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.

    Are we all suitably seething then?

      Nope

      No pleasantly surprised considering I had Davies, Kane, Sterling Aguero and Mbemba

        Lol

          43 after bonus with 3 to play. Considering I didn't think I would get 11 playing this week I'm happy with that

      Some mental and yes totally unnecessary moves on my part for a -8 that basically brought very little gain to my score and obliviously took points off.

      But my saving grace was NOT using FH. I'd be livid if I capped Sanchez, got Laca and Arse def in etc.

      Nah 42 pts with 3 to play. Pretty happy as I'd have taken 45. Kept Kane 'n all.

    2. Danno - Emre Canada
      • 9 Years

      This is turning into a slog like last season

  15. Flying Assassins
    • 11 Years

    If I ever needed Vardy to turn up it's this GW

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

      I've captained him. Come on Vardy.

    2. The Mandalorian
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Vardy sucks balls hard can't wait to transfer him out

  16. MidTableFantasy

    Evening, struggling this season. Any suggestions?

    Elliot Gomes
    Davies Cedric Dunk (Mbembe Goldson)
    DSilva Salah Sterling Gross (TC)
    Kane Morata Jesus

    Cheers

  17. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    27 from 6 once Morata gets his extra 5 points as VC since Aguero (C) didnt feature

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

    44 with Pope to play.

    If had not played free hit would be on 10 with Pope Ward Duffy and Cedric to play so I suppose was right choice

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

      54 with 3 to play and no Free hit. Free hit was just a bandwagon.

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

    54 with Vardy, Elliot and Ward to go? How did everyone else do?

    1. the snazzy viking
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      ban

      1. Legohair
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        50 with elliot,mee and gross left.is that good or bad?

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

          looking at how everyone else has done, its pretty decent.

          1. Legohair
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 6 months ago

            Ok thanks

    2. Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      51-4 with Elliot to go, Kolasinac the hero today

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

        Hazard captain saved me. I love Kola but Sanchez hates him.

    3. Deano
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Haha link your team chief.

    4. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years

      172 with 17 still to play - is this good?

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

        absolutely horrible.

  20. Fanta sea
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    That's now 2 gameweeks in a row where my initial captain choice didn't play. First sterling and now Aguero. I sure know how to pick them.

  21. seewhyaxe
    • 7 Years

    why did Luiz lose his bp to Rudiger!!!!!!

    1. JustPark
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Bad haircut.

  22. andymck
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    42 after baps with 3 to play, I’ll take that.

      • 6 Years

        54 with 3 to play

  23. Sims
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    what were the free hit scores like?

    sane kola ramsey firmino did well but a lot of fails too

  24. MartialMatas
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Forgot to do transfers last night but it worked out well

    What should I do with this lot?

    Begovic Elliot
    Alonso Stones Jones Naughton Mee
    Eriksen Sane Sterling RLC Carroll
    Kane Lukaku Abraham

    2ft 1.1m itb wc available

    1. LordRougeGrog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      personally i d sell Alonso for Mbemba and upgrade RLC to David Silva. Triple City midfield for 4 or 5 games seems like an ok risk just as it seems that 3/4/3 is the way forward again.

    2. JustPark
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Probably nothing. Downgrade Alonso/one of mids to a Pool/sort Kane could be an option.

  25. Ambrosiana Inter
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Luiz clean sheet plus hazard 22 p as captain,week looks a lot better...41 with foster,mee,lescelles and c Lewin to play...not that I expect much of them but good

  26. Krafty Werks
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    35 post baps and bench with Elliot, Ward, Maguire, Cedric, Gross and Vardy still to play...possibilities!!

  27. money face bandwagon
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    aguero(c) against arsenal?

  28. Dr. DOOM
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Overall average is 48? Wtf?

    1. sambyy
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      What? No way

  29. The Royal Robin
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Morata or Kun > Kane?

  30. shearer9
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    15 with 5 to go, had Jesus (c). Abysmal.

    1. theroadrunner
