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.

    Within a minute get King goal (wipes out Pickford CS on bench) then save penalty save from Jakupovic. Only disappointment is not captaining King

    Brought in gabbiadini for a hit, played AOA as I didn't want Robertson playing against him, also benched Jakupovic, only for King a hatchet would've been taken to the living room furniture

      There are a few who still own Grant who's bee dropped, but I think they'll get over just having one 'keeper for now.

    Pickford and Yoshida my shining lights this week with 5 to go. Of course Pickfrod conceeds and Yoshida has penalty miss to deny an assist. All on the back of picking Gabbiadini as (c) over Jesus as felt Gab was more guaranteed minutes lol.
