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.

    With Zaha set to drop in imminently, I need an exit plan. I have 2 FT in he bank but am willing to take a hit if it improves my team.

            It's only been 2 games, I'd wait until transfer window closes, or at least after the international games

            No - not enough info to do a decent wildcard.

            I'd wait until internationals.

          Apology time.

          I’m sorry for suggesting TAA as a short term option after he scored midweek. I hope you had a bench.

          Is it mental to hold on and accept the 0.1 extra I'll pay for Pogba later in the week? I'd quite like more info, injury news, Hoffenheim game etc

            Judging from the majority here, absolutely mental.
            Wait

            Could easily be an extra. 0.2..

            It makes sense to wait, sadly we are often forced into early transfers.

            With certain other players I’d wait for news, but Pogba is injury unprone so I’d go for it in this case.
