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.

    2ft and should just chill and see what happens in injury break, right? No need to WC?

    When I close my eyes I can see Firmino's pearly white teeth smiling back at me He's saying "That fecker will rue the day he sold me for Kane for a hit"

    And how right he is. I need a drink. And not a caipirinha either.

      D - how about Hegazi?

    3. The Polymath

      With that score why are you asking us? 😉

      Dann to Trip?

      1. Slurpy
        • 8 Years

    5. Unsuccessful

    1. Spag Bolasie
      • 6 Years

      Pretty good. Could argue on Alonso funds to upgrade RLC/carroll but that's just personal preference

  11. Lyonnais
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    What would you do here?

    Foster / Elliot
    Bailly, Stephens, Mee / Dann, Long
    Eriksen, Salah, Mooy, Fraser / Carroll
    Kane, Lukaku, Gabbiadini

    1 FT, 2.0 ITB

    Fraser needs to go but what is the best way to get him out?
    Maybe Bailly + Fraser ---> Jones + Pogba -4 ?

    1. Lyonnais
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      thanks for the upvote... who ever it was... reply would have come more handy 😉

  12. NeedleInDeGeaStack

    potential WC team. Thoughts?

    Forster, Elliot
    Alonso, Jones, Yoshida, Mbemba, Tuanzebe
    Mane, Salah, Eriksen, Mkhi, Phillips
    Morata, Vardy, Ayew

    4 of the 9 transfers are Gabbi, King, Ake, and KDB

  13. Delph & Safety
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Best KDB replacement?

    Already have salah, I'm looking at Eriksen as best option despite today.

    1. Pierce34
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Agreed, Eriksen. Or Alli. Coin toss between the two, just pick one and stick.

  14. Scotty B
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Which one is better pick?

    A Lacazette
    B Jesus

  18. _Ninja_
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Ship Lukaku to Morata to afford Willian to Mane/Salah?

  19. LǝgleSs e|even
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Can anyone please enlighten me about Moreno?

    Danilo and Moreno weren't nailed last week, did Danilo ---> Hegazi. Played Monreal since he was nailed, and benched Moreno. (dont ask me why I have liv and ars in defense)
    Moreno scores 7 this gw and Monreal 0. Is it purely rotation or am I a noob for not knowing some other detail here?

    Thanks in advance!

    1. Speédy
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Moreno,Robertson,Milner. 3 players for 1 position.

  20. The Polymath
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    Listen Kane is as upset as us for not getting the FPL points we were expecting. Give him some slack.

  21. Coaly
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    a) Kane to Morata
    b) KDB to Mhiki
    c) Save

    1. Delph & Safety
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      B wouldn't be rushing kane out just yet.

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        B for me too

    2. Please Help I Don't Kn…
      • 7 Years

      B

  22. We Will Klopp you

    What to do with Trippier, 0.6m itb 1FT

    A) Play Suttner/Lowe (which one?), hold until another option arises or hopefully Trips remains an option
    B) Bavies
    C) Jones
    D) Hold for now, hope Aurier doesn't join

    1. Jakarta
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Chill and play Trippier, he was 2 minutes way from 8 points today. Even if Aurier joins and gets let into the country he'll be eased in.

  23. The Mandalorian
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Kane owners now is not the time for fear, that comes later when he drops 0.3 over the break.

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

      That won't happen...

      Expect he will drop 0.1

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

      Price drop doesn't really matter if you will keep him right, season keeper bar injury

    3. LǝgleSs e|even
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      I guess, only way is to keep monitoring http://www.fplstatistics.com/. He will survive drop today ,currently at -74.0%

    Guys I'm lost. Got 58 gw 1 followed by a 31 and 40 -4 this wk.

    Likes of PVA,KDB,Gabbi,Kane (captained this wk) also Ramsey and Ritchie to a lesser extent.

    Take it on the chin or what??
    Well down the ranking in all my MLs

    1. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Took early to Wildcard, Cam.

      Take it on the chin.

    2. Spag Bolasie
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      wild card. too many holes only Kane to keep out of that, but he's dropping 0.2. So should take out and bring back in at the end of the break

  25. Albrightondknight
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Me let's 26 points on bench
    ML rival has Mbemba off the bench for Kola.
    Love this game.

  26. Salvesion Army
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Would you wildcard this lot?

    Forster Elliot
    Ake Mee Rosenior Kompany TAA
    Fabregas Eriksen Mooy Mkhi Carroll
    Lukaku Firmino Jesus

    Would like to get Arnold out, and would like to double up on Liverpool with Mane/Salah. Would also like Kane eventually. Those operations would be difficult without wildcarding. Still, the team works for now imo. I have 1ft and 1.9 itb. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

    1. Haggis
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      1ft enough imo

      1. Salvesion Army
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Cheers. Will hold for now, then. 🙂

    Is Naughton worth a third defender?

  28. Clifford☯
    • 7 Years

    Would you WC this team?

    Foster
    Kolasinac Stephens Daniels Suttner

      Not me personally.

      Need to dispose of kola

      Keep eye on Stephens Daniels gross but best to save wildcard

  29. Guigui

    Anyone thinking to have Salah + Mane + firmino ?

  30. Cuchu

    Alli or Morata, which one I should go with?
