Dugout Discussion

Dugout Discussion – Bournemouth vs Chelsea

The day’s events draw to a close at the Vitality Stadium as leaders Chelsea bid to extend the gap at the top with Spurs breathing down their necks.

From a Fantasy perspective, Eden Hazard is now perhaps now the main draw in the Blues camp – he’s been acquired by over 94,000 FPL managers ahead of today’s deadline, while team-mate Diego Costa has been jettisoned from 103,000+ squads.

Costa is backed by more than 447,000 (10.1%) with the captaincy but has delivered just two goals in his last eight Gameweeks. Meanwhile, Hazard, for all his increase in popularity, has just a single goal from his last six away trips.

In defence, Chelsea have gone eight Gameweeks without delivering a clean sheet and will be tested severely by a lively Bournemouth attack on home turf.

Josh King is undoubtedly their key Fantasy asset – he’s produced five goals and an assist in his last five Gameweeks and 56,000+ have swooped for the Cherries midfielder ahead this evening’s encounter.

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

            It also leaves me money spare to get Ibra in for Lukaku.

    Anyone else still got WC BB and TC and beginning to worry how to fit them in?

    Who goes out for Kane ?

    A) Eriksen
    B) Alli
    C) Davies

    Leaning with C atm.

    1. Sweetboi
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Has to be C

  5. Syd.
    • 14 Years

    Is it true that Mark did Son > Alli?

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

      Aye. Davies out too.

      1. Syd.
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Oh. His hot streak is cooling off

    2. Bruno Bruno!!
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      yes he had Son and eriksen last GW and now he has alli and eriksen

    3. Fred54
      • 9 Years

      Yes.

    4. Park the bus
      • 13 Years

      Ah that explains no assist for 2nd goal...

        Think it should have been given then? Learn the rules

    is Kane's price protected now that flag has been removed?

    1. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Not protected, free to move.

          For sure? Asking as FFFix doesn't seem to agree.

        Bench one

        A) Valencia (CHE)
        B) Brunt (LIV)
        C) Mawson (wat)
        D) Maguire (sto)

        My 5th defender is Rose. Would you take a hit to upgrade this defence?

        1. BellyKlopp

      3. Karan14
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Who would you transfer out between Alli, Eriksen & Walker to get Kane in?

        Appreciate your thoughts!

        1. the snazzy viking
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          none

        2. Reggie Nainggolan
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Walker if it doesn't destroy the team balance otherwise eriksen

          1. Karan14
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            I just can't sell Eriksen before Bournemouth at home.

            1. Reggie Nainggolan
              • 7 Years
              7 years, 1 month ago

              I know right. I think you've got the answer you were looking for then...Sell Alli lol

      4. the snazzy viking
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I need to stop making transfers and benching moves at midnight

      5. The Wizard of Ozil
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Will Alli be on 1 BP after winning goal, or has that already been added?

        1. diesel001
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          No BAPS for Alli

          1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
            • 12 Years

            like the nazisoup kitchen in seinfeld

        2. Fred54
          • 9 Years

          Finalised.

          • Has Moderation Rights

          Unfortunately no bonus for Alli.

      6. BellyKlopp
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Costa and Defoe to Ibra and Benteke?

        1. diesel001
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Costa to Kane IMO

          1. BellyKlopp
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            hmm I thought that at first but I have Eriksen and Alli and thinking about DGW in 34

      7. Reggie Nainggolan
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        If you were wilcard ing what would your front 6 be for the remaining gw's? Please consider price tags.

        1. Karan14
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Sanchez Alli Eriksen King/Zaha
          Ibra Kane Gabbiadini

          1. Reggie Nainggolan
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Perfect. Was thinking the exact same. But who would u get instead of gabbiadini for now cos he's still injured. Really want to transfer out Llorente asap

            1. Karan14
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 1 month ago

              I think he'll be fit for the next match.

          • 8 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Front 6? Are you planning on playing 4-4-2?

          Alli Sanchez Zaha Redmond
          Kane Zlatan

          1. Reggie Nainggolan
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Whoops meant front 7. So either 352 or 343. Ur pick but prefer 343

        2. diesel001
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Sanchez - Alli - Hazard - Tadic - King
          Kane - Lukaku - Gestede

      8. Vedas
        • 8 Years

        Thoughts on Kun to Kane??

        1. Flynny
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Will be v popular....im doing it...

        2. Pirlø's Pen
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Not all that sure

      9. Colonel Shoe 肝池
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        get rid of lanzini or siggy for zaha?

        1. Fred54
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Definitely.

      10. goriuanx

        Sandro 1-0. Barca losing.

      11. Chucky
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I did Coutinho to Pedro this week.... has to be my worst move ever 🙁

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

          Bit unlucky with the flag but to be fair he didnt start so getting rid not the wrong move.

