Dugout Discussion – Saturday

Coming down off the “excitement” of a double Gameweek, the latest programme of fixtures get off to a rather inauspicious start. The batch of four afternoon kick-offs appear very light on Fantasy interest.

Nonetheless, many will doubtless be monitoring Bournemouth’s visit to the Stadium of Light, with Josh King the undoubted star asset on show. With three goals in his last four Gameweeks and with 11 in his last 13 starts overall, the 6.1 midfielder will be heavily backed for another return against Sunderland. King was brought in by more than 100,000 FPL managers ahead of today’s encounter.

Similary, Southampton’s performance against Hull City will also be of keen interest, with Fantasy managers preparing Saints investment ahead of their double Gameweek 36. Striker Manolo Gabbiadini topped our captain poll and has been acquired by 160,000+ FPL managers heading into today’s transfer deadline.

Elsewhere, Stoke City take on West Ham at the bet365.com, while West Brom host Leicester City, with little on show to pique the interest from a Fantasy perspective.

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

    I'm hoping for two no shows (Valencia and Firmino) to get Stephens and Maguire off the pine.

    1. Rainer
      • 8 Years

      Think Valencia will play. No chance with Bobby.

      1. fedolefan

        No chance with Bobby means he will definitely play, no? Just not been following news this week.

        1. Rainer
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Bobby will play, yes.

    I need that leicester clean sheet gone. Rival gets Fuchs off the bench for Pieters

    1. denial
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Fuchs easily the worst transfer I've made this season.

    2. Pep says
      • 9 Years

      Pieters woulda cleaned anyway so he deserves it tbf

      1. Hybrid.power
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        He deserves nothing!

  11. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    There will be goals in the last 20 minutes.

  12. Pep says
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    PVA starts is the best new I've got since Gabbi (my rival's captain got subbed off on 57mins and Nyom came off after 59. Valencia, Stones, Sakho and Pieters are his other defenders.. LOL

  13. makaveli123

    Concede a f-ing goal, Pickford.

    1. Fred54

    1. Rainer
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      King wont be off them in current form.

    2. Pep says
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      So what if he's not on pens. He's the lone striker, get a grip man!!

    Played this game for the last 3 seasons, never missed a deadline... until this week.
    Daniels & Sterling on the bench, Negrado captain 🙂
    Feel free to mock.

    1. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      It was a late deadline as well?

      Any mitigating circumstances?

      1. Clump
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Reporting runner beans, does that count? 🙂

      Sometimes a late deadline means you take the eye off the ball .....

      Hopefully the next two early deadlines will throw any of the casuals still doing well 😀

    Southampton today are the worst passing team I've watched this season.

    Truly awful stuff.

  19. Mark-O
    • 9 Years

    Southampton players = booby traps

  20. Fred54

    1. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I blame that guy who 'jokingly' said Kane was gonna be the fist goal scorer for today...

      1. tm245
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

  24. Rainer
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Stanislas will slow down King's returns, too greedy himself.

    King and Afobe worked great together, could be time to move on 🙁

  25. Feloh

    I've missed all of the football far... thank goodness. Did Gabbi look any good at least? Any chances?

    1. CloudSky
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Nope. Soton as a team been poor.

    Kane Vardy Jesus the way to go in WC.

    1. the snazzy viking
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Too expensive if you want Hazard, Sanchez and Alli/Eriksen in midfield

  29. Ravager
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Don't think I've had a solid third striker since December.
