Dugout Discussion – Chelsea vs Man City

3,134 Comments
Share

The day concludes with the headline act as champions Chelsea take on early pacesetters Manchester City at Stamford Bridge.

The next 90 minutes will be of huge interest for Fantasy managers, with both these teams enjoying improved fixture schedules to follow this encounter.

In attack, Sergio Aguero’s absence with a rib injury throws us a curveball but hands an opportunity for Gabriel Jesus to play his way back into our plans.

Meanwhile in opposition, Alvaro Morata will add the latest chapter to his hugely impressive start to the season. He takes 528,000 new owners into this match, having been the top transfer target ahead of today’s deadline.

There are also key assets on show in midfield, with Eden Hazard auditioning for a role in our squads with this evening’s performance – he makes his first Premier League start.

Elsewhere, David Silva and Raheem Sterling will bid to boost their burgeoning Fantasy stock as the leading scorer and assister among midfielders.

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

    Elliot | Foster**
    Alonso | Kolasinac | Davies | Bertrand** | Hune
    Eriksen | Mkhi**| Fellaini | Atsu* | Carroll*
    Kane| Lukaku | Chicarito**

    WC or not? I could survive without using it. Want to get rid of Chica even with their upcoming fixtures, he doesn't worth his price. Don't want both Mkhi and Lukaku. No City is also a concern. Want to have a plan to get someone from Pool in after GW9.

    Fabianski has great fixture, don't really like Elliot's or Foster's.

          Tricky one. One a WC, I'd suggest the following

          GKs: Elliot is a must so you'd only transfer Foster

          Def: I wouldn't touch them (apart from maybe Bertrand - but he isn't urgent because his fixtures are still good). So you're still gtg without the WC.

          Mid: Keep Eriksen for now. You'll want to keep Carroll and one of Fellaini/Atsu as you're playing 433. So only Mkhitaryan and one other as your potential transfer out.

          Fwds: Chicarito is the only one you desperately need to get out.

          Do you want to WC just to remove Mkhitaryan, Foster and Chicarito? I'd rather take a hit, possibly two or just make the moves slowly.

            Thank you for detailed answer. I agree with most of it. It's a very tricky situation 🙂 If I don't want to keep Chica even with their next 3 fixtures, he needs to go. I can't get Morata/Jesus for Chica, even if I downgrade Mkhi (would have 5.3 and that's not good enough 2nd mid).

            So Vardy would be my only option. And that would reguire gettind rid of Mkhi for a hit. Don't want to do that.

            Also, I see Swansea having a good chance for CS next game week. Elliot has Soton away, possible but still like Swansea's chances more.

            Also, Bertrand likely dropping and there are so many good option around that 5.0 - 5.2 range. I might get rid of Kolasinac as well to free some funds.

            I can see me making 7-8 chances here. Very close to click that wildcard btn 😛

        Only Chica I really want to get rid of. And it would take 2 weeks to be able to do that unless I take a hit. Lot of players I'd prefer over those I marked.

    City seem to have the best defence of the three, but otamendi loves his yellow cards.
    Kolasinac's attacking potential is above the others
    Luiz will take some freekicks (though doubt he will score one) and chelsea has solid defence.

      I'm doing KdB > Sterling next game week. Been itching to do it but glad I held off after today's goal.
