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.

        With those players though its likely not to be a disastrous weekend even if they dont perform

      Show a bit of humility and class, please.

      Don't be smug.

          Think of people with low scores before you start strutting about your flakey Son points.

            I'll think of them when Im facing hundreds of people with my bad score next week streaming or on the scoutcast.

            For now Ive had a good week so far and I'll enjoy it.

            If you don't like it just ignore my posts on here and unfollow me on Twitter. You'll likely enjoy yourself a lot more.

              I'm pleased for you, Andy. Fair play. For all you give to the FFS and FPL community, you certainly deserve a cracking gameweek.

              Sorry for being a d*ck.

      Decent, a little scared about tomorrow and Monday though!

      1. andy85wsm
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Which big hitters dont you own for remaining games?

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

          Ibra, Vardy and Valencia

          1. andy85wsm
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            No Vardy here either. Hoping Everton can do the business.

  2. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    How did kane look today please? Missed the game

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Dangerous

    2. MR SUNSHINE
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Hit the bar at the end of the match. Scary to go without him imo

    3. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Didnt look too rusty and played well.

      A must for me next week I think

      1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Me too...have to lose kaku or Ibrah.. big decision

  3. Hurricane Gilbert
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone else who benched/transfered out Alonso this week?

    I had a good bench so decided to play Baines instead of Alonso, because I thought that Bournemouth should score...

    1. MR SUNSHINE
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      To be fair mate you were justified. Alonso's form was terrible going into this game. When they conceded I was close to rage transferring (yosh and Gibson on my bench)

  4. F4L
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    45 with 4 left to go; seems a bit below average on here tbh

    1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      56 with 4 if king gets 2bp. I had no Kun so consider myself very lucky

      1. F4L
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I didn't see the City game? Was Kun unlucky not to score again?

        1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          He had a quiet first half then played pin ball when he shot and it hit 2 defenders. Kun was very lucky today.

  5. Messiah Hazard
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Will Walker start next week?

    1. william prunier
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Yes

      1. Jimmers
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Not necessarily - Trippier was very good today

    2. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Don't care he's out for me to fund Kane.

  6. JJeyy
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    A) Carroll + Siggy + Coleman ---> Kane + Hojberg + Holdgate (-4)

    B) Carroll + Vardy ---> Kane + 5.0 md

    1. william prunier
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Neither, think again

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

    Currently on for 10 BPS (non doubled for captaincy)

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

    What an ugly team Sheffield Wednesday are.

    Hope they get to the playoff final and lose

  9. Pocky
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Great day for me 65 (or 66 if Alonso sneaks bonus) De Gea Valencia Sanchez Lukaku to go & King on the bench! £75 win on the National & a free leg of lamb from the boss at work!

    1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Nice one

      You can keep the lamb though.. ugh

    2. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      You jammy swine!

      Wish my boss would give me a leg of lamb.

    If only Siggy got returns it would of been a full house 🙁

  11. itwaswritten
    • 7 Years

    Kinda hope Valencia get rested for DGWs.

  12. Barcelinda
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Someone mentioned Vardy may not play? Any links or more info?

    Thanks

    1. Ben the Mee
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Champs league midweek means there's a strong chance of rest/rotation from the former Tinkerman

    2. Sims
      • 7 Years

      Just looked at the stats for the game:

      The Final BAP is definitely going to go to Azpilicueta

      SON OWNERS UNITE!!!

        • 15 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Cancelled my Siggy to son move when i heard kane was back..annoying

        1. My Name Is Prince
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          It will pay off in the long-run

      2. andy85wsm
        • Has Moderation Rights

        Still waiting on the assist news 🙂

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

          Never in a million years!

        2. My Name Is Prince
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          It clearly wasn't an assist mate 😀

          1. andy85wsm
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Ha! I know but given they're takin so long one can dream 🙂

    4. Waynoo
      • 10 Years

      nightmare day for me

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

        +1

    5. My Name Is Prince
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Who to get rid in order to get Kane?

      Alli - Eriksen - Davies

      Has to be Davies, right, as Rose will eventually be back... If so, which Boro def to get for him? Is Ayala nailed?

      1. MR SUNSHINE
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Davies. More upside with the others

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

        In the same boat. Probably gonna have to part ways with Bavies (though I don't want to)

        Gibson the most nailed Middlesbrough defender. I'm gonna have to go for Barragan though I think...need funds to do Lukaku -> Kane.

    6. HVT
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Who to sell?
      A - Aguero
      B - Costa

      1. My Name Is Prince
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        B

      2. andy85wsm
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Costa for me

        1. HVT
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          It's for Kane, other will prob go to Ibra in time anyway

    7. Ninja Škrtel
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      so its 3 baps for Kun?

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Ridiculous

      2. Syd.
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Yes

      3. My Name Is Prince
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Delicious

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

        And six for those who captained him! 😀

    8. Syd.
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I got points from my defence for a change

      Valdes - Bertrand - Alonso

      Valencia still to play

    9. F4L
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      who wins:

      A - Ibra and Valencia
      or
      B - Baines + 9?

      1. Sandy Ravage
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        A

    10. Pariße
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      All Real Madrid attackers look alike.

    11. Sims
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      How come people have so many remaining??

      Only 2 here. Valencia is the only other player I can think of that most will still have left to play

      1. F4L
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        lol

      2. sunzip14
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Sanchez, Ibra, Lukaku, Valencia, Zaha, Holgate to go. 40pts currently.

      3. andy85wsm
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Theres still some pretty big hitters to go who are owned by many. Lukaku, Sanchez, Valencia.

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

        Lukaku and Sanchez also popular

    12. FPL Maldini
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Does anyone know why Negredo didn't play?

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Can't score

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

        Boro love a 0-0. Hence why Gestede played!

    13. sunzip14
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Hoping for a Holgate/Valencia clean sheet or a no show! Have Yoshida 9 pts staring!!!

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

      Is Kun to Kane going to be popular around here?

      Hard to keep justifying no double figure returns for a 13m player, especially when Jesus will return soon.

      It's the easiest way to get in Kane without destroying my team. Also my other striker is Lukaku and his high ownership means I'm reluctant to sell.

      1. My Name Is Prince
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Yes, I can afford Lukaku --> Ibra for GW34 with Kane as well, but not with Kun, a no-brainer really

      2. Whazza
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah.. Will see how Ibra does tomorrow though, 2 DGWs coming up

      3. andy85wsm
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Very popular I'd say.

    15. applebonkers
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      azpi will get the 1 bonus

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Whyy? Give it to Alonso he deserves it for the fk

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

        Yes alonso and Costa both dispossessed a lot

    16. F4L
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Ibra plz save me; kind regards F4L

    17. ncs3010
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Hoorah for Son, Alli, Aguero and Alonso owners 😀

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

      Currently on 60 (-4) with only Walcott and Lukaku to go.

      Need Valencia and Sanchez to blank to get a green arrow I think

    19. The Yorkshire Pirlo
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Had a mareeee!! And I thought my team looked alright. Sold Alonso and King this week.

      Heaton
      Valencia/Walker/Brunt
      Sanchez/Alli/Eriksen/Sane/Zaha
      Ibra/Lukaku
