Dugout Discussion – Bournemouth vs Chelsea

Saturday’s events end at the Vitality Stadium with AFC Bournemouth hosting champions Chelsea.

A high profile fixture for Fantasy managers, it’s importance has been elevated by Harry Kane’s injury which helped to spark 320,000 investors in Alvaro Morata. More than 132,000 of those arrived from the Spurs striker.

Morata disappointed on his return to Chelsea’s XI against Watford at Stamford Bridge, producing a single point from a 60-minute display. But four of his six goals for the Blues have arrived on the road and the Spaniard has had more big chances in away matches than any other player.

Eden Hazard is the other prize asset on show. He’s considered to dip in points output away from home, having scored 12 of his 16 goals last season on home turf. Yet to score this season, the Belgian boasts four goals in his last three matches against the Cherries.

Fantasy interest in Eddie Howe’s side is somewhat limited, with Charlie Daniels their top owned player; he is part of 9.3% of squads, though 45% of his managers have benched him for this evening’s clash.

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

    Gentle reminder about the fact that NOBODY CARES ABOUT YOUR AWFUL LUCK SOB STORY mid-way through play. Show some freakin' dignity, restraint and patience and don't be a massive grown-up baby

    Good luck Morata captainers!

      Disagree entirely.

      If we can't post our stories of FPL highs and lows then why bother being considered a community.

        That's what happens with this generation. He's right. Full of grown up babies here on matchdays.

        they're not stories, they're ill-considered, premature sob stories that start in the 30th minute and continue throughout the match, clogging up this place like vomit in a sink

    God Watford looked horrible today. I think the Chelsea loss deflated the team a little.

      Yeah, eyeing up Kiko to Daniels over the IB.

    Salah nicking a pen off Bobby fooking made me kick the cat

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

      Bobby on the next unless Milner is on the pitch I reckon, keep Bobby, lose the cat!

      1. Eton Rifles
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        was more of a push with the leg than a kick.

        I love my cat

      Klopp said Salah was on pens weeks ago

      1. Eton Rifles
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        missed that

    3. KJT123
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Klopp did say that Salah is his penalty taker.

    Why is Ake playing vs his parent club?! Can't believe Bournemouth are so disrespectful on Remembrance Sunday, at least respect the rules.

    1. Own Goal
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      The £20million transfer fee that Bournemouth paid to Chelsea entitles them to play Ale.

  15. Rainer

    How badly do you need Burnley - Toon to be 0-0?

    1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 7 Years

      It would be great. Unless Ritchie and Mee score.

  19. HD7

    6 years, 6 months ago

    All of us who held Kane and didnt take hits for Laca Aguero or Morata... only Morata needs to be quiet and we can smile and say “ Told ya”

    1. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      I own both, so I would prefer a Morata haul.

    2. pundit of punts
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Here's hoping.

    3. Pep says
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Or you can just say nothing and stop being a twat. I've held Kane btw..

    4. Nascimento
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      You also need him to hold his value and be fit for next week.

      1. Pep says
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Value ismtvreally an issue when so far RLC has got 5 pts and lots of people took hits for 0,1 and 2 pts

      2. Hibbo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Who cares about his value if he drops once he might as well drop twice for me who knows he could play against Palace.

    5. Point-one short
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      I captained Jesus. I'm in no position to mock.

    6. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Can you search through your history and find the post where you said to hold Kane? I can't be arsed.

  20. pundit of punts
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Vardy, Elliot and Tarkowski to go for me.

    Make me proud lads.

    Dang, I wish my fantasy team did as well as my draft team. Currently on 54 with Cahill and Pedro to go. Tells me I have no clue on the fantasy side. Sane, Chicharitto, Jones, Zaha, Ramsey.
