Dugout Discussion

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.

I'm not really happy about the Aguero red card. Aguero owners who don't have Ibra/Costa are going to get either of them.

  I'd hang on until we know what comes out of the brawl at the end. But Costa's looking like a season keeper at the minute, unplayable.

Would you do all these transfers for -8?

Vertonghen > Alonso
Arnautovic > Siggy
Aguero > (C)osta

I think just the last 2 would be sensible - but Vertonghen could get suspended today.

  Well enough to give the interview anyway. I thought his walk off the pitch didn't look particularly painful so assumed he was just being careful.

As a Costa owner, I hope he is flagged all week and we don't hear the verdict about Aguero before Tuesday. Don't want everyone jumping on the Costa wagon that easily.
