Dugout Discussion – Wednesday

Gameweek 37 rolls on with four midweek fixtures of huge significance to Fantasy managers.

The two most captained and Triple Captained players are in action and both start.

Harry Kane heads into tonight’s contest off the back of another disappointing performance and a two-point return at The Hawthorns. He still carries the hopes of over a million managers who trusted him with the armband, with over 190,000 activating the Triple Captain chip on the Spurs striker.

Meanwhile, Gabriel Jesus is the other key man on show as champions Manchester City host Brighton and bid to shake off the malaise of Sunday’s 0-0 stalemate with Huddersfield Town.

Jesus has the backing of 277,000+ captaincies, with 75,000 of those using the Triple Captain chip on the Brazilian.

While that pair claim starts, the second most signed player for Gameweek 37 – Raheem Sterling – is missing as Pep Guardiola makes eight changes tonight.

The winger is excluded from Man City’s squad which will come as devastating news for the 264,000 who handed him the armband and, in particular, for the 69,000 managers who will now be resigned to just three points from their Triple Captain.

Elsewhere tonight, a much-changed Chelsea face Huddersfield at Stamford Bridge knowing that, should they fail to claim three points, the Blues they would surely have to surrender their bid for a top-four spot.

Meanwhile, Arsenal make the trip to a beleaguered Leicester City as they look to build on Sunday’s superb 5-0 victory over Burnley. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is the key asset for the Gunners – he is already the most signed player after his 16-points against the Clarets made him Gameweek 37’s top scorer so far.

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

    Just seeing the scores tonight. Jesus TC didn't go well. What the feck was he doing for the whole match?

      So glad my angry post got top. Fecking Jesus what a tw@

      Nothing. The wingers are so much more involved than he is. Hardly heard the commentator even mention his name.

    Should I transfer Hazard to Salah asap or wait to hear more news? I have 0.0 itb and if Salah rise and Hazard drops I'm screwed.

    1. Duffy Dunk
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 12 months ago

      I'd wait to make transfers till Sunday.
      Last year Joshua King said he wouldn't play in gw38, a few hours before deadline.

      Yes absolutely.

      Wait for what? Of course Salah will play.

    2 things:

    Start Ryan or McCarthy in goal?

    Which two defenders to start from Naughton, Daniels, Long? (Davies third starter)

    Thanks

              Naughton is shite for a start.

                I know but I think there is a CS there at home v a dejected Stoke

                  Surely Swansea will be equally dejected and as pish as they have been all year?

        Save FT so he gets 2FT at the start of next season

  6. FFSbet.com

    Terrible DGWs 140pts from both,i think last season i was around 200pts from DGW37 alone.

    1. Cheeseoid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 12 months ago

      How many points you get compared to last season really doesn't matter. It is how you do compared to others which matters. That is what effects your ranking

  7. emyoueffsee
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 12 months ago

    Would you prefer to have BB or TC for the final GW?

    1. jia you
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 12 months ago

      BB

      1. emyoueffsee

        5 years, 12 months ago

        Damn I have TC, why btw?

        1. jia you
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 12 months ago

          Just because it was such a disaster last week, give it another whirl haha! TC Salah could work out very well, GL!

    2. Sailboats
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 12 months ago

      TC on Salah

      1. emyoueffsee
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 12 months ago

        That's exactly my plan. Will transfer Hazard to Salah and TC him, no brainer. I'm 8 points ahead of 2nd place but he has no chips left but I am 20 points ahead of 3rd place, he has BB.

    3. Ghost Gooner
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 12 months ago

      TC

    4. Moosie the Staggie
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 12 months ago

      100% TC

  8. emyoueffsee
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 12 months ago

    How strange was it that bgw 31 was a massive high score and the 2 Dgwk's were underwhelming. Weird the way it worked out.

    1. jia you
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 12 months ago

      Salah 0n/Off form the major difference!

    2. Ghost Gooner
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 12 months ago

      Take Salah out and that gw was actually poor

  9. FFSbet.com
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 12 months ago

    Gut feeling both will not start

    Arnie + Jesus > Salah + Rashford (-4) leaves me with 0 ITB

    or just do Hazard > Salah ?

    1. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 12 months ago

      Arnie fit apparently

    Alli Or son? Who leaves my team for free?

    Mustafi to tomkins or pva for a hit YaaY?

    1. Boberella
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 12 months ago

      I just did Alli but only because he was the only player I could swap out to get Salah back without a hit.
      If I had a choice I would do Son.

  12. Neo-Viper
    • 9 Years

    Vardy to Firmino ?

    Salahless team

        Pogba/Arnie/Son would you transfer one out for Zaha and that too for a hit ?

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 12 months ago

          I'm worried about Pogba. I have him but I'll wait until tomorrow. JM very capable of playing a B team for the last game IMO.

      The HOF is either a nickname for David Hasselhoff the alter ego of Mitch Buchanan or the hall of fame.

      You will be in the Hall of Fame if you are in any of the FFS leagues.

      You have probably nebver been in David Hasselhoff

  17. Jinswick

    Circa 20 points behind ML leader who has this team and I expect will captain Salah:

    Fabianski
    Alonso, Mustafi, Tomkins
    Salah, Sterling, Eriksen, Tadic
    Kane, Jesus, Perez

    Best move for my team?

    A) Willian -> Arnie/Zaha
    B) Willian & Vardy -> Salah(c) & Ayew (-4)
    C) Willian & Vardy -> Mili & Auba (-4)
    D) Mawson & Vardy -> TAA & Firmino (-4)

    1. Ghost Gooner
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 12 months ago

      If he caps Salah and you do the same its curtains for you. I'd take out Silva for Zaha if he still in Spain. Try to figure out if Willian is starting and take him if he isn't an get Arnie/Ramsey. Differential capt is what's need in your case

      Barnes is injured so play Gross

      1. Jinswick
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 12 months ago

        I think you’re probably right, although I do have lots of differentials so it’s possible to still catch him with Salah(c).

        Who would you captain if going for a differential? Son is risky but he’s quite explosive at home

        1. Ghost Gooner
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 12 months ago

          Zaha as he will definitely start and WBA must be feeling gutted. Worried about Son minutes due to Spurs CL quali wrapped up

        2. FFSbet.com

        Have my doubts on Jesus starting so him Firmino maybe, won't leave enough cash to get Salah then. And maybe Alli to Sane for a hit

  19. emyoueffsee

    5 years, 12 months ago

    Thoughts on this for GW 38 ? I'm transferring Hazard out for Salah for me Ft.

    Dubravka
    Dummett Masuaku, Van der Hoorn
    Son Sterling Salah(TC) Eriksen Sane
    Rashford Kane

    McCarthy J.Ayew Cedric Morgan.

    1. Jinswick
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 12 months ago

      Decent. No hits required, but I’d definitely start J Ayew over Dummett

      1. emyoueffsee
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 12 months ago

        If only I could play a 2-5-3. At least one of my mids will be rotated no doubt so he will probably start anyway.

        1. Jinswick
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 12 months ago

          Ah yes, ooops!

          I think I’d start Ayew - nailed and on pens and they need to win big. Could easily be Sanchez up top with 2 of Martial, Lingard & Mata out wide.
