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.

    Lacazette not starting?

      Rumours that Sanchez is playing striker

      1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…

        Lacazette doesn't start, Wenger deserves the sack. Paying 50 million to warm the bench.

          Well hes obviously injured

        2. Cok3y5murf

          He's deserved the sack for years now. This is nothing lol

          Forget the price tag, market is inflated. Laca still getting used to premier league, not surprised if he benched today.

    Foster
    Bailly Bertrand Davies
    Salah Mkhi Alli Redmond
    Lukaku Jesus Mounie

    Elliot, Carroll, Daniels, Long

    2 FTs and no money in the bank. What do you think I should do?

    Early team news... Liv vs Ars

    Laca not playing -> Sanchez in

    1. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Yay...rotation between the two of them...both ruined from an FPL perspective 🙁

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

        No way does Sanchez get dropped

        1. Business Cat
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          ...maybe. But if forced out wide like he was last year when Giroud played, he's nowhere near as effective.

    2. KGFC
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      This is the last confusion that we needed before the international break + tasty ARS fixtures + potential WC time 🙁

    Apologies if posted already
    David Woods‏ @DavidWoodsStar
    Understand Sanchez starts for Arsenal today but no Ox in team against Liverpool - who want him along with Chelsea.

  5. Fowler23
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Lacazette out apparently

  6. shearer9
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    How did Hernandez look v Newcastle?

    1. Magerost
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Shite, as the rest of West Ham. Maybe he will get some support when lanzini is back

    2. Maarrrr17
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Ouch, no lacazette...

      1. Eton Rifles
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Mbemba in for me then

        1. The Royal Robin
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          He'll probably still feature so unlikely.

    3. Cok3y5murf

      Sanchez to play striker, according to rumors. Hattrick confirmed

      1. arndff_
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Sanchez = FPL God

    4. F4L
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Lol if Welbz starts ahead of Lacazette 😆

    5. pundit of punts
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Reports of Sanchez starting and Laca dropped and Welbeck keeping his place.

      Wenger has lost it if that's true.

      1. Wilshere Knowledge
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Like he has an 'it' to lose.

        1. Sánchez
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          I don't know what "it" is, but Wenger lost it about 10 year ago

      2. 1314
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        let's wait for the result first..I was shocked to see the United's line up last season against Chelsea but performance and result suggested otherwise..well but of course Wenger and Mourinho are of different level..

    6. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Can't believe we let this Stoke side score against us...

      Wenger and Pep have an uncanny ability to complicate the simple

      1. Business Cat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        They should apply the principle of KISS

        Keep It Simple Stupid

      Is Willian nailed? Thinking about Tadic > Willian

    9. F4L
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Where's this Lacazette out rumors coming from?

      1. Fowler23
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Michael Owen and Andy Townsend at anfield

        1. F4L

          hmm alright cheers

        Andy Townsend and Micheal Owen on their pre match coverage from Anfield.

        Gave in to the 'Mane not starting' rumours last week and went for Salah who was actually benched. Not believing any of this news anymore.

    10. Texas Pete

      Willian could do with getting me a few farewell points this half.

      1. Lone Wolf FPL
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        selling? why?

    11. My Name Is Pepu
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Are they not telecasting the Chelsea Everton game in the UK? That's pathetic if true. We watch all the PL games for free in India and we pay like 5 pounds a month for the TV and internet.

        Yeah - but you don't get Bake Off over there

        Chelsea - Everton was moved due to Europa League after the TV selections were made

        As for your second point, in the UK there's a domestic sport to keep running

        1. My Name Is Pepu
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          I'm not a local so I wouldn't know mate. I read a few people complaining that they pay shit load of

    12. Smurf

      • 14 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Jese looks very poor.

    13. lukacz1234

      Replacing KDB, I went for Hazard instead of Pogba/Miki/Eriksen.

      Where is your God now?

    15. Bubz
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Games like WBA vs Stoke should be banned from television

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Every MID game last season should've been banned

      2. Gnu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        In their defence, it is a Derby of sorts with a bit of extra needle because of personnel.

      1. Revival
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Seems to make sense given we know Sanchez will play

    20. fiveyears
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      If I know my FPL, everyone will rush to get Morata in this weekend only for him to get injured on international duty. Every year without fail.

    21. Jafooli

      Mignolet dropped, my sources tell me.

    22. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Hegazi will never score at this rate. He should be played as a CF

      Sandro's shot was heading towards the corner flag there
