Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Gameweek 38

The 2016/17 season comes to a close this afternoon, with all 10 Gameweek 38 matches getting underway at 3pm.

We’re spoilt for choice in terms of armband options for the final round of fixtures, with the top three players in this week’s Captain Poll – Alexis Sanchez, Harry Kane and Philippe Coutinho – are serving up their highest hauls of the season in Gameweek 37.

Kane’s four-goal blitz at the King Power takes him two ahead of his nearest challenger Romelu Lukaku for the Golden Boot, while Sanchez welcomes Everton on the back of three successive double-figure tallies.

Throw in champions Chelsea at home to relegated Sunderland (Eden Hazard and Diego Costa both start) and Man City’s trip to a decimated Watford defence and it’s fair to say that goals look very much on Sunday’s agenda.

So sit back and enjoy the frantic next couple of hours’ action – it won’t be until August 12 before domestic action comes back our way again.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Every time I sell Alli he scores. Might have to start selling and buying back for a hit.

  12. Voodoo

    • 12 Years

    Costa still looks primed for 2-3 goals...

    1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 29 days ago

      And a red card 😉

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 29 days ago

      Well, I wish he'd hurry up and score them!

    3. sminkypinky
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Nah. Not up for this game Chelsea.

      1. George Sillett
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 29 days ago

        Are you actually watching it or just speculating ? My son is at The Bridge and says the complete opposite to you.

      2. George Sillett
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 28 days ago

        Lol . Utter speculative rubbish.

    Fernandinho out for Llalana 🙁

    Knew he would score...hoped it was going to be in dgw.

  14. Sir Burtenshaw
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 29 days ago

    I have Josh King and forgot to cancel my AOA chip. Will my defender come on as an automatic substitution?

    1. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years

      Yep

      1. Sir Burtenshaw

    Hazard, Lallana my only 2 disappointments up to now.

    Just hoping Arsenal, Southampton and Spurs can keep cleanies..

  16. Ógie

    Golden gloves on Lloris as it stands

    1. Ziro
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 29 days ago

      Wont they be on the same CSs?

    2. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 29 days ago

      Who the hell invented this golden glove nonsense?

      1. Gnu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 29 days ago

        Gordon Brown, probably.

        1. Hibbo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 29 days ago

          Your getting a bit shafted as a defender if a keeper is getting a golden pair of fingersave and you get frig all.

  17. The Big Fella

    If the scores stay as they are, not including bonus points, I will get 84 points this week 😮

    1. Tommyg
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 29 days ago

      Wow that's epic. Well done.

      1. The Big Fella
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 29 days ago

        Cheers. Very conditional though! If the scores change I could lose CS points! See team below.

    2. Eden Azzzar
      • 8 Years

      Link?

      1. The Big Fella
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 29 days ago

        Sorry. Check my post history - I am not up for linking my team and said so a few days ago in a big debate. I will tell you who I have though. Currently on 44 points.
        Cech
        Alonso, Yoshida, Vert
        KDB, Sanchez (c), King, Alli
        Kane, Jesus, Llorente

        Stephens will come in for King.

        So as I said, IF the scores stay the same, Sanchez will get me another 4 points, Cech, Vert, Yoshida and Stephens will get me 4 CS Alonso another 1. KDB due another 2 points, Sanchez another 4, Alli another 2 and each of my strikers another 1.

        1. The Big Fella
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 29 days ago

          Sorry, miscounted - it is 80 points

  18. Tommyg
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years

    Jesus (c). Right game wrong player.

    1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 29 days ago

      Still 4 goals to go in this game, Jesus could get some 😉

    2. Give The Todd Some Love
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 29 days ago

      Could still get a hattrick at this rate

    3. We Will Klopp you
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 29 days ago

      Only half time, could still easily get a goal

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 29 days ago

        Same, essential for me.

        Hopefully priced really high, so no else buys him.

      2. CloudSky
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 29 days ago

        12.5 would be my guess.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 29 days ago

        He'll replace Aguero as the premium forward...13m

  26. Puntillimon
    • 8 Years

  27. MTPockets
      7 years, 29 days ago

      So many Lanzini yelow cards on fffix.

    • Niemi
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 29 days ago

      I actually fear I might drop out of top10k, after being 3800 after GW36 and 1893 after GW21.

      Somehow I decided going Costa + Alli instead of Kane + Sane. And Koscielny over Monreal..

    • Urchin
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 29 days ago

      Any fellow Kun(c)ers around? 🙂
