Dugout Discussion – Chelsea vs Man City

The day concludes with the headline act as champions Chelsea take on early pacesetters Manchester City at Stamford Bridge.

The next 90 minutes will be of huge interest for Fantasy managers, with both these teams enjoying improved fixture schedules to follow this encounter.

In attack, Sergio Aguero’s absence with a rib injury throws us a curveball but hands an opportunity for Gabriel Jesus to play his way back into our plans.

Meanwhile in opposition, Alvaro Morata will add the latest chapter to his hugely impressive start to the season. He takes 528,000 new owners into this match, having been the top transfer target ahead of today’s deadline.

There are also key assets on show in midfield, with Eden Hazard auditioning for a role in our squads with this evening’s performance – he makes his first Premier League start.

Elsewhere, David Silva and Raheem Sterling will bid to boost their burgeoning Fantasy stock as the leading scorer and assister among midfielders.

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

    after cooling down, i think i will just do mhki->sane for my city coverage.

    Naughton was on CS n 3 baps until 90th mins. I love this game

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

      2*

    2. World XI
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      It was not to be

    3. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Terrible pick anyway

      1. tajulariff
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        I know but it was 0-0 until 90th if it stays as it was then bonus for my gameeek

        He's been awful since everyone touted him true

  3. SkeletONv01

    To fund front 3 of Kane Morata and Jesus, i need to downgrade Mkhitaryan, best player to get 7.5 max? Fellaini for 2 weeks then swap for Richarlison? Ramsey? Any other?

    1. World XI
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Find funds for Sterling at 7.9

      1. SkeletONv01
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Would need to take a -8 to do Mkhi>Sterling, worth it?

    2. Live Lad
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      I am thinking about the same. I'll probably do: Kaku + Firmino + Mkhi to Jesus + Kane + 7.3 max
      Thinking of Ramsey but he is so unreliable.

    "The Gameweek concludes with the headline act as champions Chelsea take on early pacesetters Manchester City at Stamford Bridge."
    There are games tomorrow no?

  5. Gt1996

    6 years, 8 months ago

    Current team:

    Foster - Elliot
    Kola - Bavies - Jones - Cedric - Lowe
    Eriksen - Mkhi - Ritchie - Gross - Tarroll
    Kaku - Morata - Firmino

    0.4 ITB, 1 FT.

    Finally decided to go for Kane... Firmino + Eriksen > Kane + Richarlison? Got the exact £ to do it.

    Leaves me with a really weak mid though :/ thoughts?

    1. Live Lad
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Keep Eriksen
      Downgrade Mkhi

      1. Gt1996
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Mkhi + Firmino > Fellaini and Kane?

        1. Live Lad
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Good shout but you should play 433 and play fellaini in home games against weaker teams

  6. lordkippe
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    56 with Martina, Kolasinac, Ritchie, Jesus & Morata left. Decent ?

    1. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Average.

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years

  8. Ha.

      I would punt on Niase

    4. Rainer

    5. Fred54
      • 9 Years

    6. A Team Of James McCleans
      • 8 Years

      Kane

  10. The Non Flying Dutchman

      No.

      1. The Non Flying Dutchman
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        who replaces him?

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

          Dummet or Lejeune I think but dont hold me on that.

          1. Mark-O
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 8 months ago

            Lejeune is a CB not a LB

    2. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Yes. Tomorrow he wont get much though.

      1. The Non Flying Dutchman
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        thinking about Wildcard team

    3. Harry Ball Bag™⚽⚽…
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      No

      1. The Non Flying Dutchman
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        who replaces him

  11. Bubz
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Painful viewing having nobody in this game

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

      Me too.

    2. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Very relaxed about it behind the sofa.

    3. Deano
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      What happened to Kun? Has he been dropped?

      1. Bubz
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Have you been living under a rock Deano?

        1. Deano
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          No, just spent the week in Hounslow!

          1. Tired and weary
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            6 years, 8 months ago

            Same thing

          2. Bubz
            • 10 Years
            6 years, 8 months ago

            He was in a car crash and broke a rib

      2. Goat
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Just not good enough

  12. H-SF
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Come on Alonso, Morata and Silva

    1. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Come on. Blank!

      1. Mick J
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Is 1–1 with non-assisted goals from Delph and Bakayoko and lots of yellow and red cards really too much to ask?

  13. Bubz
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Very likely doing Micky ---> Sterling

    1. Ryan Naysmith
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      i'm already 3 city but would do the same.... thinking erik miki vardy > hazard doucoure morata

    2. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Silbva for me. Looks back to his consistent form of a few years ago.

      1. Bubz
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Prefer Sterling's explosiveness. So many shots on goal. All rather shit shots mind you

    3. Jafooli
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Not Silva?

      1. Bubz
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Nah, he will be rotated soon enough, his ankles cant handle it

        1. Deano
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Sane is your man!

  14. Bouncebackability
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Richarlison 7 shots today.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Got him in draft, doubt I ever will in FPL.

      1. Pierce34
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Why not?

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 15 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Plays for Watford.

          1. Pierce34
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 8 months ago

            They're not a bad team, decent mid-table side.

    2. 3 A
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Looks good. How many on target mate?

      1. lugs
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        7 shots 2 on target , lots of good positions with a couple of big chances created , including on absolute sitter for Carillo , at least the Sky game and everywhere else had the good sense to give him the man of the match award

    3. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      He looks good. Had him in. Sold him. 6pts. Scored 34in his other games. 🙁

    4. FrankieTheGent
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      No baps though!

  15. Mick J
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Would you wildcard this:

    de Gea* / Elliot
    Kolasinac* / Bellerin* / Dawson* / Mee / Mason*
    Eriksen* / Salah / Tadic** / Brady* / Carroll
    Kane / Lukaku* / Calvert-Lewin*
    ?

    You would, wouldn’t you?

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Not if I had 2FT

      1. Mick J
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        I haven’t. But you reckon I could get away with two–three transfers? My team value is pretty low as well (£100.7).

  16. makaveli123
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Sterling looks sharp

  17. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Silva as far forward as Jesus

    1. MANGE TOUT RODNEY
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Excellent

  18. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Mkhitarayan+Chicharito->Sterling+Vardy? 2FT's

    1. Ha.
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Yeh

  19. R.C
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Martin Atkinson worst referee for the game

  20. Gandalf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Current team is:
    De Gea-Elliott
    Hegazi-Bertrand-Mee-Stephens-Mbemba
    Eriksen-Ramsey-Silva-Gross-Carroll
    Kane-Morata-Firmino.

    Wildcard to this look G2G?
    Forster - Elliott
    Azpi - Davies - Ward - Jones - Mbemba
    Salah/Coutinho - Richarlison - Silva - Gross - Fellaini
    Kane - Morata - Firmino/Vardy

  21. Art Vandelay
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Any BAP-geeks able to shed some light on what Richardson only got BPS of 30, when he got 27 from his goal and assist?

      1. Art Vandelay
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Cheers - still a bit confused but I presume it was his shots of target?

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 15 Years

          Retention

          1. Art Vandelay
            • 13 Years
            6 years, 8 months ago

            Cheers, as always, TM

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Didn't watch the game, but it's usually because they were shite in other areas. Losing possession. Off target shots etc.

      1. Art Vandelay
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Cheers.

        Seems ridiculous that a defender with one assist gets more but presumably lots of good defensive contributions from Krys...

  22. Sandy Ravage
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    I bet Silva could also walk on water

  23. Fred54
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Think I might cut my losses with Vardy and raise funds for Morata and thus retain Lukaku.

    1. Bubz
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      I'm confused as to why anyone would sell Lukaku before Liverpool tbh. He will definitely score

      1. Ryan Naysmith
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        on series 4, happy that bubz is finally clean

        1. Epic Fail
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          Spoiler?

          1. Ryan Naysmith
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 8 months ago

            nah not really a big part of the story

            1. Epic Fail
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              6 years, 8 months ago

              I've only just finished series 1 and now I know that he won't get killed in any of the next 3. 🙁

              Only messing. I don't actually give a shit. 😀

              1. Ryan Naysmith
                • 8 Years
                6 years, 8 months ago

                hahaha, series 2 is incred, get started

                1. Epic Fail
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 13 Years
                  6 years, 8 months ago

                  Will do. Took me so long to finally watch it but I'm loving it so far.

      2. Pierce34
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        I agree, though I'm still getting Jesus for Lukaku probably. City fixtures too good.

        1. Bubz
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          I'm going to get him for Firmino 😉

      3. Sandy Ravage
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        probably non Kane owners

      4. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Agree but Morata's fixtures...

    2. Ryan Naysmith
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      yeah pal i've just been trying to do this myself, might change mikhi to a 6m

  24. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Best move next week...
    A. Firm to Jesus.
    B. Mkhi to Sterling.
    C. Both -4

  25. Jafooli
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Micky & Mooy > Silva & Fellaini?

    Then Eriksen > Salah/Coutinho the following week?

  26. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Wow courtois

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      What?

  27. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Is Foster a dud pick now?

  28. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Jesus close

  29. Jafooli
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    With Pogbo out, is Fellaini due some starts? Kinda decent option at 4.9m in free scoring Utd side

  30. Monkey Hanger
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Wow. Both Pedro and Willian on the bench. That was unexpected.
