The Technical Area – Alonso vs Azpilicueta

Fresh from a comfortable 4-0 demolition of West Brom – their fourth successive Premier League victory – interest in Chelsea’s Fantasy assets is beginning to accelerate.

After a challenging opening schedule that pitted them against Spurs, Manchester City and Arsenal over the first seven Gameweeks, the Blues now enter the kindest window of their season’s fixture schedule.

    Elliot (Foster)

    Otamendi Dann Mee (Wimmer Naughton)

    Alli Salah Sterling Richarlison (Carroll)

    Kane Lukaku Joselu

    What to do with 1 FT (0.7m ITB)

    a) Save (and get Hazard/Morata next week for free)
    b) Joselu > Wilson
    c) Other

    Likelihood that Jones starts against Brighton?

          Lloyd Christmas reference. Have my +1

  3. built_this_city
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    I'll do it later but absolutely no reason not to do Aguero -> Morata today?

    1. HVT
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Think so at this stage, pity we missed the swings tho....

    2. Feed tha Sheep
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      No point doing it today if no prices changes might as well wait until tomorrow incase of injury in training

      1. built_this_city
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        I dont think its worth the risk of losing .1 on Aguero, the first drop didnt affect me

        1. Feed tha Sheep
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          Why is he going down tonight?if not you may as well wait until tomorrow

          1. built_this_city
            • 6 Years

            over 60% now

  4. Ode
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Eriksen -> Sane -4? Would captain him too.

    1. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      You’ve held Eriksen this long I wouldn’t do that now. Spurs have one of the best run of fixtures now.

      Would keep him for atleast a couple of games now he could be the next bandwagon.

    2. _figu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      I wouldn't. WBA looks horrendous

    3. HVT
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Fwiw I’m keeping Alli even when the likes of Sane/Pogba are staring me in the face!

      1. Dazzleraz
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Me too. Have 2 free transfers available and was all set to do Alli, stones and Jesus to Pogba Alonso and Morata but after the champions league games think im just going stones to Trippier and will review next week

  5. fplking14
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    best replacement for jones, thinking mustafi?

    1. ScotDougie
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Going Mustafi myself need to wait on pressers though

    2. ScotDougie
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Smalling another option

      1. fplking14
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        yeah was thinking smalling as well but i think he can be a rotation risk with bailly back

    3. 404_FC
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      i get kola

    4. HVT
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Think ahead, Alonso/Azpi.

    5. GoonerByron
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Mustafi for his price.. I've gone Bellerin personally, bit of a differential and a lot less likely to lose out to rotation than Kolasinac when the games start coming thick and fast imo..

    6. Jay Arell
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Arsenal defender with almost no bonus potential? Sure

  6. ScotDougie
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Anybody when the pressers are a day early ?

  7. Do I Not Like Orange
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    In a 3-5-2 from GW14 onwards, would you rather have:

    A) RLC & Alonso?
    B) Richarlison & Mee?

    1. Judders
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      A hands down

    2. acidicleo
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Close call..
      A due to Alonso

    3. _figu

      A

  8. Regin
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    is it now time to get hazard? He looks back in good form.
    After Friday deadline should I do Eriksen & Lukaku OUT for Hazard & Morata for 2 FT?

    I have exactly enough money to do this.

    1. HVT
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Sameish after deadline

  9. FCSB
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Bottomed:

    Speroni
    Daniels Jones Moreno
    Salah Sterling Fernandinho Richarlison
    Kane Lukaku Aguero

    Pope Mee Carroll Hunemeier

    1 FT, 0 ITB

    What to do here?

    Or am I GTG for this week, and save FT (as I plan to bring in Morata or Hazard next week)?

    Thanks

  10. acidicleo
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Best Jones strategy?
    1 FT... Budget 6.1..
    Other def: Alonso / Daniels / Kiko / Ward

    A) Save FT and play kiko / ward
    B) Ota
    C) Mustafi
    D) Any other defender

      1 easily.

    7. J T

      1

  13. ZeBestee
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    any better player in the 6-7m range better than Wilson and Niasse long term?

    1. _figu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Azpi Alonso Richarlison Gross Ramsey

      1. ZeBestee
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        forward sorry

        1. _figu
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          short term I'd punt on Wilson

    2. J T
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Rashford if you can find .6

  14. _figu
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Would like to have couple more comments. Tempted to do option 2. Doubt Burnley keeps cs and Otamendi for next 3 (hud SOU WHA) looks great whereas our fixtures after Brighton aren't that easy (wat ars MCI)

    Elliot
    Daniels JONES Fernandez
    Hazard Salah Eriksen Richarlison RLC
    Kane Lukaku

    Pope Ward Duffy Quaner
    1 FT 0.2 ITB

    1) Eriksen to Sane
    2) Eriksen > Sane, Jones > Ota (-4)
    3) Save

    1. HVT
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      2, personally I’d keep Erik this week tho if possible

      1. _figu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah but I don't see another way to get Sané and he's too good to avoid imo

    2. Longlatini
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      I'm keeping Eriksen for next few games at least (but already have Sane ;))

      1. _figu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Would keep but want Sané 🙂

    3. Reuser
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Burnley have shown themselves capable of keeping clean sheets against top sides - it could happen.

