The Dugout Discussion – Gameweek 1 – Monday

The final match of Gameweek 1 arrives this evening as promoted Burnley prepare for the visit of Jose Mourinho’s Chelsea. The Blues are heavily backed heading into this one, with both Eden Hazard and Cesc Fabregas currently sitting in more than 20% of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) teams, while up front, summer signing Diego Costa will be looking to grab the goals and strengthen his armband credentials ahead of next week’s home encounter with Leicester:

Certainly, the stage is set for Costa to deliver after a disappointing series of displays from a number of forwards over the weekend, where only one (Saido Berahino) managed double-figure returns.

At the back, Jose Mourinho opts for Thibaut Courtois between the sticks, with Petr Cech relegated to the Blues’ bench. The Chelsea manager keeps faith with the familiar defence that earned 18 shut-outs last term, with new boy Filipe Luis amongst the substitutes.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

          Maybe for those that are too indecisive and need 23 players to get a good score...not to mention the chance to make captain fails irrelevant

        I think we made a mistake with that too. Only picking players with 5% ownership. Virtually impossible to compete

        That is very unlucky Granville. It will either encourage you to be on time or you'll pack up about GW12.
        I hope you carry on and have a great season. Think how you'll feel winning the whole thing and saying how you didn't bother with your subs much. 😉

    Front 5, on Sky FF:

    Rooney - Sturridge (C)

    Planning Sturridge > Costa for tonights game to get Costa in as (C).

    Best move you think? Wish I had Siggy but seems mad dropping any of the first 4!

    Kun

    Finances are the struggle.

    Wondering whether to go Caulker to Chester which saves me 0.5m, gives ok fixtures and avoids the likely price hike.

    Not doing anything til tonight's game ends.

    Not really knee jerky as it was Chester or Caulker when I set the team up and that 0.5m is all part of the long term acquisition of future targets.
