Dugout Discussion

Dugout Discussion – Bournemouth vs Chelsea

The day’s events draw to a close at the Vitality Stadium as leaders Chelsea bid to extend the gap at the top with Spurs breathing down their necks.

From a Fantasy perspective, Eden Hazard is now perhaps now the main draw in the Blues camp – he’s been acquired by over 94,000 FPL managers ahead of today’s deadline, while team-mate Diego Costa has been jettisoned from 103,000+ squads.

Costa is backed by more than 447,000 (10.1%) with the captaincy but has delivered just two goals in his last eight Gameweeks. Meanwhile, Hazard, for all his increase in popularity, has just a single goal from his last six away trips.

In defence, Chelsea have gone eight Gameweeks without delivering a clean sheet and will be tested severely by a lively Bournemouth attack on home turf.

Josh King is undoubtedly their key Fantasy asset – he’s produced five goals and an assist in his last five Gameweeks and 56,000+ have swooped for the Cherries midfielder ahead this evening’s encounter.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Anyone daring to go without Kane!?

    1. Mic
      • 7 Years

      Have to drop bigRom or Kun for him so not sure

    2. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Would you drop Kun or Lukaku for him?

    3. Live Lad
      • 9 Years

      Yes. I will keep Kun. Swap for Ibra for 34. Then WC. They should score more than Kane over that period.

    4. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…

      I will drop Vardy for Kane

      Utd probably the second most nailed team to win this week behind Spurs.

        Clearly you have a pretty low opinion of Man City 😉

          lol don't even joke! Minileague is so tight I risked it but correctly predicted Aguero 9 points ish

    Which three Spurs players?

    I am thinking Alli, Kane and Vertonghen is ideal.

    Eriksen seems to be playing deeper.

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years

      Agree

    2. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Alli Kane Son

  12. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Oh wow Costa how did he not touch it

    Would have been Alonso assist

    1. Eden ACCOUNT CLOSED
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Yup! I've ditched all costly defenders except him

  13. Lizard Lips

    Perfect Alonso crosses Costa doesn't put it in.

  14. La Roja
    • 12 Years

    Wtf Costa. A piece of wood would've scored that

    I actually played against J. King back in 2006. Think he scored three or four goals against us. Our RB wanted to be subbed off at HT because he was constantly being nutmegged by King.

    1. Over Midwicket
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Loool

  17. Dr Dream

    Rumour mill has Pep eyeing up Kyle Walker for a move in the summer. That could explain a lot.

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Walker's 'injury' before the IB was questionable too... Something ain't right between him and Poch thats for sure!

      1. Dr Dream
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        All seems very iffy. He could hardly be accused of playing badly so it has to be something else.

    2. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Trippier shown he is quality

      1. Dr Dream
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I don't think anybody doubts Trippier is a good player...but so is Walker. There has to be another reason why the best defence in the prem swaps one of it's key players out.

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

      Don't see why Pep would want him or why he would want to leave... (money I suppose)

      1. Business Cat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        ...currently playing Navas at right back...that ain't great going forwards 🙂

        1. diesel001
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          BAPS would suggest otherwise. Actually think it is the midfield that lets City down - not defensive enough.

          1. Business Cat
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            I think it's actually a good idea to try to convert Navas to a wingback. Has the legs, not good enough to be an out-and-out winger. But can't defend for toffee.

            Bit like Marcos Alonso in fact 🙂

        2. Dr Dream

    Costa....

  19. Mic
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Okay as a Chelsea fan I am absolutely sick of Costa. He has no link up or touch and can only finish a fraction of the chances we give him. Donkey

  20. The Red Devil

    Out
    Origi + Alonso+ siggy
    In
    Kane + yoshida+ JWP

    For a (-4)

    1. La Roja

    King almost scored again

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      He was offside - should be getting negative BAPS for that, but referee waved play on. More flukeyness from King.

        Non-owner?

        1. diesel001
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Yep - but reminds me of Michu, Ramsey etc - they get hot, but they ain't that good. Give me Kane, Lukaku, Austin etc anyday,

    Anyone found a decent kodi addon today?

    I know we can't advertise streams here but I can't find one at all, looks like they are cracking down ?

    1. Dr Dream
      • 11 Years

      Same here...

      1. Neeskens Under Matip
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Not just me then? The Spurs game was OK on a Canadian feed, but the Chelsea one is proving a nightmare. Given up. Are the powers that be shutting kodi addons down officially or by hiring a room of Russian lads. Or is it the ISPs?