      But I would lean towards 2 - both perfectly capable of scoring well and making the -4 seem arbitrary.

      1. _figu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks. I have a good feeling about it and think Kane is enough Spurs for now even with their upcoming fixtures. No City is more risky

        1. Longlatini
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          Go with your good feeling!

      2. Pasqualinho
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        They haven't kept a CS against top sides yet, though - all their cleanies have been against the chaff. Some would say Arsenal are chaff, though.

        1. _figu
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          Yea and Arsenal looked actually good against Spurs.

    4. A19
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      2 but after this GW. Eriksen could have a big haul against WBA. Play Ward for Jones, Burnley at home are capable of a CS against Arsenal

      1. _figu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        More worried Sané exploding.

  15. Reuser
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Any thoughts on the following options?

    A) Jones to Mustafi
    B) Jones and Naughton to Mustafi and Daniels -4 (bench RLC)

    Elliot (Myhill)
    Azpi, Mee, Jones*, Naughton, (Mbemba)
    Salah, Sterling, Richarlison, (RLC, Carroll)
    Morata, Lukaku, Kane

    Thanks.

    1. _figu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      A, play RLC

      1. Reuser
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks - needed a reality check.

        1. _figu
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          what about Jones to Daniels? Is 4 gameweeks too short term for your liking?

    2. HVT
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      A, Daniels will do next week

  16. arndff_
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Locked in. 0FT, 0.8ITB

    DDG
    Ota Daniels Naughton
    Salah DSilva Richarlison RLC
    Kane(C) Lukaku(VC) Morata

    Elliot Tarroll Mee Long

    Maybe going for Naughton > Mustafi next GW.

    1. _figu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      g2g

      1. arndff_
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Naughton > Mustafi
        or
        Naughton, Long > 2x 4.5

        1. _figu
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          you have nailed players so I'd go Mustafi. I think I'm actually keeping Fernandez (swa). Might need him gw15/16 and don't think transferring him out is needed especially if you play 3 at the back.

          Would Long -> 4.5 work?

  17. Longlatini
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Double Burnley defence too much vs Arsenal?
    Other option is Elliot (WAT)

    1. UnitedFan
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Play Elliot and spead the risk.

    2. _figu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Elliot but unlikely that either keeps cs

    3. Longlatini
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Cheers, was thinking the same

    4. My Name Is Prince
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Elliot for Mee

  18. acidicleo
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Give Vardy one last chance v West ham..
    Was going to do niasse but will wait now due to ban..

    Yay or Nay

    1. _figu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Keep

    2. slamdunk
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      In same boat as you,i think even if Niasse was not suspended i would want Vardy against that West Ham team

  19. The Left Duke #3
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Would love your thoughts on my team with 1 FT & 1.4m ITB and a lot of uncertainty moving forward with rotation (Kun Gomez Carroll).

    Elliot Speroni
    Daniels Mee Kiko Gomez Dunk
    Salah Silva Richarlison Gross Carroll
    Kane Kun Morata

    A) Kun --> Kaku (which feels strange with MC v Hud)
    B) Carroll --> RLC (strengthen bench, maybe start RLC over Gross this week)
    C) Kiko --> Otamendi
    D) Something else
    E) Save FT and reassess with 2FT midweek

    1. Jay Arell
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Starting 11 looks good, the worry is the bench as you say. Would personally save FT this week and hope either Kun or Gomez plays.

      1. The Left Duke #3
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        I don't think I have it in me to get rid of Kun when MC are playing Hudd.
        My DF isn't in good shape this week with Dunk away to MU and Gomez against Chelsea with Morata in my team. Kiko flagged but nailed so will wait and see with pressers. Did Otamendi to Daniels last min last week and worked out well so maybe bringing Ota back in for his 3 nice fixtures could work out well.

        1. _figu
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          I like option D.

          Don't think it's good time to bring in Kaku. Maybe after City if he looks good option but honestly think Pogba is better value for money

          1. The Left Duke #3
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 5 months ago

            Ya this is true, Maybe saving FT and then using 2FT midweek by downgrading Kun and doing Carroll to Pogba.

  20. seewhyaxe
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Anyone has Kane and is not captaining him this week?

    What are your alternatives?

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Lukaku

    2. My Name Is Prince
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Sane

    3. Longlatini
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Sane

    4. Longlatini
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Possibly Salah...

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

      ...but will probably go with Kane (again)!!

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

      Kane or Sané. Doubt I'll go Kaku. So if you have him, captain.

