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.

    When you play your WC does it show your rivals 1 GW transfer? 0? Or what..?

    1. dark91

      0 if he activated it without making any transfers
      Otherwise it shows the number of transfers he made before activating the WC

        Went back to zero after I pressed mine.

      If you make transfers the hit WC just before deadline it'll show the number to transfers.

        So if you wanted to play coy you could make 1 GW transfer. Confirm. Then activate on your next transfer and it will have stayed at 1 the whole week? Making them think you've played it conservative with 1 FT.. correct?

    Vardy never score a easier goal. What a mess up in defence.

    Come onnn Hull and Brom, get yourselves cleanies! I want a clean sweep of clean sheets again and Maguire bonus with or without a brace

    Gabbiadini looks like Rafi from The League

    1. Dušan Citizen

      He looks like a drug dealer from the hood.

    Vardy had to go and spoil it

  15. TheBusDriver

    Pickford racking up the saves and will probably get a CS. Will definitely regret benching him. I hate this game.

      Hahaha same feeling here.
      I played caballero instead fresh from WC.

      Initial idea was to get cech in for the dgw and bench him for pickford.

      Decided on caballero as I didn't fancy arsenal defense until gw37

    Is everyone hanging onto Alli, Eriksen and Kane for this weeks WC?

    1. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Tough one, getting rid of one of All/Eriksen makes team way more balanced. Still undecided though.

    2. Skid Vicious
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      I sacrificed alli for hazard
      And went Vardy over lukaku

        whats your front line?

    Calleri just tried a ribena

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

      Which flavor?

      1. Turd
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Toothkind. Carton. Straw got stuck inside. Calleri got frustrated and it all got a bit messy.

  18. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️

    Jakupovic, Maguire and Stephens benched. Nice.

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      It's only half time. They could all concede in second half.

    Embarrassing that Saints try and put on a good effort vs Chelsea yet at home in front of their fans barely try. Wish I could have got Kane without a hit instead 🙁

    At least I chose Vardy in my hotshot jackpot. My wildcard, however...

    The Pulís '40-pointer' theory in full flow.

    Sell all assets when Pulis hits 40 points.

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years

      They won Arsenal 3-1 after they reached 40 points.
