Dugout Discussion

Dugout Discussion – Tuesday

Double Gameweek 37 enters its fifth day of action this evening, serving up two more fixtures to entertain Fantasy managers.

Arsenal welcome Sunderland to the Emirates in the 7.45pm kick-off as Alexis Sanchez looks to add to his goal and assist haul in Saturday’s demolition of Stoke.

Captained by 10.6% of FPL managers, the Chilean is the second most popular armband pick for the Gameweek. As expected, he has shrugged off a leg problem to start against the Black Cats, while fellow weekend scorers Mesut Ozil and Olivier Giroud are also named in the first XI as Arsene Wenger’s side attempt to keep their hopes of a top-four finish alive.

Man City entertain West Bromwich Albion in the second match of their Double Gameweek at 8pm.

Sergio Aguero returns to the starting XI alongside Gabriel Jesus as Raheem Sterling drops to the bench for the home side. The Argentine produced zero points as a sub at home to Leicester on Saturday, though boasting a 17% ownership, he is City’s most captained player (8.1%) for their pair of fixtures.

The top transfer target for Double Gameweek 37, Jesus rewarded his 217,000+ new owners with an eight-point haul against the Foxes, while Leroy Sane’s 7% backers will be hoping for more of the same after he delivered a season-high 11 points in the weekend win.

    any news from gabbiadini?

      Yeah, he's gash

        No news there. Owner here

    Took armband off sanchez last min to Kane thid how loyalty repays me. Rival only 27pts behind with 7 to play and TC to play next gw and I have Kane cap Alli two Southampton defenders.

    Verdict have I lost my money league?

    1. barracuda
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Looks like it

    2. Eddie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      You're 27 point ahead? You should e fine. How many do you have left to play? How many of the remaining players do you both have? And how many of his are Southampton players?

    3. TokyoRisingSun
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Being a tad dramatic no?

  3. Egyptian Giza
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Has the OR been updated?
    i was 11 something K and now I am 11.4K before today I was on 70 points but now I am on 120 points. What is going on guys? Did I really just climb 200 places on 50 points?

    1. wulfrunian
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      probably

    2. TokyoRisingSun
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Most people around you probably had Sanchez and captained him too

    3. Jay_
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Seems like everyone with Sanchez (C) and Jesus just stayed roughly the same. Only losers were those without 1 or even both of them (R.I.P). Winners had KDB or Azpi on top of those two.

        1. Egyptian Giza
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Pretty crazy! Getting a red arrow with 50 points

          1. barracuda
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            Same here

      • Eddie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        I just climbed 1K with 60 point today.

        1. Eddie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          But climbed, as opposed to dropped, fine margins.

      • barracuda
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah, you have dropped (updated)

      • Pierce34
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Most people have the same players and San(c)hez.

      • DoubleC
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        I only climbed a thousand on 50 points

    4. wulfrunian
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Do you think Rashford will start?

      1. Ógie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        I really think it will be Martial up front and Rashford brought on late but that is a pure guess

        1. wulfrunian
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          cheers

    5. camarozz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Fair play to Sanchez tho. I stuck with him thru his off form spell and TC'd him last wk,capt this wk with a BB and he repaid my faith in him. Did the same for me last yr on a TC .

      1. barracuda
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        He is a machine. Best player in the PL by miles.

        1. Coaly
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Aguero when on form is better imo

          1. Kun
          2. Sanchez
          3. Hazard
          4. Kane

          1. barracuda
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            Not this season, imagine Sanchez on top supported by Silva, KDB, Sane.

      2. Pierce34
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Sanchez is my absolute FPL hero - I've captained him on 12 different gameweeks so far and he's only blanked once out of those.

        1. Kane Toads
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          I've captained Alexis 10 times this season for a total of 248 pts.

      3. Sess!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Sanchez has been a nightmare for me. Always miss his hauls. Always blanks when I captain him. Still it's only 8pts lost from Jesus (c) so I can handle that.

    6. barracuda
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Which of you skiddy pants are keeping Hazard? 😉

      1. barracuda
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        NOT 1 keeping Hazard? Surely!

      2. Coaly
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        I'm leaning towards keeping

        1. barracuda
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Against Sunderland? He will need 25 mins to score a goal and an assist. Same here- keeping

      3. Pierce34
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Maybe. I might do Hazard to Coutinho like everyone else, but I might just get Liverpool defence for their last match and keep Hazard. Still undecided.

      4. Kane Toads
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Haz > Couts for me. Plus perhaps Caps > Fab for a hit.

