Dugout Discussion – Saturday

With two evening games to come, the afternoon’s proceedings are limited to just a quartet of matches.

From a Fantasy perspective, potential returns will be expected from Burnley’s clash with Leicester City along with Brighton’s visit to rivals Crystal Palace.

The Turf Moor clash finds two Double Gameweek teams collide, splitting the allegiance of Fantasy managers.

Burnley’s defence has just one clean sheet from 11 matches, with their last shut-out at home arriving back in Gameweek 18. Nevertheless, their defence has attracted sizeable investment ahead of today’s deadline with over 266,000 swooping for a member of today’s back five, with budget pick Kevin Long the most popular, having claimed 72,000+ new owners.

For the Foxes, the key assets are more obvious with Riyad Mahrez and Jamie Vardy boasting a combined ownership of over 2.4 million.

The latter heads into today’s game as the second most signed player of Gameweek 34, recruiting 246,000+ managers following a run of three goals in successive matches and seven in nine Gameweeks. Vardy is also backed by 225,000+ (4.0%) with the captaincy.

Points from the Selhurst Park encounter appears less likely, though both Palace and Brighton fought out a goalless draw in the reverse fixture and that’s a result which would certainly pacify recent investors in the Seagulls’ defence. Some 34,000 managers signed one of Brighton’s back five for Gameweek 34.

Glenn Murray and Pascal Gross also remain well backed for Gameweek 34, despite a run of three successive blanks for the pair. That attacking duo are the most signed Brighton players heading into today’s deadline, claiming a combined 78,000 new investors.

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

    Locadia sounds like one of those new medications where the side effects include bleeding out of the eye, interminable flatulence, and hallucinations.

        Locadia International does sound very plausible as an airport 🙂

    To be fair, we couldn’t really have foreseen that long would score though, so

    Hennessey- 3 shots on goal, 2 goals...Oh well..

    1. ILOVEBAPS

  12. CloudSky

    So many goals all around and the only thing I've gotten are - points for 2 goals conceded. Can we reset this DGW and start again?

    1. Ha.
      • 8 Years

      Yes

        Yeah. All that build up pretty much wiped out in the first 30 at Selhurst Park

        Cannot be asked no more

    a Quick question on the Free Hit Gents.

    My squad Value is 103m exact once i remove all my players.

    A) does my original team Value keep increasing/decreasing as normal based on price change even if i remove them?

    1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 6 Years

      That will stay intact for gw36

    1. Viper

    4. TallestJohn
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Nah, don't think he's got anything to play for. They need to build Llorente's confidence.

    5. Rik Waller

  17. Viper

    If Murray hadn't got a touch, would it have been a Gross assist?

    1. Bubz
      • 10 Years

      Yes

    2. _Ninja_

        Yeah ir else they both need to be involved in multiple goals.
        Some else from LEI to score of course 🙂

    Having the other Burnley defender AND the other Burnley forward is not very enjoyable so far.
