Dugout Discussion

Dugout Discussion – Saturday

After Man City edged past Leicester at the Etihad, we now focus our attentions on a trio of 3pm encounters.

Bournemouth’s in-form Josh King collides with a Burnley defence that’s conceded at least twice in three of their last four league matches.

Owned by 19% of FPL managers, the Norwegian has racked up 11 goals and a pair of assists in the previous 13 Gameweeks to climb into eighth spot in the midfield standings.

Sunderland play the first match of their Double Gameweek 37 as Swansea City make their way to Wearside.

In what may well be his final home outing for the Black Cats, Jermain Defoe has been captained by just over 44,000 FPL managers, with a midweek trip to the Emirates also on his agenda.

With their survival on the line, Gylfi Sigurdsson and Fernando Llorente will be vital for the Swans today.

Still owned by 10% of FPL managers, the Icelandic international has a goal and assist in his previous three, while Llorente was snapped up by almost 44,000 new owners after netting against Stoke and Everton over the same period.

Southampton also get the first of their Double Gameweek 37 matches underway. Jack Stephens owners are left disappointed as he drops to the bench, while Manolo Gabbiadini misses out altogether as Claude Puel attempts to improve a run that has seen the Saints fail to score in four of their last five league outings.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Once again proof that TV not the be all and end all.
    Choice between Redmond and Tadic for me , went Tadic with funds available,
    Lower TVs forced in to Redmond .
    GW not over but yeah , lets see.

      Those with good TV's could double up on Chelsea and Arsenal defence instead of having guff like pickford, stphens and holgate.

      Works both ways.

      1. Debauchy
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah sure does .
        But just take a look at top ten in OR , think only one has a higher than norm TV
        Just saying it's not the be all and end all.
        Certainly an advantage for those that follow the dour Triggerlips approach though

    Ibra had a goal bonus. No wonder he kept shooting when he should have passed it.

    1. Brap.
      • 7 Years

      Every player in professional football has a goal bonus

      Albeit not as large

    Who's your biggest personal troll? Redmond here.

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

      Siggy. Got him in around December. Probably got 2 assists. He dried up, kept him til February cause 'patience'. Minute I sold, he goes back on a run of 5 games of points.

      ...Got him in again. Rinse and repeat.
