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.

      Looks like it.....very petulant display.

        I think he is going to dropped or at least rotated alot from now on

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

          Heard he will be sold in the November window?

    Pedro has been extremely frustrating today

    I was going to do Chalobah > Hazard for a hit but alas I was 6.0m short..

    Always the way

    1. Colonel Shoe 肝池

      I sometimes do that just to taunt myself at how bad my TV is

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

        I couldn't even afford to do Kane > Firmino 😐

    2. Les Bleus
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      I hate when that happens. I mean 7.0m short is a bit too much, but 6.0m only?! That’s just unlucky.

    Alonso 😆

    Come on Hazard you fatty, grab another.

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

      Quarter pounder?

  12. aarrgghh
    • 7 Years

  13. Sim Simma

    Another groin injury...this time Afobe

  14. Oven Glover
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    First Stanislas groin injury, now Afobe groin injury. What went down in the Bournemouth dressing room at half time?

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

      Stanislas and Afobe it seems.

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

        Ha ha

      2. Oven Glover
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Defoe didn’t even leave the dressing room. The plot thickens...

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

      Lunge-off?

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

    Calum Wilson take a bow

  16. Alnair
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Fabregas is being a toolbag

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

      Yes he is a good utility player.

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

      with 98 passes, I think not

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

        With 0 being effective. Morata has been in behind loads of times but Fabregas keeps producing a bad ball.

  17. Differentiator
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Could really do with a late Morata assist or goal

  18. The Mandalorian
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Hazard proving who the bap monster is in the Chelsea team while Morata holds the Belgians coat....

    1. Les Bleus
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Morata will climb back up after his goal.

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

    Wilson essential

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

      Bob?

  20. Alan_T
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Wilson wagon?

    Jut 5.9

  21. Flynny
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Whatever view on sane?

    We all been staying clear while he sweeps up the points,,,

    But it will be his turn for rest eventually....

  22. PogChamp
    • 12 Years

    Hazard(c) digging me out of a hole. Another would be nice.

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

    Chelsea's upcoming fixtures look really nice. Who are the top three players you'd have?

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Maybe Morata, maybe Hazard

      1. Oven Glover
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        You got a decent mid in Hazard to go with your Tammy, Kane & Kaku front. No mids from United worth having.

        1. Oven Glover
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          For Mr Dingo of course

    2. Chandler Bing
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Hazard, Morata, Azpi in that order

    3. Dannyb
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Haz, Morata and Azpi.

    4. JustPark
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Courtois currently. Took a price drop on him already. Trying to figure out whether to save or switch to DDG(double up with Jones).

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

    Drinkwater coming on... No Batshuayi

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

    Azpi , what a save

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

      Hand ball?

  26. Guy Demel
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Lukaku > Wilson -8

    Not even waiting for full time.

  27. buttigieg93
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Hazard or Morata long term?

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

      You Maltese?

      1. buttigieg93
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah;)

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

      Hazard, Morata is jinxed

    3. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Hazard for sure, much more explosive and bosses the bps

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

      both

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

    Hopefully Pedro off

  29. JustPark
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Took out Hazard and Ladapo for Ri(c)harlison and Diouf. Kinda feel bad but to fund Morata for Vardy in gw12. 😐
