Dugout Discussion – Saturday

A quartet of afternoon kick-offs keep the Gameweek rolling, with plenty of interest in a range of mid-price Fantasy assets.

Swansea City’s Jordan Ayew is among the most signed players in action, having claimed another 139,000 owners ahead of his home meeting with Burnley. The Ghanian has four goals in his last seven Gameweeks.

Theo Walcott has also proved a popular acquisition this week, with 128,000 managers snapping him up having watched him produce two goals and an assist in his previous two home matches on Merseyside. He takes on Crystal Palace at Goodison Park today.

Pascal Gross also features among the top ten most signed ahead of today’s deadline, with 126,000 swooping for the Brighton playmaker. He returned 13 points in the 3-1 win over West Ham last time out.

The German will face a rejuvenated Stoke City side who have kept two clean sheets in their three matches under new manager Paul Lambert. Xherdan Shaqiri is the Potters’ own big asset on show – he goes into today’s contest owned by 498,000+ managers.

West Ham host Watford in the final three o’clock encounter. All eyes will be on Gerard Deulofeu in this one; following his 13 points against Chelsea on Monday; the winger has been signed by 192,000, second only to Arsenal pair Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang ahead of today’s deadline.
