Dugout Discussion – Tuesday

Another midweek Gameweek is upon us and with it surely another bout of heavy rotation.

Benches at the ready, we start with three Tuesday night fixtures with Chelsea the headline act.

Antonio Conte’s side travel to Huddersfield Town, with the Italian having already prepared us for the absence of striker Alvaro Morata. Fatigue and a back problem keeps the Spanish striker sidelined with his red flag sparking a fire sale – over 663,000 managers have shed the striker ahead of tonight’s deadline.

That leaves Eden Hazard as the key attacking asset on show at the John Smith’s stadium, with the Belgian seemingly thrust into a central attacking role by Conte tonight. Hazard has already produced big scores on the road and will be fancied for further returns against a Terriers defence that has creaked of late.

Meanwhile, those holding Blues defender will hope for a reversal of fortunes following just a single clean sheet from the last four Gameweeks. Andreas Christensen makes his seventh successive start in Chelsea’s back three tonight.

Defence will also be the focus at Turf Moor, where Burnley host Stoke City. Ben Mee and Matt Lowton again miss out for Sean Dyche’s side, though left-back Stephen Ward takes his 25.5% ownership into the clash with the Potters.

Finally, at Selhurst Park, we’d expect defences to play second fiddle in the meeting of Crystal Palace and Watford. Both field attacking line-ups, with Richarlison starting for the visitors despite the pre-match talk of a rest for the Brazilian. Ruben Loftus-Cheek – a fifth midfielder in 440,000+ squads, could yet become a key figure and a hero in tonight’s clash.

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

        Had it originally planned for final week in December but injuries are catching up with me now.

      2. Frank Koscielny
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Wait for news on Richarlison. And Mee should be ready for the weekend. I’ll probably save the wildcard for later

    Green arrow with a -12 hit

    1. Homo Neanderthalensis
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      -12 wouldn't have taken effect yet though 😉

      1. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Yes it does.

        1. Homo Neanderthalensis
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          The -12 points comes off 1 hour after the final game of the week... that's tomorrow

            you're mis-informed then I you think this

              I conceed you are correct! Just looked at the rules lol. Start of the GW it is! 🙂

      2. GXNG
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Are you sure? I doubt I would've only rose 10k having 14 points above average. @ 355k

  5. Messsiaah

    6 years, 4 months ago

    What to do with these?
    Kiko
    Ward
    Richarlison
    Morata

    1. TorresMagic™

      Just relax, longer list after tomorrow.

      1. La Gazzetta
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Would take long term injuries for me to sell Richarlison and Morata. Kiko came on so looks good for a start at the weekend. Not sure about Ward probably the first one on that list I would think about cashing in on.

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          Kiko went off just as fast.

          1. La Gazzetta
            • 6 Years
            6 years, 4 months ago

            Did he come on in the 84th then go off injured?

            1. badgerboy
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 8 Years
              6 years, 4 months ago

              Yep. Was hobbling into the tunnel just as the final whistle went.

            2. CloudSky
              • 7 Years
              6 years, 4 months ago

              Yes

                6 years, 4 months ago

                Thanks guys, I was considering bringing in. Might stay away from Watford for now.

      Congrats - 100 k

  9. Dr Dream
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    With a stiff breeze behind him and new/SWA to play Rooney has every chance of becoming the second highest scoring forward on FPL...maybe...

    That wouldn't be bad for somebody who's actually a bit crap these days....and really sums up why there's a good argument for 3-5-2 or 4-5-1...

    1. barracuda
      • 7 Years

      Waxys says hi

      1. Dr Dream
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Aye. Already has the same number of goals as Lukaku, Lacazette and Jesus...and only one behind Morata...You couldn't make it up really...

    2. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah but Xmas is coming and Mrs R is off on hols again...

      1. Dr Dream
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        It's not really a post supporting Rooney but a post pointing out how average some of those other picks are for the money paid...

        1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          agree. pens, no euro footy, assists in locker, cheapish

          1. Dr Dream
            • 11 Years
            6 years, 4 months ago

            Aye...and can barely string two good passes together some weeks....

      Until Coleman back which could be sooner than previously thought. Coleman wants to be back around Xmas

  13. Salah’s Sonnet

    Got to be happy going from 1.4 mil to 600k in two gameweeks haven't i?..............haven't i? 🙂

      No mate I’d be devastated

      1. Salah’s Sonnet

        seriously?

    2. Yozzer
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      It's progress

  14. Bird Raymond
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    What happens if you win your cup tie then delete your team?

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      You can't delete your team.

      1. Bird Raymond
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        So if you delete your account does it just stay as a ghost team?

      2. Yozzer
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Technically you can. You tell FPL you need them to delete all your personal details off their system they can't refuse. Data protection act baby !!

    2. OPTA FPL
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Lol

    3. F4L
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      criss-cross

  15. wulfrunian
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Dunk or Duffy?

    1. Mick J
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      What about neither? But Dunk is cheaper.

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Neither. Dunk loves OGs while Duffer is a booking away from ban.

    3. wulfrunian
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      thanks but they have 2 nc fixtures.

  16. camarozz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Morata, Mee, Richarlson injured. Ramsey last wk.

    Ya know what I'm gonna do? Nothing!! Coz it makes no difference this season.

    1. OPTA FPL
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      I have all plus Moreno mee
      Did -8 last 2 gw

    2. barracuda
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      😀

  17. F4L
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    anyone even look at FPL draft anymore? why don't they just make the FH chip a game in itself, just pick your best 15 every week at a budget of 100mil.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      People already do that.

