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.

    3. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      3 goals and an assist in last 4

  11. Aston-villain
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Chicharito would make a decent 3rd striker if it wasnt for the fixtures....is anyone tempted anyway?

    1. COLLIN QUANER
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Been there once already at the start of the season. Never again.

  12. Optic1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    How are the Kane captainers feeling? (not a wind up question)

    1. KAPO KANE
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Pretty good, genuinely don't think Liverpool will turn up at Southampton

      1. Optic1
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        The no bonus a bit annoying (I own Kane still!)

        1. KAPO KANE
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Is it for definite? I now it tends to change later on

          1. Optic1
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 4 months ago

            Well he's not even on the list of top 5 bps for Spurs so I doubt any additions will change that too much.

            1. KAPO KANE
              • 7 Years
              6 years, 4 months ago

              Cool. It might even end up being a quite week for which 6 points is good. It is annoying especially considering he was officially MOTM

              1. KAPO KANE
                • 7 Years
                6 years, 4 months ago

                Quiet*

              2. Optic1
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 7 Years
                6 years, 4 months ago

                True. He missed a couple chances which would have deducted bps from him. Had spurs not kept a CS he might have made it in there I think.

      2. STEP rOVERS
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        What about Aguero?

        1. KAPO KANE
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          I think he'll be hauled off early or benched for champs league

        2. KAPO KANE
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Blimey how wrong was I!

    2. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 7 Years

      Better than a blank. No bonus is annoying.

    3. Coaly
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Disappointed at no bonus, would have been happy with 8 points

      On 2 baps and Benteke just missed an assist for him, perfectly served on Benteke’s head

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Difficult to score from though.. not a bad miss imo..

    DT slating Cech after today's game. Is he insane?

    1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 7 Years

      AHAHA that is amusing 😀

    2. Sims
      • 7 Years

      Don't really care about DT or any other so called fans who spit nonsense just to get more views

    3. Epic Fail

      He's just a guy. Why care what he has to say?

  21. FC Hakkebøf
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    I have mad respect for Sean Dyche. No matter who plays in the defence, they always put up a fight and keep CS in a lot of games as well. Its quite amazing to be honest.

    1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      And they're still 7th aren't they?

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Yep. Its unbelieveable.

    2. Sims
      • 7 Years

      They're anti football never want to attack

      1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Have you seen his squad? I don't blame him for doing it. They would not be able to make it if they tried to go forward more.

        1. FC Hakkebøf
          • 7 Years

          Great minds think a like haha

        What to do with their budget?

        And no they are not anti football, they are just anti-offensive minded football.. Defence is also a part of the sport.. you work with what you got
