 points during the week!!

    2. HazardAGuess
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      Doesn't make a difference. Might as well play it right now so you don't accidentally forget.

  24. TaiwanHC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 14 days ago

    Pick one for the rest of the season:

    A. Monreal + Capoue
    B. Prödl + King

    1. FER FUSCH AKE
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 14 days ago

      c. monreal+ king

  25. TaiwanHC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years

    Is everyone here expecting Jesus to start the rest of the season?

  26. TaiwanHC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 14 days ago

    Pick one:

    A. Prödl + Costa
    B. Monreal + Jesus

    Anybody else having trouble pulling the trigger on selling Lukaku on wildcard to catch other players rises that might be in your final draft?

    I know he has no double, but if you look at his trend this season, he explodes about every 4 gameweeks with a massive haul.. His last haul was 3 gameweeks ago. I expect him to punish us badly in GW36 and/or 37

  28. Tasty Jerk
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 14 days ago

    Not surprised with Sakho, Dann and Tomkin all out injured. Bare bones CB's now 🙁
