Dugout Discussion – Saturday

Saturday’s events continue with a batch of six afternoon kick-offs with some key assets on show.

Marko Anautovic goes into the clash with Bournemouth at the London Stadium as the most signed player ahead of Gameweek 24, boasting over 311,000 new owners. The West Ham midfielder turned striker has six goals from is last seven Gameweek starts and will go head-to-head with Callum Wilson for the Cherries. Signed by 157,000 before today’s deadline, Wilson has three goals from his last five starts.

Jesse Lingard’s ownership increased by more than 532,000 for Gameweek 23, only to blank in Monday night’s victory over Stoke. He will get the opportunity to boost his stock and justify that recent investment at Turf Moor as Manchester United take on Burnley.

Leicester City’s Fantasy assets will be under scrutiny against Watford at the King Power Stadium. Riyad Mahrez has picked up 106,000 new owners ahead of this match, with Vardy brought in by 118,000. They will face a Hornets defence without a clean sheet in ten outings and with reserve keeper Orestis Karnezis between the posts as Heurelho Gomes misses out through injury.

Meanwhile, at Goodison Park, Theo Walcott earns his debut for Everton backed by 25,000 new owners as Wayne Rooney drops to the bench.

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

    A. firmino and otamendi
    B. vardy and alonso

    had 3 big defenders for a while now.

    Azpi, Jones and Bellerin.

    Is it worth keeping Bellerin when aresnal have been keeping so few CS? Think i've been lucky with his recent goals

    1. Differentiator
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      I'd keep. Good fixtures, v attacking

    2. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Keep

  3. Differentiator
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    As it stands, my wildcard is looking like a fight off between

    Aguero (old team) and Stones + Sterling + 6 pts

    Time to light up that joint. 😎

    Too much alcohol acting on m GABA receptors in the brain.

      haha, this scientific approach is hardly microdosing, but it could work

        I abuse substances responsibly.

    Is any Niasse owner getting points from him?

    1. Kermit Special
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      I'm getting points from him on my bench 😀

    2. johnnys balloons
      • 6 Years

      The leader in my minileague... coming from bench. And ofc, guy have Luka Milivojevic in his team, pfff

  6. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Danilo in for otamendi not my best ever decision.

    1. johnnys balloons
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Not at all

  7. JohnnyMagrinho
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Any news on Ramsey? Is he still injured or just lacking match fitness?

      Seemed a bit odd not to be involved today even though he wasn't flagged and pretty much all the publications thought he'd be starting...

      1. FC nelo
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        I read on an Arsenal forum he was ill, but no sources. Hoping for that so he will be back next GW.

    • moz_1983
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      All these goals today and not a single goal or assist for my team. Damn.

    • FPL ZB
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 7 Years

      Ogbonna and Masuaku have let a lot of people down this year

      1. AlCapwnUK
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        yep. not the worst punt ever given the limited options at that price though

      2. Kermit Special
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        DGW trap.

    • SirStevieG
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Failgard to Shaqiri or Chuopo?

      1. JohnnyMagrinho
          6 years, 5 months ago

          Thinking of shipping Lingard for Choupo myself. Stoke have some really, really good fixtures coming up and looked good today.

          He's really bloody cheap too.

      2. Rainer

          Better combo ?

          b/ Vardy + 4.5 midf (3-4-3)

          Thanks.

              I'm not sure really, Van Djiik an option too.

              He obv need to go anyway sometime, but Bournemoth H is a really nice fixture.

              Somehow he dont get the points....

          Willian a decent option for next 3 weeks? very cheap.

          Damn i though Mahrez was on penos for Leicester ?

          1. Differentiator
            • 8 Years

            Half thought this too. Not massively bothered though

          2. TallestJohn
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 5 months ago

            Don't think there's a set taker. Tbh I'm half relieved as both he and Vardy have missed a few.

        13. Numb

          What happened with Richarlison? Some mentioned retro ban

          1. Monkey Hanger
            • 10 Years
            6 years, 5 months ago

            Stood on Oka's nuts.

          2. MTPockets
              6 years, 5 months ago

              Okazaki went down, and sat with ball between his legs expecting a fk. Richarlison went for and got the ball out, perhaps glancing him. The rest is FFS amplification, as Okazaki was claiming a dead leg from another challenge.

              (Rich owner, but selling him anyway)

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            6 years, 5 months ago

            How does this look?

            Richarlison, Son and Christensen -> Mahrez, Ibe and Alonso (-8)

            1. Mind över Mata
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              6 years, 5 months ago

              If not Ibe then another mid up to 5.2m

            2. Differentiator
              • 8 Years
              6 years, 5 months ago

              Mental, can't justify the -8

              1. Differentiator
                • 8 Years
                6 years, 5 months ago

                Just do Rich and Christ to Ibe and Alo week 1 if you really want to

            3. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…

            • 6 Years
            6 years, 5 months ago

            a) Vardy & Mane
            b) Mahrez & Firmino

            • 6 Years
            6 years, 5 months ago

            Oh no! I kept Jones on the bench as first option!! And looks like all my starters will play. It was either Jones or Lingaard on the bench.

            Gamble of Cenk Tosun did not pay off.

            1. Rupert The Horse

              Seriously, benching jones in a game like this is... Very sily...

                6 years, 5 months ago

                i know. probably my dumbest decision this season. I was ranked 25k 2 months ago. Dropped now to 100k & will probably drop further. I need Aguero to score big today as I captained him.

              Alli to Mane or Mahrez?

              Or keep against United at home?

              1. Crouching Tiger

                I'm wondering the same. No $$$ for Mane though.
