Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Saturday

After Chelsea’s dramatic win at the Etihad, there are five 3pm kick-offs to keep us ticking over.

Harry Kane carries the armband hopes of many Fantasy Premier League managers for Gameweek 14 – the Spurs forward earned 32% of the Captain Poll votes against a Swansea outfit that have conceded at three times in four of their six matches under Bob Bradley.

Second only to Kane for transfers up front since last week’s deadline, Southampton’s Charlie Austin travels to a Palace defence that have been breached in all 13 Gameweeks so far.

Jermain Defoe also earned plenty of new owners ahead of Sunderland’s home encounter with Leicester. The top value forward in FPL, he faces a defence that have conceded 16 times on their travels – no side have shipped more.

All three forwards have the chance to stake a claim as our Sergio Aguero replacement, in light of the City striker’s dismissal earlier today.

Over in the midlands, West Brom’s Matt Phillips looks to continue the form that has racked up two goals and three assists in the last three Gameweeks as Watford roll up to the Hawthorns.

Back from a one-match ban, Stoke’s Joe Allen is only named amongst the subs against a Burnley side that have conceded at least three times in all but one of their away matches.

        3. tm245
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          I think he got a yellow card during the incident, not sure if they would look for more.

          1. Lawrø
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 9 months ago

            That was for arguing.

          • 11 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          15 more minutes to come on and get the 2nd appearance point. Plenty of time.

      • Wild Rover
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Maybe Aguero will get his ban reduced to one game if they take into consideration that it was Luiz that he assaulted?

        1. Cocky Spaniel Alves
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          That and the fact that he already served one suspension.

        2. Smarty Pants
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          what's wrong with Luiz?

              Yeah, I must have missed all the dirt. I thought he was a positive person and people normally liked him.

        Before the Etihad erupted I was only considering Allen to Sigurdsson. Now I'll probably do a full on -8 hit with Agu and a defender to Costa and Alonso. Sensible right?
