Dugout Discussion

Dugout Discussion – Saturday

An emphatic victory for Manchester City provides modest returns from their key Fantasy assets, sending us into the afternoon kick-offs scratching around for early points. With just four matches on the agenda, we have slim pickings available.

Bournemouth’s Josh King’s looks the most likely – he faces up to a Stoke City defence who boast just a single clean sheet from their last seven, having scored 12 goals in his previous 14 Gameweeks. Over 89,000 Fantasy Premier League managers have drafted in King ahead of this one, boosting his ownership to 891,000+ (19.8%).

Elsewhere, Hull City face relegated Sunderland at the KCOM Stadium with Eldin Jakupovic and Harry Maguire the major assets on show, while Burnley host West Brom at Turf Moor, with Tom Heaton’s 19.5% ownership surely expecting a clean sheet return.

Finally, Leicester City entertain Watford at the King Power Stadium, with Jamie Vardy seeking to maintain form that has brought him returns in eight of his last nine Gameweeks.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      Did they even play the full 90? Certainly no injury time by the looks of it....

    Ville Ronka punting on the DGW players doesn't look like such a bad punt now

    1. barracuda
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      What is his OR?

    2. JÆKS ⭐

      1. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        3 Soton, 3 Arsenal

        1. barracuda
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

        2. JÆKS ⭐
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

      Has the same defence as me playing this week and I'm incredibly worried by it..

      1. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Very punty

  10. Jafooli

    Pray for Spencer. C'mon Anichebe!

    1. tm245
      • 12 Years

      I have no players going so he is the one I am rooting for the most.

    Sold King in my WC

    Stay quiet son, stay quiet

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

      Booooooo King

    2. JÆKS ⭐
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Weird decision I must say, he's great value at that price

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

        I did it too. For Albrighton and a better team

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

    Sunderlan plays better after confirmed relegation

  15. Deulofail
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    3 benched players playing now. Gotta cheer against others' players instead. Boooooo King. Booooooo Vardy.

    Even against my own players since others have played them. Booooo Pickford. Boooooooo Anichebe. Booooooo Albrighton.

    1. mcrayeps
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Just go to sleep

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

        I'm too excited by the prospect of points on the bench

        1. mcrayeps
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Dont boooooing japu then

  16. Lizard Lips

    Anyone got KDB?

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

      Only for most of the week. But not the deadline. That's the crucial difference

      1. StalkingDwarf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Same here but for Kompany. Hopefully switching to Monreal will pay off.

    2. Venom Snake
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Got him in on my WC this week

      1. tm245
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Good man.

        1. Venom Snake
          • 10 Years

          😉

    3. Fred54

      Didn't even come into my consideration.

        • 9 Years

        Stokes didn't do too bad either 😉

          I don't play but I usually watch all DD games. Would back samson Cummins to do well here

    wins for watford and sunderland would be greatful thanks

  19. Piggs Boson
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Sane and Sterling are so selfish they're practically poachers on the wing...

    Sterling attempted 1 cross in the whole 94 minutes... it failed.

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

      That's an improvement for Raheem.....

      1. Sims
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Can't believe he cost close to 50m

    2. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      94 minutes? The cheat.

  20. JÆKS ⭐
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Kompany really goes big if he gets in the points:

    0 - 14 - 9 - 0 - 11 in his last 5

  21. Bubz
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Is this the worst selection of 3pm kick offs all season?

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

      It's hideous.....all I'm hoping for is all CS's gone by completely anonymous players.

      What a way to go......

    2. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      It makes it worse that we hardly have anyone to cheer on.

      I chose Tadic over King. Have Pickford, Barnes and Maguire benched.

  22. Jafooli
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Vert baps added......very well played owners. Enjoy.

    1. Venom Snake

      Huh?

    2. Over Midwicket

      Reported.

  23. Sandy Ravage

    is this front 7 worth a -12?
    Hazard KDB Alli King Sanchez
    Jesus Kane

    1. StalkingDwarf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Depends on who you're shipping out.

      1. Sandy Ravage
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        DDG Valencia Son Coutinho

        1. StalkingDwarf
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          I'd be tempted, but -12 is a bit too much for me. The doubles might make up for it though.

          1. Sandy Ravage
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            I'm also hoping bench boosting with 13 DGW players makes up the difference.

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

      Depends who is going out

    3. ralfb
      • 9 Years

      Wouldn't get Kane now once spurs can be in holiday mood

    Transferring out sterling has gone well

    1. The Wizard of Ozil
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      As has benching Kompany.

    2. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years

      Did you bring in KDB?

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

    Why was there so little love for Kompany considering his fixtures and how threatening he has looked since coming back?

    1. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Fitness worry and loves a YC?

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

      Injury prone, never know if Pep might just randomly bench him for Stones or something

    3. JÆKS ⭐
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Caballero

    4. mcrayeps
      • 7 Years

      Because pep?

  27. FirminoIsBetterThanYou

    Any chance Clichy takes the last BP off Silva?

  28. Viprin
    • 8 Years

    All games to finish 1-1 please

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      You expect goals?

      That's optimistic.

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      As long as Daniels jaku Brunt and King score.

  29. Rolls-Royce
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Is it fair to say that City look better without Aguero in general?

    1. MrZ
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Yes but not in fpl perspective. No obvious scorer & assister

  30. TwiggsJameson

    Any one else have no one playing today?

    1. JÆKS ⭐

      I had Caballero Jesus and now King
