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.

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

        Don't need to concentrate ppl into Aguero, Ibra and Kane

    These Chelsea muppets have been trolling me all season. Just wrap up the league and get on your holidays already.

      +1. Fooking Diego Costa. Hope China takes him away.

    If one of King or Alonso get 6+ here I'll take it.

      My biggest fpl trolls this year: Kane + Hazard
      My most reliable fpl player: Lukaku

      Who would have thought that at the beginning of the season! 😀

      Hazard or Sanchez that is the question

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

        Sánchez is the answer. No bias, facts only.

      2. pundit of punts
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Both 😎

    5. fedolefan
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      May be time for that Sanchez to Hazard transfer.

      1. Individual

        Haha is it November again ??

      2. JÆKS ⭐
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Def keeping Sanchez another week, with Chelsea vs Manu ahead

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

          Yeah, I'll probably do the same.

      3. Fred54
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Hazard being at Old Trafford is very off putting.

    6. makaveli123

      Funny how Costa is no. 1 in the "Can't Hit A Barn Door" table.

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

      Costa shot was hitting the corner flag.

      Owners lucky to get an assist.

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

        It was actually an intercepted pass to Alonso who would've whipped the ball back in for Costa to tap in... I'd see we're unlucky not to get a Costa goal, Alonso assist tbh

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

      Costa shooting is much to be desired

    9. LewanGOALski
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Aguero owners,
      are you getting Kane in for him for the next GW?

      Yes?
      No?

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

        Done already

      2. JÆKS ⭐
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Think I'm going to give Aguero another week

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

        Yes, tonight.

      4. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years

        No. Selling Costa

      5. drughi
        • 14 Years

      6. La Vida Latte
        • 14 Years

      7. Live Lad
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Definite no

      8. Arn De Gothia
        • 13 Years

        No

      Why didn't de roon play today?

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

      Think I've owned Hazard for 10 games and got 1 goal and 1 assist out of him lol

      Bendtner scored an own goal.

      Think I'm going to WC... Gonna go for a front 7 of Aguero, Costa, Kane, Alli, Eriksen, Coutinho, Hazard... Looks deadly and hopefully will stop my constant red arrows... That said, haven't considered DWGs fully...

      1. EL_FENOMENO

        Costa? No thank you

            • 7 Years

            He's having been awful might have something to do with it.

            • 7 Years

            Ibra/Lukaku far better picks IMO

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

              Forgot about Lukaku - that leaves me more money for defence as well. Thanks 😛

      2. Mark-O

        3 Spurs attack?!

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years

          why not?

        2. Business Cat
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years

          That's the dream ticket at the moment...scoring for fun

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

      Had that rebound not been deflected by Courtois's leg, King would have had a tap in.

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

      Gayle is made out of paper. Definitely not an option next year

    17. @ocprodigy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      I own Costa and Hazard 😎

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

        Costa didn't score though. It's counted as Adam Smith own goal.

      A repost from other thread...

      Mignolet (Grant)
      Baines McAuley Rojo BDavies (Chambers)
      Alli Firminho Redmond Siggy (Fraser)
      Lukaku Aguero (Llorente)

      No spare cash. 2FT. Considering one of the following. Though loathe to ditch Lukaku before Burnley at home...

      a) Mignolet Aguero -> DdG Kane/Ibra
      b) McAuley Aguero -> Valencia Kane/Ibra
      c) Fraser Aguero -> Zaha Kane/Ibra
      d) Lukaku -> Kane with downgrade of Siggy (Zaha maybe)
      e) Get rid of Siggy and Llorente
      f) Wait to see what happens the rest of the weekend...

    19. Who Ate All Depays?

      Should I WC this team....need to get rid of few frustrating players?

      Grant
      Walker / Alonso / Valencia
      Sanchez / Alli / Lanzini / Coutinho
      Aguero / Lukaku / Origi
      (Pickford / Brunt / Fletcher / Amat)

      1. Differentiator

        no

        Don't see the need for a wc, nothing 2-3 transfers can't fix.

    22. Fred54
      • 9 Years

      So the Arsenal DGW news was supposed to have dropped yesterday, more likely to break on Monday now?

    23. itwaswritten
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Chelsea is 1st because they have only 1 English player in their starting team.

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

        Did you go to idiot school or are you a natural?

          The anger... LMAO!

            Just read an article about internet slang. "Lmao" is the most used word by kids between 14-16.

          Calm down WR... This guy is always around giving reasoned in depth opinions throughout the week, as well as flaunting his intelligence on weekends 😉

      2. Vedas

        Why weren't they first last season then?

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

          They have a better coach now.

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

            ...so surely that means they're first because they have a better coach this year...given the team is basically the same as last year.

      3. Differentiator
        • 8 Years

        Costa?

      4. Rainer

      6. Dreams
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        By your logic, spurs should have only 2 which is not the case.

    24. fedolefan
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Think I'm just going to ignore the GW34 DGW and get the big hitters in. Can't get big hitters and useless fodder like Zaha and Boro defenders without major hits.

      1. Fred54
