Dugout Discussion – Bournemouth vs Chelsea

Saturday’s events end at the Vitality Stadium with AFC Bournemouth hosting champions Chelsea.

A high profile fixture for Fantasy managers, it’s importance has been elevated by Harry Kane’s injury which helped to spark 320,000 investors in Alvaro Morata. More than 132,000 of those arrived from the Spurs striker.

Morata disappointed on his return to Chelsea’s XI against Watford at Stamford Bridge, producing a single point from a 60-minute display. But four of his six goals for the Blues have arrived on the road and the Spaniard has had more big chances in away matches than any other player.

Eden Hazard is the other prize asset on show. He’s considered to dip in points output away from home, having scored 12 of his 16 goals last season on home turf. Yet to score this season, the Belgian boasts four goals in his last three matches against the Cherries.

Fantasy interest in Eddie Howe’s side is somewhat limited, with Charlie Daniels their top owned player; he is part of 9.3% of squads, though 45% of his managers have benched him for this evening’s clash.

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

    If Daniels price falls before I get him in for Kola it would be sweet

    So who should I use as my 4th midfielder?
    A) Stanislas
    B) Choupo
    C) Ritchie
    D) Gross

    I have 6.1 to spend, got Salah, Sane, Richarlison and Loftus as my other 4 midfielders for the record.

    A lot of people had Sterling & Jesus last week and got 1 point due to unforeseen rotation. I bought Otem & Jesus in this week thinking all will be good as I know they'll start...1 point

          • 10 Years

          That’s understandable

    61 with Elliot and Yoshida to go. Poor captain choice else would have been better!

    I like FPL this season. It's like a pre-season tournament. Kind of matters but doesn't. I much rather prefer it this way than the dullard template we usually get post January.

      Deffo more fun

      Much harder

      But but, then we get more points! 🙁

    ML rival scored 82!!
    Sane (c), Kola, Fernandinho (!) etc

    Too soon to worry about catching his 60 point lead???

    1. Please Help I Don't Kn…
      • 7 Years

      You could gain 5 points per gw and you'd still win, so no

      I closed a 240 gap last season and won believe it or not so take your time and use chips wisely

      Knocked 75 pts off a 100 pt deficit over the last 3 wks...losing ground again this week unfortunately (unless DCL and Pope/Ward help me out)

    2. Optimus.
      • 13 Years

      1-0

    Zlatan spotted

    1. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      You know if Zaltan was on the bench today he would have been in @ 60 min

  11. Digital-Real
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Will Pochettino be remembered as 'second best'?

    1. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years

      You've got to look at what he's done so far and what he might achieve next. If Spurs qualify from that CL group it is a massive step up from last season.

      If you look at the spending contraints too (disclaimer - not checked this table but saw it the other day)

    What would you do with this lot?

    Elliot Pope
    Dunk Kiko Lascelles Ward Mbemba
    Dilva Sterling Eriksen King Surman
    Kane Luk Jesus

    1 FT and .1 ITB

    1. *sigh*

      Needs more Chelsea

    2. rivercityransom
      • 8 Years

      if kane is fit, i'd do jesus to morata

  13. camarozz

    Sterling ➡Sane make any sense after today??

    I'd nearly go Sterling back to Ramsey at this stage even with today's goal.

    1. Optimus.
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      I'm looking to bring in Sane alongside Sterling

    2. JAC THE CAT
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      I like owning Sterling

    3. Tim Canterbury
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      If Sane is benched midweek yes

    4. Krionos
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Doesn't make sense at all to me...

    5. Rik Waller
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Both will start next imo

  14. how now brown cow

    6 years, 6 months ago

    Too many players these days. GW rank 3M sounds so so bad.

    7k down to 14k with only minnows to go.

    Think my season has officially peaked.

    1. DGW blindness is for Kinnea…
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      We just need to readjust our satisfaction rate. Maybe 15k is the new 10k

      1. how now brown cow
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        I'm delighted with that rank still. Just feeling the inevitable slide is beginning...

  15. Jsadler95
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Is anyone similar to me where they would rather have Hazard than Morata but can't find a decent 3rd striker for like less than £6m? Whereas there's quite a few options around that price for midfielders like Gross, Stanislas, Ritchie, Choupo etc.

    Any recommendations?

    1. Patch
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Guessing you also have Abrahams

      1. Jsadler95
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        I don't but I'm not convinced by him, Swansea are pretty poor going forward and his underlying stats (well shots and key passes) aren't anything to shout home about unlike people like Choupo and Ritchie.

    2. JAC THE CAT
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Yes, I’m feeling like that

  16. Voodoo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    So it looks like Kane isn’t going to fall in price now?

    Is that right or do people think he will?

    1. Shultan
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Was just going to comment that, looks like kane avoiding a price drop

      What do you consider as decent.
      1 mil gw rank? Then i guess so. Pretty easy to find out yourself

    Kane has been moved from red flag to orange