      1. F4L
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        fair enough 🙂

      2. Dr Dream
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Yes they do...I'm going out with some friends next Friday who run a league based on weekly pts alone...and for quids...hits don't matter...

        I used to play in it when I worked with them and it's actually a good way to play...

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      You should move to Egypt, that's their national sport.

      1. F4L
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        😛

    3. Philman
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Yahoo do this every GW for a starting XI. And it was FanDuel last season.

      Every year I always play a Daily Fantasy Football site.

      1. F4L
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        nice. Must be a more enjoyable way to play the game I think

        1. Dr Dream
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 4 months ago

          It is...and there are many ways to play...

          I run a junior footy team (U18's) who have a league together. They watch games together via IPad and love FPL...not one of them ever has any idea where they are for OR...but they all know who's winning their ML...

          We really are in the minority on here for how we play fantasy football..

      2. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        i won a few bob on fanduel but clueless on yahoo so far

  18. Cuchu
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Gray or Deeney? Watford will have 3 home games in next 4 games (and max 7.2 to use).

    1. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      They will share the minutes between them so neither really.

      1. Cuchu
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Yep, any stand out forward option for next few games in price bracket of max 7.2? Currently I have Wilson put he needs to go.

    2. wulfrunian
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Gray

    3. lugs
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Deeney , but because of injury's and suspensions Watford are really going to struggle to put a decent team out over the next few games so it will probably be best to avoid

      1. Cuchu
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        True but on paper nice fixtures coming 🙂

  19. Sadio
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    11 points for Pope get in there, as you were LG x

  20. Magic Bean
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    A drop from 53K to 61K, I'll take that with (K)ane to come thank you very much!

  21. I Have No Idea What I'…
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    2 Free Transfers, £0.2m in the bank and 40 minutes to sell Abraham before the price drop, but who do I bring in?

    De Gea, Lossl
    Bertrand, Otamendi, Gomez, Daniels, Mustafi
    Coutinho, Salah, Hazard, Davis, RLC
    Kane, Rooney, Abraham

    Any suggestions?

  22. Reggie Nainggolan
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Morata
    PP 10.3
    CP 10.5
    SP 10.8

    If he drops to 10.7 is his CP remain 10.5 or drop to 10.4?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Same gap so 10.5

    2. F4L
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      remain 10.5

    3. CloudSky
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      10.5

    4. Reggie Nainggolan
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Alright thanks. Got confused for some reason lol

  23. jia you
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Did the Ward injury look serious guys?

  24. panda07
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Playing a dead team in the cup, he's got 16 pts from 1 player (Willian). He's got a crap team but I know I'm going to get beaten.

    1. Stevie B
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      We are in the same boat. My opponent has also a few players, who did not played since weeks. But on the bench is Kane. Who put a 12.9 price player every week on the bench?

  25. Oscar Slater
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    I'm surprised to see that Richarlison is only the 15th highest rated PPG midfielder; I assumed he'd be in the top ten. I'm even more surprised to see that Shaqiri comfortably betters him in the last eight GWs by 45 points to 33 (Shaqiri missed GW9).

    Should he be actually be injured, it looks like we have a ready made replacement with to fill his size 10's. Stoke's next dozen fixtures are an added bonus (only two of them are against teams with any aspirations of finishing in the top six).

    1. Alonso The Great Midfielder
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      shaqiri will be my player this week...either for richa or zaha

    2. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      You may well be right there.

    3. barracuda
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Beautiful! Cheers Brigadier.

    4. barracuda
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      He loves baps too, unlike El Ricco

  26. Alonso The Great Midfielder
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    worth keeping zaha? he just like home fixtures and his next two home fixtures are Arsenal and City...

  27. Skyarm
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Have Morata Richarlison and Ward.
    hold currently?

    1. Magic Bean
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Gotta hold for now

    2. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Yep, hold for now.

  28. Over Midwicket
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Alonso, Ward, Azpi, Kiko, Morata owners. It's real tough to keep up the enthusiasm right now.

    1. CloudSky
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Think its just best to sleep and dont think about it till Friday. Going to be easier with more info.

    2. Afghanistanislas
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      + Mee, Mustafi, Zeegelaar...

    3. Magic Bean
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Injuries happen when the fixtures are congested, always. Lots of people in the same boat.
      You can only blame yourself for doubling up on Azpi and Alonso though....

    4. TLF
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Alonso and Azpi both injured??

      1. Odikostar
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Nah, but last minute cleen sheet wipeout

    5. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      Morata's back at the weekend. I aint upset. 🙂

  29. CloudSky
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Only 123 points of the top. Easy.

  30. Enzo the Baker
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 4 months ago

    Anyone else thinking of getting Groß for the next 6 weeks ?
    His fixtures are : BUR WAT che new BOU wba

    Might upgrade RLC to him (or swap Richarlison -> Groß if the injury is serious)...

    1. Oscar Slater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      I've got him but I'm getting rid of him the first chance I get. Both he and Brighton have ran their race and it's time to abandon ship,

      1. La Gazzetta
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        More people seem to be selling than buying. I've got him too and I'm sort of stuck with him. Not really expecting much from here.

      2. Reiger
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 4 months ago

        Agree. Groß peaked more than a month ago.

    2. Alonso The Great Midfielder
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 4 months ago

      thinking of get rid
