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.

    Just seen Siggy's fixtures, if he looks good in this game as striker then he could become a great option

    Is it wrong to put money on a Lukaku brace because I don't own him and want to mentally insure myself?

    1. TheTwelfthMan
      • 6 Years

      No, make it a win-win for yourself.

    What are peoples thoughs about Otamendi? Dawson -> Otamendi right?

    1. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      He could be benched if Kompany and Stones are fit and City play a back four.

    2. Bird Raymond
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      I think i'm going to embrace the top sides rotation by having a strongish playing bench on my wc.

  8. Jimmy Boy
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Mkhitaryan, Jesus, Firmino > Silva, Morata, Aguero on WC?

    1. AndyCook
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Those are not anywhere near the same price hence obviously yes but where is the 2M going?

        1. AndyCook
            6 years, 7 months ago

            In fact that's more than 2M

      • TheTinman
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        So by the law of averages there will be loads of goals in this next game?

        1. Jolly Good
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          I think city hit all the goals for this week

      • Nat89
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        so surley bertrand out for Kolasniac and Jese out for Gros is a good move next week for a hit?

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

        Luiz to miss the next 3 matches

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

          2 league games

      • drughi
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Could I be so lucky to get a mikhi haul and a lukaku blank.

        1. Jolly Good
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          This

      • Sims
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Kola is one those defenders worth a hit

        Can easily pay back the hit in the same game

        1. tajulariff
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Captain next week

        2. Drip Doctor
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Was lucky to not be sent off today. Committed a million fouls. Looks clumsy.

        3. MTPockets
            6 years, 7 months ago

            Not from Alonso though.

        4. tajulariff
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Come on Rooney you are playing at 'home'

        5. Drip Doctor
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Monreal at 5.4 could provide better value than Kolasinac. Seems to do well with Bonus points.

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

            Lucky that Kola and Bellerin got the YCs

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

            Kolasinac gets you those goals and assists though

            1. Drip Doctor
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              6 years, 7 months ago

              Depends if Alexis plays on the left, if he does, Kolasinac won't receive the ball much.

          3. drughi
            • 14 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            For sure but kola for 0.6 more is worth it I think.

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

            Kolasinac's potential for attacking returns makes him worth the extra IMO

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

            Monreal is a defender with the least attacking threat at Arsenal. Mustafi is a better choice at the same price. Nailed as well.

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

          Hat if pep thinks "chelsea away, champions league shaktar away, napoli at home. Maybe i can rest kun a bit for these easier home games"

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

            *What if

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

            This comment should automatically pop up to anyone considering selling Kane or Lukaku for Aguero.

          3. Drip Doctor
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            He'll rest him by taking him off when the game is won. Too much caution on this site, both he and Jesus will start most games.

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

            I think he will subearly instead of drop imo

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

          1.2m itb

          Alonso > Kola & Firmino > Jesus -4?

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

            Already have Salah and no City cover

            1. R.C
              • 6 Years
              6 years, 7 months ago

              Oh then try getting Silva

          2. R.C
            • 6 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            Keep both

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

            Tempting.

            Especially where you have Firm I have a potentially injured Vardy.

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

          36 with lukaku Jones mkhi to go. Could be worse

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

            You should quit FPL and FFS while you're at it.

        9. Red Devil Swede
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Sold Aguero. Captained Kane. Luiz owner. Yeah!

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

            Let me know what your plans are please. Need to avoid them

          No man kola was amazing today and goes forward so well.... I think he's worth the 6M easily

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

          Worth changing Kane & JRod to Jesus & Firmino ? No hits.

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

          Bought Mustafi yesterday to double up on Arsenal defence. Gotta say today's result was very reassuring.

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

          The good thing about ox leaving, apart from him being so useless at football, is it makes kolasinac nailed

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

            Was already gonna be nailed

            • 13 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            and a bench warmer to boot at his new digz

        14. Ay
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Blind out for a -4?

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years

          Eh...How is Bellerin on a YC and on 27BPS and Kola not anywhere near

        16. circusmonkey
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Salah and Firmino to Atsu and Aguero (next week or it will be a hit). Also got Kane, Lukaku, Alli, Mkhi. Thoughts?

          1. goriuanx
            • 13 Years

            Why get rid of the highest scoring mid?

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

              To get Aguero and they have 4 poor fixtures. Who would you get rid of from those I have?

        17. lamagica

          i'm on a wc.
          i dont have chelsea or arsenal DF.
          Kola or Cahill?

            Kola easily

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Would you start with Tadic against United or Carroll against Watford? (Both playing home)

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

            Tadic (pens)

        19. fedolefan
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Never before have I wanted a player in my team to fail this bad. Everyone, and I mean pretty much everyone in my mini-league has captained Lukaku, while I went with Kane.

        20. drughi
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Arsenal looked very solid today I must say

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

            Yeah, really surprised as an Arsenal fan. I thought we were gonna get destroyed
