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.

  6. RoysCallerAnne
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Very nervous wait for me. I got 89 which is bang on top 1k average and I was 923rd this morning.
    Auto subs for King might dash my hopes. I benched Kompany 🙁

    Say a little prayer for me please

    1. Ginola14
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Benching komp was crazy

      1. RoysCallerAnne

        Cheers

      2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Agree! (I did it too)

      3. Lizard Lips
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah, over Yoshida especially. Bellerin/Vert I disagree with but can understand.

        1. RoysCallerAnne
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Well he hasn't linked his team so I can't see if he's done anything crazy all season long. He must be perfect.

          1. Lizard Lips
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            I did Cech over Cab today but was a mistake. I also had Kos over Kompany on wildcard so I done plenty of bad moves!

          2. Lizard Lips
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Hope you pull it off Roy dude. I think King autosubs going to kick us out unfortunately.

            1. RoysCallerAnne
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              7 years, 1 month ago

              I was talking about the Gino last guy but yes good luck to us both!

              1. Ginola14
                • 12 Years
                7 years, 1 month ago

                I took Alonso out right before he got that score and benched him against arsenal

    2. Lizard Lips
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Think auto subs kick you out. I have been done by 2 points I think which was accidentally going Cech over Cab. Kos red card didn't help either.

      1. RoysCallerAnne
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Ok cheers

    Stanislas off the bench wins the fpl title, wow

    1. the snazzy viking
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      The beauty of FPL. Every single yellow card, goal or assist, jammy auto-sub, bonus points, saves all matter. There will be hundreds of mini leagues where 2nd has lost from just from a yellow card

    2. Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah Stanislas who we all cursed some time back becomes the saviour , great game this

  8. TheOneAndOnly

    GW37 205points, GW38 105points. Somehow gonna end up inside the top 20k this years... nuts!!

    1. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Coming up the inside rail with an open sail!!

  9. LECHUCK
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    It's been fun gents, catch you all soon

  10. Moose™
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Any idea how much to be in top 10k?

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

      about 2300

      1. Moose™
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Ah, short by 20++. Should have captain Kane this two weeks. Went Alexis + punt on Matip. 🙁

    2. Mr. Funny Name
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Probably 10,000 I'd say

    3. tambourineman
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Around 2306 I'd guess (2219 top 10k previously + top 10k GW average of 87)

      1. Moose™
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Short by 28 points. How I wish I started GW1. 🙁

  11. Saïss Doesn't Mat…
    • 7 Years

    Hi guys... think redmond to stanislas a good move?? also need a king replacement. any help appreciated 😀

    1. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah I say do it. Many on here won't agree though.

    2. The Overthinker
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Stanislas is essential

  12. The Tinkerman
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Stanislas ultimately won the FPL title for the challenger, who'd have thought.

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

      Or was it King 😉

  13. The Overthinker
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Aoa chip - 103 points

    Always keep aoa for 38

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

      AoA played but I have King so it doesn't matter

      1. Gangster Panda
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Your 1st def sub will auto-sub for them instead.

    2. Ephurion
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      No AoA played - 104 points.

      Never AoA in 38!

  14. JJO
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    So it would tied in Fpl overall league if Davies didnt score that goal at the end

    1. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      How would it have been decided who won?

      1. JJO
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Less transfers made I think

      2. The Tinkerman
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Least transfers made wins

      3. Fowler23
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Transfers

  15. Ginola14
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    I scored loads of points is that good?

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

      Depends where you are

  16. Casp123
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    103 points gets me my best ever OR and total points but still just outside the top 30k which was my target.

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago
