Dugout Discussion – Sunday – Part Two

The second instalment to Sunday’s slice of Premier League action brings Gameweek 3 to a close with matches at Anfield and Wembley Stadium.

The attention of Fantasy managers will be pulled in different directions, with key assets on show in both contests.

After the “failings” of Romelu Lukaku, Paul Pogba and Sergio Aguero on Saturday, we now look to see if Harry Kane can step up.

Kane is backed 741,000+ (16.1%) ahead of the “home” encounter with Burnley as he bids to end a run of two single point returns and score his first competitive career goal in August.

Should he succeed, it would doubtless have a major impact on rankings and transfer activity over the international break.

Equally, events at Anfield could have a major effect on our thinking leading up to Gameweek 4.

Liverpool boast an array of attacking talent, including the electric Sadio Mane, who lines up in tandem with the in-form Roberto Firmino and Mo Salah.

But Arsenal have their own riches on show, with all eyes on the performance of Alexis Sanchez.

He returns to the Gunners’ line-up as Alexandre Lacazette suprisingly drops to the bench as Danny Welbeck leads the attack in a Arsenal’s 3-4-2-1.

Like Kane, should Sanchez convince and return points this afternoon, the impact on the FPL market would be substantial.

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

    Tempted to play 4-5-1 actually..

    Current mids and forwards:

    Eriksen, Alli, Pogba and T. Carroll
    Lukaku Jesus

    So much value in Pool-mid (plays like forwards).
    Feels like this is better - crazy?

    Eriksen, Alli, Mane, Pogba, max 7.1
    Lukaku

      See What you mean, and it looks good, but firmino is also great value - remember that forwards get more bps when they score, so firmino is a bps magnet this year

    Kane v Morata in the comparison of stats.....

    Winner: KANE

      Kane vs Morata on number of points.....

      Winner: MORATA

        Kane v morata on end of season points.

        Winner: Kane

          Morata will win

          can you get the lottery numbers from your crystal ball? How about next gameweeks top scorer?

          What a load of bollocks. So many kept hold of kane expecting his haul till this week. His barren run in August was said to be a thing of the past. Saw the same mentality on here with Aguero last season. So many people kept hold of him when selling him was the obviously best decision.

    WC or hold?

    Foster
    Mee Trippier Stephens
    Willian Alli Redmond Mane
    Lukaku Kane Jrod

    No FT left.

    1. banskt
      • 10 Years

      are you good with the subs?

      1. eazy
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        No.

        1. banskt
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          Then, I would suggest a WC. Willian, Trippier, Mane all are uncertain. If you have reliable subs, then you can ride it out.

      Yeah

    2. arndff_

      Hadn't you said that he's going for a haul this GW too?

  6. tafrère
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Considering Trippier will lose is place for GW4, is Trippier -> Fernandez an okay move ?

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

      Why would he?

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

        Aurier might be signed and was guilty on the goal.

      Great team.

      KDB to Alli
      Kane to Laca

      Then back to Kane in GW5

      1. Hurrikane

        Sounds good tbh. Thanks, you've improved my mood hahah

  8. cravencottage

    Which ?
    Salah or Pogba?

    1. We Will Klopp you
      • 7 Years

      Any other United/Pool players?

    2. Pierce34
      • 8 Years

      Mane or Mkhitaryan probably 😛

  9. banskt

    Pages flying. What would you do with guys:

    Dummett / Hennessey / Valencia / Ritchie / Mounie

    I have 1 FT, 1.0m itb, and WC intact. I am happy with the rest of my team.

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Dummet out if he is still inured.

      1. banskt
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        He is out for 3 weeks. And rest of them? Hold or hit?

    2. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Why would you ditch Valencia?

      Ritchie got an assist.

      And Mounie has good fixtures.

      1. banskt
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        I want my 6.5 def with attacking stats.

        Ritchie is falling in price. 🙁

        Both Mounie and Ritchie could be upgraded from the Valencia money.

