Dugout Discussion – Chelsea vs Man City

The day concludes with the headline act as champions Chelsea take on early pacesetters Manchester City at Stamford Bridge.

The next 90 minutes will be of huge interest for Fantasy managers, with both these teams enjoying improved fixture schedules to follow this encounter.

In attack, Sergio Aguero’s absence with a rib injury throws us a curveball but hands an opportunity for Gabriel Jesus to play his way back into our plans.

Meanwhile in opposition, Alvaro Morata will add the latest chapter to his hugely impressive start to the season. He takes 528,000 new owners into this match, having been the top transfer target ahead of today’s deadline.

There are also key assets on show in midfield, with Eden Hazard auditioning for a role in our squads with this evening’s performance – he makes his first Premier League start.

Elsewhere, David Silva and Raheem Sterling will bid to boost their burgeoning Fantasy stock as the leading scorer and assister among midfielders.

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

      no need for -12. just prioritize your transfers by using a -4

    Still carrying Kun. He's dropping tomorrow rather than tonight right?

    Would prefer to see what Laca does before deciding to go for him or Jesus.

    Anyone else watching rooting for a 0-0 end to this games?

    1. makaveli123
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      No. 1-1. Goals by Bakayoko and Delph

  8. Tim Canterbury
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Talk about harsh on the bonus points, 5 goals, 2 assist, 2 clean sheets. 4 baps!

  9. Live Lad
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Firmino + Kaku + Mkhi to Jesus + Kane + 7.3 max (-8)?

    I'm sure it's worth it but which 7.3 max mid? Have Brady, Ritchie.

    1. My neck my back my Saed Kol…
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Not 100% sure it's worth it but if you do get Ramsey, he's good value and gets himself about

      1. Live Lad
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks mate. I may not get Jesus but Ramsey is a good shout. Kaku + Mkhi to Kane + Silva? Or just Kaku to Kane for free?

        1. My neck my back my Saed Kol…
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          I wouldn't loose both lukaku and Mikhi. Probably lukaku to Kane should be enough I reckon

          1. Live Lad
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            Thanks! I need City cover?

          2. Live Lad
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            Can keep Kaku if I do Firmino. + Mkhi to Kane + 6.0. Good?

            1. My neck my back my Saed Kol…
              • 9 Years
              6 years, 7 months ago

              I don't have any city players but looking to get 1 in if I can. I had firminho a while back, he's good but frustrating. Kane kaku and 6mil makes sense. I've got that and have Ritchie

              1. Live Lad
                • 9 Years
                6 years, 7 months ago

                Thanks mate! I have Morata too who just went off injured. Morata to Kane for a hit it seems now.

                1. My neck my back my Saed Kol…
                  • 9 Years
                  6 years, 7 months ago

                  Yeah I only just got morata in and I'm gunna have to take him out for Jesus. Annoying but it can happen

        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        All it takes is dumb luck to get into top 10k early season 😆

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

        Kane 20%

        6 years, 7 months ago

        Fair few of my non ffs ml rivals tend to pick cheap players playing in big teams. Less knowledge about smaller team players I guess

    2. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Too be fair similar names and erm...that's about it really.

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

      Looking forward to when the top10k actually has good players in it

  12. My neck my back my Saed Kol…
    • 9 Years

    This team worth a WC? 1FT and 1.6 ITB

    De Gea Elliot

    Kolasinac Davies Mee Naughton Mariappa

    Mikhi Ramsey Ritchie Carrol RLC

    Morata Kane Lukaku

    1. Sandy Ravage
      • 8 Years

      Mikhi > Silva

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

      Who would you get rid of & who would you get in? That will generally be a good indicator

    3. SkeletONv01
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      No IMO

    4. mr messi

    5. Fpl Richie

        • 9 Years

  13. Rik Waller

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years

      Utd can do well v liverpool

  14. OPTA FPL
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Sane vs Sterling?

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Sane's bigger, he would knock Raheem out

    2. Jolly Good
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Who would get more mins is the questions?

  15. Sims

    Moses and Delph goals please

    1. Eden ACCOUNT CLOSED

      Unlikely when he's not playing....

  16. Mattias

    Thoughts on this WC team...

    Fab/Elliot
    Jones/Trippier/Stones/Daniels/3.9m
    Eriksen/Coutinho/Sterling/Fellaini/Surman
    Kane/Morata/Vardy

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

      Trippier no way. Far from nailed

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

        Righto thanks. Monreal another option at the same price.

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

          Can’t you extend to Davies. Fellaini to rlc perhaps

  17. zotter
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    On 55 with about 10 baps and morata silva mane salah kola to come 🙂

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

      ok

  18. A Team Of James McCleans
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Is Sterling nailed going forward?

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

      Don’t think so. Sane ahead in pecking order

    2. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Not nailed nailed, but for more than he was.

    3. Monkey Hanger
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Screwed, without a rawl plug.

    4. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Has been, for a Season and a half.

  19. Rainer
    • 7 Years

    Stones bad landing

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

    As long as Chelsea don't get tired and make a mistake or City make a mistake it will be

  21. Sandy Ravage
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Rudiger 1 - 0 Stones

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

    13/10 for over 2.5 goals in this match looks like printing money from the way it's started

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

      Chelsea arsenal started this way toi

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

        City a different animal to Arse though

  23. MidTableFantasy
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Elliot/Gomez
    Alonso Cedric Dawson (Dunk Goldson)
    Eriksen Silva Mkhi Gross (Carroll)
    Morata Lukaku Vardy

    2 FTs

    Lukaku + Eriksen > Kane + Coutinho ?

    1. Harry Ball Bag™⚽⚽…
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Kane and hazard possible?

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

        Would have to take major hits and make sacrifices. Getting in Kane and Coutinho puts me at 0.0 ITB.

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

      Wouldn't get South Americans for gw8, just Kaku to Kane

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

        Good point, cheers. Salah then?

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

          Haz, I don't like Salah's fixture

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

    4 more weeks of double Southampton defence (Forster & Berty) & then downgrading them to release funds. Any chance of 3 clean sheets for Southampton in those next 4? The fixtures are lovely

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

      yes

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

      Really don't see it happening, Soton's defense might be the most overrated in the league.

  25. FPL ZB

    Bakayoko looks a proper player. Tank.

    1. Monkey Hanger
      • 10 Years

      Yes, not FF though.

    Fabianski
    Clark Davies Naughton
    Salah Silva Mkhi Brady

    Elliott Jones Chalobah Rosenoir

    1 FT, thinking of saving it and using next gw to further assess the budget mids, thoughts?

    1. We Will Klopp you
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      defs* As my 2 have a good fixture

    2. Pierce34
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Very long way to go, but yes.

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Team in good shape, not willing to lose anyone to get the players in that others are after so not really much left for me to assess
