Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Sunday

After United and Everton got Sunday’s events underway earlier, we now have three more matches to focus on before another international break is thrust upon us. First up, the league’s last two unbeaten teams go head-to-head at the Bridge, as Chelsea take on Arsenal in one of a couple of 2.05pm kick-offs.

All eyes will be on Cesc Fabregas as he plays host to his former club but from a Fantasy perspective, we’ll be looking for Diego Costa to continue a record that has seen him score in every home appearance so far. Danny Welbeck will also be on many a radar as the Gunners prepare for an outstanding run of fixtures from Gameweek 8 onwards.

Elsewhere, Mauricio Pochettino faces a tough task to derail the Southampton bandwagon as his former club roll up to the Lane. Spurs have failed to score in each of their last two home matches and face the top-flight’s meanest backline – the likes of Ryan Bertrand, Dusan Tadic and Graziano Pelle all carry strong form into this one and have the upcoming fixtures to flourish further.

Later in the day, The Hammers welcome QPR to Upton Park in the final match of the Gameweek. Big Sam’s side have impressed in the final third in recent weeks, with Stewart Downing’s new central role and Diafra Sakho’s clinical finishing making them the standout options for the hosts right now.

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

      Sounds really silly. It does take away selection dilemmas though, assuming you have a strong front 3 as well.

        Welbz costa and kun

    Hello guys. What would you with this lot. Don't know how would I fit ADM in. No reason to wildcard I assume?

    Begovic
    PvA, Bertrand, Naylor
    Fabregas, Tadic, Sterling, Siggy
    Pelle, Aguero, Costa

        It really is. Kept saying to myself last night, I must do it, if I forget I must remember in the morning.

        Need to set an alarm or something!

    Was lucky enough to be at the game on the way back now
    Welbeck was POOR, lacked creativity, touch and composure

    Saw Pelle 2 weeks ago, now he he is quality ! oh and HOT 😉 xx

    Can't see welbeck getting many goals

      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      🙄 obviously weren't watching midweek

      1. The Generalator
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I was at that game too. the Turks were rubbish, anyone could have got those goals

  5. VougieDipond
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    I like Alex Song. Arsenal could of done worse than get him back

    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Well, they can't have him now. He is mine, all mine!!! 😉

      1. amol
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        On loan 😉

      2. VougieDipond
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        have tWHM got an option to keep him?

        1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Yes. 🙂

          1. VougieDipond
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            would be getting him tied up asap

    2. Somalion
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Should never have gotten rid of him.

    3. The Light Knight
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Would fit in well with their lack of mental fortitude

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

    Krul (4.0)
    Clyne Naylor Wisdom (Hutton Duff)
    ADM Siggy Sterling Fab (Chadli)
    Costa Aguero Pelle

    Is Chadli a waste in this team? Thinking of selling to upgrade defence

    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    ADM on Sundays - 12.7ppg

    ADM otherwise - 2.5ppg

    😀

    1. Qubit
      • 15 Years

      I find that stat slightly worrying to be honest

        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Tiny sample size to be fair. I'm only kidding! 😛

    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      He is an arse, I'm afraid.

  9. Mane Of Steel
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Would having hazard, fab, and costa be a bad idea? Silva--> Hazard?

  10. Plagued by indecision
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Only got Ulloa in this week but is it already time to get rid? £3.3m in the bank, 1 FT.

    Krul / Foster
    Terry / Bertrand / Hutton / Moore / C.Davies
    Fabregas / Sterling / Sigurdsson / Di Maria / Albrighton
    Costa / Pelle / Ulloa

    Thinking Ulloa > Welbeck for his nice run. Any other compelling moves?

    1. The Generalator
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      not sure people got him anyway, is he really going to score game in game out?? nope

    2. The Generalator
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      don't get Welbeck, saw him today he was rubbish

      1. NissA
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        He is rubbish though, so it's to be expected.

      2. Cpt Crunch Scott talent

    Gents, 1.4M and a twitchy-WC in the bank.

    Krul | Elliot
    Baines | Bertrand | van Aanholt | Coloccini | Moore
    Hazard | Ramsey | Sterling | Sigurdsson | Marney
    Costa | Lukaku | Pelle

    Think I should hit the WC?

    If not, I am on the verge of a -8 to do Ramsey + Lukaku + Pelle --> Tadic + Aguero + Welbeck. Alternative is no hit, but try to "cover" Aguero with Ramsey --> Silva.

    Please help!

    1. NissA
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Do a -8. Nothing wrong with that at all

    To rephrase. I am desperate for a Southampton mid. Their next 5 are:
    SUN STO hul LEI avl

    My mid is ADM Fab Siggy Sterling dead
    Who to go from my team. There was some objection to Tadic but I see him as a good option.

    1. Captain Shirokov
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      no one

  20. Declan
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Redknapp ➡ Pulis

    1. Reedy
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

    2. Calm
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Haha, please let this happen so Ferdinand becomes a viable option

  21. Galfadez
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    I could do Falcao Fab Duff to Aguero Chadlii Baines for -4. Is that crazy?

  22. gillih90
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Mannone-Schmeichel
    Ivanovic-Clyne-Chambers-Duff-Wisdom
    Sterling-DMaria-Sigurdsson-Silva-Fabregas
    Costa-Ulloa-Pelle

    I got 2 FT.

    A) Hold, keep for possible injuries during internationals
    B) Get Wellbeck in
    C) Sterling&Chambers out, upgrade defence

    1. AlCapwnUK
      • 10 Years

  28. galway77
    • 10 Years

    1. Tommytour
      • 13 Years
