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.

Well let's see now if that -8 pays out. Gundogan, Lukaku, Coutinho to Pedro, Austin, Siggy

If Costa played in that Man City team, he would have got a double hattrick.

Kun just had to get frustrated. Was so wasteful today. Could have had a hat-trick so he lashed out.

Ah well, Costa isn't injured right? Think I'll finally get him in

Surely a four game ban as he's already been done for violent conduct this season.

Given that Chelsea are quite clearly favourites to win the league, the fabled double/triple up seems imminent. Choosing between Costa and Ibra when you own Hazard + Chelsea Defender is do or die.

So will Fabregas get a ban for slapping Fernandinho before Fernandinho pushed him?

Man Utd:

14 Dec 20:00 Crystal Palace (A)
17 Dec 17:30 West Brom (A)
26 Dec 15:00 Sunderland (H)
31 Dec 15:00 Middlesbrough (H)
