Dugout Discussion – Chelsea vs Arsenal

Sunday could actually be a “super” one in Gameweek 5. It begins at Stamford Bridge where Chelsea host Arsenal with an array of major Fantasy assets taking to the turf.

Alvaro Morata is perhaps the key attacking option on show. The Spaniard has recorded three goals and two assists – all with his head – since arriving at Chelsea and is supported by 912,000+ owners, with 182,000 (20%) of those backing him with the captaincy.

Alexandre Laczette is in opposition and, surprisingly perhaps, remains well backed in Fantasy terms.

Despite suffering 92,000+ sales heading into Gameweek 5, the French striker is still retained by 600,000 managers and has 141,000 (23%) of those trusting him with their Gameweek captaincy.

Elsewhere, the performances of wing-backs Marcos Alonso and Sead Kolasinac will be closely tracked.

The Chelsea man is owned by 21.2% of FPL managers having picked up another 40,000 new managers ahead of yesterday’s deadline.

Kolasinac’s following is more modest (10.7%) and yet, following his goal in the midweek Champions League tie, he is building momentum ahead of two favourable home fixtures (WBA BHA).

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

    Jones & Kaku to get 30 points between them. Or even 25 would be ok.

  2. Wilshere Knowledge

    Luiz will be nice for 5.8 or 5.9 after the City game. 😎

    If lukaku blanks, very much thinking about

    yes or no?

    1. Trovsmash
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      would be for a hit

    2. Orion
      • 13 Years

      Keep Alonso

    3. FPL.team
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      No

    4. Dr. DOOM

      Kneejerking at its best

  5. Dr. DOOM
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Out of curiosity. Anyone with Luiz here?

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      I'm sure there are some who got him to replace Cahill, and also got Mané to replace Fabregas. Ouch

      1. Dr. DOOM
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Wow. Just checked, around 25% ownership

  6. FISSH
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Kolasinac YC cost me max BAPS

    1. justmatt
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      I just posted below about it, never saw a CS for Arsenal though, still decent return.

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

      Bellerin's YC in the 93rd minute cost me too.

  7. HonestBlatter
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Was Pedro injured? What will be the impact to Willian's minutes in upcoming games?

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

    Annoying to see Kola lose all the bonus due to the card but definitely happy for the "bonus" clean sheet. Didn't see that match end 0-0.

  9. Fred54
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Rivals being rivals...benches Kola. 73 points and still has Lukaku (C)....

      auto sub no diff

  10. H-SF

    49 with Mkhi to go about average would we say?

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

      Go away

      1. H-SF
        • 7 Years

        ?

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

          I'm just salty- average was under 30 yesterday. You hardly thought an average of 20pts was earned during that 1 match

    2. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Less than average on here

    3. olidooley
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Above average now for sure. Hope Lukaku is kept quiet

    4. Yozzer
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      These posts tend to annoy more when I've scored like 25 points

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

        🙂

    5. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      -1

    6. Scout Pics
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Below average I think

  11. FISSH
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    So who makes way.... Morata or kane?

    1. Dr. DOOM
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      None?

      1. FISSH
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Nope. Look at city fixtures

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

    if you have a 0 pts player( who didn't play) first on bench and a 7 pt player second on bench playing the same position, whose points do you get on auto sub

    1. TheTwelfthMan
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      7 pts.

  13. Shirokov(c)
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Any others out there with this forward line?

    Kane - Lukaku - Firmino

    Who do we go about getting Aguero/Jesus. At least one of them seems essential.

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Firmino .> Aguero

      1. Shirokov(c)
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Oh right.

    2. TheTwelfthMan
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      I do. I'm getting Firmino out to make funds for Alexis.

    3. JONALDINHO
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      If Lukaku blanks looking at Kaku to Aguero(C). Kane has two away games in a row and Firmino will be back striker again next week

    4. MTPockets
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Seeing how this game goes. If Lukaku's on fire then Kane gone.

    5. No_Mo_Salah?
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      How did Morata look?

      1. Sim Simma
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Mustafi had him in his back pocket

      2. Brap.
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Aggrieved when he discovered what constitutes a foul in the prem

    6. Konstaapeli
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      51 with Mkhi to go. 'Appy with that after Kane captain fiasco.

    7. FFSbet.com
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Hazard back good or bad for Alonso ?
      I think he will stay more near out line to give Hazard more space and not run in box like before.

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

      How many behind at this very early stage would you start to worry about having to play catch up in your Ml's?

      1. HoserHut
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        So early.... not worrying yet

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

        My ml opponent had Kun cpt, he is 60 pts ahead now. I can reel him in cos he has so many bad players (schindler lowe okazaki dacoure moting)

      3. AndyCook
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Above 150 if they know how to play.

      4. tm245
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        BPS aren't finalized until half an hour after the match.

        1. HoserHut
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Are you saying kola could still get some?

          1. RealSocialDads
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            Highly doubt it

      5. Syd.
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Willian out for Ramsey

        Anyone got any better suggestions

        1. 1569Tippins
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Nah, I like that

      6. Sims
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        A)Alonso > Kola

        B)Lukaku > Aguero

        C) Both for -4

        1. TheTwelfthMan
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Why would you do Alonso to Kolasinac?

          1. Sims
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            Ill need 1m to upgrade hemed later on

            Kola better fixtures and more attacking too

        2. Debauchy
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Who's the Captain , B

        3. seewhyaxe
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          sounds too knee-jerky.

        4. RAFA THE GAFFA
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Don't like either! Let Lukaku play first too

      7. Guy Demel
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        So after all the bitching and moaning on here friday, it turns out Bournemouth vs Brighton was one of the most entertaining games this week after all.

        Still people seem to turn a blind eye to a 0-0 stalemate when it's the top teams involved...

        1. diesel001
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          First half of Bou-Bri was tripe.

        2. TheTwelfthMan
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Ignore the scoreline, it was an end to end game with chances for both sides and some action till the very end.

        3. FPL Blow-In
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Sorry but you don't have any interest in football just fantasy football if you think that was a bad watch.

      8. MarkoSD

        davis in atack, essential 🙂

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

        As a non-captain Lukaku owner, is it better if he does not score for OR? I have Mkhi too.

        1. diesel001
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Mkhi haul, Lukaku blank ideal

          1. beetlejuice
            • 6 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            Yeah that would be lovely.

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

          EO is 98% or so. SO you just want him todo well.

          I'm in a similar position (having captained Kane) I'd ideally want Lukaku to score 6-10 points.

      10. Shirokov(c)
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Got rid of Alonso and Atsu on my WC, go me.

      11. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Be nice if Mkhi gets a shed load of points today

        1. Tim Canterbury
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          He won't...

          1. Konstaapeli
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            He could. And it would be nice.

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

          +1

          Bony - I think he'll come good and Swansea have nice fixtures.

        Mkhi vs Baines +1

        H2H. Who wins?

        (Kolasinac yc ruined my cushion?

        1. TheTwelfthMan
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          I think it's a tie worst case for the Mkhi guy.

          1. Sánchez
            • 11 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            I'm mkhi one

      15. RealSocialDads
        • 7 Years

        Ramsey a decent option?

        1. Syd.
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          I am considering it. I need to get rid of Willian

      16. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Im a chelsea fan but found this funny :3
        Chelsea have got a fantastic replacement for Diego Costa. Morata is a cute cry baby while Costa is a dirty cry baby.
