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.

    If you dont captain Niasse vs Palace at home is there any point in owning him?

    1. HNI
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Haha

  10. niloh1

    How’s Walcott doing

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      transparent

    2. HNI
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Just doing runs with 0 key passes and shots till. Will be forced to keep till gw31 anyway as he plays that 100%

  11. Nelius

    Niasse on my bench has more points than my Starting XI atm. Wondering why I cancelled that bench boost. Hindsight is wonderful

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Still pretty irrational to BB in a SGW, can't legislate for missed bench points. Niasse first on my bench too, let's just hope someone gets rested.

  12. AnfieldLad

    Niasse Mee Ogbonna, so many points on the bench

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Why would you bench Mee?

      1. Garlana
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        If you own otamendi, Jones and Alonso?

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          I guess so, but based on Burnley’s fixture and Otamendi’s form, i’d of played Mee

        2. HNI
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Same in my case. Plus daniels first on bench as more upside vs Hud

      2. liiusions
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Ota Jones Alonso back 3 has no room for Mee

    Anyone out there watching the Everton game how is Seamus Coleman looking?

    2. Sailboats

    3. liiusions
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      He looks comfortable sitting on the bench

    4. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      he looked good but went off at HT. Probably precautionary

      1. A Team Of James McCleans
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        probably just easing him back in

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years

    Conte being made to look like an idiot by Batshuayi. Didn't Conte watch the Bats / Hazard / Willian combo against Brighton. Some of the best football Chelsea have played this season.
