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.

    Every budget mid/fwd I ever get never does anything. Come on Richarlison, break the trend.

    Wenger “we know that Raheem Sterling dives well”

    Hence wanted to buy him I guess

      Is it a 'best of liverpool since 1990' video?

        *checks video length*

        Over two minutes long, so no.

          🙂

        2. Rash

          Should be able to rap that up in a quick 30 sec segment

        Explains why it's only 2 minutes long

      Top notch

      He seems mellow 🙂

    Players that are crap in real life but are good for FPL

    - Josh King (last season)
    - Marcos Alonso
    - Aaron Ramsey
    - Richarlison

    1. I Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      None of them are crap.

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

        Above average PL players at best.

        1. Deulofail
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          Above average PL players includes the best

    2. CloudSky
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Wouldnt agree.

    3. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Can't really judge Richarlison as first season I've seen him.

      King had a freak season, mainly the latter half. Alonso was immense, but defensively Chelsea have regressed and he's not getting the goals and assists like before, even though still getting great positions.

      Ramsey was superb a few moons ago but is squad fodder type now, yes has plenty of good-ish stats but not backing it up.

    4. Ode
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Disagree

    5. liiusions
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Alonso is so average. Get slated for saying that to my friends as they all just come back with his goalscoring stats...

  5. HuttonDressedasLahm
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Why don’t I have triple Utd defence??

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Because you’re Hutton and dressed as Lahm.

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

        One of the best gravs on here though

        1. La Roja
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          Absolutely. My favorite too

        2. HuttonDressedasLahm
          • 14 Years

          Someone on here made it for me about three years ago

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            6 years, 5 months ago

            *5 or more 😉

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Might try that someday

      Would probably be better than Saints triple up I did 😛

  6. El-Kloppico

    What are Otamendi's owner doing?
    1 match ban, then juicy fixtures!

    1. A Team Of James McCleans
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Bench

      1. A Team Of James McCleans
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Not worth a ft rn tbh

    2. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Keeping.

    3. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Selling cause he'll probably miss a few of the juicy games.

    4. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Bench.

      Might have to sell later down the line if he becomes rotation risk.

    5. FPL ZB
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Bench for one game. Only costs 2 points anyway. Stones has done naff all for me

    6. Deano
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Kompany back he may lose his spot for those keeping.

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

        This
        I have to sell Stones, just not worth the money

      2. Alnair
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Pep was playing a back 3 before then though so he might just go back to that.

  7. Cpt Crunch Scott talent

    Holebas looking threatening?

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

      I'd give him my wallet if he threatened me

      1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        I'll keep him then.

  8. dunas_dog

    Murray Abraham or Vardy as this striker alongside Kane and Lukaku?

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

      *third

    2. A Team Of James McCleans
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Where is the extra €€ for vardy coming out of

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

        Got Vardy but looking for funds to spend midfield

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

      I have Vardy as second striker 😮

    4. Alan The Llama
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      I think I'm going to sell Vardy for Murray.

      I like Abraham but I can't see Swansea doing much.

  9. Jigger & Pony
    • 10 Years

    Looking like 25 all out this GW 🙁

    1. Jafooli

      Show off...

    2. Over Midwicket

    DDG racking up another cricket score. So boring.

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
        6 years, 5 months ago

        You watch some very low scoring cricket 🙂

        1. Over Midwicket
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          Just England mate!

      • Alan The Llama
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Yes, cricket is boring.

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

      Predictions for the second half?

      I predict a Wayne Rooney goal. Guy is past his best, but has a knack of scoring points in FPL when he gets gametime.

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

        Siggy worldie

      2. HuttonDressedasLahm

      Who is on top in the other match?

      1. Jafooli
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Kenny mopping up the baps....

        1. Ziro
          • 9 Years

    5. Holmes

      Luiz back in squad, tactical 😉

    6. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      So thinking of going 352
      With this move for a hit
      Currently 0.0 ITB and 1FT

      Jesus and Tarroll to
      Salah and 4.5 fodder up front
      Good move?

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

      Rashford or Kane on corners in Russia?

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

        Whoever clears the 1st defender at least 10% of the time.

      2. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Oxlade

    8. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Two wrongs don't make a right ref.

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

        Tbf I'd have booked Rashford for that attempt

    9. Bubz
      • 10 Years
