Dugout Discussion

Dugout Discussion – Southampton vs Man City

Saturday’s events end at St Mary’s with Manchester City the visitors to Southampton.

From a Fantasy perspective, it will be the Saints under scrutiny given that they offer us a pair of double Gameweeks to come.

Manolo Gabbiadini’s display will be the main focus with the Italian striker making his return from a groin problem after missing the last three Gameweek outings. Gabbiadini has scored four goals in his first three outings prior to the setback at Spurs in Gameweek 29.

The likes of Dusan Tadic and Nathan Redmond will also be assessed, while Maya Yoshida and Jack Stephens are also set to be key transfer targets in the coming weeks ahead of the first double-header in Gameweek 36.

For City, Sergio Aguero goes into this evening’s contest backed by 417,000 (9.4%) with the armband having scored in his last four Gameweek starts. John Stones misses out the visitors with Pep Guardiola confirming an injury pre-match.

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

    Kane a must now that he's back?

    Currently have Davies, Alli and Eriksen, so one of them off them gtg. Could do Davies for Gibson, but got Valdes for Boro defence and would need another transfer to free up Kane funds.

    Eriksen to de Roon perhaps best option and get him back in place off Coutinho next week?

      Hasn't got the best fixtures from here onwards.

          Kane you mean?

            I got Valdes Pickford
            Davies Valencia Holgate Stephens Robertson
            Eriksen Sane Alli Zaha Coutinho
            Ibra kaku Origi

            Feel like Kane up front will be clinical to add to Ibra and Kaku, but what you reckon. ML rival hasn't got him so would be differential too, might bring him in soon tho i feel.

        Could argue that Kane is fixture proof

    Not too bothered as the world and his wife have lukaku but can anyone explain why he lost his bonus? As in what made him lose bps?

  5. greghammer95

    I still maintain after today that Kane isn't essential.

    1. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Who cares what you maintain.

      Let me guess, you don't have Kane

      1. greghammer95
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Nope but believe he can be covered by a couple of their midfielders. Alli and son doing it for me today.

    Parisse around? I really hope you ended up taking my advice. 😎

    1. Pariße
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Yes I am and I was convinced to play Alonso and Holgate over him after further questioning who to play. Serves me well for not listening to one of the best advices here 🙁

    2. Pariße
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      ...and you can see how wrong it went for me, Capoue and Holebas both with 8 points, while Zaha cost me -2.

      1. Camp No No
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Sorry for super late reply, Parisse. Damn, that really must hurt. No chance of getting them from the bench?

        *I just had to brag with that post, because it had a few other advices that went correct too: I also advised that IF you buy Palace, go for Benteke or Cabaye instead of Zaha. 😎 Seldom does it feel so fine to check the scoresheet of a 2-2 ending match in which I had no players of my own.

  7. Bubz
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Navas has outdone himself there

  8. 1zverGGadeM
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Is it worth to do Kun>Kane + Fer>Townsend for -4?

  9. HD7
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Kaku or Ibra to score more next GW? 🙂

    1. andymck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Ibra surely

  10. Feloh

    which boro midfielder do we get?

    1. The Head-Ake
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      None. De Roon but you wouldn't play him anyways so none

    2. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      None.

    3. Camp No No
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      My choice of M'brough midfielder is none. You make your pick.

        Arnie and Shaqiri have a habit of exploding out of nowhere, and then blanking when people get them in.

        1. Backup Dancer
          • 9 Years
