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.

    46 with Pope and Mahrez to play.

    Not fantastic but given the average will be low I'll take that.

      6 years, 6 months ago

      Depends on your rank. It's just above the average.

    2. asquishypotato

      • 10 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      If you are 5 million then green.

  5. diesel001

    38 post BAPS with Vardy(c) and Dunk to go. I'll take it.

      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

    Elliot Fabianski
    Jones Otamendi Kiko Cedric Martina
    Eriksen Salah Silva Ritchie Caroll
    Morata Jesus Rooney

    Thinking an ice and tasty minus 8 pending injury news

    1. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Log off, have a beer and see what happens tomorrow. Then decide.

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

        I'm with 39 and having a glass of wine. Good advice .

    2. Clintymints
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Have 6 beers and decide later

    3. JustPark
      • 8 Years

      Where's the pressing issue?

  7. ★Kuntheman★
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Fabianski (Elliot)
    Azpilicueta Stones Jones Ward Monreal
    Salah Sterling (Fellaini, Loftus-Cheek, Carroll)
    Kane Aguero Morata
    0.1 in the bank

    Best move?
    A) Monreal+Fabianski>Moreno+De Gea
    B) Sterling+Monreal>Sane+Maguire
    C) Monreal+Fellaini>Mariappa+Richarlison

    1. Rudy
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      B probably but wait for midweek minutes for city

  8. AFC49
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Kolasinac replacement (6.1)?

    Other defenders: Jones, Cedric, Ward, Mariappa.

    1. Begbie.
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Did he get injured?

      1. Sterling is £11Mill..…
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        foot fall off

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

      I have kola but not sure do i want to sell him

      1. lugs
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        his injury could be a blessing in disguise , if out for next week that means i can bench him without any regrets

    3. fancy111
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      How bad was his injury? Lots of people wanting him out...

    4. The Yorkshire Pirlo
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      I'm looking at Toby A or Daniels. Can't make my mind up

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

    How to get Sane?

    Fabianski-Elliot
    Kola-Jones-Davies-Mee-Mbemba
    Salah-Sterling-Gross-Richarlison-Carrol
    Kane-Aguero-Firmino
    1 FT. 0.2 in the bank.

    1. Begbie.
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Salah to Sane?

      Or, Firmino to Abraham and upgrade Gross or Richarlison.

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

        Dont want to sell salah.and dont know do i want abraham or other cheap forward.i guess by downgrading kola its possible but dont want to lose him neither even couple of tough games coming.

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

      Sleep well, eat well and don't forget your meds and appointments.

  10. FootballFanatic365
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    silva could have scored 3

    1) keep

    2) Sell

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

      2

    2. Bunk Moreland
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Thats my conundrum too... not that he deserves to get sold, but I need 0,8m to get Kane in and Silva seems the opportune sell.

    3. Clintymints
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      And assisted

      Tempted to sell for Sane. Heart says yes brain says nope

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

      I'll keep unless Hazard starts getting consistently big scores.

    5. Yankee Toffee
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      1

  11. FC Hakkebøf
    • 7 Years

    Elliot (krul)
    Jones Gomez Naughton Cameron (TAA)
    Eriksen Salah Sterling (RLC Caroll)
    Aguero Jesus Morata

    1 ft 1.9 itb

    I want Kane back if fit. I could do sterling + jesus to Kane + pedro if Kanes drops.. but with Sterling getting a goal today im not so sure he is the right player to ditch...any suggestions?

  12. The Yorkshire Pirlo

    Is DSilva to Sané a good early “risk” move as looks like .2 m swing tonight and if wait until after CL game could not afford

    1. Clintymints
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Everyone with SIlva is in a similar boat

      It's gona be a hard call. Especially after most being burned for early transfer this week

    2. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      You laid out the tradeoffs....rest is your risk appetite.

  16. Sterling is £11Mill..…
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Y did I put Speroni in goal what was i thinking, Elliot on my bench lol

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

      You're not alone. I've had an absolute brain fart last night. Played Dann over Dunk. Bloody Scout picks turned my head.

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

        In before anyone chimes, I am only blaming myself.

      2. Sterling is £11Mill..…
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Well my thinking was Palace were at home, and will probably start getting some results so thought posibility of a cs is real especially with Speroni trying to retain no1 spot. But yea no, too much logic right there.
        Palace have never once in like 5 years ever done anything positive to my fantasy team, and they always seem to sneak in every season. Mainly because I get brain washed by people on this site, in fairness no-one told me get Speroni or play him, I just had him and Elliot since season start expecting Speroni might get games. But players like Dann and Zaha are so over rated on here its unreal, its like the Crystal Palace fan club when they arent waving their West Brom and Rondon flags. At the start of the seaosn I fall for the "Dann is playing as striker bs"...

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

    Ideas on this lot please

    Elliot - 3.9
    Kolasinac - Otamendi - Jones - Tarkowski - 3.9
    Salah - Sterling - Richarlison - RLC - Carroll
    Aguero - kane - Vardy

    2.3m itb and 1 FT.

    1. fedolefan
      • 9 Years

      Save or Kane to Lukaku if you need the money.

    2. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Wait on Kane news IMO.

  18. troller
    • 10 Years

    abraham or richarlison

  19. Hotdog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    Played the free hit because i had no strikers and my original team scored 10 points more!
    Hate this game sometimes

    1. FootballFanatic365
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      panic!!!!!!

  20. XabiAlonso
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Time to sell alonso finally - best replacement
    A)Toby A
    B)Jones/Valencia
    C)any other

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

      CS tonight. I can't stand him. Sold him before tonights game. Thought Bournemouth would score.

    2. skriniar
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      trippier

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

      Toby slightly edge Jones because of his fragility.

  21. FootballFanatic365
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    sterling and silva

    1 Keep both

    2 keep one (which)

    3 sell both (-4)

  22. Only a Hazard of time
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Anyone who watched the Arsenal match, how did Lacazette play? For his price, his returns just aren't good enough.

    1. FootballFanatic365
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Arsenal plays cross to Laca and Through balls to Giroud

      Nuff said

    2. MR SUNSHINE
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      He needs to score twice to get any bonus so for that reason I sold about 2 weeks ago. Much better strikers out there

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

    Jesus to Morata?

    Just know Jesus will be in the bench next weekend.
