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.

    Bought in Kane for a -4 this GW

    God I know you are up there:

    I am willing to sacrifice and have Kane Blank this GW34 if you allow Salah to have at least a Brace today

    I've spat in my hand and now we will have a virtual shake!

    I don't own Salah so i've just bought his goals at 0.85 with Sporting Index for £150 a goal. At least I don't have to hide behind the sofa now.

    Any chance lingard and Willian will accumulate another 23 pts from the following? This would be simply to breakeven with Mili and Zaha who I binned for a -4 this week. Painful gameweek. Not confident myself.

    Lingard (wba H)
    Willian (bur A)

    Need a few injuries for City tonight. They could then become a god sent on FH. Jesus, Sane and Sterling would be brilliant.

    I have a question about point hits. When are they deducted. The total points score shown in the mini league table currently, is that pre GW34 points and point hit?

    1. TorresMagic™

      Next update tonight.

  17. @FPL_liverbird (liverpoolfa…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    6 years, 25 days ago

    For the Bench Boosters.... how many point from your bench so far and how many to play (Legit bench not Mahrez, Smalling on the bench for example).

    Currently:
    L Cook(0),Dunk(4),Long(8),Ryan(2) = 14 points with 5 to play

    Looking to get to 20 points!

    1. Dybala10
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 25 days ago

      Ryan (2), Gudmunsson (7*), Long (10*), Vertonghen (0).

      Got very lucky.

      1. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 25 days ago

        damn

  18. Garfield1001
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 25 days ago

    I think I may have messed up free hit. I have activated it and changed all players.

    For those that WC32 and brought in Lukaku, De Gea and Barnes straight away - do you gain selling value if they rise tonight?

    Thanks

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 25 days ago

      Yes.

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 25 days ago

      Same as usual - you get the SV at the time you sell them. People who wait until certain players to rise may get an extra 0.1 or so.

    3. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 25 days ago

      yep

    4. Garfield1001
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 25 days ago

      So I have messed up then?

      But it just affects my free hit valuation available?

  19. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 25 days ago

    frustrating so far...
    hopefully lukaku (tc), kane (less points), son, ddg, robbo change that.
    as well as mahrez, barnes, willian second games.
    and salah max 10 pointer for y'all.

    surely salah firmino mane minutes to be managed

  20. Mortal.Swinbat
    • 13 Years

    Let’s see if my gamble of taking out Salah and Firmino pays off

  21. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 25 days ago

    Soooo I have Robbo and Ibe and need Salah to keep quiet. I've been in better situations 😆

  22. seewhyaxe

    29 pts from 11 (BB used)

    am i bragging?

    1. grumpyman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      22 from 10 here. So yes.

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 25 days ago

      Who are the other 4?

      1. seewhyaxe
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 25 days ago

        Kaku, Salah, DDG, Son.

    3. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 25 days ago

      2.6 points per player isn't great...

    4. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 25 days ago

      bragging ? that's bad score

      1. seewhyaxe
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 25 days ago

        yea that's what I thought! just trying to make sure my expectations are right

        1. Hy liverpool

    2. Stinglikeabee

      Yes. Could the golden boot race means he starts the remaining games?
