A hugely significant fixture in the capital tonight, sees Chelsea host league-leaders Manchester City in the final outing of Gameweek 15. The Dugout Discussion has swung it’s doors wide open, so come and and digest the emerging team news…

Chelsea XI: Cech, Bosingwa, Terry, Ivanovic, Cole, Romeu, Ramires, Meireles, Mata, Drogba, Sturridge.

Man City XI: Hart, Zabaleta, Clichy, Kompany, Lescott, Barry, Yaya Toure, Milner, Silva, Balotelli, Aguero.

The visitors line-up exactly as expected, with Mario Balotelli partnering Sergio Aguero upfront, and Pablo Zabaleta replaces the injured Micah Richards. It’s the home side who make a couple of changes from the game at Newcastle, with the free-roaming David Luiz banned and the once guaranteed-starter Frank Lampard dropped. Jose Bosingwa comes in, pushing Branislav Ivanovic infield, as does Raul Meireles, slotting into the midfield.

      yes, that is how the assist system works, he won the penalty therefore he gets the assist as someone else scored it.

        It counts if he was fouled but I'm not aware there's an assist given for a handball. I'd have assumed not based on intuition. Kompany has 0, Sturridge still 5.

      Should do. Bardsley got an assist yesteday for a Formica handball, which led to Larsson's freekick.

      Here Sturridge's shot hits Lescott's arm - same scenario.

    If the penalty is for a handball on a goal-bound shot (which has already passed the goalkeeper and hence results in a sending-off), then the player taking the shot is awarded the assist. No assist is awarded for a handball that is not a goal-line clearance. Sorry :/

      From FPL rules

      In the event of a penalty or free-kick, the player earning the penalty or free-kick gets an assist if a goal is directly scored, but not if he takes it himself, in which case no assist is given.

      Thus Studge should get the assist.

    hello!

    should i make any subs? 0.4 in the bank.

    Vorm (Krul)
    Enrique, Vermaelen, Jones (RTaylor, Monk)
    Nani, Silva, Bale, Walters (Dyer)
    RVP, Ba(c), Adebayor (vc)

    Thinking about Shotton/Caulker in for Monk, Sturridge for Adebayor, or downgrading Vermaelen to get Mata in for Walters, or Rooney in for Adebayor.

    Cheers!
