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.

      Kompany.

        Thanks, Kompanie it is

        How about alonso siggi to Kompanie Pedro for -4?

          I'd rather have Alonso than Kompany, so I'm not so keen on those transfers. Pedro is a good differential though.

      Jesus will explode next GW, I can feel it. Also Silva will play more minutes, maybe Aguero will get some time. Don't bother to get KDB

      1. ralfb
        • 9 Years

              Is it gamewise or through the season?

    2. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 7 Years

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

      2 here... Both in starting XI are against 2 on my bench 😳

  6. F4L

    7 years, 1 month ago

    Ibra and Kun out, and unsurprisingly both Manchester clubs look much more fluid and dangerous

    1. SamH123
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      City have actually done great without Aguero for a few years, maybe there's too much focus on Aguero when he does play

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

        He will be sold in summer.

    All players wearing their budgie smugglers, so they can get straight the bus to the beach on full time......

    Kind of worried about Bailly Gabriel and JWP for my BB next week, do you think they are all worth keeping?

    Ropes made of multiple strands of natural fibers such as, hemp, sisal, manila, and also cotton have been used for thousands of years for hoisting and hauling. By the 19th century, deeper mines as well as construction of larger and larger sailing ships increased demand for stronger ropes. In 1830 the Royal Navy defined a cable as three hawser laid (clockwise) ropes, each approximately 120 fathoms in length, laid anti-clockwise, tightly twisted and shackled to a resulting length of approximately 100 fathoms. The tight twists, shortened the overall length of the ropes but both strengthened the ropes and reduced the ability of the rope to absorb water making them ideal for mooring.

      I can't fathom why Harry Kane didn't haul last night...Spurs were pretty ropey...

    Vardy should have just had an assist for me. Who shot and hit the post?

  16. Sandy Ravage
    • 8 Years

    not owning Vardy worries me

    1. Bubz
      • 10 Years

      Why?

    2. Sims
      • 7 Years

      Don't get why anyone would be worried by not highly owned players

        7 years, 1 month ago

        He was talking about some invisible hand. Probably thought that the missed a hand ball...

    2. Billy Gilmore

  21. Camp No No

    That's more like it! More shots Maguire, some of those desperate efforts will surprise Pickford eventually!

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

      What position. Does he play

      First time owning him do know what he even looks like

  22. tokara

    any rumours of sanchez playing upfront soonnnnn?

    1. Jafooli
      • 12 Years

      Yes, most of them on here....

  23. TheTinman

    Albrighton not bagged yet?

  24. You've got red on you.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Now we've seen the City game, worth doing Sane and Benteke ----> Albrighton and Jesus for free?

    Gives me two DGWers instead of one and Jesus looks dangerous and well owned.

    1. Billy Gilmore
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Why would you sell Sane? He could've had a hatful

      1. You've got red on you.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Not sure I can afford to have both Sane and Jesus

    2. TOPCAT1960
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Hatfull of assists if he learns to pass

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

      Sane looked more dangerous

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

    If Moyes stays on and wins Sunderland promotion, can Sunderland then sack him on the grounds that he failed to meet their targets this season?

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

      Or can you sack someone with no grounds, so long as you pay off their contract?

    2. TOPCAT1960
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      As a HR Manager..... nope

      But then he has less than 2 yrs of service
