The Dugout Discussion – Chelsea vs Swansea

Today’s action concludes with a fitting climax, as we drop in on the champions at Stamford Bridge.

Jose Mourinho’s Chelsea go into the opening day clash with Swansea having won 15 of their 19 home league matches, without suffering defeat.

However, Garry Monk’s side turn up having claimed all three points at Old Trafford on the opening day of last season and will be looking to improve on their performances against the Blues: they shipped nine goals to them last term, suffering 5-0 and 4-2 defeats.

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

        Kun is one I also want in but want to see consistent scoring and minutes for a few games before putting 13m on the table. But I get your point.

      He didn't start slow he looked pretty dangerous. Chelsea were overall fairly poor and had 10 men for a while

      See I really want to bring Haz in but my gut said wait a few weeks. Slow was perhaps a poor description of him today but certainly for the outlay you would expect at least an assist or a goal every week.

    Have to say very impressed with Swansea, they were great today. Shelvey looked very good and thought Montero gave Ivanovic a hard days work.

      Yep. Fabregas -> Ayew is up for consideration...

      Montero (0.2%) gives absolutely everyone a hard day...If he had consistent time and service he would destroy Hazard in the successful take-ons department. Ighalo (0.6% ownership) will be similar for Watford.

    Didn't get any fantasy points today but Shelvey looks like a different animal, could be in for a big season.

      I've always been impressed with Shelvey. I think people forget how young he is as well because of his shiny bald head

      If he doesn't get dropped for dickishness at the club, then he'll be great. Bit of a tosser at times though

    8 points from 4 players with Ayew on the bench. 🙁

    Sorry if this has already been asked but is Mahrez's price likely to go up tonight or could I get away with waiting until tomorrow?
