Dugout Discussion – Saturday

With two evening games to come, the afternoon’s proceedings are limited to just a quartet of matches.

From a Fantasy perspective, potential returns will be expected from Burnley’s clash with Leicester City along with Brighton’s visit to rivals Crystal Palace.

The Turf Moor clash finds two Double Gameweek teams collide, splitting the allegiance of Fantasy managers.

Burnley’s defence has just one clean sheet from 11 matches, with their last shut-out at home arriving back in Gameweek 18. Nevertheless, their defence has attracted sizeable investment ahead of today’s deadline with over 266,000 swooping for a member of today’s back five, with budget pick Kevin Long the most popular, having claimed 72,000+ new owners.

For the Foxes, the key assets are more obvious with Riyad Mahrez and Jamie Vardy boasting a combined ownership of over 2.4 million.

The latter heads into today’s game as the second most signed player of Gameweek 34, recruiting 246,000+ managers following a run of three goals in successive matches and seven in nine Gameweeks. Vardy is also backed by 225,000+ (4.0%) with the captaincy.

Points from the Selhurst Park encounter appears less likely, though both Palace and Brighton fought out a goalless draw in the reverse fixture and that’s a result which would certainly pacify recent investors in the Seagulls’ defence. Some 34,000 managers signed one of Brighton’s back five for Gameweek 34.

Glenn Murray and Pascal Gross also remain well backed for Gameweek 34, despite a run of three successive blanks for the pair. That attacking duo are the most signed Brighton players heading into today’s deadline, claiming a combined 78,000 new investors.

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

    How do price rises/falls work on a FH? Is it beneficial to make all transfers in one go to preserve team value?

      You just get your old team back at current value

      Just like any other week. Press free hit near the deadline if confused.

    Anything Kane gets against City is a bonus. Captained him with bri in mind...

      After City lost 3 games in a row, conceding 8 goals in the process? You're just kidding yourself!

    Bench of Pickford Mili Doucoure Schibdler a success with 18 points a BB success? Gutting Swansea scored.

    BBC sport said Barnes got an assist. I haven’t seen it but those who have, was it his assist?

    Why didn’t Albrighton play guys?

    Likely to play next match?

    Don’t want my rival to get jammy Salah bench points....

    Can anyone offer any advice on how the price changes are affected by the Free Hit chip? I have a team full of players very likely to have price rises tonight, but if I use the Free Hit will I miss out on the benefits? Presumably I would get any price rises or I might end up not being able to afford my team again, whilst any changes with my temporary team are ignored as long as I can afford them with my budget.

    Salah please have mercy on us sellers! I want you to win the Golden Boot, so just the 1 goals today mate. Go bonkers next week!

    Maybe because I've spent a month of the country but it feels weird to have an even later evening game after this one.

      Someone will confirm but I'm fairly sure this is the first 7:45pm Saturday kick off in the top flight?

      There's been one or two FA Cup games

      1. pjomara
        • 13 Years

        third - Southampton 4-0 Arsenal (26/12/2015) and Leicester 2-2 Manchester United (23/12/2017).

  18. George Sillett

    Very unhumble brag but who cares about this game when you've had a big lump on the GN winner ?

  19. George Sillett

    Kane will get nothing for that.
