The Dugout Discussion – Arsenal vs Chelsea

Saturday’s events draw to a close at the Emirates as two heavyweights collide in the tea-time kick-off.

Arsenal host Antonio Conte’s Chelsea as both sides bid to keep pace with a perfect Manchester City at the top of the table.

The big team news finds Cesc Fabregas back in the Blues line-up following his midweek brace in the EFL Cup – Oscar makes way.

Fantasy managers will be more concerned with the fortunes of Diego Costa, Eden Hazard and Alexis Sanchez.

Sanchez heads into the encounter with goals and confidence flowing, although worringly, he has failed to score in his last four league appearances in front of his home fans.

Costa has five goals for the season, notching in four of his five Gameweeks, while Hazard will be looking to break a run of two blanks having been sold by over 350,000 FPL managers ahead of Gameweek 6.

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

    Arsenal's second goal tonight is a beauty. It must be in top ten at the end of season for sure.

    I think my team did 17 points better than the one I would've had if I kept Ibra. So far, so good.

    Fully expect that lead to be heavily dented next week though. Ibra owners were unlucky today.

            Capoue will never score a hattrick in a month of Sundays. He'll never even and has never even scored 2. But I wouldn't do that anyway, not this week. Ibra's liable to go crazy against stoke and I like the Leko 5th mid shout, he's gonna get minutes.

        Ibra Lukaku Negredo

        Don't know what to do.. the defence is a mess but I'm also very keen to get Augero in. KDB injury has scuppered my plans

        Shaw, Ibra > Holebas, Aguero for -4?
        Or keep Ibra for now and use FT to sort defence?

        My mid field line up:

        Hazard Capoue Cazorla Antonio Mane

        Going for the Hazard --> Sanchez swap

        For that, I will have to replace Cazorla with a 7.3 priced mid.

        Who should it be?

        Should I go for a Liverpool double and bring in Lallana?

        Please help.

        The only problem is which Liverpool midfielder....Lallana, Firminho, Mane, Coutinho - That's way too many options, and every week, more than one might miss out.

        Messed by not captaining Aguero, captained Firminho, but still feeling good about my team.

            Liverpool midfield is a conundrum....Any of them will be in the goals and any of them won't be.

          Mane gives them a different option being so rapid, I am sticking with him

        Sanchez only 1 goal behind Thierry Henry in first 100 matches. 😯

        With Kaku not looking up to much, Ibra not scoring in a 4 goal rout, Arsenal and Liverpool not playing a striker regularly, I'm struggling with what to do with my front line....

        352 looks more appealing than ever for me.
