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.

    Saints best come out a different side second half.

    Southampton look crap. Gabbiadini had no chances so far 🙁

    As I JWP owner I think it's maybe good news that Southampton aren't looking great without him, maybe back in the team asap?

      Not convinced he's the catalyst. He's mostly there for set pieces. Glad I bought King and benched him

    WBA defense has to be one of my biggest disappointments this year. Had Foster all year. Must have cost me so many places Vs Heaton

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 29 days ago

      Defenders have produced attacking points to save them

      Foster doesn't benefit

  13. TheBusDriver
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 29 days ago

    Pickford racking up the saves and will probably get a CS. Will definitely regret benching him. I hate this game..

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 29 days ago

      I benched him....

      For Grant

      1. GE
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 29 days ago

        Grant will not play so you are lucky!

        1. Deulofail
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 29 days ago

          I dont think it's luck somehow...

          1. GE
            • 7 Years

            That's true, but in the way he expressed his situation he could have some luck 😉

    Hopefully Arnautovic is able to continue in the 2nd half.

    1. squits

      1. Niemi
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 29 days ago

        Went down at the end of 2nd half apparently. Didn't see it so I'm not sure if it's anything to worry about.

    What do you feel as a Gabbi captainer? I feel glad now i picked kane from Gabbi at last minute

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 29 days ago

      Annoyed I even bought him

      1. mcrayeps
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 29 days ago

        Keeping him for dgw 36?

    2. Numb
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 29 days ago

      Doubt many people will have captained him over Kane 😆

      1. mcrayeps
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 29 days ago

        He is villa ronka 's captain

        1. Numb
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 29 days ago

    1. Konig Luther
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 29 days ago

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 29 days ago

      Shot hit the bar/post and another shot cleared off the line. Threatening but meh at times on the ball.

    3. Pep says
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 29 days ago

      Pickford saving non owners asses

    4. HazardAGuess
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 29 days ago

      I hear he has hit both the crossbar & post. Should have had a hat-trick already??

      1. Ange Ball
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 29 days ago

    2. Numb

      There'll be a lot more goals second half my son. Can't see Sunderland keeping a clean.

      1. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 29 days ago

        This. Willy is the one who will hold.

    3. Niemi
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 29 days ago

      Sunderland are looking really bad. Can't see them keeping a CS.

    1. HazardAGuess
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 29 days ago

      Still plenty of time for disappointment.

  25. Hazardous1983
    • 13 Years

    Gabbi captain flopped. Y did i captain him and not.kane sighsds

    1. HazardAGuess
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 29 days ago

      Mate, there's 45 mins to go.

    2. jmcclory123

      there's another half.

      1. Hazardous1983
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 29 days ago

  26. Jet5605
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 29 days ago

    How is Gabbi playing? Is he getting chances?

    1. jmcclory123
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 29 days ago

      anonymous, no

  27. Black Panther
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 29 days ago

    Josh King soo unlucky not to score. Inside of the post, bar and a clearance off the line!

  28. FPL Maldini
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 29 days ago

    On a serious note, how likely will Jesus play instead of Aguero?

    1. jmcclory123
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 29 days ago

      Minutes likely to be rotated between the two with the fixtures becoming more congested

    2. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 29 days ago

      According to people here, 0%.

    3. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 29 days ago

      They will play together, Aguero up top, Jesus on the flank.

      1. Deulofail
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 29 days ago

        Fred is the authority on the matter

  29. Individual
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 29 days ago

    Vardy coming over Gabbi at this rate. Fancy him for WAT v Gabbi for liv ARS!

    1. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 29 days ago

      I dunno, as much flack as we have given Gabbi, surely at that price its worth it for DGW36 and change it up for 37?

    2. CAPTAIN BLACKLIST
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 29 days ago

      Agreed, gabbi could be very much fools gold - vards has now delivered in 8/9 games since Shakespeare took over - WAT city/TOT BOU looks fine to me!

  30. Somalion
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 29 days ago

    Before this match Gabbi had managed 5 attacking returns in 6 appearances.

    What an absolute f**king waste of skin. Useless.

    1. Godot - Fashanu Zealand
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 29 days ago

      Is he playing poorly? There's still time

    2. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 29 days ago

      How does 5 returns in 6 make him useless. Are you in Opposite Town?
