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.

    Anyone else hoping for 1-1 with 2 no name players scoring?

      Excited about the final later tonight?

      1. ALegendJ
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Actually no, but I'm moving there soon, just checking how popular FPL and premier league there is 😀 (Yes, that's my main concern)

        1. Pierce34
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Ah ok - I was referring to Slovenia vs. Serbia in the final of the Eurobasket btw.

          1. ALegendJ

            Yea, been remotely following the results, big match that, you from there?

            1. Pierce34
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 1 month ago

              No, Greece, we missed out by losing at the quarter-final.

                Unlucky. Slovenia Serba should be a good spectacle though

    4. RÏɠBY

      or LAIBACH as it used to be known 😉

  8. Kuqi Monster

    Did Monreal have a shot on target?

    1. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      No

  9. VFORVANDETA
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Bellerin cant cross decent ball.

  10. FPL ZB
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    The Bellerin Kola double up could have potential

    1. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Bavies > Bellerin possible in the next couple weeks

      1. VS10_
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Too late.

  11. Debauchy
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Looks like Wenger has got most of the dressing room back , Cmon Alexi lets make it all

  12. Bubz
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Conte needs to bring Bakayoko and Hazard on

    1. Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      As long as Willian makes the 60 , every point needed

    2. Ziro
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      No he doesn't. He needs to change nothing and lose this match.

    3. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I agree. Fabregas hadn't played bad, but Bakayoko is a prescene they really need in midfield.

      Hazard - no explanation required.

  13. Cok3y5murf
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Still hoping for a cheeky Kolasinac CS 😉

    1. Norman Conquest
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      same

    2. Totalfootball
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Chelsea will score at home

  14. R.C.
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Average game

  15. R.C.
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Bring on Sanchez and Hazard already, spoiling my Sunday

  16. Kloppen Schloppen
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Luiz dead

    1. HoserHut
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      He's just acting like always

  17. Jafooli
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    What's the story with Sanchez on the bench? Trouble at mill?

    1. Ziro
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Tired legs. 😎

      1. Jafooli
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        His or someone else's?

        1. Ziro
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Alexis doesn't do tired. 😛

    2. Jafooli
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      And no Wengo, it's not tactical

    3. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      He's too Wayne Rooney at the mo

      1. Jafooli
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Constantly drunk and farming the neighbours fields?

        1. FlockofSeagulls
          • 7 Years

          😆

  18. pakornk
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Kola, Bertrand and Bavies are such beasts. Glad to have them in my team.

    1. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Bertrand too expensive with Saints not scoring. May as well have Cedric, or neither. They won't get 3/5 CSs over the next 5 (probably)

    2. Kun Tozser
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Bertrand > Lascelles looks decent to save some cash over the next 5

  19. Sims
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Alonso doesn't look like a 7m option when Chelsea are not in control. Hazard back should help

  20. Jafooli
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone else still Super-pissed with Kane?

    Aguero owners need not reply, thanks.

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I'm super duper angry with him

    2. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Nah..he's doing his part
      Will keep faith

    3. Red Dagger ✪
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Very. Done with him. Had him since the start. Gone this week he is...

    4. Ziro
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Naughton coming on for me. 😎

      1. RubberDucky
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Same here and is my 3rd Sub.

          Slightly helps Kane captaincy

      2. MTPockets
          7 years, 1 month ago

          I'm still throwing toys out my pram.

        • *sigh*
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah but unlucky again with hitting the bar and a decent penalty shout

        • Legomané
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah, but more because he's not punishing ML rivals than not getting me points 🙂

        • Red Dagger ✪
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          I will trade him for someone who scores in September 😉

        • HoserHut
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Yes but still keeping ... fixtures too tasty

        • Pierce34
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Yes. Very. No joke, Kane has blanked every time I've captained him. Ever. Yesteday + 4 times last year, + 2 times the year before.

        • RÏɠBY
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          think i'll just avoid captaining him when he plays wembley

        • Bird Raymond
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Yes, comimg round to thinking that Jesus/Morata/Lacazette and spending the change on upgrades elsewhere will be better value.

          1. Bird Raymond
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            If you can't be confident captaining a 12.5 player at home against poor opposition then what is the point?

            1. Nat89
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 1 month ago

              he has hit the post in two games he blanked and in newcastle game missed from a few yards out. if those go in your kissing is behind.

              1. Bird Raymond
                • 13 Years
                7 years, 1 month ago

                You could say something similar about Joselu.

          2. Nat89
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            why lacazette? he had looked nowhere near as dangerous as Kane

            1. Bird Raymond
              • 13 Years
              7 years, 1 month ago

              I just meant that if he started firing he'd be good value at his price over Kane, i.e. same price range as the other 2. Wouldn't go for him at the moment.

      3. HoserHut
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        As a Ramsey & Kola owner im encouraged after yesterday's spurs triple up failure

      4. Greko82
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        0-0 for me. Have alonso and kola. 3bp each and we are having a good day!

      5. FlockofSeagulls
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Lacazette doesn't strike me as an Alexandre.

        1. Legomané
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          More of a Hugo

          1. FlockofSeagulls
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            I was thinking Oliver.

        Half time musings- how about these WC moves?
        _
        Foster > Elliot
        Myhill > Fabianski (or 4.0?)

        So far back in ML I'm avoiding picks like Jesus and Kolasinac in favour of ML differentials. Thoughts very much appreciated - cheers!

        1. HoserHut
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Gotta have kola I think. Ownership not massive and could be a season keeper

          1. Legomané
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Every man and his dog in my ML already has him

            1. HoserHut
              • 10 Years
              7 years, 1 month ago

              10,7%

              Sorry just saw you referred to your ML only...

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years

          Like the team but I'll still wait till the IB for WC

          1. Legomané
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Do you like the guys I'm shifting? Could bank the WC and just do Kak Aké > Aguero Kolasinac this week

        3. Hotdogs
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Jesus and Kola are owned by around 10%, I'd say many of your picks have a higher ownership than them

          1. Legomané
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Talking about Mini League differentials, everyone above me has Jesus and Kola

            1. Hotdogs
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 1 month ago

              Ah I see, got it

              I'm not sold on Atsu but the rest look good to me

      9. Eddie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years

        He's striking very little.

      10. banskt
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I have exact money for Fabregas + RLC ==> Ritchie + Gross + (-4 points). Yes or No?

        Allows me to increase TV (and potential selling value as well if Ritchie and Gross keeps playing well for another week). up
        Newcastle have great fixtures coming up while Palace have been shitty anyways.

        1. FPL Blow-In
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          Just fab to Ritchie

      11. Gudjohnsen
        • 7 Years

        When Mané comes back who would you rather have in your team? Him or Alli?

        1. FPL Maldini
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Mane if Alli blanks again next week

        third striker on wc:

        1 - vardy (if healthy)
        2 - rooney
        3 - abraham

            Vardy

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Vardy all else equal.

            I think the question is what are you giving up on elsewhere to get Vardy?
