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.

        play MPhillips against arsenal?

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

          With 3 at the back I think they're solid enough to keep him out.

  3. FISSH
    • 11 Years

    Lukaku please blank. Proper sofa hiding time

    1. Lone Wolf
      • 7 Years

      Lukaku (c) here

    2. Cookie Kid

      Same. Haven't had him all season...

    Luiz got a yellow card and then a straight red.

    Rules say
    " Red Cards

    If a player receives a red card, they will continue to be penalised for goals conceded by their team.

    Red card deductions include any points deducted for yellow cards "

    My reading of this should have him at -4 instead of -3 for the red. Thoughts?

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

      The -3 *includes* the -1 for a yellow.

      1. fitzy
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Would be perfectly fair if he got two yellows, however they are different incidents.

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

          But the rules say that's irrelevant.

          1. fitzy
            • 12 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            Wording of that is hazy and left up to interpretation.

    2. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Red card deductions ""include"" any points deducted for yellow cards

  5. Effendi007
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Any reason I should keep Pedro if he's still fit?

    1. Lone Wolf
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      just one - forgot to make a transfer

      1. Effendi007
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Had me burst out laughing sir thank you.
        Will have 8.1 to play with. Who should i get or should i get a cheapie to upgrade a striker?

        1. Lone Wolf
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Silva is 8.2 sadly. No good mids at that price.
          Get Ritchie or some 5.5 lad nad upgrade stiker

          1. Effendi007
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            Is getting Sterling too much of a stretch ?

      2. Plant Based FPLer
        • 7 Years

        Haha

  6. Tommyg

    So I think we all know Lukaku is gonna score well today don't we.

    Captained Kane

      It's written in the stars. In poo. So did I.

    At work, anything of note happen in the game? Ta 🙂

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

      2 clear cut chances for Ramsey and Pedro, otherwise the defensive performances were really good on both ends.

    2. Lone Wolf
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Willian and Pedro rotation risk, Hazard is closer to first XI, Kolaisnac is a nice pick at that price, Iwobi is useles, Sanchez is not there yet, David Silva is a moron.

      1. Lone Wolf
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        *David Luiz

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

      Laca missed a sitter. Ramsey looked dangerous,

      1. I am 42
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        1 chance in the 2nd half?

    4. Wild Rover

      Cheers gents

      1. Debauchy

        Wenger has the dressing room back

    5. Plant Based FPLer
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Morata not looking world class. Hazard worth picking up if funds permit. Arsenal defence strong.

      Took me a while to realise it was a boot

      1. Wilshere Knowledge
        • 10 Years

        Maybe the boot was made out of a turtle.

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

    Which option do you prefer on WC? (both costs the same).

    A) Silva Atsu Cedric Naughton.

    B) Ritchie Gross Kolasinac Maguire.

    Should I get rid of Maguire?

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      No

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

        He keeps disappointing although hes a great player

    2. Effendi007
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Nope great fixtures in the long run plus a suspect Liverpool team

    1. Plant Based FPLer
      • 7 Years

      Who would u have picked? I can't think of anyone myself. Bellerin maybe?

    Is Mbemba nailed on? Any other 4.0s nearly/temporarily nailed on?

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

      Not for long but may be cause he has been good

      1. Effendi007
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Rosenior is a possibility with Bruno out but Mbemba still the better option

      Mariappa played yesterday

  17. Fred54
    • 9 Years

    Lost Atsu, Bertand and Lukaku on WC. Didn't bother going for the simple Pogba > Mikhi switch.

    Cleary a bit of a wrist slitter...

  18. FlockofSeagulls
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Keeping the 5-2-3 formation dream alive. 😆

    40pts with Lukaku, Mkhi and Jones to play. That's with a Bavies 0 as well.

    20pts between them would be nice. 🙂

    1. PocketZola

    1FT, 0.5 ITB, thoughts?

    Foster, Elliot

    Jones, Cedric, Naughton, Lowton, Simpson

    Alli, Salah, Mkhi, Atsu, Carroll

    Kane, Morata, Firmino

  21. magnolia21
    • 6 Years

    Who has a better midfield than me?

    Foster/ Elliot

    Trippier/Bertrand/Ake/Valencia/Humenier

    Allli/Silva/Atsu/Chopu/Ritchie

    Kane/ Lukaku/Chicharito

    Haha yeah my midfield is pretty bad. My team is a mess but I'll be wildcarding in couple of weeks. Lets see how this team does in the next couple of weeks.

  22. George Sillett
    • 8 Years

    A red for Lukaku would be a right result today.
