Dugout Discussion

Dugout Discussion – Burnley vs Chelsea

Sunday treats us to two more Gameweek 25 matches as Burnley entertain Chelsea in the early 1.30pm kick-off.

The Clarets may well offer stubborn resistance to the league leaders today. Sean Dyche’s men are no pushovers in front of their own fans, with just a single goal conceded in the last four at Turf Moor.

Yet that fine home record clearly hasn’t deterred those holding Chelsea’s main men.

Handed the armband by 10.9% and 4.9% FPL managers respectively, Diego Costa and Eden Hazard are amongst the top six captained players for this round of fixtures.

Faith in Marcos Alonso is also on the rise – he was subject to over 111,000 transfers in after netting for the fourth time this season in last week’s win over Arsenal. The Spaniard continues to offer a steady stream of points at both ends of the pitch, producing a goal, assist or clean sheet in 15 of his 18 starts under Antonio Conte.

Subsequently, Clarets stopper Tom Heaton – the top scoring keeper in FPL – has been named as a sub by 403,000+ managers this week, he third most benched player in the Gameweek.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    FPL given the goal to matic, looks like he got a touch on it before it went in

    1. Tansey
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Looks like it clipped off one of Luiz's hairs so it's his goal

  15. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Going by the logic from yesterday surely this is an Alonso goal with Pedro assist?

  16. Kaneyonero
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Get in hazard pedro scores! get in pedro, willian scores! Get in pedro, hazard scores. It's a death cycle with these chelsea players. Buy all of them, the defenders start scoring like Alonso. Chirst it is a lottery out there.

  17. F4L

    Time to ditch Heaton methinks. Jaku all the way

    1. Point-one short
      • 7 Years

    Have a dilemma folks..
    Made a £10 free bet for a 9 team accumulator last two teams man city and athletico Madrid(home to celta vigo) should I cash out for 60 or wait it through??(for 130)

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Wait

    2. Sailboats
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      All or nothing

    3. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Hope you have not cashed out - Atletico just gone ahead.

      He will get back up as he has to have a pen saved later.

    Best moves? 2FTs .3itb

    A) Pickford + Ibra ➡ Jaku + Costa
    B) Kingsley + Ibra ➡ Maguire + Costa
    C) One defensive move listed above, plus Alli/Erik > Mané and leave Ibra on bench.

    1. Business Cat

      B

      Pickford likely coming back...Kingsley probably never will

  23. SirStevieG

    Who came on for Hazard?

    1. djenzio
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      did he come off?

      1. Numb
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        I assume he won't be playing with an injury

      2. Lawrø
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        No, it's all a little odd. He went down off the ball gesturing towards his left leg but he's still playing now
