Dugout Discussion – Saturday

Following on from Southampton’s 1-0 defeat of Palace at Selhurst Park, we focus our attentions on five 3pm kick-offs.

Liverpool and Man City both supply two of the top 10 captains for the Gameweek.

Roberto Firmino and Mo Salah are backed by 4% and 2% respectively as the Reds’ welcome to Anfield.

Both have already bagged two sets of double-digits in the opening four Gameweeks and were in the goals in Wednesday’s Champions League draw against Sevilla.

Meanwhile, Sergio Aguero (4%) and Gabriel Jesus (2%) were also in scoring form in midweek as Pep Guardiola’s side breezed past Feyenoord.

The Etihad outfit have racked up nine goals in their last two matches in all competitions and travel to Watford looking for a repeat of last season’s 5-0 win at Vicarage Road.

Elsewhere, Jamie Vardy heads to Huddersfield on the back of three goals in his first four Gameweeks – all scored against Arsenal and Chelsea.

Newcastle’s Joselu and Stoke’s Eric Choupo-Moting boast some strong underlying numbers as they square up at St James’ Park. Over 235,000 drafted in the Cameroon international after he bagged a brace in last Saturday’s home draw with Man United.

The Magpies’ Rob Elliot is once again the most benched player in the Gameweek – despite serving up back-to-back clean sheets, over 853,000 owners have named him as a sub.

West Brom and West Ham clash at the Hawthorns after contrasting results last week.

Hauled off just after the hour-mark in the 2-0 win over Huddersfield, Javier Hernandez was subject to over 230,00 transfers out – only Sadio Mane and Paul Pogba were jettisoned by more managers over the previous week.

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

      Hard to tell if Wood had a touch, but Brady owners are fuming if its been taken away from him

    3. Sánchez

      Clear touch by wood

      defender touches it, not wood. look at a different angle

    I think Salah is on around 5 shots already. Scary not to own.

    1. Magic Bean

      He's been quality

    Since I took Jesus out, he's scored 4 goals in 3 games 🙁

      Me too, even in my team name

    2. diesel001

      Why knee-jerking is bad IMO. I have Firmino. If he blanks today I am not taking him out - he is a quality player in a Top 6 team and will score goals.

      1. Magic Bean
        • 8 Years

        Not when Sturridge starts

          You think Sturridge will stay fit all season?

    Feeling smug I kept faith with my with my Kane, Aguero and Jesus attack! Boom baby, keep it coming

      What's you midfield like though

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

        Its not great, and I have always usually gone strong in midfield past seasons. I just don't see real stand out players when there I feel there is potential up front this season.

        Elliot
        Kolasinac, Mendy, Davies, Azpil
        Salah, Kante, Choupo-Moting
        Aguero, Kane(C), Jesus

        Gomes, Carroll, Mbemba, Chalabah

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

          I had real question marks over Aguero but then Pep came out said he would get 90% of games. Plus Aguero and Jesus link up really well. As a city fan, last season I could not see how Aguero would fit in Pep's style of play, but by the end of last season I was convinced he can...and excel. Thats why I have t have them both.

  11. Hybrid.power

    Antonio doing anything??

    1. aluigi76
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Nothing impactful. Second week I've had him

  12. R.C
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Looks like the synergy between Jesus and Kun is what the secret is

  13. Athletic Nasherbo
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    I'm usually quite patient but that Stones+Aguero -4 to Alonso and Morata hurt me... ouch Aguero 3 goals on an assist missed

    1. R.C
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Alonso + Morata will score 4-5 goals dw

  14. My neck my back my Saed Kol…
    • 9 Years

    I mean I know this is a ridiculous knee jerk but lukaku out for Kun? I currently own 0 city and already have lukaku

    1. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Well, see how he does tomorrow

      You already have him? Thought you wanted to sell a player you didn't own for a second.

      1. My neck my back my Saed Kol…

        Meant mikhi, seeing these goals fly in has got me in a real bad way

  15. jia you
    • 7 Years

    A lot of very average teams in the EPL this season - WBA & WHU are certainly two of em!

  16. Fuchs Mane Kante

    Dead teams are crushing, will i ever get out the top five million.

  17. The Royal Robin
    • 8 Years

    Kane > Aguero is looking more on the cards to me. With Davies and Eriksen as cover.

    1. Les Bleus
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      No chance for me.

      1. The Royal Robin
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Not tempted? I have no City at all so I'm going to have to consider it with Palace next up for City.

      That's what I've done but with Alli. Kane will obviously score goals but cheaper players will keep up with him. The amount of pressure I had this week telling me to remove Jesus for Kane. I will not wilt unless it's blindingly obvious Jesus stops scoring.

    5. Qubit
      • 15 Years

      Lukaku yes maybe, Kane no.

      They said this 12 months ago

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

        That was with very suspect full backs and goalkeeper. As a City fan, even after our start last season, I was just not convinced. This season is feeling more effortless, I am convinced (with bias of course) that with our depth, we can keep up this standard.

    Hegazi, Foster CS Guaranteed.. Well done to those who have them

  20. Jolly Good
    • 8 Years

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

      Same here. We should be happy for Jesus

  21. R.C
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Salah can score way way more if Coutinho wasn't selfish

  22. The Enlightener
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Just saw Mounie out for today. First on me bench.....Atsu!

  23. AC Tomasso
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Kun already on 12 points

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

    Should have gone Walker over Mendy.

    1. Garlana
      • 9 Years

    1. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      On the wing 🙁

      Sturridge up top

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

    If only Lukaku would start scoring more than a goal a game.

    1. Licious Lizard
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Lol

    2. Norman Conquest
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      i think he would be happy with a 38 goal total

      1. Licious Lizard
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Haha this. That guy is crazy

  28. Bubz
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Think Kun + Jesus double up could be absolute magic over the next 4 fixtures

    1. The Royal Robin
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      If I was WC'ing, I'd be tempted.

  29. Mark-O
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Wants Jesus, Kolasinac, Kane, Eriksen, Davies, Salah etc... can't have every big hitters in the team! 🙁

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

      If only there was a couple of 3.5m players to help fit them in

  30. Ben the Mee
      6 years, 9 months ago

      How's Mendy looking. Not as attacking in a back 4? Looking to replace Cedric.

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

        Hes been fairly high up, but seems city are pushing at holebas down the right so hes not too involved
