Dugout Discussion – Man City vs Swansea

Gameweek 35 rolls on with another big fixture for Fantasy managers as champions Manchester City host relegation-threatened Swansea at the Etihad Stadium.

The home side features the two most signed players ahead of Saturday’s deadline, with both Raheem Sterling and Gabriel Jesus named in their strong starting line-up.

Sterling was acquired by over 327,000 managers having delivered two goals and three assists from is last four Gameweek starts.

But striker Jesus has proved even more popular. The injury to Sergio Aguero has paved the way for the Brazilian to command a regular starting role over Man City’s remaining five fixtures, continuing today. He was snapped up by 375,000+ ahead of Gameweek 35 and is also captained by 272,000+ (4.6%).

Around that pair, City have a number of explosive assets capable of delivering big scores.

Kevin De Bruyne, as part of 22.3% of squads, has the ability to play a significant role in this match and Gameweek 35, though the Belgian is without a goal in his last eight Gameweek appearances (7 starts), which have produced four assists and just two bonus points.

Meanwhile, David Silva was brought in by 84,000+ but is owned by a relatively modest 12.3%, he has three goals and three assists from his last six Gameweek appearances. Winger Leroy Sane has an identical ownership but finds himself dropped to the bench today, ending a run of six successive starts.

That isn’t the only teamsheet tweak to annoy Fantasy managers. Both Kyle Walker and Nicolas Otemendi also start in reserve, boasting a combined ownership of 2.4 million managers.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Myself and my rival both have;
    Groß Cristensen and Mahrez
    I also have Willian.

    Which 2 should I get rid of for gw37?

    A) Christensen & Willian for security of minutes

    B) Cristensen + Mahrez/Groß for differentials (I'm chasing)

    DDG Hennessey
    VVD Mustafi Alonso Tarkowski Lowton
    Salah Arnautovic Zaha Gudmundsson Willian
    Jesus Firmino Deeney

    1 FT, 4.4 ITB

    A) Firmino to Kane
    B) Zaha to Sterling
    C) Alonso to Vert
    D) B + C for (-4)
    E) anything else?

    1. JustPark

      Would probably save.

      Yep the FFS avg seems to be about 60 with Baines to go.

      Although I did see someone on 46 FH!

      62 with Baines and Dubravka, hoping to get to 70 🙂

        Very nice Parisse

          Thank you, the same.

        could easily get to 70. I don't imagine both teams scoring

    5. Bob McMayday

      66 without Baines to go 🙁

    The amount of abuse AE is getting
    https://twitter.com/AnfieldExpress/status/988086380373868544?s=19
    Won't be surprised if he never leaks again.

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      I imagine he/she/it likes the attention

    2. Rash

      Selfish Scousers

      Possibly to not give Roma a clue even though the likely team is known.

      1. potatoace
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah I know.
        It's all the abuse afterwards though from followers telling him to pack it in for good

    4. Brosstan
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      He deserves it. Leaking the team is awful, especially against top managers who will use it to gain an advantage.

      1. Shultan
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        I doubt leaking the team the night before or a couple of hours before make a big difference.
        Managers decide the team & tactics during training

      These are all non fantasy people

      1. potatoace
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        It's wierd isn't it.
        It's not like there's anything else worthwhile following him for

        1. Pariße
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          Yeah, I don't get it. It benefits us greatly and no one loses anything from it.

    7. Ghost Gooner
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Don't see the big issue tbh, rivals can figure out lineups from midweek training pics/involvement

  5. FPL ZB
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Pérez and Baines tomorrow. Never thought my first sub would actually play.

    Pérez over Dummett might be a mistake

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Perez first sub for me tomorrow too
      My arch rival 30pts behind me has Baines
      Straight head to head

      1. FPL ZB
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Did Silva to Sane on Friday, really regretting it

        1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          Me too. Toying between KDB and Silva all week
          Then went on the comparison tool and saw Sane PPG was higher than both

  6. Rash
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Probably only echoing what's probs been said a few times already but 9 poi ts for a keeper who conceded 5 goals is bonkers!

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      pen save and saves, rules eh

    2. Fuchs Mane Kante
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Five goals conceded two bonus.

      Must be nice.

