Dugout Discussion – Saturday

The day continues with six afternoon kick-offs with an array of Fantasy big guns on show.

Pep Guardiola’s teamsheet again hits the headlines ahead of Manchester City’s meeting with Leicester. Having been signed by over 118,000 new managers, with 494,000 handing him the captaincy, Sergio Aguero is kept on the bench by the City boss.

That means that Gabriel Jesus starts for a sixth successive away match. Raheem Sterling and Fabian Delph also overcome injury concerns to start, while Leroy Sane – signed by 259,000+ ahead of Gameweek 12 – is on Pep’s teamsheet once again, his eleventh start in 12 matches in all competitions.

Chelsea’s Alvaro Morata was the most signed forward heading into today’s deadline, claiming 225,000 new owners. He will lead the Blues attack at The Hawthorns, with Eden Hazard once again in the No 10 role for Antonio Conte’s side. David Luiz is left on the bench by his manager, as Andreas Christensen earns a second successive start.

Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah was the hot property heading into Gameweek 12, with 291,000 snapping up the Egyptian following his season-high 15-points at West Ham. Salah is skippered by 476,000+ (8.9%) ahead of his meeting with Southampton.

Elsewhere Bournemouth host Huddersfield at the Vitality Stadium with Charlie Daniels – signed by 71,000 – the main interest.

Crystal Palace welcome Everton to Selhurst Park, while the Burnley defence will be backed to return another clean sheet against the visiting Swansea City attack.

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

    As a Lukaku captainer I am worried he won’t even make it to 60 mins...

    Aguero, Ramsey + 4.5m mid

    to

    Pogba, Hazard + £4.5m striker

    What do you think?

    Would be 8 point hit. I'd like to leave it a week but worried I'd then miss out due to price rises.
