The Dugout Discussion – Manchester City vs Chelsea

3 December 2016 2052 comments

Paul

Gameweek 14 gets up and running this Saturday lunchtime as Manchester City entertain Chelsea at the Etihad.

This sees the two most popular forwards in Fantasy Premier League, Sergio Aguero and Diego Costa, go head-to-head, with the Argentine looking to improve a record that has seen him score just twice in front of his own supporters to date.

He faces a tough task, though, considering that the visitors have conceded once in the last seven rounds of fixtures.

Costa, meanwhile, has scored in all but one of his away appearances and rolls up as the most consistent player in FPL, with returns in 11 of the first 13 Gameweeks.

The top scoring player in FPL, Eden Hazard has toiled on his travels, scoring just one of his seven strikes outside of Stamford Bridge.

Benched away to Burnley last time around, there’s no surprise to see Kevin De Bruyne return to the City first XI as Pep Guardiola looks for the win that would leapfrog the visitors into first.

Take your chances. Poor on Kun and KDB. Could have buried this game before Chelsea got a whiff.

Alonso on a BAP. 😆

His assist was probably his first pass to a Chelsea player today.

So in 8 games Chelsea have conceded 2 goals.

One being an absolute screamer, and the other an OG.

  Thinking this too. But it's still Aguero. I'm struggling to pull the trigger.

So that might have been a 10 point goal for those of us who ordered the Alonso and Hazard combo meal?

This Hazard goal is a blessing in disguise. Now people here will think he 'covers' Costa and ignore Costa 😛

Hazard and Costa double up doing the business. Alonso on the bench not so smart.

Tactical masterclass from Pep.

One thing about KDB that still gets me is how he can be so bad at doing simple things, but so good at doing incredible things. Bizarre.
