Dugout Discussion – Sunday – Part Two

The second instalment to Sunday’s slice of Premier League action brings Gameweek 3 to a close with matches at Anfield and Wembley Stadium.

The attention of Fantasy managers will be pulled in different directions, with key assets on show in both contests.

After the “failings” of Romelu Lukaku, Paul Pogba and Sergio Aguero on Saturday, we now look to see if Harry Kane can step up.

Kane is backed 741,000+ (16.1%) ahead of the “home” encounter with Burnley as he bids to end a run of two single point returns and score his first competitive career goal in August.

Should he succeed, it would doubtless have a major impact on rankings and transfer activity over the international break.

Equally, events at Anfield could have a major effect on our thinking leading up to Gameweek 4.

Liverpool boast an array of attacking talent, including the electric Sadio Mane, who lines up in tandem with the in-form Roberto Firmino and Mo Salah.

But Arsenal have their own riches on show, with all eyes on the performance of Alexis Sanchez.

He returns to the Gunners’ line-up as Alexandre Lacazette suprisingly drops to the bench as Danny Welbeck leads the attack in a Arsenal’s 3-4-2-1.

Like Kane, should Sanchez convince and return points this afternoon, the impact on the FPL market would be substantial.

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

    Thoughts on this wc team

    Gomes / Elliott

    Alonso / Jones / tripper / Stephens (mbemba)

    Eriksen / mkhitryan / dsilva (Carroll / chalobah)

    Morata / firmino / Lukaku

    0.3 in the bank

      Niiiice!

      No Kane?? September will hurt you surely 😉

    3. Ode

      Stephens --> Naughton

    Little ole Burnley.
    Unbeaten away to the top 2 from last season.

    😎

    1. BRFC1883
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 28 days ago

      4 points taken from last seasons top 2 sounds better.

      1. Captain Roberto
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 28 days ago

        hmm... "4 points away at last year's top two" sounds eeeeeven better than that

  4. Jape
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 28 days ago

    Which would be better long term?

    A) (433)
    Salah / Mhiki / Eriksen / Mooy
    Kane / Kaku / (Ayew)

    B) (343)
    Eriksen / Mhiki / Richarlson / Mooy
    Kane / Kaku / Chica

    1. Raymo
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 28 days ago

      B BUT with Salah instead of Eriksen

      1. Jape
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 28 days ago

        You reckon Salah will be a better prospect? Liverpool definitely have more goals in them.

  5. CloudSky

    No matter what Catalan press, LFC insist on Coutinho: they not negotiating, no meetings, no conference calls, no putting a price.Not selling

    Balague on Twitter.

    1. Scout Pics
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 28 days ago

      The opposite of what he says is generally true. Coutinho is gone.

  6. LǝgleSs e|even
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 28 days ago

    Is anyone here at all monitoring http://www.fplstatistics.com/ to decide if price falls will affect your transfer as a wise strategy?
    E.g. Folks whom shipped out KDB avoided a value decrease of 0.1 yesterday. Fraser on the other hand although over -100 target survived a drop.
    For today, a good example would be Kane, currently at -74.0, good fixtures over the next few weeks, but if transfers do keep coming at this rate in some point during the next 2 weeks may dip in price once or more.
    Given potential Kane transfer in considerations like Morata/Firmino price hikes can also be monitored before a kneejerk? Or that wildcard now and bring in before next GW for cheaper. There is no real rush to ship Kane at this stage since the target is still low?
    Your consensus?

      Watching it like a hawk, after the Batshuayi debacle.

      1. LǝgleSs e|even
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 28 days ago

        What happened with Batshuayi Doos?

        1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 28 days ago

          I hung on, for a day, in case of injury etc.

          Checked transfers out, everything. I was caught completely cold when he dropped.

          So it cost me another - 4 to get Firmino in, which was always my plan.

          🙁

          1. LǝgleSs e|even
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 28 days ago

            Good on you for getting Firmino in, paid off well today.

    2. banskt
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 28 days ago

      I lost money on Dummett. Now regretting.

    3. Harper_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 28 days ago

      At this stage I will only monitor price drops and rises if they prevent me from getting a player in. Otherwise I'm fine for waiting.

    4. Jack Burton
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 28 days ago

      Morata is the only one i would consider at the moment and the good thing about having kane is his value i can wait a few price drops and still get morata in

  7. Raymo
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 28 days ago

    Which would you pick?

    A: Foster & Kane
    B: De Gea & Firmino

    Which combo is likely to score more points this season?

  8. Feed tha Sheep
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 28 days ago

    Would you sell Kane Firmino or Jesus for Lukaku?

    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 28 days ago

      Jesus. Just my opinion.

      1. Lone Wolf FPL
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 28 days ago

        This

        1. banskt
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 28 days ago

          Well, given a choice I would ship out Kane and Firmino before Jesus. But, Lukaku is a must have,
          Kane because of the price drop, and Firmino because I can have Mane / Salah, while I can't have anyone else from City.

    2. banskt
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 28 days ago

      I would sell any of them for Lukaku.

  9. eazy

    1. Harry Ball Bag™⚽⚽…
      • 14 Years

      He gone on my wildcard

      1. Karan14
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 28 days ago

        I would actually sell him on wildcard and buy him back next Friday when he's cheaper.

