Dugout Discussion

Dugout Discussion – Saturday

An emphatic victory for Manchester City provides modest returns from their key Fantasy assets, sending us into the afternoon kick-offs scratching around for early points. With just four matches on the agenda, we have slim pickings available.

Bournemouth’s Josh King’s looks the most likely – he faces up to a Stoke City defence who boast just a single clean sheet from their last seven, having scored 12 goals in his previous 14 Gameweeks. Over 89,000 Fantasy Premier League managers have drafted in King ahead of this one, boosting his ownership to 891,000+ (19.8%).

Elsewhere, Hull City face relegated Sunderland at the KCOM Stadium with Eldin Jakupovic and Harry Maguire the major assets on show, while Burnley host West Brom at Turf Moor, with Tom Heaton’s 19.5% ownership surely expecting a clean sheet return.

Finally, Leicester City entertain Watford at the King Power Stadium, with Jamie Vardy seeking to maintain form that has brought him returns in eight of his last nine Gameweeks.

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

    This really is a useless set of games.

      It's great if you have your team full of defenders that currently play

    I feel a King blank coming on. Not imagined that before...
    Hope I'm wrong. I've more points on my bench than on the pitch at the moment.

      I finally got King in this week on my WC (far too late I know), be typical if he fails to produce now...still plenty of time though

    That Arter challenge on Allen was a disgrace. Leg breaker all day long, lucky Joe wasn't badly hurt and a only a yellow card further confirms how badly a video ref is needed to review these decisions.

      Video ref was tried yesterday in MLS...

    Remember the days when all KOs were at 3pm on a Saturday (maybe give or take 1 or 2)?

    Now with early KOs, Friday, Sunday and Monday night football and TV companies running the show we're guaranteed mediocre slurry on lower-mid and bottom teams at the most holy of times of the week.

    RIP EPL

    Everyone stop badmouthing these games.

    They should relegate all teams below Everton this season......

    10 points between 8th and 17th sums up just what is wrong with the premier league

    1. Sims
      • 7 Years

      And what is that? Would make for an exciting relegation battle if the last 2 weren't so hopeless

        *agrees with Sims*

    Looks like Cameron's goal will be changed to an own goal.

    1. Syd.

      Merson said it was a King OG then he said it was a Mussa OG

      This. All the teams seem so lifeless. Even worse now in the latter stages.
