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.

    Imagine buying Negredo for DGW34 and captaining him and then selling him for Gabbi and captaining him this GW?

    Oh not me, I captained Benteke in 34 and have Kane this GW.

    59: Two changes for Saints, with Shane Long and Josh Sims coming on for Boufal and Gabbiadini. Home fans not happy with the latter coming off, and make their feelings known, with boos audible from all corners.

    Hopefully fan pressure increase Gabbis chance of game time... :/

        Don't feel too bothered because I got him for Carroll and I didn't feel there were many other options in that price bracket. Maybe Llorente but he's got fewer fixtures. It was worth the risk.

      No. I tend to want the players I own to score more than one point regardless of wether I captain them or not.

    'Southampton have got their flip flops on'
    Sunderland 0-0 Bournemouth

    Sunderland v Bournemouth - both teams have had chances, Jermain Defoe has had a few great chances but it's tough for David Moyes because it still looks like Sunderland are going to go. 
    Elsewhere, Southampton are in ninth place and have got their flip flops on, and they are playing like it.
