Dugout Discussion – Chelsea vs Everton

5 November 2016 2599 comments

The final act of a dramatic day is delivered from Stamford Bridge, as Antonio Conte’s Chelsea seek a fifth straight victory and clean sheet from their clash with Everton.

While Chelsea’s defence will be a focus for some Fantasy managers, this is very much a tale of two strikers, with the in-form Diego Costa and Romelu Lukaku colliding.

The Chelsea man is backed with the armband by 8% of FPL managers, while Lukaku claims 4%. The Belgian has returned in six of his last seven Gameweeks and will provide a stern test for Conte’s rejuvenated defence.

Eden Hazard is the other headline act on show – he’s bidding for his fourth successive goal, having attracted more than 148,000 owners heading into the Gameweek – he’s backed by 3% with the captaincy.

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

    Gundogan for Firming???
    Would give me an extra 3 million in the bank and could change Benteke to Costa. Thoughts?

    My team currently is

    Pickford/Jak

    Smith/Walker/Azpi/Kos/Amat

    Hazard/Coutinho/Sanchez/Firmino/Bolasie

    Benteke/Lukaku/Crouch

          Price versus other options. With the money saved I could get a premium midfielder. And if Costa and Hazard continue this form I can see them getting more points than Aguero+Payet.

            I think that is where we differ. I think Lukaku can go on to have ~20 goals a season. I don't think its a bad transfer, just feel like it can be used to make a more significant impact.

          He stops clueless pundits wasting time on refereeing decisions so i'm all for him.

        Thinking Sanchez + Smith ---> Hazard + Alonso (have Costa but happy to triple up). Worth it for -4? Would have to do it tonight or getting priced out.

        Having Coutinho and Firmino both, should I ditch one to get Hazard? Liverpool have decent fixtures coming though

          I think it'll be worth it to lose one for Hazard.

        Planning on

        Zlatan and Sanchez to Hazard and Lukaku. Then the following week Allen to Walcott.

        Which will leave me with a midfield of

        Hazard Coutinho Firmino Walcott
