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.

      Yeah. I hate it when any of my players make an effort.

    3. Meinhoff

      Cause he wants to be different

    Worst thing about that pen miss is that Salah might be off pens now. That was his chance to cement himself as the no.1.

    1. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Hopefully everyone will stop having a bash over Richarlson now.

              Hopefully Vardy rips it up for Puel and my shocking double double defence does something Sunday/Monday.

    2. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 7 Years

      He's still a great option.

      1. the snazzy viking
        • 7 Years

        Not a great captaincy choice though

    3. Rainer

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

      Exactly, hopefully everyone else forgets him. He's the best player at that price since Michu and Mahrez!

              I always look at his team and think how does he still have that player.

              He's patient like if it was me I'd throw the head.
