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.

    If Pedro is injured long term then Willian is a no brainer

    1. Nat89

      defo

    2. Danno - Emre Canada

      What happened to Pedro? Saw he got injured earlier in the half and now subbed at half-time.

    Laca's been poor today

    1. Big P
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Been awful

    2. Forza Papac

      Le Donk breathing down his neck

    3. RÏɠBY

      6 years, 7 months ago

      he hasn't really ripped it up at all though has he?

      1. Greenbackbøøg…
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        2 goals so far not terrible, still needs to adjust to the prem

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

    Bottomed.

    What do I do with these players?

    Alli
    Bavies
    Richarlison
    Firmino

    They all have been bang average apart from Bavies

    1. Neeskens Under Matip
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      All been good except for this week:

      Firmino out of usual position
      Alli made to drop deep because of unusual setup, ditto bavies.
      Richarlson was always a cheap punt?

      1. Ron_Swanson
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Bavies played so deep he was on the bench!

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

          Winger... far, far left wing

  5. Fowler23
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Awful from Laca

  6. Big P
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Will Abraham drop out for Bony?

    I thought Ayew would, but worried when I saw Abraham sub off yesterday for Bony and not Ayew.

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

      Abraham on loan so I would imagine he costs swans more if he plays over a certain amount of games .

    2. Ghost Gooner
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Ayew is ahead of Abraham.

    3. Nat89
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      this is my worry aswell because if benched you can be sure he comes on for 5 mins at the end

  7. Make United Great Again

    Disciplined Arsenal performance...surprising

    1. Big P
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      No Ozil or Sanchez wandering around helps...

  8. PocketZola
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    I swapped laca for kane (c)

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

      Good desicion.

  9. Neeskens Under Matip
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Very counter intuitive that Arsenal are better without Ozil and Sanchez?

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

      Better with Ozil long term

      Better with Sanchez short term for now

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

      Why? Football is a team game. The best team wins, not the best collection of individuals. Ozil not suited to Arsenal IMO.

      1. Neeskens Under Matip
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Sanchez was always pretty disciplined, in a running around a lot kind of way, something else going on with him in suspect (transfer annoyance)...

  10. FPL Maldini
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    How bad did Pedro injury look?

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

    We're gonna win now 😎

  12. olidooley
    • 11 Years

    Chelsea need to upgrade Willian and Pedro

    1. Big P
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Willian is ace.

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

        this

    2. AC Tomasso
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      They should try and go in for Bale

      1. Leeds2116
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        lol yeah rgiht

        1. AC Tomasso
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Worth a try, ManUtd are

    3. RÏɠBY
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      ? willian is probably their best player

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

        Not enough end product

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

      Willian's great
      Agree on Pedro

    5. Ghost Gooner
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Hazard?

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

      They should sign Reus

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

    1. R.C
      • 6 Years

    2. Jafooli

  14. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Sad to see DrinkWaters career has ended

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

      He'll get his chances

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

        Not from the bench

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

      Drinkwater to be used for FA and EFL cup tbvvvh

    3. Danno - Emre Canada
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      He's injured isn't he?

  15. HoserHut
    • 9 Years

    Lacazette stone feet

  16. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Dangerous boot from Luiz

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

      you would go for it though wouldn't you?
      overhead kicks sadly are a thing of the past (unless you have half a pitch clear around you)

  17. Differentiator
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Can we have a Chelsea goal please

  18. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 14 Years

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

        How is Kola doing?

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

    How to get Citeh coverage?

    Elliot / Foster
    Kola / Alonso / Bavies / Clark / Moreno
    Alli / Ritchie / Gross / Choupo / Carroll
    Firmino / Kane / Lukaku

    0.1 ITB. Thinking Lukaku for Jesus depending on the result tonight but really not sure if i should go other way like Alli to Silva and Firmino to Jesus.

    God FPL this season is BOLLOCKS!

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Terrible midfield chief

      1. Ocrana
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Plan to go 4-3-3 and Alli + Ritchie will always be there so was thinking of rotating Gross and Choupo.

        1. Hotdogs for Tea
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Ritchie as your second mid ? - that way madness lies

          1. Ocrana
            • 14 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            Indeed ^^

            Havent found value under 7.5M in mid so was planning on waiting for the big guns to show who to get.

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

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

        Luiz didn't touch his head. Kosc was faking it.

    3. Debauchy

  26. Fowler23
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Why only yellow

    1. DR0GBA
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      didn't deserve a red.

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

      Why would it be a red?

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

        If Manes was a red then why not this challenge

        1. DR0GBA
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          1) it wasn't studs
          2) wasn't even a kick to the face

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

      Cause City rigged PL

      1. soumyeah
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        troll

  27. Mark-O
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Definitely warrants a red for David Luiz

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

    Bakayoko just showed why Arsenal need a midfielder like him

  29. Bobby Digital
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Rooney any potential the next three gameweeks?

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

      Lots

    2. HoserHut
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Wait for league cup game midweek but if they look improved could be a good shout

    3. Differentiator
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      2 yellows away from suspension

    4. Nat89
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      everton been poor recently but if they score goals in next few games then rooney will be involved. i think he is a good option

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        They do have the fixtures..

    5. Neeskens Under Matip
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      If you're going to gamble, go sigurdson or Calvert lewin?

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

        Siggy

      2. Bobby Digital
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago
