Dugout Discussion – Saturday

With the goals continuing to flow, we move to Saturday’s five afternoon kick-offs in search of further points.

There are several likely sources.

Chelsea’s Stamford Bridge meeting with Burnley will have been earmarked for strong returns, with Willian heading into the encounter backed by 17.7% of FPL managers. Meanwhile, with the Blues backline heavily owned, a lesser spotted clean sheet will be the order of the day for many.

Another Chelsea player – Ruben Loftus-Cheek – will be under the microscope as he turns out for Crystal Palace against Huddersfield Town at Selhurst Park. The Eagles teamsheet deploys the loanee as part of a front three for Frank De Boer’s side, as Timothy Fosu-Mensa makes a debut which shifts Luka Milivojević into midfield. Loftus-Cheek already has a 12.3% ownership which will boom should he feature among the points this afternoon.

Jay Rodriguez starts as West Brom’s loan striker against Bournemouth at The Hawthorns, while for the Cherries, Jermain Defoe only makes the bench after a recent injury and a curtailed pre-season.

At St Mary’s Southampton host Swansea City, with defenders Ryan Bertand and Cedric Soares owned by 15.6% and 13.2% respectively. Manolo Gabbiadini starts up front as expected; he is part of 6.7% of squads

Finally, at Goodison Park, Everton host Stoke City with Wayne Rooney leading their attack. He’s backed by a handsome and optimistic 15.5% ownership, in a Toffees line-up which appears to have Dominic Calvert-Lewin at right wing-back.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    how did morata looked? I know he got a goal and assist, but i didn't watch the game

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 9 Years

      very good

    2. Lateriser 12

      Amazing.

    3. DR0GBA
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Pretty decent tbf considering how sh** the rest of our team was.

      Too risky to bring him in atm maybe...

      1. Manani
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        why is that?
        surely he has earned his place?? or you think it is just problems with chelsea as a whole may affect their performance?

        1. DR0GBA
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Yeah I think he has earned his place now, but yes our whole situation right now is very dodgy and next week against Spurs is going to probably be even worse. We lost 2 important players, but if you feel like Morata could get some goals (and he really might) then go for it!

    4. markmcr

      Came on at 60 mins. Did really well I'm hearing

    5. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      He looked excellent. And I did not rate him at all before today

    6. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      Honestly brought Chelsea back in contention. I know it's only better, but he took his chances much better than Bats. As we knew, his link-up play is good.

      Add to the fact that we were on 10, then 9 men... it could be promising. Still, wouldn't pick him now. Not a guaranteed starter and as we just saw, Chelsea are gash right now.

    7. hannibalos
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      When not off-side he can be a big presence up there.

      Need to improve his movement and clever play but his aerial ability and goalscoring ability is there for everyone to see

    8. ☆Khaz
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      He was sharp and dangerous. The goal was nice, he's a fighter.

    Those with aguero/Jesus captain, what would be a satisfactory score?

    1. Our Tiny Windows
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      6-0

    2. Silva’s Left Nut
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Goal+ assist

  18. DAZZ
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    None aguero jesus owners hiding? Got KDB but still nervous about what the two up top can do! Hoping Vinny Komp can come up wih the goods todau

    1. Our Tiny Windows
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Aguero captain over here.

      1. DAZZ
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Wont lie i had aguero untill about 3 hours before the deadline.

  19. Rossamous
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Chill out everyone. Jesus and Aguero could be sharing the points. Until we know who the top of these two are, be happy with Kane and Lukaku as surefire bets until we get more information, and have KDB as 'cover'

      Wait till he plays as a starter. Was bad @ RM as a starter.

        6 years, 8 months ago

        ^ This. Not saying he can't do well. But when asked to do it for a full 90? He ghosts. Always does well as an impact sub though.

    Had Hegazi in most of my drafts.

    Took him out this week for Stones to avoid doubling on West Brom (Foster in goal).

    I had a really good feeling about Hegazi. Gutted now.

    1. Nascimento

      I've tot him with triple WBA at the back

    Must admit I've had a great start

    Kolasinac

    Forster
    Yoshida
    Stephens
    Salah