          Mate did the same for Sane

          1. Chucky
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            monster score well done.at least you had Son to make up for it 😀

        2. the snazzy viking
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          just look at my moves.

          Took an 8 point hit this GW, looking ahead to GW34:

          Coutinho to Alli -> 9 points vs 8 points
          Snodgrass to Eriksen -> 6 points vs 6 points
          Costa to Negredo -> 8 points vs 1 point

          Played Pieters and Brunt instead of Yoshida -> 1 point and 1 point vs 9 points

          Didn't play King. Another 8 odd points lost.

          Make you feel any better?

          1. Chucky
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            oh dear.yeah i feel much better now 😀

            1. the snazzy viking
              • 7 Years
              7 years, 1 month ago

              good, although I felt better after my horse won the grand national

      12. camarozz

        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Have to admit I seriously missed a trick not bring son in. A lot of my rivals did just that and couple capt him. Nvr crossed my mind and I don't remember Mark and co making a claim for him tbh.
        Flirted with Kane and Erickson in to go with Alli but not son.
        Need lukaku to go crazy tomorrow or I'm toast.

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Myself and Mark both bought him in originally.

          I did start to worry a little after the first game so do consider myself a bit fortunate to still have him.

          Just one of those things.

        what's the deal with navas???/ how does he get 3 baps every time????

        1. diesel001
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Makes runs, puts in tackles / interceptions, puts in crosses and today got an assist.

        2. the snazzy viking
          • 7 Years

          first name is Jesus

      14. PvA
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Pickford (Valdes)
        Alonso, Walker, Valencia (Yoshida, Kone)
        Sanchez, Alli, Siggy, Tadic (Capoue)
        Ibra, Lukaku, Negredo

        Would you take a -8 for:

        Negredo, Tadic, Capoue, Walker ➡ Barnes, Eriksen, Zaha, PVA

        Becoming 352:

        Pickford (Valdes)
        Alonso, Valencia, PVA (Yoshida, Kone)
        Sanchez, Alli, Eriksen, Siggy, Zaha
        Ibra, Lukaku (Barnes)

        1. Reggie Nainggolan
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          I assume you got negredo for dgw? Surely you would want to see it out and bag the 4 points lol

        2. Clumsy Sakho
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          No

        3. diesel001
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Tadic no. Has two DGWs and has started to pick up points.

          Capoue and Walker to Zaha and Vetonghen IMO.

      15. Whazza
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Kun->Kane is not a no-brainer.

        Kun has 4 goals in his last 4.
        Kane is not match fit yet and we don't know about his form after the injury.

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

          If you're choosing between them both I think it has to be Kane.

          If you can get both go for it but Aguero is quite expensive

          1. Whazza
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            A defender+ Alli + Erik/Son with Kun instead of Kane seems the safer option to me.

        2. Pirlø's Pen
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Kun is arguably undroppable at the moment, when a player keeps scoring there is no need to change

      16. Sweetboi
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        How long do you think Spurs will play Alli, Eriksen, Son and Kane together for? (Confident they'll start with that next week).

        1. Deulofail
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Probably at least till Rose is back, maybe after too

      17. Gazza2000
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Play Holebas (SWA) or Valencia (CHE) ?

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

          Valencia. Expecting that match to be tight

      18. HVT
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Antonio and Siggy are starting to annoy me now.....

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

          Siggy likely to get a bit longer while other transfers are made for me most likely.

          Not looking good for him though

      19. Clumsy Sakho
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Any idea when all fixtures will be confirmed?

          • Has Moderation Rights

          By Monday hopefully.

        Is vardy gonna punish me if i get rid for Kane?

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 13 Years

          Probably not

        2. Epic Fail
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Might do.

        3. Team Cruel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Not any more than Kane if you don't get him.

      21. Sims
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        How many hits are people looking to take until the next DGW

        I'll have to take a -8( -4 and -4) just to fit 4 DGWers

        No space for Kane next week will be a major worry

        1. Epic Fail
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          None planned.

        2. Chucky

          I'm not intending to take any hits for DGWers. I only have Valencia atm. Probably Kun to Ibra GW34, but probs not for a hit. Maybe get Boro def if for free.

        Is it crazy taking out two players with great fixtures (Bavies and Lukaku) in order to accommodate Kane?

        Thoughts guys? 2.2m ITB 2FT

        Grant Jaku
        Alonso Valencia Davies Yoshida Brunt
        Sanchez Alli Siggy Zaha Clayton
        Kun Kaku Llorente

        1) Are there any decent 4.5m defenders?
        2) Worth sacrificing Sanchez for a Kun Kane Ibra line up?
        3) Hold Siggy or get rid?
