Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Sunday

The world expects the 2014/15 Premier League champions to be crowned this afternoon, as Chelsea host Crystal Palace at lunchtime, requiring a win to seal the title. Elsewhere, Tottenham Hotspur locks horns with Manchester City in the tea-time kick off as firm underdogs, given that the Sky Blues emerged victorious in seven of their previous eight meetings.

For Fantasy managers, the day is all about the clash of the captaincy candidates, as Eden Hazard and Sergio Aguero go head-to-head: the outcome could well have a significant impact on the Gameweek.

Having drawn successive blanks in the Blues’ double, Hazard will look to end the campaign on a high note when the Eagles pay a visit to Stamford Bridge – the Belgian has scored in his last two home outings. Cesc Fabregas fared slightly better in Gameweek 34, notching his 18th assist of the campaign, while Chelsea’s high-ownership defenders will be favoured to deliver a fourth clean sheet in five.

Spurs will not be relishing the clash with Manuel Pellegrini’s men, considering the North London club have shipped 15 goals in their previous three meetings. A fit and firing Aguero (four goals in three) tops the list of Mauricio Pochettino’s concerns, particularly when the Argentine frontman bagging seven of those 15 goals. Nacer Chadli (two goals in as many matches) is the hosts’ form player, with Harry Kane registering a solitary goal in his last four starts. Kane’s owners will be hoping that his quest for the Golden Boot will inspire an upturn in fortunes today.

    So if winning goal gets 3 points, kun might get 3 babs, silva 2 and kolarov 1

    How many bps is Aguero going to lose for dispossession?

      Not sure on Sanchez with his abysmal form off late.

      Kosc Azpi Toby Erik Sterling Kane +33 vs
      Moreno Ivan Morgan Sanchez Silva Benteke

      I'm the bottom one, going to hard to claw back those 33 points, think I can do it ?

    • Mílanista

      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 day ago

      Not an expert on this but if its just disposessions that are deducted post game and winning goal added I think the bps might end up as:

      Silva - 30
      Aguero & Kolarov - 28

      So 3 for Silva and 2 each for Kun and Kolarov

      1. ellelelle
        • 9 Years

        i'd like this! I hope you are right.

          As an owner of all 3 and Kun captainer I hope so too.

        Should've

      2. Royal5
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 day ago

        Obviously not. Would at least be a second yellow.

    • Doctor X

      Predictions for the Chelsea - Liverpool game? Any thoughts on how Mourinho may play this one?

      1. Jay_
          9 years, 1 day ago

          0-0

        • Pariße
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 day ago

          Yes, that would be good to know. I'm stuck with 2 Liverpool players who failed to perfrom in 3 ''easy'' games.

        • Dr Dream
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 day ago

          Remy may finally get his game for that one.

        • ebow14
          • 9 Years

          Park the bus, how else would he play it?

      2. Rex Lapis

        A. Sanchez + Kane/Vardy

        Hi All,

        Really need some guidance.

        Had bad GW feel depressed, I had 2 good GW reduced my rivals lead down to 23pts. His beating me so far by 15pts taking it to 38pts ahead with Sanchez still to play for him. His been putting players in I have to block me last.

        Prize money £300 for the league. Do I take out Sterling Silva > Tekkers Ramsey -4

        I don't know what to do, this GW knocked me for six.

        Thanks

        1. Heels_Over_Head
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 day ago

          What striker are you dropping for Tekkers?

          1. Ange Ball
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 day ago

            Sorry doing Silva Kane> Ramsey Tekkers

            He has 7 of my starting 11 now.

            1. Stats Don\'t Lie
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 1 day ago

              Can't u lose sterling instead of Silva? Silva has QPR at home next.

              1. Ange Ball
                • 9 Years
                9 years, 1 day ago

                My plan was to do Sterling Kane>Ramsey Tekkers

                but somehow they both went up last night now I'M 0.3 short

                I don't see no gain from keeping SIlva if your chasing?

