Dugout Discussion – Saturday

After Raheem Sterling’s late, late winner earned Man City the points at Bournemouth, Saturday afternoon treats us to a quartet of 3pm encounters.

All eyes turn to St James’ Park as Javier Hernandez’s 511,000+ new owners look for the Mexican to maintain his scoring form.

The most transferred in player for Gameweek 3, the Hammers’ summer signing netted twice in last week’s loss at Southampton and is now braced for a very favourable run of fixtures, with clashes against Huddersfield, West Brom and Swansea between now and Gameweek 7.

A home encounter with Brighton also affords Watford’s man of the moment Richarlison the chance to get among the points again.

The young Brazilian has bagged a goal and assist already and was drafted in by 183,000 FPL managers after serving up 11 points away to Bournemouth last weekend.

Crystal Palace and Swansea go head-to-head at Selhurst Park as both go in search of their first goal of the season.

The Eagles’ Christian Benteke is the man most likely to do the damage – he’s been captained by 59,000 FPL managers against a side that ranked bottom for shots conceded inside the box across the first two Gameweeks.

Huddersfield budget pair Aaron Mooy and Steve Mounie will look to justify their early-season bandwagons as Southampton visit the John Smith’s Stadium.

Over 286,000 have drafted in the former on the back of his goal and assist over the first two Gameweeks.

David Wagner’s men may struggle to rack up a third straight shutout, though – Southampton were placed inside the top three for both shots and efforts inside the box in the opening two rounds of matches.

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

      I actually think that's a lovely balanced team, no Kane (should) be a worry? No Kane has worked for people so far though. I'm seering clear of Man City assets, too much rotation

    Should i WC?

    1. Jimmy Boy

      Don't wildcard, your main concern for now should be getting rid of Danilo

      1. sentz05
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        and KDB

    2. Slip it like Stevie
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      I think you should transfer danilo and KDB out. Good replacements should be either A) Eriksen and Bavies or B) Mkhi and Alonso. Maybe take a -8 to get one of the saints attackers out.

    Fosu Mensah almost had a massive blunder.

  12. El-Kloppico

    WHM are so rubbish.. Bilic the 1st manager to get sacked imo.

    1. twoplustwo
      • 9 Years

      Yeah they're happy with those signings too...

    Ritchie --> Atsu
    KDB --> Sanchez

    What a goal from Gary Hooper...

  15. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 14 Years

    Atsu needs 55k NTI to rise. As of 15:30 he was on -1.7k NTI for today. Be interesting to see how that changes now

    1. Desperately Seeking Dusan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      I'll confess ignorance and idiocy, how do you get to 55k NTI to rise?

  16. Sánchez

    Haaa. Just realised my main rival benched Daniels

  17. KAPO KANE

    Feeling some decent points from Ritchie today

  18. thorvaldsson
    • 11 Years

    Britos Chicharito and Aguero...on a Wildcard this is all

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Britos, how

      1. Sterling is £11Mill..…
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Knockhaert was mugging him off, so cue a ridiculous challenge

      2. thorvaldsson
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        He was on forms why not

  19. Valar(Keith)
    • 14 Years

    Swapped my 2 Newcastle attackers(Atsu and Ritchie) for Westham attackers(Antonio and his chicha) this week 😎

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      2 MID for 1MId and 1ST?
      how do you do that?

      1. Valar(Keith)
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        WC

  20. Hect.OR 98th
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Glad I didn't WC. My team looks pretty good for GW4. Looks like the WC can stay on the shelf a little longer.

    I just can't think of 11 players I really want, let alone 15. Other than Man Utd, Eriksen and Alonso there don't seem to be any really solid positive trends yet.

    Just finished celebrating Atsu's assist.

    It still baffles me why I picked Hart.

    1. twoplustwo
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      In my draft team

    2. IRBOX ⚽

  25. Rainer
    • 7 Years

    Atsu will do well to get that assist.

  27. Jedi_Reed
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Is it not worth riding out at least one of KDB's price drops? The international break is a very long time.

    1. Sánchez
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      SELL SELL SELL

      1. Jedi_Reed
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Got two transfers though. I'd like to at least get through tomorrow, make a choice between a Spurs, or Man Utd midfielder.

        1. Desperately Seeking Dusan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 10 months ago

          Yeah I'm in the same boat. Was hoping for a KDB decent score to hold off sellers so I could I hold 2FT. Not an option now but I already have two Spurs. But thinking of all in or more MNU... so wish I had a day to wait.

    2. WVA
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      I'm going to ride it out for sure
