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.

    Costa should get BAPS for getting fouled.

      do you own him Mr Salt?

      1. diesel001

        Yep and Alonso. But not King.

        1. Mic
          • 7 Years

          I assumed

    Alonso sold this week. King on bench 🙂

    1. Webbinho

      Disaster of a week, Sold Alonso and Coutinho for Davies and Eriksen, benched King. One large red arrow incoming.

      1. Sonic Huth

        I got Gibson in (9 pts) and Aguero in (c)
        So dont know how should i feel

        1. FC nelo
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Gibson 8 I think? Brought him in for Bertrand so I guess i can be happy. But no Carroll with Deeney first on bench was not the best strike force..

    The battle for the last bap is intense. Grab another goal Alonso my son.

  8. Flynny

    Do folk think vardy will get any minutes tomo?

    Either from the start or off bench?

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Should start

      1. David Davros
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        As a Leicester fan I disagree. Would expect him to be rested

    2. Hakuho FPL
      • 13 Years

      75 mins from the start

      First proper test for Shakespeare IMO. 5 of his 6 games so far have been at home where Leicester have had a strong record (even under Ranieri - they beat Liverpool and Man City). His only away game was against a West Ham side dropping like a stone.Tomorrow Leicester are playing away against an Everton side who have won every home game since 1 Jan 2017 and have conceded only 3 goals at home since the turn of the new year (all in one game against Bournemouth).

        They beat Liverpool with Shakespeare
        but i agree it will be tough

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

          Liverpool are poor away from home against teams in the Bottom 10.

    4. Rainer
      • 7 Years

      36 points in the bag but 15 behind Everton. Nothing to play for in the Prem. Surely wont play much more than an hour.

  9. troller

    1. Flynny
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Who would u sell for?

      Prob only worth getting big hitter or dgw player...

    Now I'm with 65 points without bonus points including Lukaku and Valencia left.
    Not bad 🙂

  13. fedolefan
    • 10 Years

    Week of the template this. Bad as someone who doesn't pick too many template players.

  14. Stupendous
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Would you do either of these...

    A) Walker, Firmino and Aguero
    To
    Alonso, Hazard and Kane
    Or

    B) Just Firmino and Aguero
    To Hazard and Aguero

    1. Stupendous
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Hazard and Kane that is

    2. Sweetboi
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Lol. I wouldn't bring in Alonso.

      1. Stupendous
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Walker needs to go

  15. Mario Balofail
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Alonso made my day...King made it even better 😉

  16. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    If Deeney didn't play, I could've had King and Yoshida off the bench. I am fuming

  17. Hakuho FPL
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Lets go King overtake Haz for 3 BPS

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

    Hazard OFF
    The nailed Cesc ON

    1. Mic

    When are these DGWs going to get confirmed?

  21. mcrayeps

    1. Mic
      • 7 Years

      He's been poor

  22. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Walker has been an absolute troll for me this season.

  23. Robe Wan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    King is a real pain in the ass

  24. Webbinho
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    So annoyed, played Llorente against the tripe that is West Ham and benched King. Another 8pts down the drain.

  25. camarozz

    I take it back. Not absolutely disgusted with Alonso anymore. Just ever so slightly.

  26. Lizard Lips
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Non King owner Alonso owner, King slaps in a massively deflected goal to rid the CS, talk about a rank killer.

  27. Jonny Sutt
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone swapping walker for Davies?

  28. Eh, just one more thing ...
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Stephens (9 pts), Bertrand (6pts) and King (7 pts and counting) ... All on my bench. And part timers McAuley and Antonio throw a point each in my face. That hurts.

    1. Sterling is £11Mill..…
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I have Son on my bench and wont featrure unless Lukaku hurts himself tonight :\

    First week I benched Alonso (for Baines). Feeling sick right now. Of course he scores a lovely free kick in this game after 2,2,2,6,1,2 since GW25

  30. WVA
    • 7 Years

    Took Alonso out in game week 20.
    Took Alonso out last week
