Dugout Discussion – Sunday – Part One

Sunday’s four matches get underway with a lunchtime double-header as champions Chelsea host Everton, while West Brom take on Stoke City at The Hawthorns.

Some Fantasy managers will be torn by the Stamford Bridge meeting. The Blues defence are well backed via Fantasy Premier League investment in David Luiz (25.9% ownership) and, of course, Marcos Alonso (18.2% ownership). T

he Spaniard heads into today’s contest off the back of his devastating two goals at Wembley against Spurs, having picked up over 245,000 new owners ahead of Gameweek 3.

However, Everton’s Wayne Rooney has also soared in popularity following back-to-back goals. He claims a 20.4% ownership ahead of the Chelsea clash and is the most popular captain pick on show in the early kick-offs: 93,000 have trusted him with the armband.

Meanwhile, at The Hawthorns, there is no question of the preferred outcome from a Fantasy perspective.

West Bromwich Albion will be seeking a third successive clean sheet against Stoke and boast the Gameweek’s second most popular transfer target in their line-up.

The towering Ahmed Hegazi has picked up over 504,000 new owners ahead of today’s clash and already ranks fourth for transfers in ahead of Gameweek 4 before taking to the pitch.

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

    21 points. Need something from Trippier, Eriksen and Kane (c) + Bellerin vs Firmino. Let's go! 🙂

      Decent chance

        • 7 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah, for sure. Spurs cleanie, Kane goal, Eriksen assist is not to much to wish for. Happy with either an Arsenal cs or a Firmino goal 😉

  3. lordkippe

    26 with kane (C) and mane left. Hope they can make my GW average

  4. Eton Rifles
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    No bap for Aonso

    Fab Morata 3
    Azpi 1

    1. Seb Wassell
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Phew

    2. SweeSwee
      • 9 Years

      Excellent

  5. twoplustwo
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Wow no Laca!

    Just sat down.

  6. Wild Rover
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Klopp is such a bullshitter, as if keepers need a rest 🙄

  7. shearer9
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Hernandez and Eriksen or Morata and Ramsey?

    1. twoplustwo
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Ramsey has been really good the last couple of games; prefer others to Morata

    2. Iceball

      HE

  8. Mortal.Swinbat

    Hey guys can I have some advice on a potential wild card team?

    Foster
    Alonso, B.Davies, Cedric, Jones
    Mkhitarian, Pogba, Silva
    Kane, Morata, Firminho

    Elliott, 4.5 def, Carroll, RLC

    No Lukaku is a worry but Morata is getting good points and Mk and Pogba enough cover?

    Thanks

    1. That Was Easy!

      Looks pretty dang good! My favorite WC team I've seen.

    2. Pierce34
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      That looks very good - looking at something similar but with Eriksen and Fabregas in the midfield instead of Pogba and Silva.

    3. Mortal.Swinbat
      • 13 Years

      Thanks guys!

    Thoughts on a -8 to get Willian & Gabbi out as longer term moves? Have 1.5ITB to fix it as well.

  10. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Wenger

    "Lacazette is still in adaption phase and it is difficult to choose between the attackers. Today Sanchez plays"

    1. Jigger & Pony
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Oh so Welbeck ahead of both Sanchez and Laca...

      1. twoplustwo
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        😀

    2. Cok3y5murf
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Wenger has been in adaption phase for the last decade

    3. jia you
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      and the clown wouldn't play him up top when we wanted him to the 2nd half of last season! (upset Laca owner)

  11. Digital-Real
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Would you Wildcard if you had this team?

    Degea
    TAA, Jones, Hegazi, Stephens
    Willian, Mane, Phillips, KDB, Redmond
    Mounie, Gabbi, Lukaku

    1. Ha.
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Yes

    2. Odikostar
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Nope

    3. Eton Rifles
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      don't be silly

      I'd cry but wouldn't wc.

      a -8 gets you in shape

    4. Yozzer
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      I probably would

    5. Podge
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      7-8 changes so yes

    6. Digital-Real
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Thank you all

    7. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Yes

  12. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Where's that guy who needed Alexander-Arnold to be benched to have someone (Daniels?) come on?

  13. Ha.
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Eurgh.

  14. Nabs Kebabs
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Welbeck striker ahead of Lacazette
    Mustafi benched
    Bellerin LWB (right footer - so where is the width on the left coming from? Sanchez also cuts in on his right foot ahead of him)
    Xhaka/Ramsey in midfield (both average tacklers)

    Arsenal are going to get smashed.

  15. George Sillett
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Who's the biggest team selection genius - Wenger or Pep ?

    1. Nabs Kebabs
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Wenger genuinely has no idea what he is doing.

      Pep usually has a method to his madness.

      1. Clifford☯
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        this.

      2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        I think he does, he's obviously setup for the game

        1. Nabs Kebabs
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Wenger? LOL

    2. MTPockets
        6 years, 8 months ago

        I love both lineups this week.

      • Seb Wassell
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        To be fair Pep's at least have some sort of logic behind them, fantasy managers just don't like it.
        Wenger on the other hand...

        1. Nabs Kebabs
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Yeah Pep's reasons are very tactical although I think he does tend to over do it at times with the tinkering.

          1. Seb Wassell
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            6 years, 8 months ago

            Agreed. He almost tries too hard to prove that he knows best, but at least there is understandable logic behind it.

    3. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Would this be a good wc team?

      Lossl, Elliott
      Alonso, cedric, hegazi, naughton, long
      Eriksen, pogba, mkhi, atsu, Carroll
      Kane, Morata, Firmino

      1. LoneWolfFPL
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Luaku still is a must have for me but rest looks very nice

      2. Podge
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Pretty good, hegazi likely to be dropped though

      3. Seb Wassell
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Could see hegazi being dropped on 2 weeks. Shocking error today and either Mcauley and evans fit or even a new cb in.

        1. Seb Wassell
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          That would be lovely! Can get rid, making £0.2m and get Dawson and Nyom...

    4. BlueIncognito
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      What to do with this?

      DDG
      Cedric - Dawson - Schindler
      Mane - KDB - Cesc - Tadic
      Abraham - Lukaku - Kane

      Elliot -- RLC, Mee, Rangel

      1. Fire Chief Moe
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Just dump KDB IMO. Other changes can wait.

      2. Odikostar
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        KDB to Eriksen

    5. G-Whizz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      3 - Fàbregas, Morata (36)
      1 - Azpilicueta (35)

      3 - Nyom (28)
      2 - Crouch (27)
      1 - Brunt (24)

      1. Odikostar
        • 9 Years

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          Yellow card and subbed

    6. Jordan.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      first and only transfer so far this year fabregas to Phillips,here we go, here we go, here we go

    7. Sjaugen
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Protect team value or wait?
      Might sell Fraser unless Arsenal looks truly shocking

    8. FER FUSCH AKE
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      42(-4) with Kane(c) and salah to go. Averagish it seems

      1. Podge
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        That's ok

      2. Iceball

    9. Pariße
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Wenger logic:
      Squad finally fully fit, best line-up? Nope. Let's bench our first choice striker and second best center back. Also let's sell the latter after a season.

      1. Oliver Tockman
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        truly confounding

    10. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Reckon Azpil could be the best chelsea defender. A bps magnet with some attacking returns thrown in

      1. FER FUSCH AKE
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Alonso is on fks mate

    11. EL_FENOMENO
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Do you think Tammy will keep his place long-term? A very nice option at 5.5 i think

    12. FER FUSCH AKE
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      karius to save a pen today

      1. JJO

        1. FER FUSCH AKE
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Sanchez

      1. JonSnow

        Welbeck

      2. CloudSky
