Dugout Discussion – Sunday

After Man City got the better of Arsenal at the Etihad, we’re treated to a pair of 4.30pm encounters as the curtain comes down on Gameweek 11.

Chelsea’s clash with Man United at Stamford Bridge sees two of the top seven Fantasy Premier League captains go head-to-head.

Romelu Lukaku and Alvaro Morata have been handed the armband by 17.9% and 2.8% respectively, though both have struggled for form and failed to score in three of their last four league appearances.

After bagging a first double-digit haul of the season last week, Eden Hazard could emerge as a differential – he looks likely to be handed a central role due to the return of N’Golo Kante.

Lukaku was the most sold player ahead of Gameweek 11, having failed to score in his last six in all competitions.

Yet with back-to-back home matches against Newcastle and Brighton preceding a trip to Watford, interest will surely pick up again over the break.

Everton and Watford collide at Goodison in the other fixture.

While the Toffees’ shambolic start to the season has ensured that most of us steer clear, the Hornets’ Richarlison goes into this one heavily backed.

Over 16% of FPL managers have acquired the young Brazilian, who has served up three goals, two assists and 36 of his 51 FPL points away from home.

    Why in the world would you wildcard? Mbemba and Davies only real needs

      Jones + Alonso -> Mbemba + Davies?

    Fernandinho must now be the budget 4th mid we have all been looking for ?

      Surely he can't keep getting these lay off assists?!

      A real GK would have saved KdB's goal.

        Someone should tell Arsenal Cech doesn't have professional qualifications and references.

          The days of Cech saving Arsenal points are long, long gone.

          He's suspect fam, as some would say.

            I actually agree, think he's dodgy as hell and has been for a while.

    Seeing how much better Fabregas is when he doesn't have defensive duties.

    1. Cityzen Kane

      was ready to let him go... might rethink that now.

    Jeez Andy Carroll could have played up front for United and do a better job than Lukaku

  10. Sims

    seems like it's all everton.. every time switch over the game is being played around the watford penalty box

    Morata is so out of my team.

    This is very weird watching this as an Alonso owner. The whole Chelsea team doesn't seem to aknowledge him, he could be in acres of space they still don't pass to him

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      You are bang on. From watching Chelsea this year, they just seem really adverse to going down the left flank.

      An awful lot had come down the right, hence why Azpi has notched up a few more assists.

      What's interesting is that Morata and Hazard often run into the spaces that Alonso was more frequently occupying last year, hence why he's not in the better positions AS OFTEN (he still is at times).

      Definitely correct though. He is often in good space but Chelsea do not always take that route.

      1. Somalion
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        It's because he isn't that good. Given Chelsea's season hasn't been great, they're prioritising getting the ball to their star players rather than a luxury player who might score but might lose possession very simply.

    i wish chelsea players would stop passing to de gea

  14. Jar Jar Winks

    de gea is a must in any wc

  15. diesel001

    Although I am enjoying the Che-Utd game as a DDG and Azpi owner a 0-0 would be ideal.

    1. tisza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      how close to the top 1k now?

      1. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Inside the Top 1K. OR 689. Silva got me a nice assist earlier today. But a 0-0 here would be awesome.

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          Nice brag...

        2. tisza
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          Nice.
          got up to 1.4k or earlier but Kane fail dropped me back to 2.2k.
          Something from Richarlison could get me close again.

          1. Salah’s Sonnet

    Alonso is a shocking footballer

    How does he keep his place in that Chelsea side

    1. Somalion
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      His Roman hair?

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)

      They've nobody else.

    4. Harper (No more Penandes)
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      I guess that's why they don't pass to him, because they know he's shit lol

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

      he was very good at what he was supposed to do last season

    6. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Can't believe Le Tissier but him as the LB in the combined Arsenal, Chelsea & Manchester Clubs XI, Kolasinac looks a better allrounder & Mendy looks the real deal

  18. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Not watching the match but that Kenny bloke is absolutely bossing the BAPS.

  19. Sims
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    These chelsea players definitely own DDG. some of the worst Shots on target you will see

  20. CFC96
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    imagine having a united defensive triple up since gw1, so many points

    1. Jar Jar Winks
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      yh but no luakaku points

  21. Syd.

    Bad miss that

  22. Rainer

  23. CFC96
    • 6 Years

    if this ends 0-0, united may well break the record, no idea how theres been no goals

    Guys is this a good idea:

    Alonso, Davies and Richarlison for
    Daniels, Dunk and Salah!

    For -8...

    Don’t want to take a hit like this but can’t go on missing out on these Salah points! Thanks.

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Wouldn’t lose Rich.

    2. Unfathomable Ruination
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Chasing points. And losing them with a -8. I would really not recommend doing a -8 with two weeks of international break coming.

    3. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Attacking emphasis of Pool will change a bit with Mane and Cout playing - no guarantee Salah will be the ‘go to’ man ...

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Salah is a season keeper

      2. Somalion
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        If he continues playing as the right winger cutting in to become the forward while Firm, Cout and Mane do the donkey work then he'll keep getting chances.

        1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
          • 12 Years

          This.,.
          Terms like season keeper are over used...... Totally depends if team and individual form remain and deffo depends on formation

        2. Hotdogs for Tea
          • 8 Years

          The classic ‘spread it around’ Liverpool syndrome will kick in again .... lest we forget 🙂

    "Oh my actual word. Richarlison sprints in on goal after being released by tom Cleverley, rounds Jordan Pickford but can't score from wide on the left of the area with the goal gaping. Had to score. Had to!"
