Dugout Discussion – Swansea vs Newcastle

After Burnley’s Chris Wood condemned Crystal Palace to a fourth successive loss, we turn to the Liberty Stadium in Sunday’s second, and final, fixture at 4pm.

Having grabbed their first win of the season in the previous round of fixtures, Swansea now have the chance to play their way into our plans ahead of an outstanding upcoming home schedule.

From Gameweek 6 onwards, Paul Clement’s side entertain Watford, Huddersfield, Leicester, Brighton, Bournemouth and West Brom in their subsequent six matches at the Liberty.

With that in mind, Tammy Abraham- at just 5.5 – has the chance to emerge as a valid option for our three-man frontlines.

After opening his account for the season at Selhurst Park, the on-loan striker grabbed a goal and assist for England U21s over the recent international break. He’s partnered by Jordan Ayew, with Wilfried Bony on the hosts’ bench.

The Swans’ new arrival Renato Sanches is fast-tracked into the starting XI after joining on loan from Bayern Munich on transfer deadline day. Over 116,000 Fantasy Premier League managers acquired the Portuguese international ahead of Gameweek 4.

Similar to their hosts, Newcastle are also braced for a strong run of matches in front of their own fans – five of their next six home matches sees Stoke, Palace, Bournemouth, Watford and Leicester visit St James’ Park.

New boy Joselu leads the line again after scoring on his first start in the 3-0 win over West Ham last time around.

At 5.5, he could rival Abraham in the budget bracket up front, though Christian Atsu’s prospects in midfield are dealt a blow as he drops to the visitors’ bench.

    2FT and 0.5ITB - which moves would you consider here ? Assuming Chica scores something I would keep him and maybe just bring Salah or would you consider Morata for Chica and someone like Ramsey in mid??

    Lukaku -> Kane. Views?

    1. stat
        7 years, 12 days ago

        Worth if it you look at their fixtures IMO. But I'm still going with both.

      • Poison Apple
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 12 days ago

        i would if you cant afford both. both stats and fixs with hurrikane

    2. stat
        7 years, 12 days ago

        Foster - Elliot
        Bertrand - Kola - Dann - Mee - Long
        Richarlison - Mkhi - Eriksen - Ritchie - Carroll
        Firmino - Kane - Lukaku

        2 FT
        Dann -> Clark? Even though Dann plays SOU (H) next week if I wait an extra week to get rid of Dann I essentially lose a FT.

      • Poison Apple
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years

        Bottomed. Advice pls.

        A. Pogba Salah Welbeck
        B. Eriksen Ramsey Firmino

        Has Kane and Mkhi, no lukaku or Pool

      • Bruno Bruno!!
        • 9 Years

        Is Trippier to Bavies too much of a sideways transfer, only concerned that Trippier may loose his place to Aurier

        Why a lot of people are bringing Salah in for Mané when he has only played 2 full games out of 4 ? Seems like a waste of money. :/

        1. KUNingas
          • 8 Years

          Salah will be just fine. Don't forget he was away on duty - loads of players seem to have been rested as a result of that - Klopp didn't play Lovren and Gomez for that reason. No surprise to see him sacrificed at City in a way - perhaps earlier than expected.

          Salah surely has to start the next two with Mane out and he's getting chances at the rate of a striker. He just has to tuck more of them away.

          And before you say it, Mane missing won't stop Liverpool creating chances based on last season's data.

          Risky doing transfers before midweek games
          Cool down

        What is better...

        A) Foster + Dawson + Yoshida + Long + Lukaku + Chicharito
        B) Krul + Bavies + Ward + Gamez + Jesus + Morata

        B is Wildcard.

          Then save your wildcard.

        de Gea, Elliot
        Bellerin, Trippier, Stephens, Pva*, Mbemba
        Eriksen, Willian*, Redmond, Carroll, Cork
        Kane, Lukaku, Firmino
        0.1 itb, 2 FT

        PvA + Willian ➡ Alonso + Gross? Have exact cash.

        Literally no budget midfield options appeal to me.

        But I need a Willian downgrade

          Just get 2 4.5s then put money into 4th defender

          It is C or E , but I can't decide which one I want

          1. Sol
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 12 days ago

            I'm thinking C but also thinking its Jese's turn to score lol

          E for me I think. Gives me a player in the friday game, and 0.1 less than C 🙂

        3. GS456
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 12 days ago

          Same dilemma myself.

          Haven't considered Groß and I have jesè. I'd go choopo out of them, but I don't want double stoke attack.

        4. Sol
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 12 days ago

          Cheers all might go with C and save 0.5 to get Bavies in .

          Is it worth spending an extra 0.1m to bring in Clark rather than Lejeune?
