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.

    How is ederson on 2 baps from making 2 saves? Genuine question

    1. F4L
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      good distribution, winning back the ball I assume

    2. Brap.
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Distribution

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

      He be sweeping

    4. Tiote on Peyote
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Recoveries and pass completion probably.

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

      His passing stats must be through the roof.

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

      Played v well to be fair, lots of sweeping up

    7. SC not pearls before swine
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Otamendi having a yellow card helps too.

    8. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      After Morata left, you could have put anyone in Goal and they would have done fine

  2. We Will Klopp you
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    1 FT, Easy save right?

    Fabianski
    Clark Davies Naughton
    Salah Silva Mkhi Brady
    Kane Lukaku Vardy

    Elliott Jones Chalobah Rosenoir

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      I would get in Jesus for the next 4 games.. (if Aguero not deemed fit) or Morata (not sure what happened to him?)

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Can't lose Lukaku in this type of form and that's the only way to get them

  3. El Matador
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    So the question is, Sane or Sterling to double up with Silva.

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

      Was planning on Sane ... but now might have to do Morata > Jesus

  4. Lone Wolf
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    RP. How is that lookin

    Fabianski, Elliot
    Monreal, Davies, Naughton, Lowe, Mbemba
    Mane, Sterling, Ramsey, Choupo, Carroll
    Kane, Jesus, Lacazette

  5. FC Hakkebøf
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    What happened to Morata? Did it look bad? Was cooking :/. Planned on getting him in over the IB..

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

      Just a tight hammy

    2. We Will Klopp you
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Hammy from what I'm hearing, wait for news

  7. Egyptian Giza
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    is Otamendi due 1 bonus point or is that too much?

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

      Yellow card.. doesn't help

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

      YC might cost him. 1 behind atm.

    3. Crouching Tiger
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Was on 2 before YC, no baps now.

    4. Tiote on Peyote
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Too much I'm afraid, yellow did him in.

  8. laplana

    If you had a bad GW you are a casual. 😆

    1. Lone Wolf
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      love yourselfe mate 😉

    2. Gooner Kebab
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Lol

    3. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      People using that word "casuals" should be banned

  9. Coaly
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Bin Ramsey or Richarlison, regardless of what Ramsey does tomorrow?

    1. F4L
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Richarlison looking at their next 2

      1. SC not pearls before swine
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Home to Arsenal isn't the worst fixture TBH. I'd hold Richarlison if you can stash him on the bench for the Chelsea fixture.

    2. mcrayeps

    3. MikeDuff

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

    Would you WC this bunch?

    Elliot Foster
    Davies Cedric Daniels Suttner Long
    Salah Mkhi Ritchie Carroll Carrick
    Kane Lacazette Lukaku

    1 FT, 1.3 in bank.

    1. ★Kuntheman★
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Lacazette-Jesus, upgrade Suttner to Maguire..and you should be good

    2. Lone Wolf
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      what moves are you thinkin?

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

        City and Chelsea mainly.

        1. Lone Wolf
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Lukaku > Jesus
          Cedric/Daniels > Azpi

          ...and G2G

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

            Hmmm, cheers.

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

      Would you be happy taking a minus 4? I'm in same boat, undecided.

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

        -4 or -8 would be ok.

    4. Kun Tozser
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Who do you think you're missing?

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

        Chelsea and City.

    5. Gooner Kebab
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      No, i like 7 in your team.

    6. St. Joseph
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Nope, for what?

    7. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Nah. A hit would be sufficient, unless you care about TV.

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

      See how tomorrow goes, no big prices changing tonight so no rush.

    9. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      I wouldn't tm.

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

      Nah.

      Get a Chelsea defender. Maybe Mkhi to Silva/Sterling.

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

      Cheers all. Long international break if no WC 😆

    12. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      No. Would take a -4 to get rid of Foster and Mkhi when the time is right.

    13. Fanta sea
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      No you're good. No need for WC. I'd just switch Carrick to fellaini.

      I'd then look to switch Carroll out for doucoure.

      If you wanted to down the line, I'd switch Cedric for a defender like Jones or Monreal. I don't like Cedric's return.

    14. Man Getting Hit By Football
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Mkhi -> Silva/Sterling/Sane
      Daniels/Cedric -> Azpi/Luiz/Cahill?

      No need to wildcard I don't think, team looks good.

    15. DON BE ZILLY
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Jesus & Morata in - captaining either one pays for the hit.

    16. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      No... Kaku to Jesus

      1. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Actually see Berb...

    17. Unimaginative
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      How about kaku to Jesus and the upgrade Cedric and Daniels to walker and Luis???

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

    Champions performance. They can defend now too it seems.

  13. ★Kuntheman★
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Now those f***in English reporters will start drumming up the "invincibles" and "quadruple" bs

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

      Pretty much

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

      Comes with the territory

    3. fedolefan
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      You deserve that pressure with all the money spent. Can't spend 300m and have the expectations of a "4th place trophy".

  14. Fanta sea
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Anyone know why Andy King only played 45 mins?

    Was it a tactical switch?

  15. GREEN IS GOOD
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    The geezer who's 3rd in the world has Bailly (C) and de Gea (V).

    Is a Man City fan.

    And his team is ****.

    I don't get it.

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

      You realise it's GW7 out of 38?

    2. Yav
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      They tend to play their chips early which in turn boosts their ranking. Most will fade away.

    3. Tiote on Peyote
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Early days, that guy won't be anywhere near the top at the end. Don't underestimate the amount of luck involved in the game, especially early on.

    4. TallestJohn
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      I started a spreadsheet today to document who's at 1st overall at the end of each GW, they've played quite a few chips so far.

      GW1: BB
      GW3: TC
      GW4: BB
      GW5: BB
      GW6: TC, WC, FH

      1st after GW6 still had Aguero and Pogba in her squad for this week.

      any one??

    2. Infamy, Infamy

      No City at all. Might want to address that.

  19. Moves like Dejagah
    • 7 Years

    KDB to Sanchez so obviously KDB posts a double figure haul.

  20. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…

    58 points with Ritchie Kolasinac Salah Elliott left...

          Ignore me

      2. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
        • 7 Years

        26 to 12

    2. Rik Waller

  21. Over Midwicket
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Any news about Morata? Should be fine after 2 weeks?

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

      I dont think it will be a long injury. Probably wont play next game though

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

    Anyone remember that Josh King guy?

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Anything to Martin Luther.

    2. Cocky Spaniel Alves
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      What about him?

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

        Had a monumental purple patch last season

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

      Scored last week didn't he

  23. ahak9
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    If Morata does get injured badly, who would you reckon Conte replace him with? Bats,Willian or Pedro?

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

      Should do with Bats because Hazard looks lost when there isn't a focal point

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

    Mendy to 5.2?

    1)Migu
    2)Cress
    3)Other

  25. Hazz

    Think Conte got his tactics and formation wrong today. Poor display regardless.

  27. Teror
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    69 points (including projected bonus) with three still left to play. Takes me up to 98K apparently. I think I feel a nosebleed coming on.

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      What was your rank.

            • 9 Years
            6 years, 8 months ago

            Thanks pal. But I'm not going to take it for granted: I need to keep putting the graft in week in, week out and doing the business on the pitch.
