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.

    Since I sold Hazard for a .2 loss he has gone 8, 8, 14, 19. Nice.

            Ha! To get Hazard for no hit it would be Ozil (who I sold him for in the first place!)

            May take a hit though and sell someone else. Internationals ahead.

              Yep, still gives me goosebumps now if you watch it on YouTube. I don't think anyone wanted a man to score a penalty more after what happened at Italia '90.

              And then in the next penalty shootout it was more reserved but still a cool reaction.

          I want Brunt in my squad but I'm just trying to second guess where Pulis will play him. He's defo in line to start this week which will be a telling week as if he assists he will nail a starting place for the week after but I'm not sure where he will be played. Left back would be highly unlikely, he may take fletchers position as he's been playing aweful. I suppose the most likely position is Phillips as he hasn't impressed that much since being at the club. Pulis is a big fan of Brunts, I know that much!!!

              He signed by nyom who fan play there, Galloway on loan and Evans can play there. He's also looking at Taylor from Leeds in the January window so I've heard. The fans were on Pulis' back all the time for playing him left back, although I thought he played there pretty well.

            I have read somewhere that he is going to be playing in midfield, even though he is listed as a defender after playing in that position last year. He's also good on set pieces and with a nice little run of fixtures it was easy for me to drop Smith and draft Brunt in.

              So you'd rather take out Sanchez than Lukaku. My gut feeling says otherwise, so difficult to decide. Anyway, if I would go B, I am not sure I would be using the money to upgrade Fletcher who's not meant to play in my team. Rather upgrade Allen or my defence then..

          Lukaku and fletcher to Keane/Anichebe and Hazard?
          would mean my front 7 is:
          Sanchez Walcott Firmino Coutinho Hazard
          Austin Aguero

            Hahah I am thinking about doing exactly the same. Lukaku and Fletcher to Anichebe and Hazard with 2 FTs.

            Only difference is I would have Allen as my 5th mid instead of Firminho so you win on that front. Amazes me how you have the money for such a front 7 wow.

          I'm all for beating the price rise but theres no diff really between 9.9 & 10.0.

            Could be more than that. I jumped on the Gun train and he's gone up 0.3 in a couple of days since getting him. Hazard could go up 0.6 in the international break, unaffordable for me at 10.5
