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.

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

      Sure, an overall score of 65 wouldn't be bad at all :p

    8. Rainer
      • 7 Years

      Ok, not good, far from great.

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

      Nope.

      I have 70 with Lukaku and valencia left and feel its below par this week....

    10. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 15 Years

      Probably going to be near by quite a few this gw

  2. PURPLE-RONNIE
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Davies and Vardy to Kane and Stevens worth a -4 lads?

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

    Sanchez, walker, origi > Kane, coutihno and some cheapie defender from Leicester or hull. Good idea? Is coutihno ok only 45 mins? Did he start or come on

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

      Keep sanchez, Cout came on and is ok

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

        Hmm well hopefully Sanchez does something tomorrow and I'm ok keeping him then

  4. Les Bleus
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    I reckon this will be a popular question this week, but if you had triple Spurs in Davies and two of Eriksen/Alli/Son, would you take one out to fit in Kane? Or just roll with the same three this GW?

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

      Only change if you think someone will get Kane

      1. Les Bleus
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Don't understand.

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

          Thats mini league speak...meaning, if youre in a mini league you care about and are trailing/leading, you may want to 'block' by getting Kane (if others have him).

          Meaningless if mini league isnt a priority.

    2. Arn De Gothia
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      keep

    3. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      The question is will Poch go with the 4-5-1 again and just put Kane in for Jansen

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

    Use 2FT's on:
    Vardy + Coleman ---> Kane + Yoshida

    Yes or No?

    1. Unbowed Unbent N'Golo
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Yes from me!

    2. jimmy.floyd
      • 7 Years

      Y

    3. Tomlette Greggs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      yes

  6. Unbowed Unbent N'Golo
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Costa & Brunt --> Kane & Holgate 2FT ?

  7. _Freddo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone know if Mark sold Son?

    Notice Son didn't get the assist for Dier's goal.

    1. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Yes he did

      1. _Freddo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Well what a surprise.....

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 13 Years

          Took a deflection after the first rebound but I assume you probably already know

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

          It was never an assist though, Son owner here

      2. _Freddo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        100% Son gets that if he still had him.

        Sepp Blatter wannabe.

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

    Were Costas assists ridiculous?

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

      Flukey

    2. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Both unworthy but I'll take them 🙂

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

      Heard on Talk sport it should have been costas goal

  9. We Will Klopp you
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Tempted to do Vardy and Vertonghen to Kane and Holgate now

  10. FCRS1991
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Heaton Grant
    Valencia Alonso BDavies McAuley Amat
    Sanchez Son Sane King Siggy
    Aguero Lukaku Crouch

    54 before baps with 3 to play

    0.8itb

    What would you do?
    Siggy out?
    Son out?
    Upgrade Crouch or play 3-5-2?

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

      Kun to kane?

      1. FCRS1991
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Is it worth to keep Kaku? Kun's schedule seems easier and looks like he's hitting form, plus one DGW

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

          Think I'd rather have kane...

          Kun is too expensive despite scoring....jesus will be back soon..

          And you don't need the weekly work about if pep will rotate him....

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

      Dont think so. I have 2 FTs and struggling with what to change!

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

        Only 1 FT here with little money and could really shake up the team. Thats why I am doing it.

        Will be interesting to see your thoughts in your stream!

    2. Mark-O
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Just activated and preparing for dgw beyond 34

      Not that tempted to stack up Palace's defence.. seems right?

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

        Correct. What was your team before WC? Want to compre with mine.

    3. c10™️ ⚽
      • 7 Years

      Whts ur WC team?

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

        Unsure atm. Looking at frontline of

        Eden Alli Eriksen Sane King
        Kane Lukaku (Anichebe)

        1. Carlton P
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          I WC for this week an that's almost my attack, except
          Haz > Sanchez
          Kane > Kun
          I'm happy with it

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

    Costa to Kane tonight?

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

      Absolutely!

    2. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      I'm doing it

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

    So I got rid of Coutinho since he was a doubt to fund Costa to Aguero.

    That worked out well

    1. FCRS1991
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      As he was a major doubt I got rid of him and took a hit to bring in Sane 🙁

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

        Ouch

        Thank God I did not also get rid of Alonso 😀

  14. My Name Is Pepu
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Captain Hazard delivered big time, 14 + 6 (BAPS), not bad at all eh?

