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.

      Austin saved Tadic's owners from not getting minus two points. His penalties are awful. Squandered one last season against Hull. Today he was extremely lucky that Hart did not save that one.

      De gea
      Kolasinac Stephens Ake
      De Bruyne Salah Ritchie Mooy
      Kane Lukaku(C) Rodriguez

      A) De Bruyne and Ritchie to Pogba and Eriksen for -4.
      B) Upgrade Rodriguez
      C) Other

      With both rising a) has to be done tonight. Unless I do Alli instead of Eriksen then just Pogba has to be done. Neither player I'm taking out has played yet though.

        A seems good as you move from one point scorer to two, although consider Mkhitaryan (won't rise tonight, and will likely outscore Pogba in the long run) over Pogba. Trouble is you lose De Bruyne who may deliver enough tomorrow to change your mind on this.
        Changing to Mkhitaryan and Alli is not very different to Pogba and Eriksen, and may be better (unless the immediate 0.2 increase is to much to let pass by).

        B seems to have possibilities if you go to Chicarito as West Ham have two good fixtures next, and they are due the midfielders back who can create the chances.

        In a similar situation myself I am letting B slide for another week and looking to do something similar to A

          Mkytarian is .1 too much for that move otherwise he would be my option.

          Could also do Ritchie > Pogba and Ake to a 4.5m.Ake has some bad fixtures now. Not sure of best 4.5m def though.

          Actually prefer this now because Eriksen hasnt played. risky and like you say I may want to keep De Bruyne.

      Looking to avoid the Zaha drop tonight, and looking for some general guidance.
      Current team includes Yoshida, Bailey, Hegazi, Pogba, Luka, Kane

      a) Zaha + Betrand > Eriksen + Zanka (for -4) to catch a price rise, but playing vs teams that score
      b) Zaha + Bertrand > Eriksen + Naughton (for -4) playing teams that don't seem to score
      c) Zaha > David Silva (leaves 0.5itb)
