Dugout Discussion – Chelsea vs Man City

3,134 Comments
Share

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.

    Seems to me that this is the worst time to wildcard. Real injuries, fake injuries (to get out of internationals), jet lag (will he wont he play dilemas) and very few price rises this season. I wish i still had my WC but using it during IBs is very challenging.

      have to agree ... e.g. all those South Americans you might want for the season, except the week after an IB
      Some people mention making money over the period (double rises) but even if that happens, surely it means selling in-form players