                If I keep Silva my mid would be Hazard Silva Ramsey Hendo

                Kane will blank next week against Stoke and Hendo I don't see doing nothing

                that £300 could of payed off my over draft.............

            2. Heels_Over_Head
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 1 day ago

              Kane -> Tekkers, yes

              Silva -> Ramsey, wait... Silva has QPR at home this week if he's not banned

              1. Colonel Wasabi
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 10 Years
                9 years, 1 day ago

                This - wait for Rambo injury or Silva ban.......

                Hey Jon !
                (just going out the door...)

        2. Shifty
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 day ago

          I would make the switch with tekkers (c) - time to just go for it.

          Could you afford Ozil over Ramsey?

          1. Ange Ball
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 day ago

            Yeah I can get in Ozil or Ramsey but short by 0.1 to just do Kane>Tekkers

      4. Heels_Over_Head
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 day ago

        At what point in the week will we know if Silva is getting a retrospective ban or not? Wednesday? Thursday?

        Very frustrating... other options to bring in are the likes of Mata, Delph and De Jong

      5. Bøwstring The Carp
        • 12 Years

        How funny would it be if Swansea grabbed 6th place 😆

      6. DOCTOR J
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 day ago

        Aguero still an asset for the rest of season? Debating bringing him in vs. getting Tekkers or N'Doye.

        1. Doctor X
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 1 day ago

          Definitely. (C) Next week for sure.

      7. Wouter
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 day ago

        Is Bellerin nailed on for the rest of the season or is it best to get Ospina or Koscielny in for Bertrand/Panti?

        1. andy85wsm

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 1 day ago

          No point getting rid of Pantilimon when he has a double

          1. Wouter
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 day ago

            Oh yeah. Completely forgot about that, cheers. Haven't played him in weeks and sort of forgot about that. 🙂

      8. Back on the horse
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 day ago

        Did I get BBC notification about a Lamela goal or am i going mad?

        1. andy85wsm
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 1 day ago

          He didn't score but a goal did get added in FPL briefly.

        2. Fred54
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 day ago

          Was just checking the BAPS on my phone on the official site and it had Lamela getting the equaliser with a Rose assist....despite Sky Sports in front of me on a big TV still showing me it was 0-1 to Citeh, for a split second I thought the Live that Sky go on about was pushing it.

        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 day ago

        Well that's another week over. Think ML lead will be cut tomorrow with no Arsenal players to come.

        Time to work out how I crowbar Giroud and Benteke into my team while keeping Aguero

        1. Frank Black
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 day ago

          You don't bring Sanchez in.

          1. andy85wsm
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 1 day ago

            Yeah I suppose....fear will get me though.

        2. Spencer

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 1 day ago

          I'm wondering if it's worth keeping Vardy till the end and go Benteke-less instead.

          1. andy85wsm
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 1 day ago

            That is my other option as I currently own Vardy too. Do like the fixtures after Southampton.

            Additionally I could get Benteke in instead of Giroud and go for 2 x mids + Koscielny.

            1. Stats Don\'t Lie
              • 9 Years
              9 years, 1 day ago

              I'd go with the tekkers over giroud idea.

            2. Doctor X
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 1 day ago

              I'm looking at something similar Andy. Maybe get Ozil over Giroud for a differential.

        4. Shifty
          • 10 Years

          Fabregas. I think Chelsea will go on the attack from now on.

      11. SweeSwee

        9 years, 1 day ago

        Got an accumulator and need Arsenal to win. Do I:

        A) Cash out - win £160
        B) Keep going - win £310

          How much did you bet?

          I'd keep going

            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 day ago

            £20, tempted to keep going

            1. Lawrø
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 1 day ago

              It's a tough one... Hull could grab something...

          So if Sunderland win at goodison, hull get any points vs arsenal or Burnley and Leicester get any points vs Southampton then Newcastle go into relegation spots