    7. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Sane

  21. Duffy Dunk
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Ryan Elliot
    Otamendi Jones Daniels Tarkowski Mbemba
    Salah Sane Richarlison Gross Carroll
    Kane Lukaku Morata

    1 FT, 0.2 itb

    A) Jones->Mustafi (for free)
    B) Keep Jones and have Tarkowski as first sub

    1. wulfrunian
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      A.You will start Gross or TC?

  22. HD7
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Is Mustafi nailed?

    1. _figu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      Think so

  23. Stimps
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    Best defender under 4.7m, already have Mee, Daniels

  24. jpb333
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    i need help.. please, really struggling!

    need to ship Jones and really want Sane for Sterling, as also have Aguero and don’t want to risk rotation of both this weekend. Aguero going for Morata soon.

    Have exact money for..
    A. Sterling and Jones to Sane and Dunk (other 4.4) -4

    or could go for -8 and do
    B. Sterling, Jones and Aguero to Sane, Mee and Morata

    or
    C. what is C??

    current team
    Elliot, Woodman
    Jones, Kola, Moreno, Simpson, Gamez
    Sterling, Salah, Richarlison, Choupo, Carroll
    Kane, Agree, Jesus

    1. built_this_city
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      I'd go for the -8

      1. jpb333
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        thanks. that's what i'm leaning towards. Don't really want Dunk, it would just be to minimise hits.

  25. Emiliano Sala
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Everybody told me to buy sane + wilson, but I don't know why I love hazard + DCL more and going to buy this pair tomorrow. Hope it doesn't end up sad

  26. Karan14
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Think I’m going to ride the wave without Hazard.

    Will be relying on one out of Pogba, Silva, Eriksen, Alli, Coutinho or Mane and 2-3 premium defenders.

    Salah & Sane the template 2 mids.

    Alonso & Morata my Cheslea cover.

      Alonso and Morata are great Chelsea cover but I cant help but want Hazard with the fixtures

        Hazard with Salah, Sane, Morata & Alonso just ruins my team.

        Think Alonso & a cheaper premium mid will be better long term than Hazard & 4.5m def (not Burnley or Brighton in my case as I already own them and there isn’t anyone better than them).

      Hazard definitely worth getting as he's owned by very less teams...and he's capable of getting double digit hauls in each of those juicy fixtures

    Due to potential risks this week I am looking at Aguero and Sterling to Kane and Pogba. This would leave me with absolutely no City cover. Surely this is madness

    1. A.T

      It's very tricky. They will probably win 7-0 or something.

      1. A.T
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        No way you could get Sané?

        1. Kings of Lyon ★
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          Could do Sterling to Sane but it means going without Kane

          1. A.T
            • 13 Years
            6 years, 5 months ago

            Could you take a hit elsewhere to get both? -4 seems worth it to me.

              Not really much room to move.

              DDG Elliot
              Kiko Daniels Naughton Dann Lascelles
              Sterling Salah Richarilson RLC Carroll
              Lukaku Kane Morata

              Next week im looking at Lukaku and Carroll to Niasse and Hazard

                I think you'll have to take on the chin and buy a find a big sofa. 🙁

                  I think youre right

      2. Kings of Lyon ★
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Aye, thats the problem 🙁

    2. Deece

      I'd do it. There's a chance you could end up with no city cover even with those two players in your team!

      Guessing you can't afford just Aguero to kane? If so I'd just do that. Sterling more likely to start.

      Think Pep has realised that Jesus doesn't work on the wing so really Sterlings only comp is Bernardo silva who hasn't done much to warrant a prem start

      1. Kings of Lyon ★
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        I _could_ just do Aguero to Kane, aye

        1. Deece
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          I'd do that. Aguero has and will be rotated. Personally think Sterling is starting to become nailed.

          I'd do that and captain Kane.

        Exactly 🙁

          6 years, 5 months ago

          Problem is I doubt Kun starts. And who knows what'll happen midweek? That's why I dropped Jesus last week and have only owned Kun for 1 gw

    Morning gents. Thoughts on the below team for this GW. 1ft 0.3m in bank

    Elliot
    Jones** Naughton Daniels
    Salah Silva Sterling RLC
    Kane Kaku Morata

    Foster Mee Mbemba Chalobah

    1) Kane captain
    2) Lukaku captain

    A) Jones to Mustafi
    B) Save fT

  29. SH@KTIMAAN

    Now that niasse is banned... Is DCL nailed on for next two?
    Thinking of doing Jesus +TC to DCL + Sane and save cash to bring Chelsea defender next week.
    I think Aguero will definitely play this week as they played CL on Tuesday and has enough days to rest till Sunday.
    Any thoughts?

    1. Longlatini

      Nothing definite with Aguero unfortunately.
      Such a shame but I can't deal with the benching any more for his price...

    2. jpb333

      DCL must surely be nailed as there is no one else

  30. Valar(Keith)
    • 14 Years

    Mustafi @5.3 or Daniels @4.9.. Which one would you prefer?

    1. Deece
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Mustafi

    2. Karan14
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Mustafi better long term pick imo.