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

      Meh

  15. sergioaguero67
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Is Yoshida nailed on for the DGW too?
    Or is Cedric the safe option?
    Please help.

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

      More nailed than stephens so yes

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

      Yoshida was wearing the armband today, has been playing non stop despite that long flight back from Japan. He is very important to Southampton right now, and don't see any reason why he would be dropped/rested.

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

    Captain Kane or Alli?

  17. My Name Is Pepu
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Have Spurs cover of Kane, Eriksen and Son for the Bournemouth game next weekend, good times 🙂

    1. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Lol at no Alli

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

        I had him for a long time, enjoyed his hauls when no one had him 🙂 Eriksen will SURELY outscore Alli from now till the end of the season IMO.

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

    Anyone not captaining Kane this week? 🙂

    1. Les Bleus
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      If I don't have him, then me 😛

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

      Spurs are playing the best football in the league atm. I suppose Lukaku is also tempting.

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

      Best TC left of the bunch 😉

    4. Chris_H
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Not even sure I'll buy him. Just because he's back doesn't mean he scores a hat-trick

  19. I Have No Idea What I'…
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Kane price surely locked at 11.2 with the below rule?

    FPL Statistics: When a player is injured (0% chance of playing), suspended or unavailable his price can still change in value. However, once his status has changed (to fully available) his price will be "locked".

    1. VS10_
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Nope, someone at FPL put him first to 75% on Friday and then a bit later changed to available.

      1. I Have No Idea What I'…
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Really? I never saw that. I have to sign him tonight then. Thank you

      2. VS10_
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Probably because first Spurs just posted that Kane had returned to team-training and then quotes about him being in the squad came later.

  20. Arn De Gothia
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Spursfan!!!

    Now that Kane is back... Who dropps out?

    1. Les Bleus
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Same team as today minus Jenssen I would think.

      1. Arn De Gothia
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        jesus im stupid... Thnx man

    2. A.J.
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Wanyama comes in if fit. Been outstanding all season and a Poch fav.

      1. Arn De Gothia
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        THEN who dropps?

        1. A.J.
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          Would be incredibly tough on Son but if he wants to go the wing back route again, he would be the one to make way.

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

            So they played 4-1-4-1 today??

              Dembele and dier holding

      I love it, a lot of people have atleast one Chelsea defender. It helps your OR 🙂

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

    I have Walker, Son and Alli. One needs to go and I'll need to save 1m for Lukaku to Kane.

    Walker and Lukaku to Gibson and Kane. Thoughts?

    1. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years

      I'd keep luk for next week's fixture.

  27. Godot - Fashanu Zealand

    Liverpool will make the top four.

    7. Chris_H

      7 years, 2 months ago

      Yes. Today will give the team huge confidence.

      Arsenal have to win all three games in hand & have to play Spuds and Utd

      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Amazing. Well done!

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

    What's up this year with all the moaning about every "assist" and bonus points distribution...

    Yeah, I moan sometimes too, but Eriksen's "assist" last gw and Son's this gw were clear cases. Can't Son owners even be happy with 2G 1A instead of blaming Mark? Jesus.

    1. Les Bleus
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      To be fair, my H2H will come down to 1 point. So every single point matters. I'm sure other Son owners are in the same boat.

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

        But it was never an assist if you know the rules. Clearly two deflections.

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

      Literally, every time someone complains, they are wrong and FPL gets it right.

  29. istanbul05
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Best option guys with 2FTs:

    A) Kun to Kane
    B) Kun and Llorente to Kane and Benteke
    C) Kaku and Siggy to Kane and Zaha

    Jaku, Grant,
    Alonso, Valencia, Davies, Evans, Amat,
    Sanchez, Alli, Cout, Siggy, Fletcher,
    Kun, Kaku, Llorente.

    Thanks

    1. Lav
      • 7 Years

      B

    2. Unbowed Unbent N'Golo

      B

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

      Why sell Kun given the kind of form he's in? Don't see his goals stopping anytime soon!

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

        He gets a goal and luckily a bonus here and there.

        Jesus back soon.

        He's basically 13m

      2. Sterling is £11Mill..…
        • 7 Years

          3 out of his last 4 games have been against Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool. You surely don't expect anyone to explode in those kind of matches really? He's got some 30+ points in the previous 4 games (all tricky except for Hull fixture), which isn't bad at all. In fact only Jamie Vardy beats his stats and underlying stats over that period 🙂
