Dugout Discussion – Saturday

Coming down off the “excitement” of a double Gameweek, the latest programme of fixtures get off to a rather inauspicious start. The batch of four afternoon kick-offs appear very light on Fantasy interest.

Nonetheless, many will doubtless be monitoring Bournemouth’s visit to the Stadium of Light, with Josh King the undoubted star asset on show. With three goals in his last four Gameweeks and with 11 in his last 13 starts overall, the 6.1 midfielder will be heavily backed for another return against Sunderland. King was brought in by more than 100,000 FPL managers ahead of today’s encounter.

Similary, Southampton’s performance against Hull City will also be of keen interest, with Fantasy managers preparing Saints investment ahead of their double Gameweek 36. Striker Manolo Gabbiadini topped our captain poll and has been acquired by 160,000+ FPL managers heading into today’s transfer deadline.

Elsewhere, Stoke City take on West Ham at the bet365.com, while West Brom host Leicester City, with little on show to pique the interest from a Fantasy perspective.

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

  5. Shifty

    Forster's a great keeper

    1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      He's so bad.

    2. WVA

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years

            Cause I need King to be better than CR7 today

    5. dark91
      • 8 Years

      C and later Barca Vs Espanyol at 19:45

    6. Skid Vicious
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Southampton Hull should be the better scouting experience.
      Real Madrid must be more thrilling though. They have to overtake Barça

    Nothing better than watching the live comment feed during matches and a player you own starts appearing repeatedly in CAPS

    1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Its better when their name comes up in Goals Scored in the fpl site 🙂

  28. Boomerang V
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Jonathan Calleri is an underared player he should have been given more opportunities. I guess he will score today.

    1. Numb
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Really??? He always seem awful when I see him.

    2. Somalion
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      He's been nothing but absolutely dreadful

    3. Boomerang V
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

  29. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

  30. Oven Glover
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    So. Who else benched Sanchez?

    1. Pierce34
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I did - it's the most expensive bench I've ever had.

    2. borat
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      i too benched him. Could be right call. He was looking lacklustre past couple of weeks. If not for 2dgw noone would have bought him
