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.

    Brunt + Costa --> Holgate + Kane (-4)

    Good moves? Can't do that transfer after Kane price rise...

      B Davies + Lukaku > Pennington + Kane

      Yay or Nay?

        I would wait and see how Lukaku preforms tomorrow.

      Can anyone confirm whether Kane's price will be locked? Fplstats has him rising tonight?

        Prices are locked 7 days after red flag is removed. Don't believe FPL or the jokers telling you otherwise on here.

              Apparently they switched to a yellow? Yellow then removed

                Oh then I have no idea. The jokers might be right! 😛

            Wasn't he yellow flagged though? If it's red --> yellow --> green then it's not locked?

        Kun 3 baps is ridiculous. BRING BACK THE MAN IN THE STAND!

            Both are very fair systems this week.

          Anyone getting janssen in? He is due

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

            Due to sit on the bench as Kane is back

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

          So What formation did Spurs play today?? As I see both Janssen & Son started. What I'm really asking I suppose is, will Son play now Kane's back?? and if so, where??

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

            Son was on the left flank

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

            Son was a winger, so Kane will take Janssen's spot

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

              Cool, Thanks Guys...I may just hold off Kane & keep Son for 1 more week then.

            Im really not sure on Sanchez at least given Palace have been defending well.

            If Welbeck plays I wont be hopeful.

            • 11 Years

            Definitely. Is he fit though?

            I need a new defender and while he has a bad DGW he has good home games either side.

            Hoping for some good news on him.

            I can afford Walker,Vardy > PVA/Gibson,Kane for free

        13. Rossamous
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          48 with Baines, Sanchez, Ibra, Lukaku, Vardy to play. About average on here?

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

            Above average

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

              Could be looking at 70+ in the end I reckon

          7 years, 2 months ago

          Alonso Walker Brunt Holebas Pieters

          The Most Useless Expensive Defence Ever?

          Can't wait to ship all of them on WC. Alonso goal didn't make up for weeks of blanking

            • 12 Years

            I suspect they will tighten up again to see the league out

            Not happy with Alonso eighter. Brunt has terrible Fixtures coming up. i have both still.

            • 12 Years

          1. Les Bleus
            • 12 Years

            Vardy easy

            • 8 Years

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          Vardy to Kane and BDavies to Holgate? Yes or No

          1. HVT
            • 13 Years

            Solid, pity to lose Bavies

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 2 months ago

              I know. Other option is Eriksen or Alli to Sane or Walcott. But think Eriksen and Alli more important as season keepers

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

                Yea makes sense when you put it like that.
                Think I'll go Zaha over King,
                3 games V 2 and King has Spurs away next.

        19. Budweiser
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Start Valencia (CHE) or Alonso (mu)?

            • 12 Years

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            Alonso

        20. korbendallas82
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          48 P. Lukaku, Vardy, Mahrez, Baines left. This would be fine, iff it had not been for Leicester CL looming around the corner. But i can be lucky.

          1. Pino
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years

            You mean the CL match will be postponed?

          • 8 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          On review by Opta, confirmed no assist for Spurs’ 2nd goal. Son’s shot blocked and then takes a 2nd significant touch off a defender #FPL

          Costa getting 21 bps with 2 assists lol

          His owners should consider themselves lucky he even needed up with 2 assists

            Happy to get anything from him besides 2.

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

          King or Zaha?

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

            Think King is a guaranteed blank this week.

            Palace fixtures either side of double are okay. I'd be tempted by Zaha

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

            Why not both? great value

          3. Numb
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 2 months ago

            King looks the obvious choice
