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.

      Have to expect wholesale team changes in the summer so too hard to say. Ritchie should be a tempter.

    Mousset. Who does he play for?

    1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 7 Years

      Mousset Ozil

      Seaside town.

    Merson needs sacking. Has to ask Jeff what every players name is and reported that as aKing own goal. 🙄

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

      If they sack someone it should be Kamara. Total idiot.
      Or even Stelling for his pathetic outburst the other week.

    2. Syd.
      • 15 Years

      He is the village idiot

    3. GreenWindmill
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Merson needs sacking but that is a drop in the ocean of his idiocy.

    4. Somalion

      I do think it's pretty dreadful how many pundits across the channels have no idea what the players names are.

    Smarty Pants and Business Cat have some of my favourite gravs. I have a weakness for anthropomorphism.

      ...and a passion for the history of rope making it seems 😉

    Those who benched Yoshida/Stephens, it was probably for Vert or Daniels right? Good that I'm not the only one! 😀

      other way around for me .. playing Stephens instead of Kompany

      My lost points are in the bag, yours are only prospective losses

  21. Qubit

    Wish they'd stop putting all the dross games on at once, the more days they spread the fixtures over and start times, the more you end up with this sort of thing.

    1. Sterling is £11Mill..…
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I know the fixtures layout this season has been terrible many snooze fests. Games have been way to spread out

  22. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 8 Years

    now that bounemouth CS is gone just need goals from sunderland and watford

  23. Lizard Lips

    Ndidi, he is my player!!! On the bench though!

  24. tm245

    Hasn't the Saturday schedule always been this way?

    Big club early kickoff
    Scrappy teams in the afternoon matches
    Big match late?

    1. GreenWindmill
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Always? No. I yearn for the days of Saturday 3pm being standard for everyone 🙁

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

        I wish, it's morning where I am and my only consistent chance to actually watch.

          I don't have Sky so more or less never watch football on tv.

      Swansea v Everton is a big game?

        • 12 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Relegation wise.

    Chances of Sunderland scoring?

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

      Always a chance but Hull all over them
