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.

    Which one?

    A) Bellerin-Atsu-Jesus-->Dunk-Zaha-Morata (-4)

    B) Jesus-Lukaku-->Aguero-Morata (free)

    C) Jesus -->Morata(save FT)

    C)

      B

      1. waldo666

        Sorry, meant C also, keep Lukaku and definitely don't remove for a hit

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

      I am thinking C
      I have Sterling and Sane too. 3 seems a bit risky and really want Morata.

    3. Yellin' in my Ear
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      C

  2. CloudSky

    Asensio oh my. Candidate for goal of the season.

    If only he didn't had to play with Benzema... 🙁

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

      have*

  3. Lecky Legs FC
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    I think I will keep my eye on Marcos Rojo during the IB, £5.4mil and Jose did say he was close to a return those fixtures are screaming to me potential CS for him there.

    1. Yellin' in my Ear
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Good shout, would want to ensure he's nailed though

      1. Lecky Legs FC
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        He's been speaking so openly about Fellani,Ibra & Rojo recently can tell he misses then Young will get the boot for him when he does return my gut says he'll be nailed but that's a whole different story I also think Lukaku place could be under threat of he keeps blanking Ibra will be turkeying for that spot now and is also close to his return.

    Any Christensen fans in the house? Been waiting for him to oust Luiz...has it now officially happened? or not yet?
    Davies -> Christensen could work

  5. merin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    What would you change here?

    Foster Elliot
    Jones Otamendi Cedric Lascelles Naughton
    Eriksen Silva Salah Richarlison Atsu
    Kane Jesus Abraham

    FT: 1, ITB: 0.4

    1. *sigh*
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Either Otamendi to Cahill or Lascelles to Mee.

  6. Yellin' in my Ear
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Jesus and Davies to Morata and Mee for free looks likely, also then worth doing Mbemba to Daniels or Kola to Azpi with the change for a -4?

  7. Jayv807
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Thinking of taking a hit this week for a keeper as Elliott is my only starter and I never seem to run out of issues to use my FTs on. Think long term it will be worth it.

    Good call to take the hit?

    1. Man Chest Hair United
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Long term it should be paid back I’m thinking of taking -8 this week. Hits make it fun

    2. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Sure.

    3. Yellin' in my Ear
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Yep, get Pope

  8. Man Chest Hair United
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Thoughts on the 3 5 2 team

    Pope Elliot
    Jones Mee Moreno Yedlin Mbemba
    Sane mane Richarlison sterling Eriksen
    Kane Morata Calvert Lewin

    Not on wildcard

    1. Jayv807
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Not a fan of the defense

    2. Yellin' in my Ear
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Brighton defender over Yedlin?

  9. sully29
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Should I be more keen to hold onto Hazard or Silva?

    1. Man Chest Hair United
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Both worth keeping

    2. ralfb
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      silva

    3. Jayv807
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Similar to me, need to decide who out of Eriksen, Hazard and Silva makes way for Salah

  10. Rash
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Anybody know what the LMS safety score going to be? Guessing it can't be above 40... I hope

  11. Lovren an elevator
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    C) Aguero.

    1. Midlands Saint73
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      A for me

  13. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    With Kante back I m bringing azpi in, best defender to own in the game imo

  14. GAMBIT
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    What to do with Firmino?

    Rashford maybe?

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Keep ?

      1. GAMBIT
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        I'm so tired of him ALMOST getting points

        1. Sterling is £11Mill..…
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          give him another 3 gws if he blanks then get rid

          1. Moosie the Staggie
            • 12 Years
            6 years, 5 months ago

            Probably this^

  15. LIARS POKER
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Apzi+Christensen double up from gw14 onwards if he nails down a place? Looked great whenever he's played this season

    1. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      If he nails down a place then yes, I think that would be a good idea.

  16. AFC49
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Would you WC this?

    Foster
    Ward, Jones, Daniels
    Salah, Silva, Groß, Richarlison
    Kane, Aguero, Vardy

    Elliot, Kolasinac, Carroll, Mariappa

    1FT, 0.3 ITB

    1. grifster69
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      No...

  17. Shardlow
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Forster (Elliott)
    Jones, Mee, Bavies (Ottamendi, Mbemba)
    Silva, Sterling, Salah, Gross (RLC)
    Abraham, Kane, Lukaku

    Got 1 FT and 1.1 ITB

    1. Forster >> Pope or 4.0 keeper. Obviously liverpool and united away for forster and elliot next week.
    2. Bavies >> Azpi or another defender?
    3. Mbemba >> ??

    Cheers.

        6 years, 5 months ago

        😀
        Differential cap picks for next 5 weeks let's see if that makes a difference because I feel like I have been following the crowd this season...

  20. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 11 Years

      Not for me

      1. Jack Burton

  22. WE ARE RANGERS
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Can anyone give me any input 🙂 Got 2 million burning a hole but quite happy with my team

    Speroni/Elliot
    Mee Jones Daniels Gomez Naughton
    Sterling Richarlison Zaha Sane Carroll
    Morata Jesus Kane

    Built for the coming weeks with most players having a great run of fixs.
    Should I save the FT and leave the 2 mill in the bank?

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

      Jesus to Kun maybe?

      1. WE ARE RANGERS
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Thought about that but scared of Kun gets dropped Jesus starts scenario

  23. ooooo
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    What's the average?

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

      It's the sum of all total scores ,divided by the total number of players

      1. ooooo
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        correct

  24. That Was Easy!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Dropped outside the top 1M after a 29 point week.

    Don't remember when I've been this far off the pace...almost looking forward to the chase!

    Anyone else in a similar position or has been before? I suppose it allows you to play the game more freely. I've used FFS too much this year, might go back to some simple fixtures and eye test picks.

    1. fedolefan
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Have the ranks been updated?

      1. That Was Easy!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Don't believe so, but I was around 950k and had a poor day today, so think I'll be around there.

  25. Ask Yourself
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    So then for GW 14
    1) Keep silva and Naughton
    2) Trade for groß and azpi

    1. chilli con kone
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Keep. That's not worth 2 transfers

      1. Ask Yourself
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Feel azpi somewhat essential for this run and Naughton is horribly frustrating. Feel groß and silva do very similar things

  26. chilli con kone
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Repost

    Eliot / 4.0

    Alonso / Jones / Kiko / Naughton / 3.9

    Salah / Silva / Sterling / Carroll / RLC

    Morata / Kane / Firmino

    A. Firmino and Alonso > Lukaku and Daniels -4
    B. Firmino and Sterling > Lukaku and Richardson -4
    C. Save

    Worried of a Utd backlash in the next few strong fixtures.

  27. Cocky Spaniel Alves
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Is any of Kane/Ramsey/Azpi gonna rise tonight?

    1. PlayPercentage
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Probably not. International break (yawn).
      Business is slow.

    2. chilli con kone
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Unlikely

      1. Cocky Spaniel Alves
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Ta

  28. dhamphiir
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Which duo are better?
    A. Fabianski + Duffy
    B. Ryan + Naughton

  29. PlayPercentage
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    What to with Davies?
    The Spurs full back position is a rotation minefield. There will be points hauls for Spurs defenders over the season, but it is a major money drain if your selection does not start, or gets a 1 pointer.

    1. That Was Easy!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Absolutely have to sell.

      1. PlayPercentage
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Yes, but who for? Another Spurs defender?

        1. Moosie the Staggie
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 5 months ago

          No.
          The centre backs aren't worth their price tags imo.