    2. fishnil
      • 9 Years

      Nope. Ramsey-> fabregas, Kane->firmino should be sufficient

    What to do with Kun

    1. Rainer

        Not entirely sure

    2. banskt

      Swap if you can afford. Should not be the priority though.

      I'm dropping for Kane once he drops

      1. Moin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Thinking the same, it's between him and Morata

    6. Think
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Wait for kane's price to drop and bring him in of you have money in the bank. Otherwise downgrade for firmino or morata.

    @Tom Carroll 120pts+

    You've really got me thinking with that Kane out and Kane back in strategy....
    That's a really tempting way of gaining some value.

    Kane to Laca for -4
    Captain Laca in GW4
    Kane back in for Swansea...

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Some injuries/suspension and that will only increase number of hits

  16. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Is Bertrand Cedric double worth it. Their fixtures till gw11 are awesome. Dunno Alonso is worth it. Chelsea will buy a wingback in the remaining 4 days

    1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Rotation will be there. Chelsea play ucl and Alonso might be rested for the easy pl fixtures

      1. George Sillett
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        For who ?

        1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          Surely a backup will be signed in the window. Ox could be the one. Just wait and see

  17. Krafty Werks
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Foster (Elliot)
    Kola, Stephens, Lowe (Suttner, Long)
    KDB, Mane, Mikhitaryan, Carroll (RLC)
    Kane, Lukaku, Chicarito

    Kane stays but have a number of other issues including KDB & Kola, really wanna bring in one of Salah or Firmino to double up on Pool attack alongside the main Mane!! Don't really need to use WC just yet so it's either :

    A - KDB, Chica & Kola > Silva (or Pogba?), Firmino & Bailly (or Luiz?) -8
    B - KDB & Suttner > Salah & Trippier (and hold Kola for now?) -4
    C - KDB > Eriksen/Alli...no hit.

    Any thoughts/ideas much appreciated, thanks.

    1. fishnil
      • 9 Years

      A with Luiz and Silva

  18. Lone Wolf FPL

    1. Iceball

      Dont think I would WC that

      1. Lone Wolf FPL

        Any moves?

    2. diesel001

      Good team IMO.

    3. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      No need to WC that team.

  19. falafel
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    is it worth having both ricthie and moon and rotate them due to fixtures?

    1. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Too expensive

    2. QPRUTD
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Rotate the moon. Sick of seeing the same side of it all the time

  20. ★Kuntheman★
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Full defense:

    -------- (Elliot)
    Jones Hegazi ------- (Mbemba, --------)

    Which combo?

    A) Forster-Cedric-Naughton
    B) Fabianski-Bertrand-Naughton
    C) Forster-Bertrand-Rosenior

    1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 6 Years

      Get both Cedric and Bertrand
      Budget options and cant be rotated unlike yoshida Stephens

    2. diesel001

  24. Torreslove
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Initial reaction was to boot Kolasinic and Lacazette, but I think I will hold because they didn't start this game and there will be changes for the next. Have to admit, kneejerking Laca --> Firmino is very tempting

    1. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      If anything I'd be bringing Lacazette in

      1. Torreslove
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years

        He has looked good. but when the knee jerks logic goes out the window

    1. Whats the Mata?
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Kane

    2. Azathoth

      Firminio

    3. el polako
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Morata - in time for his price rise.
      Kanr will drop so you will make some money plus you will actually own a player that can score.

    4. Delph & Safety
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      I'd still be tempted to hold

  27. leocarter27

    1. Pierce34

    I don't think I've ever been this mad at Kane. You know what this means? Haul next week 😛
    I hope I don't become one of those guys who just kept Ibra for like 10 weeks of blanks because of the underlying stats...

    1. HNI
      • 11 Years

      At 12.5mn, you will be able to balance with replacements well irrespective of a haul

        Many players to drop in price during this break

        1. banskt
          • 10 Years

          I can only see Kane, and probably Willian / Ramsey dropping.

        2. Torreslove
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          keep an eye on willian., I have him and unsure what to do. ramsey might have to go, not sure what to expect from arsenal next game

      2. Pierce34
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        I wouldn't go that far - he's got Ramsey! But I agree, no need to wildcard.