  7. UshFPL
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Which would you drop? Son or Alli?

    1. Yozzer
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      I'd keep Alli in this form

    2. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Son

    3. HNI
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Son if had to pick as no more rest for alli due to fa cup kick

    4. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      think I may keep as nice GW36 fix and Spurs still fight for something but if I decide to sell than probably Son

      1. UshFPL
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        I want Vert though and have 3 Spurs. Want a City mid too

    5. Rash
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Keep

  8. Zilla
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    BPS added

  9. ludaslol
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Rival on 81 with Baines to go.. that must be top 1k or something?

    He’s on FH so no hits

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      That's a silly score

    2. lilmessipran
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      if jesus had converted that penalty i would have been on 86..ffs

      1. WE ARE RANGERS

        If my Granny had a baw bag....

        1. Rust Cohle
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          +1

  10. Lone Wolf FPL
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    There will be rotations in DGW37, right?
    Is there any sense to makr hits especially if own full team of double game players?
    So the picks like Alonso, Mahrez, Son or Willian arent worth sellin for -4?

    1. Pras (FPL)
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Any of them for a City mid is worth it imo..

      1. Lone Wolf FPL
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        you sure that you know which City mid will play both games?

        1. Jam0sh
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          Even one game from city mid could do

    2. JustPark
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Leaning to Alonso.

    3. HNI
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      If spurs dont win against watford, chelsea will go all guns blazing into the dgw

  11. JustPark
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Say, if one pulls a Messi(pass and other scores) or hit the woodwork straight off penalty, does it considered as a penalty miss?

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      No for the first bit
      Yes for the second bit

      I assume

    2. Brosstan
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Its a miss and assist yes.

  12. Chucky
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    So Tarko is keeping his assist? 😀

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Well played, are you a heavy drinker too?

      1. barracuda

    2. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah

  13. FPL ZB
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    I like my FH team. Sad it has to go.

    Seeing Morgan, Christensen, Willian and co coming back again is just depressing

    1. UshFPL
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Same here 🙁

    2. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Willian coming back is brutal. I can't bear to see him

      1. DAZZ
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Bench him

  14. UshFPL
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Son and Bailly -> Vert and Silva/Sterling for a -4?

    1. Clifford☯
      • 8 Years

      Yes

  15. MiLK2018

      1. SAUCY SALAH

    2. HNI
      • 11 Years

      1. lilmessipran

      1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
        • 7 Years

        ML rival captained him so I celebrated wildly

    4. Lazaretti
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Same wagon - Sterling C + Jesus in the team - chasing in ML (30pts)

  17. ludaslol

    1. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Call kane 's crap form early and accept son is not doing well as well as having minutes limited? High risk, high reward.

      1. JONALDINHO
        • 7 Years

        Do NOT do this! Could be high reward but Spurs do superb at home especially against weaker sides. When Spurs do well Kane and Son haul. I’d wait until leaked Pool lineup. If Salah isn’t playing get Eriksen/Silva. Otherwise wait

          I appreciate your honesty ;). Maybe I'm speaking from a position of resentment getting kane back in immediately but he's been absolutely anonymous ever since. Pet theory is that he knows he's lost the golden boot and can't get it done now. One goal between now and the end of the world cup. You heard it here first.

        Cant lose Kane as rival 20 ahead hasnt got him. Spurs great run in. Im considering losing Willian, Alonso, Pogba

          All those three are definitely good potential calls. Depends what you need really. As you're chasing may want to keep pogba as a differential.

            Suppose you're not open to the salah drop either then? (yes, my end of season is rather reckless)

              Personally I'd be more attached to vardy in that front line and you need to sacrifice something big to get the money for these changes.

    Seen a few posts mentioning gw average at certain rank breakdowns. Where are you finding these, my normal twitter feed hasn't updated it

        Thanks very much, TM.

        Surprisingly low averages. Did that many people really free hit in 31?

            That's fair. Though you'd expect early abandons to have a fair contingent of Liverpool and city players?

    Play Milivojevic (Leicester at home) or Groß (Burnley away) next week?

      Faced with the same question. Lingard also in the mix. Right now I’m on Mili and Lingard.

        Yes, TM. I am very interested to see it in after today. 😀

    (a) Auba > Kane
    (b) Jesus > Kane

    1. JONALDINHO
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      A.

    2. Rust Cohle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      B. Not overreacting to today. I think Jesus is more likely to sit that Auba on the run-in.

    3. Rust Cohle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Also, Auba appears to be more clinical notwithstanding all the chances City create.

    65 pts with Baines to go. FH success?! How does that compare around here?
