Dugout Discussion – Chelsea vs Arsenal

Sunday could actually be a “super” one in Gameweek 5. It begins at Stamford Bridge where Chelsea host Arsenal with an array of major Fantasy assets taking to the turf.

Alvaro Morata is perhaps the key attacking option on show. The Spaniard has recorded three goals and two assists – all with his head – since arriving at Chelsea and is supported by 912,000+ owners, with 182,000 (20%) of those backing him with the captaincy.

Alexandre Laczette is in opposition and, surprisingly perhaps, remains well backed in Fantasy terms.

Despite suffering 92,000+ sales heading into Gameweek 5, the French striker is still retained by 600,000 managers and has 141,000 (23%) of those trusting him with their Gameweek captaincy.

Elsewhere, the performances of wing-backs Marcos Alonso and Sead Kolasinac will be closely tracked.

The Chelsea man is owned by 21.2% of FPL managers having picked up another 40,000 new managers ahead of yesterday’s deadline.

Kolasinac’s following is more modest (10.7%) and yet, following his goal in the midweek Champions League tie, he is building momentum ahead of two favourable home fixtures (WBA BHA).

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    I wouldn't mind this game finishing 0 - 0

    1. the snazzy viking
      • 7 Years

      1-1, Ramsey goal and a Morata goal

    2. dark91
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      I would. Better 1-1 with irrelevant scorers and no assists

      1. Patch

        6 years, 7 months ago

        Lol tru

      Kola and Alonso 3bps each pls

    Arsenal still haven't fallen apart with 35 minutes gone. I'm shocked

    1. Colonel Shoe 肝池

      Plenty of time to meet your expectations

  3. El-Kloppico

    6 years, 7 months ago

    Firmino to whom for 7.8 max?

    Wood seems a nice option.

    Gabbiadini finally has to go. Should have got rid of him weeks ago.
    I will have 7.6 m to spend. Considering Rashford or Wellbeck. What are your suggestions?
    Many thanks

    1. Scout Pics
      • 6 Years

      Not for me Jeff

    2. _figu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      I'm considering Welbeck short term as well

    3. Limbo
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      I'm very tempted with Rashford. Just wish he had more 90 minute games. Martial getting starts too.

    4. diesel001
      • 7 Years

      Joselu and upgrade elsewhere

    5. zag

      Free up some money for Vardy. Utd fixtures aren't great and missing pogba, Welbeck is a big rotation risk with Sanchez and ozil fit.

  5. Sim Simma

    Pedro YC incoming

  6. n-doggg
    • 11 Years

    Ramsey so bad

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      so far

  7. _figu

    Welbeck 7.5 worth considering? I want to get rid of Shitarito. Would be for next 2 game weeks (likely WC on between GW7 and GW8).

    Might not get the minutes but Chicarito gets subbed every game and they have Spurs next GW.

    1. Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Yep , certainly worth considering if you are going to WC soon

    2. zag
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Welbeck isn't known for being clinical. He's no Giroud, I don't see him scoring many from the bench.

  8. Meltens

    Sanchez likely to start next PL game? What do you all think?

    1. Bubz
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Wouldve thought so. He doesn't look himself at the moment though

      1. Meltens
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Could be one hell of a differential. Would be sacrificing Kane though which feels increadibly risky.

  9. Debauchy
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Early days, a Chelsea goal could change it but thus far Arsenal very much in it.

    1. n-doggg
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      They are edging it at the moment. Pleasant surprise

      1. Debauchy
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Very , every pundit and his doggg was predicting an "easy"

  10. R.C
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    I dont see these guys scoring any at this pace

    1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      One goal and the game will open up

  11. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Kola in the penalty area

    1. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Of course

  12. R.C
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Both team missing the Sanchez and Hazard factor

  13. Football Heaven
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Kane and Pogba > silva and aguero for hit? Have bavies and alli and no city cover. Will get Kane back for game after probs

    1. cravencottage
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Yes

    2. zag
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Maybe just Silva for coverage? Feels like chasing last weeks points. Kane is due a haul.

  14. Kloppen Schloppen
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Imagine Kola and Sanchez bombing down the left!

  15. cravencottage
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Which order:

    1) Atsu
    2) Brady
    3) Gross

    Thanks!

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      132

    2. El-Kloppico
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      reverse order

    3. R.C
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Gross and the other two are on par

  16. El-Kloppico
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    With Hazard and Alexis nearing return.. I am thinking of holding on the WC for 2 more weeks..

    1. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      I need to know the time and date of your proposed WC to be satisfied with your plan

      1. El-Kloppico
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        After next GW.

        1. Deulofail
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Unsatisfied. 😉

      2. El-Kloppico
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Will also benefit from the Fixture change

    2. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Prudent. If one or both come out producing like their old selves, it will require some reconfiguring.

  17. Gobigorgohome

    Arsenal better team.. did not expect that

    1. cravencottage
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      So far- first goal will change things

      1. Gobigorgohome
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Agree

  18. VFORVANDETA
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Why Wenger never put Sanchez Ozil and Lacazette in one team?

    1. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Welbeck

    2. R.C
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Ozil injured

    3. El-Kloppico
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      they are not ready yet.. Ozil out injured

    4. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Circumstances

    5. Sánchez
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Because that would be too obvious.
      He has to prove his genius

  19. Somalion
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Arsenal turning the screw a bit. Some calamitous defending from the Chelsea boys.

    1. Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      ffs how.................

  20. the snazzy viking
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Chalobah or RLC on WC?

    1. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      RLC

    2. cravencottage
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      RLC- more upside

    3. R.C
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      RLC plays more attacking role but CRY are on poor form, so probably Chalobah as Marco Silva is a better coach

  21. TheBusDriver
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Lacazette is pretty average tbh.

    1. FDMS All Starz
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      I think he is plays well when his team dominate possession, so it makes sense for him to be dull today

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

    No Ozil makes Arsenal a better team.

    1. R.C
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      This

  23. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Chelsea being bullied

  24. FDMS All Starz
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Would love hazard and Sanchez to come in at HT...would open up the game, Willian and Iwobi have been irrelevant so far

  25. the snazzy viking
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Ramsey so close

  26. Bubz
    • 10 Years
