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.

      120 mins midweek, recent return from injury, Napoli and arsenal coming up.
      But don't worry, jesus failed to impress. Kun will be no.1 for the rest of the season.

      Do you really want Morata vs the best defence in the league

      thx

      Wait for news.

      If I remove him next week it'll be for Kun(c) and I'll just have to put up with Jesus being left out.

      See what happens midweek ofc.

    5. kumast
      • 8 Years

      No guarantee he will start next GW.

    nay laddie. A potential nuclear bomb that should only be used to cover blanks or double game weeks.

    Sane last seven games. I don’t own. Gotta get.

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

      Never know when he gets left out that's the problem!

      I'll like him too. We'll see.

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

        Does it matter though? They all play 2 of 3 games, or 3 of 4, or something like that, and their total points would be very difficult to exceed through savvy in and out trades. (Little clockwork orange reference for ya there.)

    2. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years

      Yeah good option but bench headache

      75 with Ward left. Took a punt with double MU Def DDG and Jones
      Sane captain and playing RLC instead of Bavies. Luck paid off but could of ended badly. Good luck for rest of the weekend 🙂

    Kola home scores are ridiculously good

    5, 11, 6, 6, 14

    over 8ppg

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

      Yeah but Arsenal keep few cleanies. Otherwise he is a beast

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

    Who to sell for Kane?

    A) Morata
    B) Aguero

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

      Aguero, if you miust

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

      Wait for midweek pointless asking now to be honest.

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

        Fair enough.

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

      Whom you sold Kane for.

  9. Total Foot 5 - romario 11
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    best move here pls FT?
    w/ the likes of jones - aguero - davies - kane, think best use of ft would be a starting bench (have mbemba - rosenior - carroll)

    1 rosenior > mariappa (save cash)
    2 rosenior > Ward
    3 eriksen > salah

  10. Tim Canterbury
    • 12 Years

    Strikers so underwhelming atm given their premier over mids/defenders

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

      Kane, Lukaku, fodder for me now!

  11. Deano
    • 11 Years

    Did anyone on here use their Free Hit chip this week?

    1. Danno - Emre Canada
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      No yes no yes

  12. Emp
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    The main problem with jesus and kun now that i can tell is that mendy is injured. When mendy got injured kun got immediately injured afterwards and we assumed jesus and kun would play together as before when kun got back. Now that kun back its hard for pep to play them together cos he doesnt have mendy as a natural wingback to facilitate two upfront in a 3 5 2 formation and he doesnt seem to fancy danilo and probably feels depht cant play that role. So he has defaulted to only one of them upfront in a 4 3 3. Anyone agree/disagree?

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

      Pep has played Jesus on the wing and Kun up front before.

      1. Emp
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        ye but i think thats less than optimal he did that before he worked with the 3 at the back. Now i think he would prefer a natural winger in that pos instead of jesus.

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

      the problem isnt mendy it's kompany

      delph can play lwb if he can play left back

      they dont have 3 cbs atm

      1. Emp
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        and then what drop fern ?

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

      Given how well they've been doing I don't see why he'd altered the formation.

      Sterling and Sané are playing a lot better than Jesus and B. Silva so you have to feel they start with Kun against Arsenal. Sounds logical anyway 😀

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

      GK: Ederson, Bravo
      LB: Mendy, ?????
      RB: Walker, Danilo
      CB: Kompany, Otamendi, Stones, Mangala
      DM: Fernandinho, Delph
      CM: KDB, Silva, Gundogan, Toure
      LM: Sane, ?????
      RM: Sterling, Bernardo
      FW: Jesus, Aguero

      Get Sanchez for the LM slot and a new LB to cover Mendy. What a squad!

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

        In 1-2 years time, There will be no need of Sanchez. Sane will make LW position his own

    5. General_Zod
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      I agree.

      My plan is to get Aguero and Sane. I think that one of the two plays. My concern is I would like to keep DSilva but he may be the makeweight to avoid a hit.

  13. Monkey Hanger
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Anyone watch the Arsenal match?

    Was Kola anymore attacking(ie pre Sanchez) today. Or was his luck just in?

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

      Attacking as always. Also more sharp than last gameweek going forward.

      1. Monkey Hanger
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers. He seemed to lose a lot of his attacking potential once Sanchez came in. He always was outside Sanchez, but Sanchez invariably cuts in, leaving Kola a bit underused.

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

          He had a good understanding with Sanchez today.

    2. Tim Canterbury
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      More pen area pouches than any defender

      1. Monkey Hanger
        • 10 Years

        Thanks Tim.

  14. AFC49

    1. MisterMaster

  15. MisterMaster

      You're all like Arsene Wenger, can't keep up.

    3. Monkey Hanger
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      More people entering. More using sites like these. Mark becoming a TV star. None of it helps.

  22. Tim Canterbury
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Hang on a minute, suddenly CPL are the most attacking team (S'sOT) and Watford are the least??? What is going on here 😆

      Agree. Too late now though.

    4. ZeBestee

    1. Ambrosiana Inter

    2. nkhoughton

  25. FPL Maldini

    • 9 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    35 the average

    Quite happy with my 54 with 4 to play 🙂

    It’s about time for a good green arrow

  26. Emiliano Sala
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Who do you think is spurs best defender to have and why?
    Personally think it must be davies
    Poch won't treat rose well. Like what he did to walker when he expressed his desire to leave to poch.
    Trippier and aurier are so much risky to have and bench headache

    1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Toby.

      No clue about his price though, used to be pricey

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

        All three of the Spurs centre halfs are 6m.

    2. Tim Canterbury
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      If Rose plays the palace game its curtains

    3. @fpl_phenom
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      I’m sick of this will he won’t he rubbish so considering Kolasinac > Toby next week if there’s no other pressing issues... ie Kane still injured

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

      bavies has started 1 game in last 3 and u think others are risky

    5. *sigh*
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Toby

  27. #FPLBhuna
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Any changes for next gw?

    Forster
    Walker Cedric Trippier Davies Maguire
    Sane Hazard
    Kane(c) Morata Vardy

    Bench: Elliot, Carroll, Surman, Carrick

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

      Depends on which Spurs defenders play v Real Madrid and whether Kane OK to play v Palace. No Liverpool attack v West Ham May be issue

    2. @fpl_phenom
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Nice team! Perfect if Kane’s fit and Trippier and Davies play ....

  28. Bobadoba
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    1. Diouf, Sanchez > Kane, Doucoure (4 point hit) (already have Richarlison)

    2. Diouf, Sanchez, Morata > Kane, Eriksen, Abraham (8 point hit)

    Which one looks best?

  29. @persecuted_by_mods
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Top tip, make early moves as it's impossible anything to affect your team will happen midweek

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

        Heh.

        Also don't make transfers at 2AM, especially when 2AM UK time really is the middle of the night.
