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.

    1. Garlana

      1. Viper
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 28 days ago

        Baps yes

        • 14 Years
        7 years, 28 days ago

        Aw man.

        Going off your own rank/points I presume?

        1. Lizard Lips
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 28 days ago

          Mine has just gone from 1088 to inside 900!! No idea what is going on! Would be superb if we pulled this off mate! Rooting for us!

          1. Viper
            • 14 Years

      1. Viper
        • 14 Years

        So you're telling there's hope again? 😆

        1. Lizard Lips
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 28 days ago

          I think so. Literally no idea. Going off the scores here it seems impossible!

    Guys, playing a final in a Knockout ML. If my calculations are correct we both have the same number of points. What's the decider? Transfers? For the GW or general?

    1. jackx13
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 28 days ago

      Nevermind 2 baps for Haz means I lose 🙁

  8. That Was Easy!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 28 days ago

    Bonus updated. ML lost and won just then.

    1. That Was Easy!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 28 days ago

      Haz now on for 2, Sanchez on for 2.

  9. AA33
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 28 days ago

    According to the latest bonus points, Ben Crabtree is the FPL winner and beats Uwais Ahmed by TWO points!!!

    1. socal4mich
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 28 days ago

      -4 was the difference. Keeping Ali was the play.

      1. Hect.OR 98th
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 28 days ago

        Respect to Uwais for rolling the dice though.

      2. Capitano
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 28 days ago

        Begs to differ...Kings late injury was the play.

  10. FER FUSCH AKE
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 28 days ago

    are the baps final, has Sanchez's winning goal baps been added. is there a chance alli false out of the baps, what happens if there is a tie in ml. this is my first season?

    1. Ha.
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 28 days ago

      Take a deep breath

    2. Hect.OR 98th
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 28 days ago

      If there's a tie, the winner is the one who's made the fewest transfers.

    3. Sgt. Schultz
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 28 days ago

      Number of transfers considered

  11. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 28 days ago

    How convenient Alli and Eriksen are on joint 1 bap. Deliberate ploy by Mark to make sure he finishes top .1k?

    1. Hect.OR 98th
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 28 days ago

      Yawn

  12. Atwood
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 28 days ago

    There any site or app that can give full live scores, accounting for subs/bonus points etc? Found one but it requires payment.

      1. Hect.OR 98th
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 28 days ago

        Wow. Cool site. It even organises leagues and things.

  13. TheBusDriver
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 28 days ago

    Need to get rid of Koscielny.

  14. Lizard Lips
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 28 days ago

    Went Sane over Pedro and Cesc. Forgot Cab over Cech. According to FFix this has cost me top 1k, my FPL dream. Feel crushed. Hope others have had a smooth to cover the rough here 🙁 Well played winners.

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 28 days ago

      That site isnt working properly, so you can still finish in top 1k

  15. Atwood
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 28 days ago

    What were the latest bonus changes?

    1. That Was Easy!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 28 days ago

      Haz and Sanchez on for 2 each.

      1. Atwood
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 28 days ago

        Was Sanchez only on 1 before? Or 3?

        They the only changes?

        Thanks mate

      2. Sgt. Schultz

    LATEST

    Hazard - 2
    Pedro - 1
    Fabregas - 0

    1. Ha.
      • 8 Years

      Dreamy

    2. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 28 days ago

      What, no, why fab on 0? Ffs, he was on 2 a minute ago...

    3. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 28 days ago

      Meh... Give that 3BPs to Fabregas, nobody owns Batshuayi

  17. TorresMagic™

    Looks like baps final

  18. A Betting Man
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 28 days ago

    Watching these bonus points is horriffic.

    Fabregas vs Pedro.

    ML rival had Ayew off his virtual bench, Pedro off the real life bench, and a Davies goal to possibly hand him the most ridiculous victory ever seen.

  19. MikeDuff
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 28 days ago

    Lost my mini league by 5pts after current bonus.

    Ben Davies you broke my heart.

  20. Mark-O
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 28 days ago

    Hazard 9 pts --> Coutinho 10 pts with 1FT
    This 1FT earned me an extra point only 😆

    1. Ha.
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 28 days ago

      Alli > Coutinho as opposed to Haz cost me 2 points 🙁

      1. Stats Don\'t Lie
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 28 days ago

        Alli > cout rather than bert > matip cost me 6 :/

      2. Mark-O
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 28 days ago

        Gabbiadini --> Llorente should have been on the cards 🙁

    2. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years

  22. AYLD28
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 28 days ago

    110 (-4) if the current bonus stay as they are. Was 66k in rank before today, can I expect to hit too 50k?

    1. Make Arrows Green Again
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      You should mate

    2. Coaly

      Easily

  23. the snazzy viking
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 28 days ago

    According to Fantasy Football Fix, Lanzini has 6 yellow cards

    1. MartialMatas
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 28 days ago

      says 77 on mine

      1. the snazzy viking
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 28 days ago

        So it does! Was only looking at the top ones. Referees can't count these days

  24. AA33
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years

    Sanchez 2 bonus

  25. makaveli123
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 28 days ago

    If these baps are final I am losing out on £290 because I chose Vertonghen over Bavies.

    1. Coaly
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 28 days ago

      Rookie

      1. makaveli123

    2. BROOKLYN GOONER
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 28 days ago

      That's brutal. Had Davies, but would have picked Vert if had enough cash.

  26. That Was Easy!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 28 days ago

    Not sure why I went Siggy over Fabs / Pedro, thought Siggy might show some magic in his last game.

    1. Coaly
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 28 days ago

      Decent shout

      I thought he would too

    2. Lizard Lips
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 28 days ago

      Think this was a good move just didn't happen today.

  27. AYLD28
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 28 days ago

    King > Coutinho
    Bertrand > Kompany
    Gabbi > Vokes

    Don't think Iv ever had such smooth transfers ha

  28. TOrlob
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 28 days ago

    First full season - will make it into top 100k I think but spend throughout the season over 100 points on transfer cost. That has to change next year!

    Thanks everyone here and have a relaxed Summer!

  29. Lizard Lips
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 28 days ago

    FFFix has just slapped me from 1088 to inside 900, what is going on! I can't handle this! This is like the longest X Factor final pause ever! My projected points are the same so why the jump, don't do this to me!

    1. The Overthinker
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 28 days ago

      92k to 97k for me

    2. rivercityransom
      • 8 Years

      don't get your hopes up, seems to be wonky today

      1. Lizard Lips

        Thanks. Really nervous times.

        Congratulations on winning LAWR 5 was a very competitive league. Managed to finish top 4 myself. Would have been good enough for promotion. Shame it won't be around next season
