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.

    It comes down to 3 options for me next week:

    Choose the captain pls:

    1- Zaha
    2- Benteke
    3- Lukaku

    Cheers

      I have all those 3, and am probably going DGW.
      Also considering Valdes...

    Anyone else going without Ibra for the doubles or is it too risky

    1. barracuda
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Going without

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    4. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      going without

    Jaku Picky

    Alonso Jags Holgate Chambers Brunt

    Haz Alli Eriksen Zaha King

    Kane Ibra Kaku

    planning on doing Jaku ➡ Valdes, and playing AOA, benching Jags Holgate and Brunt. Does it look good?

    1. MTPockets
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Yep, unless Jagielka keeps this up.

    2. Gnu

      2. Bruno Bruno!!
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        not bad at all considering a 20 point hit

        1. F4L
          • 9 Years

          cheers Anish, you'll probably overtake me soon

          1. Bruno Bruno!!
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            Hoping hazard does well even though im a united fan, or if not a clean sheet for both teams

    6. Total Foot 5
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Best Move pls? thnx
      *if optin w/ Ibra, might do TC on him or wait for Sanchez Dgw.

      1. -4 Lukaku + Philips > Ibra DGW + Stanislas (played 68 min 2day)
      2. -4 Lukaku + Stones > Ibra DGW + 4.0 (Muniesa / Benalouane)
      3. -4 Philips + Stones > Zaha + 4.6 (Holgate / Yoshida)
      4. -4 Philips + Stones > King + 4.5 (Holgate / Yoshida)

      1. Funkyav
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        4 looks best bet to me

        1. Funkyav
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          soz meant 3 looks best

          1. Total Foot 5
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 5 months ago

            3 w yodhi or holgate

      2. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        no point in ibra imo, they need to secure qualification for semi finals in europa so i see ibra being benched for burney away

    7. AYLD28
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Good planning has potentially left me in a position to save my FT for next GW:

      Valdes*
      Fabio*, Alonso, Valencia*
      Zaha*, Sanchez, Siggy, Eriksen
      Zlatan*, Benteke*, Kane

      Pick, De Roon*, Davies, Bertrand

      Sanchez a huge differential in the top 10. Does anyone / any site pull numbers on top 1k or top 100 averages / % owned?

      1. barracuda
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        TM will help you out

    10. brenks
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Who will score more in next two GW?
      A) Townsend (liv, TOT, BUR)
      B) King (MID, sun)

      1. TheTinman
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        B

      2. AYLD28
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years

        If it's a FT then A

        If not B

    11. TheTinman
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Who wins?

      Alonso +19
      Courtois, Bailly, Costa

      Let's hope for a 1-1 with Alonso goal... 😀

    12. F4L
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      If you owned Ibra, is he the nailed in captain choice?

      1. TheTinman
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Yes

      2. andymck

      Lukaku -> Ibra for free this week and then im left with who to play in my mid

      Will de Roon outscore Wallcot?

      Y or N?

      Have Valencia and Zaha from DGW's.

      1. jam
        • 14 Years

        Not keen on Miki, might not get that many minutes

    17. Bruno Bruno!!
      • 9 Years

      Hazard and sanchez doing well would be a nice differential for me

    18. RAFA THE GAFFA

        1. RAFA THE GAFFA
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          Yeah I'm 68 back! Big bench boost with lots of luck and I could make top 10 perhaps

            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 11 Years

      Up to 1308 now and Cout, Firmino, Valencia and Alonso left.

    23. Lone Wolf FPL

      Randolph, Jaku
      Alonso, Davies, Holgate, Fernandez, Evans
      Sanchez, Alli, Coutinho, Siggy, Fletcher
      Kane, Lukaku, Ibra

      2.0 off to that team.
      Who to downgrade? 1-2 moves maximum (all moves for a hit)

      1. AYLD28

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years

          Actually no, siggy 100% > Zaha

    24. Syd.
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Only dropped from 28k to 34k with 35 points

      Thought it would be worse

    25. manu4life99
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Thoughts on the following as options for upcoming doubles:

      A) Pedro
      B) Gabbiadini
      C) Stones

      1. AYLD28
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 5 months ago

        Pedro has looked a bit off the boil lately.

        City looks good with the back four they played today so for me

        B

        1. AYLD28
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 5 months ago

          I'm doing Benteke > Gabbi in GW 35 I think

    26. AYLD28
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 5 months ago

      Good planning has left me in a position to save my FT for next GW:

      Valdes*
      Fabio*, Alonso, Valencia*
      Zaha*, Sanchez, Siggy, Eriksen
      Zlatan*, Benteke*, Kane

      Pick, De Roon*, Davies, Bertrand
