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.

    Question on rules

    I brought in Aguero at last minute with Kane out. I put him as captain and Kaku as vice captain.

    Since he did not play today does the captain switch to kaku or a bench player becomes captain?

      Kaku

      Kaku(c). That's why there is a VC option.

      Is this a real question?

        Just confused since Aguero didn't play a bench player would normally get substituted in.

          Bench player gets subbed in but your VC is your next captain if your captain doesn’t play

        Why would Chelsea's attackers getting chances change that?

      My real team has Kane 0, Couthino 0, Davies 1p, Aguero 0, Otamendi 1p and so on.

    Not having Morata and any Chelsea player makes you feel every attack of theirs is a goal one...
