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 ignoring Kane?

    1. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      not a good idea. Came back from a long injury and nearly scored.. that tells you all

    2. Pocky
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I think so, well for next week anyway.

    3. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years

      If Sanchez does well v Palace - yes... Otherwise, no.

    4. Arn De Gothia
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      yes, for now, maybe next GW

    5. Chris_H
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Yes. He's not Aguero/Suarez/Van Persie yet

    6. Danstoke82
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Nope. Bournemouth at home next. Could be golden.

    1FT 0.3m ITB
    Valdes Guzan
    Valencia Bailly Davies Yoshida Brunt
    Sterling Alli Coutinho Zaha Son
    Aguero Ibra Lukaku

    A) Save FT
    B) Guzan -> Hennessey (allows for BB in DGW34)
    C) Any other suggestions?

  2. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…

    Due to my late transfer Coutinho >> Sane 🙁 will now require a -4 for Kane

    A - Walker/Vardy ➡ Mustafi/Kane -4

    B - Son/Vardy >> Zaha/Kane -4

    C - Save

    Pickford
    WALKER Valencia Robertson
    SON Sanchez Alli Sane
    Ibrahimovic VARDY Lukaku

    Caballero TCarroll Stephens Gibson

    Keep Llorente or Siggy? have to take one out

    1. Every Dog Has Its Day
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Which one has been on the bench?

      1. ZeBestee
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        played all at the expense of King on the bench

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

      take out fernando

    3. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Siggy

  4. Reggie Nainggolan
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Current team

    Grant Jaku
    Davies valencia azi (yoshida Amat)
    Siggy Pedro Sanchez alli (fletcher)
    Costa lukaku Llorente

    Possible wilcard team

    Pickford jaku
    Davies valencia azi (yoshida Holgate)
    King Coutinho Sanchez Alli (de roon)
    Kane Ibra gabbiadini
    0.4 ITB

    Or shall I do coutinho ror eriksen and Davies for 4.8 defender?
    Another point is lack of cover for Chelsea and time to replace azi?

    Thoughts and suggestions plz

    hi

  6. Feeling_blue
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    I have 2 FT but happy with my team:

    Pickford - Valdes
    Alonso - Davies - Gibson - Yoshida - Holgate
    Sanchez - Alli - Son - Zaha - De Roon
    Ibra - Lukaku - Origi

    I have 2.4 ITB. Considering:
    A Alonso - Valencia/Bellerin
    B Not worry about wasting a FT and do nothing

    1. Every Dog Has Its Day
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      a

    2. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      A Bellerin

    3. Reggie Nainggolan
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Thoughts on kane?

      1. Feeling_blue
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Have 3 spurs already or I definitely would be bringing him in

    4. Reggie Nainggolan
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      A with valencia. Dgw incoming

    5. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Origi to Benteke IMO - sets you up for DGW and he has a chance of points next week too.

    6. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Only suggestion might be Origi to Benteke for possibly tired Leicester and then DGW

    7. Pep bites Kun
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      B at the present time. I'm amazed that ManU aren't keeping clean sheets and Ars aren't either. Spurs is the best bet at the moment.

      - Keep your FT - wait and see what comes up.

      1. Feeling_blue
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I have 2FT so would would just waste a transfer

  7. CostaCoffee
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Don't like to brag but 1st clean sweep of the year so far.. at least 8 points from all 8 of my players (except Heaton with 7), also 3rd 80+ GW in 4 weeks

    1. CostaCoffee
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      About to go 170 pts clear in mini league also

    2. Je suis le chat
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Well done, how's the overall rank?

      1. CostaCoffee
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        28k at the moment up from 400k in recent weeks 😀

    3. MTPockets
        7 years, 1 month ago

        But you don't like to brag.
        Well done.

      • Pocky
        • 14 Years

        Nice one, that is awesome scoring!

          Well done mate, those are the kind of weeks that give the buzz that the majority of people on here chase every week. You're entitled to brag. Good work

          JAY said it best and I second it - Well done mate, those are the kind of weeks that give the buzz that the majority of people on here chase every week. You're entitled to brag. Good work

          nice - but it would mean more if your team was linked to your profile

        • 7 Years

        Can I get the all clear? Vertonghen and Vardy to Holgate and Kane tonight.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          I would wait until after Holgate plays tomorrow

          1. We Will Klopp you
            • 7 Years

            Need to penny pinch in order to be able to afford an Origi to Gabbi upgrade

      • Rhodes your boat

        37 with 6 to go good?

