Dugout Discussion – Saturday

After Raheem Sterling’s late, late winner earned Man City the points at Bournemouth, Saturday afternoon treats us to a quartet of 3pm encounters.

All eyes turn to St James’ Park as Javier Hernandez’s 511,000+ new owners look for the Mexican to maintain his scoring form.

The most transferred in player for Gameweek 3, the Hammers’ summer signing netted twice in last week’s loss at Southampton and is now braced for a very favourable run of fixtures, with clashes against Huddersfield, West Brom and Swansea between now and Gameweek 7.

A home encounter with Brighton also affords Watford’s man of the moment Richarlison the chance to get among the points again.

The young Brazilian has bagged a goal and assist already and was drafted in by 183,000 FPL managers after serving up 11 points away to Bournemouth last weekend.

Crystal Palace and Swansea go head-to-head at Selhurst Park as both go in search of their first goal of the season.

The Eagles’ Christian Benteke is the man most likely to do the damage – he’s been captained by 59,000 FPL managers against a side that ranked bottom for shots conceded inside the box across the first two Gameweeks.

Huddersfield budget pair Aaron Mooy and Steve Mounie will look to justify their early-season bandwagons as Southampton visit the John Smith’s Stadium.

Over 286,000 have drafted in the former on the back of his goal and assist over the first two Gameweeks.

David Wagner’s men may struggle to rack up a third straight shutout, though – Southampton were placed inside the top three for both shots and efforts inside the box in the opening two rounds of matches.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Sold Gabbiadini after week 1, he scores in week 2. Sold Daniels after week 2, he scores in week 3. I'll be sure to let you all know who I transfer out next week so you can captain him

      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Tbf... he delivered many beautiful crosses... should have had an assist... he is due a bonus point even without scoring

  21. AlCapwnUK
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Any Austin owners left?
    He's obviously got to go out of my team, but that goal last week made it less of a priority. Hoping for the same this week

  22. Forza Papac

    Danilo credited with Sterling goal

    Lol at sterling owners.

    1. Jairzinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Sorry. Credited with the ASSIST. Still stands for sterling.

  24. Obi-1 Kenobi-0
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    David Silva is the City player to have.

    Him and KdB by far the most nailed. 2m cheaper and far more attacking. Not going to score you double figures often and doesn't have much goal threat, but for 8m he's easily going to break the 200pts mark for the season. Will chip away with 5 or 6 points most weeks.

    1. gunnerboy
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Got him in for KDB this week. Pretty pleased.

    2. Kammy
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Can you not see Bernardo Silva replacing him?

    3. Puyol Pants Up
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      'Easily'

      1. Kolarov Fpl Legend
        • 9 Years

        This

    4. fedolefan
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      200 is too much I think. He'll get you 160-170 I think.

    5. Cok3y5murf
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      There is no City player to have.

  25. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Are you keeping Jesus for Liverpool game?
    Dont have Kane yet and have 2ft (to make the answer obvious...)

  26. Meme2011
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    BEST OPTION FOR KDB?

    ALI?
    MANE?

    1. Bushido
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Ali

  27. Pariße
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Anyone care to explain why is Arsenal selling Mustafi?

    1. Bushido
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Because he was not worth £35 million. He's poor. We could sell him and use him to find a move for van djik.

      1. Pariße
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        We have not lost the first 20 games he started, he was pretty solid to me until Wenger's contract insecurity messed up the whole dressing room morale and winning games nearly lost it's purpose in the mind of most Arsenal players. He also has room for imporvement at 24 or 25 and it makes absolutely no sense to sell, even less to loan at the moment. Hopefully we'll find out soon.

    2. AlCapwnUK
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      hopefully not a cunning plan to continue with our all left back defence

    3. El-Kloppico
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      no money for Wenger's salary

    4. gunnerboy
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Because he's shite

    5. Speédy
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Arsenal fan,can't explain that.

  28. Lord Flashheart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    best fraser replacement?

    1 atsu
    2 brady
    3 fer

    someone else? might squeeze funds up to 7.0

    1. Kammy
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Mooy?

      1. Lord Flashheart
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

  29. CloudSky
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    That was some decent return from Daniels. Now on to a Ritchie masterclass.
