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'll take those 5 points for Kola!

      I would have happily taken it before the game as well.

    44 with Jones left. Green or red?

    1. Norman Conquest
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      if lukaku scores plenty red otherwise green

      1. Dr. DOOM

        I see. Cheers.

      How about the 1st GW?

      5 from 7! Just one of those weekends

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

      No quality whatsoever

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

      6 from 1

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

      Good defences

    6. TheTwelfthMan
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Rather this than the 6-0 yesterday.

      There were a lot of goals in Scotland this weekend, but it doesn't make their league any better.

    Alonso 6 pts but was pretty much invisible. Not worth the price tag atm

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

      He should be getting a goal a game in your eyes yeah?

    2. Rafiki
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Was pretty forward

    3. Dr. DOOM
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Bellerin played well. Alonso is well worth the tag imo.

    4. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Scores next game, eat your own words

    5. TheTwelfthMan
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      If a 7.0m mid gets an assist and a bonus point you'd be very happy. 6 points on an off day is phenomenal.

  5. Wilshere Knowledge
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Monreal was quality in that game.

    Under the radar maestro.

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

      indeed

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Ramsey too- if they keep Ozil out of team Ramsey could make hay

    3. Pariße
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      More attacking threat in Mustafi.

      1. Wilshere Knowledge
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Meant real life, not FPL.

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

          Oh yeah, sorry. Just saw him mentioned and got triggered fpl-wise 🙂

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

      Agreed, needs koscielny along side him though...

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

    38 pts with Kaku and Jones left.

    terrible.

    1. FER FUSCH AKE
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      same as you. what's your OR

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

        standing at 800K now.

        dropped about 200K currently

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

      that's around the average

  7. FPL Blow-In
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    I feel for Luiz, he was after having a cracking game

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

      Nearly cracked Kol's chin

      Not sure that's a red

  8. Viper
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Up to a massive 28 points.

    Jones, Mhki & Lukaku to go.

    Sigh..

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

      Thought I was the only one having a shocker. 32 with Mkhi and Lukaku to go.

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

      I'm on 29 with kaku (c), mkhi & jones to go. Hope they do well !!

  9. GHB
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    How many BPS get deducted for a yellow card?

    1. MTPockets
        6 years, 7 months ago

        3

      • Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        -3 BPS for YC, -1 for foul... plus -1 actual point. So it cost him his 3 baps + minus 1 point = 4 points

      • Norman Conquest
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        by the looks of things loads

      • GHB
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Cheers guys.

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

      Monreal coming from bench 🙂

    3. FER FUSCH AKE
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      40 with kaku and Jones left. red arrow I presume

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

      Best 0-0 I've seen in a while

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

      Impressed with Arsenal today didn't see them getting close to a point here

      Can't help thinking if Ozil plays they lose though

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Ozil shouldn't get back into team in that performance

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

          Certainly not.. total passenger in those type of matches

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

        Ozil needed imo but he must realise he needs to track back and contribute off the ball

    6. Fer Fuch's Ake
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      If D Luiz got a yellow AND a straight red, shouldn't it be -4 deduction? Calling the FPL Police right now!

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

        No he only gets the -3 fot the red

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

          For*

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

          what about the -1 for the yellow?

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

        It cancels the first yellow out.

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

          didn't know that, doesn't really seem fair

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

            a direct red should have more repercussions than a second yellow

    7. luisgarcia
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      what would you do with this lot?

      foster elliot

      kola bavies moreno bertrand long

      eriksen d.silva richarlison carroll ramsey

      kaku kane abraham

      time to wc?

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

        I have a similar team but Salah KDB Ritchie instead of Erkisen Silva Ramsey and a couple defs different and not wildcarding yet, would save if I was you

      2. weaver93
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        no..

        I'd bin Moreno..

        You could do Kane -Jesus , upgrade Ramsey to Salah/Coutinho

        1. luisgarcia
          • 9 Years

          thanks guys

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

      It's a shame that Luiz still scores 3pts after the Red card

    9. Cookie Kid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Kola was on 32 BPS in injury time

      He ended up sub-27.

      -3 for yellow but what else did he do apart from nearly getting his ankle taken off?

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

        lost possesion of the ball twice

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

          Did he?

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

        he made another foul right after the yellow, that's another -1 bp

    10. Chandler Bing
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Does Luiz get points for CS along with his red card deduction?

      1. La Vida Latte
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        And will he keep the clran sheet?

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

          Yes & Yes

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

        Yup

    11. Dušan Citizen
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      58 all out.

      Lukaku, Miki and Utd defence can hurt me tho.

    12. Captain Vantastic™
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Never a red card

      1. Scout Pics
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Lol

      2. Captain Roberto
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Seems 90% of Red cards come from the heavy touch followed by the lunge tackle to reclaim the ball in a 50/50.

      3. MrZ
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        May not worth straight red, but he'll still get red if it's yellow. Was on 1 yellow before that challenge

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

      no idea how to bring Haz in if he's nailed now. Can't downgrade any strikers!

    14. Rafiki
      • 13 Years

      Need Phil and Romelu to rescue

      Valencia to get 2 assists today

    18. lordkippe

    19. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 7 Years

      Put a £10 bet that it'd end as a draw, thank you very much

    20. HoserHut
      • 9 Years

      30 points with jones and lukaku to go... could really have used those kola baps -.-

    21. Captain Roberto
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      That performance from Morata was absolute garbage. Someone needs to tell him to stop diving about whenever the breeze blows.