        1. EmreCan Hustle
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          The 6 to go part is definitely good.

      • JÆKS ⭐
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Who will be your strikes in gw 34?

        I'm thinking Lukaku Kane Negredo, so no Ibra

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Lukaku Ibra Kane

        2. Every Dog Has Its Day
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Lukaku Ibra and maybe Benteke.

          Have no intentions of getting in a Middlesbrough attacker, they suck so I'll stick with either Ayala or Barragán.

          1. JÆKS ⭐
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Good fixtures though, easy to swap him for Gabbi the week after

        3. Deulofail
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Kane Kun Origi

        Sanchez/Origi -> Zaha/Kane? -4

        Heaton / Pickford
        Walker / Alonso / Yoshi / Baines / Amat
        Sanchez / Coutinho / Alli / Siggy / King
        Origi / Lukaku / Costa

        1. Jay_
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Ibra to Kane this week
            Next week: Lukaku & Siggy > Ibra & Zaha -4. Factor in Kane C it should be more than worth it

            1. Jay_
                7 years, 1 month ago

                Didn't see Davies, that's fooked that idea up!

                  • 9 Years
                  7 years, 1 month ago

                  lol, Davies ➡ Yoshida/Bailly could pay off in the long run, even for a hit so its still fine

                  1. Jay_
                      7 years, 1 month ago

                      Yeah I did Davies to Holgate last night. Not too much damage with 6 points, BOU might even score, the form their in

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

                  this seems very sensible actually, cheers Jay; I've been looking at -8s and -12s so I might go for this actually

                Think he might be benched for the CL. Okazaki and Slimani up top I reckon

              • 9 Years
              7 years, 1 month ago

              Ok so it's down to this, which one?

              A) Yoshida
              B) Gibson (already own Chambers who has been shambolic)

                • 8 Years

                Wait to find out when Saints DGW is. If you can't WC to get Southampton players for their DGW, get Yoshida now

                  • 9 Years
                  7 years, 1 month ago

              Who will score more:

              A) B. Davies (BOU) + B. Davies (/pl) -4
              B) *Maguire (stk) + Mawson (STO)

              *If Maguire out, Brunt (LIV) in

              Not one bit happy with my 47 been honest. Bitter rival had son (c) and has done my head in.
              Valencia,Vardy ,lukaku,ibra to go. He has same except Sanchez instead of lukaku.

              For the first time I can remember, I didn't click Save your team last night and ended up with Lukaku as captain instead of Alli, and with bench boost activated when I meant to turn it off.

              Schoolboy error.

                Who's on the bench?

                  • 14 Years
                  7 years, 1 month ago

                  5 points from Jaku and Fletcher. 0 from Love.

                  Also Alonso, but I was getting his points anyway since Walker didn't play.

                I did that too, without the BB. Was convinced I had saved.

                Sane captain instead of Sanchez 🙁

                  Walker got another rest?

                  Is it too late to switch to B.Davies ?

                  105k to 117k

                  The drop continues from 94k a week ago. Have 39 at the moment.

                  This is why that WC will be active soon

                  Don't normally post asking for help but I really don't know what the priority transfers are with this team

                  GW 33 lineup

                  Foster

                  Alonso Fuchs Davies

                  Sanchez sig King Alli

                  Lukaku Defoe Ibra

                  (Heaton, McAuley, Capoue, Chambers)

                  1FT £0.3 ITB & WC available

                  Only way I can fit Kane in is Sanchez out or Alonso out to free up funds.

                  Could WC and get rid of all the drivel but would rather wait until DGW are announced and WC before the biggest one

                  Any help? Dunno if Defoe out is priority or sort out the defence

                  Thanks

                  Can I get the all clear to do Vertonghen and Vardy to Holgate and Kane tonight? Ideally I'd wait until Holgate plays but I need to penny pinch in order to afford an Origi to Gabbi upgrade & Kane's rising tonight.
