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.

    85 points with no Kane and 500 monies to pocket. Good fpl sunday

  4. Ninja Škrtel

    If Uwais Ahmed would've kept Dele he was the FPL winner.

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years

      If I was good at this game, even I would have won FPL 😛

    2. Phil Dagger ⭐
      • 7 Years

      then probably Alli would have Blanked

    Left it too late. Was 47 points behind mini-league leader this morning, gained back 35 today. If I had captained Kane instead of Sanchez the last 2 gameweeks I would have been ahead. Gap was over 100 points 3 gameweeks ago.

  6. Klopp's Kids

    93 pts good? Been having a shocker lately. 3K>6K 🙁

    606 is a joke, you've got two random blokes, a Chelsea fan and Savage all shouting at once about John Terry.

    1. Bartowski

      Isn't that 606 every week?!

    1. KUNingas

    2. Like an Egyptian Magician
      • 8 Years

      Very possibly 25k

    89 points, is that a slight red arrow ? Still can't believe I TC Sturridge over Kane in the last moment 🙁

    1. Like an Egyptian Magician
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 27 days ago

      Depends on ur rank. It's easier in hindsight but u prolly did it cuz u were chasing + Spurs & Kane had nothing to really play for (except Eriksen beating KDB for the highest assister-- they were 18 to 19 going into gw38) + Liverpool playing for the final CL spot..

      1. Railwayman
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 27 days ago

        Yeah, was chasing a mate for -21, almost had him, even without Kane as my C.

    FantasyFootballFix is a good place to project rank.

    3.5K for me.

    I'll take it. Improving steadily every year.

      Time to start planning for next season you mean?! There's only 12 weeks till the big kick-off! No time to lose!!

  17. MR SUNSHINE
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 27 days ago

    Can't imagine what being at the top of FPL does to your head but fair play to Uwais Ahmed for going for it. Not sure I'd done the same tho!

    1. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Beaten by a Stanislas auto sub is fairly harsh tbf

  18. Pep says
    • 8 Years

    Costa to Kane and Hazard to Coutinho for -4?

    1. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Smooth

        @Ogie, how'd it go?

    2. The Man Pastore

      too sideways

  19. Sandy Ravage

    1. KUNingas

      Nice, I got 2199 🙂

  20. tambourineman

    Unused chips in top 10k
    84 didn't use their bench boost
    34 didn't use their triple captain
    286 didn't use their second wildcard
    2,139 didn't use their all out attack

    1. Ha.
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 27 days ago

      And some of them finished above me. Depressing.

    2. BROOKLYN GOONER

      • 12 Years

      I'm one of those who didn't use AOA. Saved 'til gw38, but couldn't ditch Anichebe, and they now force you to select all eight attackers when exercised. Made no difference.

    Stanislas won FPL. Essential next season?

  25. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 27 days ago

    How are we going to fit Kane, Alli, Jesus, Coutinho in next year? Kane will likely be 12.5, Alli 10.0, Jesus 10.5, Coutinho probably 10.0. 🙁

    Not to mention Lukaku will probably be 10.5/11.0, Josh King up to 7.5 at least.

    1. We Will Klopp you
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 27 days ago

      Don't forget Mane

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 27 days ago

        Yeah Mane will likely be a price hike too... Plus whatever big name utd sign to replace zlatan

    2. Ha.
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 27 days ago

      As always, there will be a new Mahrez/Alli/King

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 27 days ago

        I womder will promoted teams offer anything. Newcastle rafa benitez defences usually good value

    3. Hakchak
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    4. Ephurion
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 27 days ago

      We'll drop Alli and get Eriksen instead if he's cheaper 😀

    5. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 27 days ago

      They can't increase the prices ad nauseum or it wouldn't be possible to make decent teams. It'll be a challenge next year for sure though, I'm interested in the transfer market now.

    You know I lost my ML by 1 point. 1 f***ing point..

      FFS membership is worth 2 points.

      1. Legendary!
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 27 days ago

        True this. Not logging onto FFS today cost me. I didn't know King was out - if i had i would have got Stanislas

    2. Legendary!
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 27 days ago

      Me too! It sucks!

      Especially since i had a far better team than he did but he played his TC in Kane which wiped all my gains out. Ended up getting 105 points to his 106

  27. Lizard Lips
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 27 days ago

    Can't handle this wait. How you feeling VIPER? Think we've missed out by the skin of our teeth. If Cech over Cab errors gets me out of top 1k I will be sick as a dog. I can handle Kos mucking up and Sane not doing Cesc/Pedro numbers but if a silly error costs me it will be the ultimate rough.