      5. barracuda
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Would you good fellas downgrade Alonso to Arse defender and upgrade King to Couts? Rival has arse defenders/goalie

        1. potatoace
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          yes. good plan imo

          1. barracuda
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            Front would be

            Hazard Alli Couts Sanch

            Jesus Kane Costa

            1. potatoace
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years

              smashing.

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

      Kane hasn't scored away from home since gw19

      1. barracuda
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        I captained him that weekend, I will next weekend 🙂

        1. Coaly
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          My instinct was to go Kane but having doubts now

        2. Coaly
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Not much rest time either

          1. barracuda
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            Could be a factor (rest- but will he be hungry if he scores 2 on Thu- surely)

      2. barracuda
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Jaku is a below average keeper and they are deflated...3:0 to Spurs- Harry with a hattie

        1. Pierce34
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          But an above average penalty saver 😉

              TC Sanchez! Nice. That's a record captain score in FPL history right? Doubt that'll be beaten for a while.

            Good work mate. I've gone from 1m OR in GW15 (dont ask) to 55k now. WC has pushed me 100k places and counting in two gws.

        • Snevitz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Anyone else find it weird that people are so excited about 'high' scores?
          In a normal week you need to average 60 points to be near the top which is 5 points a player.
          When bench boosting in a big dgwk you can have 32 players so you would expect to get 160 points by the time it finishes.

          1. Pierce34
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            I get more excited by gameweek rank - my best for a while was GW28 when I only had 61 points.

            1. Pierce34
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 4 months ago

              But there is something special about seeing a three figure score, even if you're practically guaranteed to get one!

          2. Eddie
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years

            I like high scores.
            high scores are cool.

              I can't really argue with this.

          4. Jay_
              7 years, 4 months ago

              I always go by top 1k average on FFF. If under (like this week) I'm always disappointed. If you beat it by 10 you're laughing, beat it by 20+ you've had a dream week.

                    7 years, 4 months ago

                    True but no DDG for me, 3 unreliable Saints and 3 Spurs attackers that most own anyway. Tomorrow could give someone with a Saints attacking diff a good green, hopefully it's JWP. Other than the Saints attackers, can't see much more movement in rank in general

              DDG + Hazard + Gabbi -> Sturridge + Coutinho + Mignolet (-8)

              Yay or nay? Need to do DDG -> Mignolet for funds

                IF Hazard doesn't play, that looks ok. See what sort of shape Gabbi is in against United though, he might actually be useful against Stoke. I would just do Haz to Cout, and play your 5th mid ahead of Gabbi.

                • 9 Years
                7 years, 4 months ago

                Nice! I have Jesus and I'm also on 145. Do you have double Arsenal defence? (I've seen your team before but the only thing I remember is Gestede 😛 )

                1. jia you
                  • 8 Years
                  7 years, 4 months ago

                  No just Cech:
                  Cech/Pickford
                  Alonso/Kompany/Bavies/Mawson/Yoshi
                  Sanchez(C)/Hazard/Eriksen/Sane/King
                  Kane/Benteke/GESTEDE

                    Going Gestede instead of Jesus is quite brave eh 😉

                    Ah yes, some good SGW players there. Also Cech/Kompany was a better combination than Caballero/Monreal.

                    1. jia you
                      • 8 Years
                      7 years, 4 months ago

                      With 145(-12) I actually fell around 500 places but delighted to be on the 5k mark overall 🙂
                      How about you mate?

                        That's very good, well within target!

                        Today I rose about 300 places to 2,183. Prior to this gameweek I was at 4,345 - my big rise was 2,000 places on Saturday. I needed Sane to do well today if I was going to make serious headway, but I'm still very happy overall.

                          Excellent stuff that man!
                          I had a monster rise in OR at the weekend also 10k to 4.6k. I have the 3 Spurs & Yoshi to go which shouldn't make any real difference to OR as most probably have?

                            Depends, could still easily rise with a Spurs win and clean sheet - I don't have Spurs defence for example. Have 2 Spurs and 3 Saints but wish it was the other way round!

                              Fair point, anyway I'll be very happy with a top 10k finish! I'd planned on Alonso(C) for the final GW but think I'll just play safe now and captain ALexis. GL!

                    Thanks mate, so it was possible to get a decent score without owning both Sanchez and Jesus/KDB contrary to popular belief 🙂

                No Hazard in 38- MEGA trap!

                • 8 Years
                7 years, 4 months ago

                I want Gabbi out. Who do I go for? I was debating Giroud but I was having second thoughts before the match and they have been confirmed

                1. Eddie
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 12 Years
                  7 years, 4 months ago

                  Was Giroud that bad? I was concentrating so hard on Sanchez I didn't notice anyone else.

