Dugout Discussion – Saturday

A quartet of afternoon kick-offs keep the Gameweek rolling, with plenty of interest in a range of mid-price Fantasy assets.

Swansea City’s Jordan Ayew is among the most signed players in action, having claimed another 139,000 owners ahead of his home meeting with Burnley. The Ghanian has four goals in his last seven Gameweeks.

Theo Walcott has also proved a popular acquisition this week, with 128,000 managers snapping him up having watched him produce two goals and an assist in his previous two home matches on Merseyside. He takes on Crystal Palace at Goodison Park today.

Pascal Gross also features among the top ten most signed ahead of today’s deadline, with 126,000 swooping for the Brighton playmaker. He returned 13 points in the 3-1 win over West Ham last time out.

The German will face a rejuvenated Stoke City side who have kept two clean sheets in their three matches under new manager Paul Lambert. Xherdan Shaqiri is the Potters’ own big asset on show – he goes into today’s contest owned by 498,000+ managers.

West Ham host Watford in the final three o’clock encounter. All eyes will be on Gerard Deulofeu in this one; following his 13 points against Chelsea on Monday; the winger has been signed by 192,000, second only to Arsenal pair Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang ahead of today’s deadline.

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

    I don't understand Plymouth Argyle this season. Bottom of the league in December, 5pts behind the playoffs now. Now that's one hell of a turnaround. We can't stop winning! 🙂

          Not if it's in place of Villa. They can feck off.

      used to be a horrible place to go.
      On top of the hill with open terraces - frezing cold & windy.

    As if milo scores again, Lingard better not play

  3. janowsc
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Adam so slow he couldn't get that rebound. Lol

  4. SADIO SANÉ

    Finally Adrian you piece of shite, Ogbonna looking very pleased with himself sitting on my bench 😀

  5. Rainer

    Hoooooooooooold, Shakira!

  6. Pariße

    Adrian CS when I bench him. Very nice.

    1. Sailboats
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Why would you bench him this week? Watford don't score when playing away

      1. Pariße
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Honestly didn't look much into it, I've been fed up with him, because they've been getting ridiculous goals lately and I thought Watford would've done better against them. Played Lössl (BOU) instead and I'm now strongly convinced he's not going to keep a clean sheet tomorrow.

    Fabianski - gotta love him 🙂

    1. Spike ⚽️
      • 12 Years

      And Naughton !

      Best budget keeper currently.

  8. Railwayman
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    So basically, when Williams plays, Everton will concede a penalty...

  9. UshFPL
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone else start Pope and Mee?

    1. UshFPL
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      So frustrating

    2. Spike ⚽️
      • 12 Years

      Evs did

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

      I did
      Benched adrian

    4. Robben Mee Blind
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Yep. Adrian, Oggy and Milly on bench 🙁

  10. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Again, how did Chelsea lose 1-4 to Watford when even Ogbonna can manage a CS?

    1. JustPark
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      They were minus one man on the pitch.

    2. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Hard to play an hour with 10 men when the squad is thin and tired already from. Should just disregard that entire game.

  11. Godot - Fashanu Zealand
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    JAyew blank, badly need Lingard to do the same now

  12. No Totti No Party
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    3 weeks ago transfered in Choupo, Shaq was too mainstream...

    1. Zilla
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      no shaqiri no party

  13. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Shaqiri WILL keep the 3 BAPs 😎

  14. BAMBAA
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Had 5 home wins on a bet today. That Adam penalty miss cost me a little bit over 1000eur. Was it even a good try?

    1. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      🙁

    2. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Had the same bet plus Man City

      1. BAMBAA
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Thank god it was westham game that was showing here..

  15. Viper
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Surely no one has many points today here? I'm on 17 with Shaqs 3bps included. Can't see many points other than Swansea/West Ham defenders?

    1. CRO KLOPP
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      25 from 4( Salah captain)

      1. Viper

    2. Sailboats

      I have 22 from 4 + baps (shaq). Finally a good start for the week, been horrible 4 weeks in a row.

    5. diesel001
      • 7 Years

      Average is 16 from 3.7 out of 12 played

    6. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      18 from 5 here. Terrible start

    7. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      18 from 3. (Kane, Shaqiri, Mee.) Ogbonna on the bench!

    8. BobBradleysOpportunity
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      16 from 2 shaq casually delivering for us casuals

    9. Judders
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      23 from 5. Pope losing the CS hurt. Walcott was crap the week I get him in of course. Salah (c) has me with high hopes.

  16. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Jammy Pep will bring on Stones with 3 min left to play

  17. Legomané
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Is Niasse just too good value to ignore...fairly happy sitting on Wilson for now, but not delighted at the prospect of him sharing game time with Defoe after this Gameweek.

    1. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Gutted he’s on my bench this week but hoping Lingard doesn’t turn up.

      I think he’s a starter for me from next week.

      1. JJO
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

      2. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago
