The Dugout Discussion – Saturday

Saturday moves on to present us with a healthy batch of five afternoon kick-offs, with the top two owned Fantasy Premier League assets in action.

Both Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Sergio Aguero are both backed by 18% of the captaincy share in Gameweek 10 – the pair are in dire need of a reversal of fortunes.

Ibrahimovic takes on Burnley at Old Trafford without a goal in five Gameweeks, having shed almost a million owners since his last strike.

Aguero’s struggles aren’t as prolonged but, nonetheless, there are real concerns on the value he now offers. He travels to an unforgiving Hawthorns having notched just two points over his last three Gameweeks.

Elsewhere, Spurs host champions Leicester City at White Hart Lane and Middlesbrough take on Bournemouth at the Riverside.

Finally, there is a good deal of Fantasy interest focused on Vicarage Road as Watford welcome a struggling Hull City. Much is expected of Troy Deeney, Etienne Capoue and Jose Holebas in that clash.

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

    Thoughts on this:
    Son & Sterling -> Allen & Hazard
    Or keep one of these and get rid of Walcott? (Sky FF)
    Cheers

    Capoue -> Gundogan?

    I haven't seen him play. Was this week a fluke or is he going to get a decent amount of goals/assists in Pep's system?

      Both of his goals were scored because WBA were stretched towards the end. Would want to see more of him before buying. Pretty sure he ain't 4.5.

    Went to the Hawthorns today on the off chance, never been and it's near my house.

    Pleasure to watch City stroke the ball around and see Aguero up close, especially for his second which was near where I sat.

    WBA were so passive in the first half though. Once they went direct and aggressive they looked like scoring.
