Dugout Discussion – Stoke vs Arsenal

3,470 Comments
Share

The day’s events draw to a close at the bet365 stadium as Stoke City host Arsenal and, from a Fantasy perspective, the interest rests almost entirely with the Gunners.

Alexandre Lacazette will bid to follow up his debut strike to reward his 18.5% ownership, while the 372,000+ who have moved for Granit Xhaka this week will be hoping for instant dividends. The Swiss midfielder has been the most popular signing following his brace of assists in Gameweek 1, with 71,000+ arriving at him as a replacement for the injured Wilfried Zaha of Crystal Palace.

Aaron Ramsey has proved another popular solution for that particular problem, with 34,000+ making the direct swap to the Welshman from the Eagles winger. Like Lacazette, he will look to add to his Gameweek 1 goal as he returns to the scene of his horrific double leg break back in February 2010.

Interest in Mark Hughes’ men is largely limited to Joe Allen in midfield. A key budget target for a spell last season, he is owned by 4.1% heading into this encounter, as the Potters look to kick-start their campaign following last weekend’s tepid 1-0 defeat at Everton.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    A Danilo to Trippier and
    B Willian to Pogba
    C Ake to Jones

    Rage wildcarded. Made decision to go without man u players which in hindsight is a seriously bad decision but when youve managed to have 6 and then 5 of the scout picks both gws its sooooo annoying.

    Looking at this:

    Foster

    Davies Trippier Kompany

    Tadic Richarlison Phillips Pogba

    Lukaku Kane Jesus

    Elliott maguire Carroll mbemba

    Thoughts?

    Why has Wenger sold Gabriel? He is the most infuriating man...... He has now also put me in a predicament whereby I thought I was buying a 6m wingback for an attacking team and infact got a 6m CD. Does anybody who knows more than me know what the prospects of Kolasinac getting played on the wing again are?

    Salah > Pogba is not appealing as a guy with Lukaku & Mkhi already. (I also have DDG which is an extra barrier, but content with him.)

    Don't Liverpool 'turn up' against harder teams anyway? At least that's what this site's consensus was.

    He's had his rest & I doubt Klopp would want to bench him against Arsenal & Man City.
