Dugout Discussion – Huddersfield Town vs Bournemouth

A busy slate of Sunday fixtures gets underway at the John Smith’s Stadium as Huddersfield Town entertain Bournemouth at 12pm.

Owned by 10.3% of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers, the Cherries’ Callum Wilson is the most popular player on show for this one.

Over 101,000 snapped up the forward for Gameweek 27 after a run of four goals and two assists in seven.

Wilson has history against the Terriers, too, firing a hat-trick to claim his season-high haul of 17 points back in Gameweek 12.

With a goal or assist in four of the last five Gameweeks, Jordon Ibe – at just 4.9 – is also in fine form for the visitors, who arrive on the back of a seven-match unbeaten run that includes a 3-0 win at Chelsea in their previous road trip.

The hosts, on the other hand, have done little to convince of their Fantasy potential in recent outings, firing a single goal in the last six fixtures.

Yet a good result today could bring David Wagner’s men onto our radars ahead of a very favourable schedule that pits them against teams in the bottom half of the table in six of the next seven Gameweeks (wba SWA CRY new bha WAT).

    Ibe has been atrocious - given the ball away almost every time Bournemouth has been on the break or in good positions. He's the reason Wilson hasn't really got into the game so far. Howe needs to hook him asap and bring on King

      Apologies. I brought Ibe in this week.

    How did Stan manage to pass the ball ino the net? He hasn’t found a Bou player since. Terrible

      agreed, Wilson has found himself in space but his passing to wilson has been so bad.

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

        Probably getting confused by all the Wilson's on the pitch.

    Why hasn't Daniels scored yet 🙁

  4. FlockofSeagulls
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Daniels on free kicks and corners so not all bad I guess.

    Bournemouth are a bit like a mid-table Arsenal. Play expansive football with little regard for defense

      *Arsenal are like a mid table Arsenal 🙁

    Bournemouth assets are cheap for good reason it seems

      Only half time lad.

    2. Collie01

      Averaging 2 goals per game not bad for budget attackers.

        Guess they don’t get to play Chelsea every week 🙂

    What's the record for the most number of points for a relegated team?

    Surely it will be broken this season

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

      49, not really.

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

        In a 38 game season?

    2. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      How so sure it will be broken if you don't know what it is 😀

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

        I just assumed it wasnt too much

        Just checked. It's 42 in a 38 game season. Very unlikely

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

      More likely to happen in a season with 2 absolute shite teams that get no points with 3rd going down getting a fair bit more than those 2.

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

        The question should be what's the most number of points by the bottom ranked team

        You're right the 42 points west ham got for being relegated..they finished 18 above 19th team

  8. Fantasy Gold
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Only fixture where Wilson has scored points for me was Chelsea away and he was on my bench.

    Really hate him.

    1. Begbie.
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      He's got 4 goals and 2 assists for me. Quite like the dude myself 🙂

    2. JasonG123
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      I bought him after his hat-trick for about 5 blanks and now again last week for 1.5 blanks.

      However he's been getting into good positions today, just the delivery to him has been woeful.

    Wilson doing anything?

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      He's not playing.

        I wish. Milivojevic 1st sub. 🙁

  10. Maddi Son
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Do you think Mahrez will start games from now on? Or too risky to bring in atm?

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      I can't see why he wouldn't, but who knows.

      1. Maddi Son
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        You recon he's worth bringing in? Their fixtures are amazing but I'm wondering if Vardy is the safer Leicester attacking assset.

        1. Maddi Son
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          asset* lul

        2. Begbie.
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          I think he is. Planning to get him in this GW. He's got the two weeks training and an FA cup game between now and then so he'll most likely be back starting by then. He's by far their best player and they refused to sell him for a reason.

          1. Maddi Son
            • 6 Years
            6 years, 2 months ago

            Cheers mate, I think I will bite the bullet too.

        Think he was having a bad day

        20 points in FPL and Man City went on a riot - these 2 things are sure to push him over the edge

    2 - Huddersfield have scored as many goals in 27 minutes against Bournemouth as they managed in their previous seven @premierleague games. Traps. - Opta with the obligatory nonsense word in the end 😀

  17. Rash

    A 2nd half brace from Wilson badly needed

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

    In that Ladbrokes ad did Kammy say “oh so disappointment”?

  19. Maddi Son
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Is Trippier worth it if you have half decent defenders on the bench? Obviously he's a rotation risk, but if he doesn't play I'll have either Daniels or Fernandez to come in for him.

    There's obviously the small risk that Trippier gets subbed on at the end of a game, but he tends to either play a full 90 or dropped completely.

    1. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      I’m considering him as well. I think such a move, with a good bench, is viable, and with spurs fixtures and return of Toby, actually be good.

    2. FlockofSeagulls
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      I'm looking at Toby personally.

      1. Maddi Son
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah if I had the money, I'd save myself the headache on just go with him. However, I have 5.3 so Trippier suddenly becomes a pretty good option.

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

      Him and Davies are really tempting and both of them are the better options. I'd say with your defenders it seems viable.

    4. teneighty
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Not a bad idea if you have playing back ups. When Toby is back which will be soon hopefully, spurs will probably keep more clean sheets.

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

    I'll chop my left pinky finger off for a Wilson hattrick in the second half

    1. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      I’ll do that to go back in time and change my last ocd captain change back from salah to Aguero.

    2. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      I could believe this

    3. FlockofSeagulls
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Do it, post pic, and I can easily make that happen.

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

        nah need to see a brace first

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

          You're all talk mate. 😉

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

            I'll genuinely do this. That's how much confidence I have in Wilson being useless

  21. Rash
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone at a stage of just having no clue what to do with their team anymore or is it just me?

    1. CloudSky

    8. the snazzy viking
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      of course I could be my own blame for my downfall in rank - but those load of injuries I got in GW18 absolutely killed me. 6 injuries at once, dealt with 4 of them for a -8, and meant I couldn't deal with the other important moves that I wanted to do eg. Morata to Firmino, Richarlison to Coutinho.

      similar thing has happened here with Aguero - if I was getting him in for free I would've got him in, but there was no possible way into that. had to focus on getting Alonso in as my priority and what a bad move that's been so far

      you can say I make these kind of posts all the time and just disregard it, but in the end I'm just an unlucky guy and when you're on luck's wrong side, it's hard to perform well

      Son by a mile but not sure if Moura is a threat.

      The other 2 have terrible fixtures coming up so would pass.
