Dugout Discussion – Saturday

Saturday continues with five afternoon kick-offs, as an array of Gameweek 31 assets audition for our squads.

Three of the eight teams involved next weekend are at home today, with Everton and Huddersfield Town perhaps under the main focus.

At Goodison Park, Fantasy managers will be assessing the merits of Theo Walcott and Gylfi Sigurdsson, along with full-backs Seamus Coleman and Leighton Baines. All four start for the Toffees against Brighton, as they bid to make our line-ups for a Gameweek 31 visit to Stoke City.

But the Seagulls arrive on Merseyside in outstanding form, having fired more shots than any other team over the last four Gameweeks and with Glenn Murray – the fourth most signed player before today’s deadline – boasting five goals in as many matches.

Meanwhile, Huddersfield Town’s options will also be under scrutiny.

Steve Mounie, Rajiv van la Para and Alex Pritchard are among the names to be considered as the Terriers host Swansea City at the John Smiths Stadium today.

West Brom’s squad is certainly more off the radar, with our expectations perhaps limited to their threat at set-pieces. Nonetheless, Alan Pardew’s side have one more opportunity to impress before Gameweek 31 when they take on Leicester City at The Hawthorns.

Elsewhere, Newcastle host Southampton and West Ham United take on Burnley, with Marko Arnautovic perhaps the most notable asset on show over those two encounters.

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

        Was a calf. Didn't look serious, though Everton won't take risks for an away game and after today's win.

    Imagine if baines had taken that pen & scored....andy would be in dreamland

    1. eazy
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Was hoping for that

      1. Desperately Seeking Dusan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        This. Would have been an amazing reward for a bold move from Andy!

  4. Zilla
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    I should have got Mahrez instead of Arnie 🙁

  5. Fantasy Gold
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Did Walcott get injured?

    1. eazy
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Need this information as well, anyone watched it?

    2. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Yes he did.

    3. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Yes. Looks like a hammy.

    4. Mark
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      See above. Felt his calf.

    5. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Feel for those who got him in but I think I told somebody on here today to wait until next week in case of injury given his record.

      That said I was thinking of getting him in for Son because I was worried about a Son start. Moyes forced me into an Adrían transfer out to Lossl... one for the rough with the smooth if Son starts.

    Mane VS Firmino.
    Mane if chasing?

    1. d3bug
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Definitely

    2. JohnnyMagrinho
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Depends on your other attackers.

        Firmino is excellent value for money up front. I'd say Vardy is also a good shout for that price.

        If you have Kane and Aguero then it's less of an issue I suppose.

        I think Mané is massively overlooked - starting to score points on a regular basis.

      • IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Get both

        1. The White Pele
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          have Salah & VVD

          1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
            • 6 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            Ur choice. Both equally likely to get points

            1. The White Pele
              • 6 Years
              6 years, 1 month ago

              cheers

      Any chance Walcott gets that goal ?

      Did he touch it

      1. HonestBlatter
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        FPL towers will check

    4. JohnnyMagrinho
        6 years, 1 month ago

        And that's why you shouldn't go for Mounie.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          It's good to see him scoring somewhere.

        2. Revival
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          finally found his level

      • Dr. DOOM
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Mahrez 2 bonus?

        1. Bubz
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Maybe 3. Very close

        2. JohnnyMagrinho
            6 years, 1 month ago

            Looking like 3 with Iheanacho

        3. Delph & Safety
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Schindler narrowly missing out on bonus.

          Let’s hope it changes.

          1. WVA
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            How!? Who is getting them?

        4. Zilla
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Tosun with 2 goals in 2 games, just in time before the BGW hmmm

        5. Bubz
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Ah nice Pickford got a save point

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

          Maguire, Walcott and Mkhykitarian. So many bad transfers lately.

        7. Rainer
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Mahrez might only end up with 1 BAP.

          1. Leaf
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            Winning goal bonus will help

            1. Rainer
              • 7 Years
              6 years, 1 month ago

              Being tackled doesn't.

          2. d3bug
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            That's good. ML leader has him captain

            • 11 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

          5. JohnnyMagrinho
              6 years, 1 month ago

              On 3 with Iheanacho

          6. Shultan

            Last week i sold son
            This week i sold sterling to walcott & he gets injured
            Sterling brace confirmed

          7. sunzip14
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            21points from 7 before bps. Goes to check the top 10k average score=18, post bps. Doesn't look as bad as I thought!

            1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
              • 8 Years
              6 years, 1 month ago

              You've an extra player played than average. A lot will depend on how Aguero and particularly Kane do.

              1. sunzip14
                • 7 Years
                6 years, 1 month ago

                yeah, a Kane capper myself. My score post bps will be 24 from 7 so that extra player point nullifies in a way. So, just about average for now. Better than what I thought I was, is my point 😀

            2. HonestBlatter
              • 13 Years
              6 years, 1 month ago

              24 with 8...Kane, Alonso, Courtois, Shaq left

          8. Revival
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

            Over to Alonso, Hazard and Kane (C) to save my gameweek then

          9. Bubz
            • 10 Years