    2. Syd.
      • 15 Years

      Hopefully quite a few so I can buy him at 12.3m

    3. ooooo

    10. arndff_
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 28 days ago

      What are you going to do, Andy?
      Would you get rid off him, if you already made a transfer?

    11. Begbie.
      • 10 Years

      His stats are incredible. He'll come good surely?

  12. banskt

    Why Jesus keeps dropping even after scoring?

    1. CloudSky
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 28 days ago

      Nobody wants to go mental waiting for team sheets every week.

      1. banskt
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 28 days ago

        Hmm. But Jesus is the only nailed on player, I assumed. Isn't he?

        1. CloudSky
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 28 days ago

          No one is nailed with Pep. Maybe Ederson but wouldnt put my hand on it.

    2. Syd.
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 28 days ago

      Pep

    3. Wild Rover
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 28 days ago

      He's actually rising

      1. Deulofail
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 28 days ago

        This

    4. SC not pearls before swine
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 28 days ago

      Inertia. He's got 10k transfers in this week and only 6k out, so he's not likely to drop, he's just not going to rise either.

  13. Drum8888
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 28 days ago

    A) Alli
    B) Mane

    1. Syd.

      B

  14. SuperMario
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 28 days ago

    Foster - Elliot
    Bertrand - Daniels - Suttner - Danilo - Long
    Eriksen - Tadic - Willian - Richie - Carroll
    Firmino - Lukaku - Kane

    1.0 in the bank. No need to panic wildcard this is there?

    Bertie, Daniels, Danilo, Tadic, Willian, Richie would all be at risk of moving on if I did..

  15. Jigger & Pony

    • 11 Years

    Hmmm. Just landed and saw the shocking results from the 4pm games. Who would you sell first?

    A. Lacazette
    B. Danilo

    1. Syd.
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 28 days ago

      B

      Keep A for GW4

      1. Jigger & Pony
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 28 days ago

        Can't believe Welbeck was picked above him

        1. Syd.

    Who are Ramsey owners getting for him? Anyone around the same price bracket?

    1. Ode
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 28 days ago

      Lanzini

  20. Markus
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 28 days ago

    Is it crazy to bring in mbemba for kolasinac for team value ahead of planned gw5 wildcard even though I think he will lose his starting position?

    1. Markus
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 28 days ago

      Also, anyone know if wenger said anything about dropping kola, still think he'd make an excellent winger (and fpl player) in a 343 if given the chance...

      1. Jack Burton
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 28 days ago

        I think wenger will have to play him next game

  21. The 12th Man
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 28 days ago

    Tadic+Kane > Salah/Mane + Firmino -4?

    1. Troopon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 28 days ago

      Looms good but I'm keeping faith in Kane

    2. A.T
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 28 days ago

      Probably not for a hit

  22. Troopon
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 28 days ago

    De Gea (Elliot)

    Kolasinac Stephens Britos ( 2 4.0m non playing def)

    De Bruyne Salah Pogba Mooy

    Lukaku Kane Rodriguez

    Do I wildcard, take a hit to sort out defence, or just replace Britos and hope Kolasinac starts next week. If I wildcard I would take out Rodriguez and De Bruyne in addition to sorting the defence.

  23. Karan14
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 28 days ago

    Stuck with Mounie & 0.5 itb.

    Was thinking of selling Salah to upgrade Mounie but now I don't think I can do that.

    1. arndff_
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 28 days ago

      Keep Salah for sure.

  24. Rinseboy
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 28 days ago

    so best Kola replacements?

    A - Naughton - seems a bargain and good fixtures
    B - Bavies - Before today was the planned move and good fixtures to come
    C - Jones - Not particularly attacking but good chance of CS but am I too late?
    D - Keep Kola and hope Wengers comes to his senses
    E - Another suggestion!

    1. samscottsam123
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 28 days ago

      I've gone with blind, 5.5 and mourinho seems to be favouring him over darmian/shaw, plus he takes his fair share of set pieces.

          decent side.
          not sure i'd want an Arsenal defender and not convinced by Mounie but even their GW4 fixtures aren't too bad.

      B. Have played it GW3 last two seasons myself. Top 5k both season but who knows, maybe I could have done better with a later WC1

    Was 90 per cent certain I was going to activate wild card tonight when Sanchez was announced in the Arsenal team.However today's results and more so performances have led me to think it's too early to go all in.More info needed on players and formations and the transfer window has yet to close of course.
    Also looking at my team it's obvious where I've lost momentum this week.
    Kane: 4
    Lukaku: 0
    Chicha: 1
    Don't think they'll disappoint like that again so I'm sticking.

    Is Joselu nailed?

      Doubt it. He's not very good.

    So if everyone is WC'ing... Would that actually mean there's a bigger chance Kane's price will not drop, but just stay 12.5?

    1. CloudSky

      It will almost deffo drop. Might only drop once though cause of WCs.

    2. Spag Bolasie
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 28 days ago

      His price will drop, but i doubt it'll be more than 0.1

          I'll take the drop as a man.... o/

    Willian + Kane -> Mane + Morata (-4)

    That would give me:

    Eriksen - Mane - Mkhi - Richarlison - TC
    Lukaku - Morata - Firmino