                  1) Costa if you can afford him
                  2) Studge
                  3) Vardy

                  1. The Big Fella
                    • 8 Years
                    7 years, 4 months ago

                    Not going Costa - trying to offload Chelsea players now. There will be rotation. Sturridge's place is a bit up in the air if Firmino is back but I will wait for the press conference. Vardy is a good option.

                    He didn't really do much. He is too slow and immobile for Arsenal I think. Impact sub IMO

                    1. Eddie
                      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                      • 12 Years
                      7 years, 4 months ago

                      They just rotated, I think Costa will get at least 60 mins. IF Firm is back, he's a great option, but doesn't help you fill your striker spot. If not back, Studge is a shoe in.

                Who was the best Arsenal defender vs Sunderland pls?

                1. Eddie
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 12 Years
                  7 years, 4 months ago

                  As in most likely to get FPL points? Bellerin.
                  Best defensively, Mustafi.

                  1. barracuda
                    • 7 Years
                    7 years, 4 months ago

                    Ok cheers, will Holding keep his place on Sunday? What would you say?

                    1. Rash
                      • 7 Years
                      7 years, 4 months ago

                      I think holding keeps his place

                      1. barracuda
                        • 7 Years
                        7 years, 4 months ago

                        If Kosc is back- I think Monreal could play as a LWB? Gibbs had some niggling problem recently.

                        1. Rash
                          • 7 Years
                          7 years, 4 months ago

                          Yea agreed

                    2. Eddie
                      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                      • 12 Years
                      7 years, 4 months ago

                      I was in the mind that he would keep his place regardless of Kos' injury. I brought him in thinking Gibbs would be dropped and Monreal would play at LWB. I think with all fit, if Wenger sticks to three at back, first choice defence is:

                      Ox, Holding, Mustafi, Kos, Monreal

                      That is until summer signings mix things up.

                  Yes. It was a save the penguins edition. Those poor little Emperor versions need as much help as possible.

                30 or so points off top 10k, won my ML. I've got to gamble and transfer in and captain Sturridge don't I?

                It goes down to the wire for my H2H matchup. Both on same points.

                Me: Vert Alli

                Him: Stephens Eriksen Gabbi

                Looks like I will lose it. 🙁

                  You need a Spurs clean sheet probably. I've got Vert as well and he's a differential in my ML so lets hope he comes through

                7 years, 4 months ago

                Has anyone got any theory as to what team Conte will select for Sunday? Rested a lot of the big guns on Monday. Do we think some of them come back in to strengthen the side and keep them sharp for the cup final or is just gonna give the second string another run out?

                1. Ógie
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 11 Years
                  7 years, 4 months ago

                  They actually have something to play for going for 30 league wins in a season and all the big guns will want to play the game they pick up the trophy imo

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

                    Yeah it's really hard to know. I'm mainly interested because I don't know what to do with Hazard. If Sunderland are as open as they were today and Chelsea being as clinical as they usually are, it could be a goalfest. Surely Hazard is due one if he's playing

                  2. tm370
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • 10 Years
                    7 years, 4 months ago

                    I'd predict something like:

                    Courtois/Begovic,
                    Moses, Ake, Cahill, Terry, Alonso
                    Matic, Fabregas,
                    Willian, Pedro
                    Costa

                    Picking up a trophy doesnt mean the first 11 have to play/start. Freshness and protecting key players from injury before the FA Cup final will be Conte's only concern. That, and giving youngsters and squad players a shot.

                At start of season I suggested pickford wouldn't be sold for less than 30m and was laughed at by some. Be interesting to see what those people's thoughts are now.

                  Good keeper yes, but 30m is way too high of a valuation I would've thought. If he's not tied down to a long term contract you'll be forced to sell him for much less than that

                    Sigh....i saw a story saying Everton want 50m for barkley. Young, english, absolute class. 30m is what we should get but because of relegation we might have to settle for slightly less. Whoever pays it is getting a steal.

                      Transfer valuations are gone crazy the last couple of seasons. If anyone pays 50m for that mug then they deserve the disappointment they'll get from him. Pickford does look an excellent prospect though, not as hyped up as a lot of other young English players probably because he's a keeper

                  Has he a regulation clause in his contract?

                  I reckon United will pick him up for around the £10m mark

                    No, only Defoe had that. There's absolutely no chance in a million years he goes for less than 20m.

                      Pickford has been good and that's a brave call (Esp early in the season), but I'd be amazed if he goes for anything more than 15 million. He has made some mistakes and his distribution is terrible. He kicked the ball out of play a good 4/5 times today.

                Nothing but green arrows the las few weeks. I never thought I would break into the 50k taking hits left and right.
