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.

    Wildcard activated, how does this look? Couple things i'm unsure of? Any thoughts appreciated...thanks.

    Elliot (Krul)
    Maguire, Bavies,Yoshida/Cedric (Ward, Mbemba)
    Salah, Sterling, Eriksen, Ritchie/Atsu (RLC)
    Kane, Jesus, Rashford/Vardy

    A - Ritchie & Rashford
    or
    B - Atsu & Vardy
    AND
    1 - Yoshida
    or
    2 - Cedric

    1. MikeDuff
      • 7 Years

      B2

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

      Goal aside I still like Cedric over Yoshida. With VvD back, the Southampton CBs are too risky.

      I'd have a slight preference for Atsu/Vardy, but could go either way.

    Ben Davies the real MVP of the gameweek

      Not really with 3 games to go.

      Kane Kaku combo strikes again

  6. Cok3y5murf
    • 7 Years

    Gonna have to eat Bertrand's and Alli's price drops. Feels bad man 🙁

    Hope they don't drop twice over the break

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

      Alli has looked shocking of late

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

        As bad as he has looked he averages 5 ppg which is quite shocking

      2. Cok3y5murf
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        He's so frustrating to watch. One of the players I get only for FPL points but hate in real life

    2. Tiote on Peyote

      They wont.

  7. Dynamic Duos

    68 with Laca , solid week really , but my mids let me down.

  8. F4L

    6 years, 8 months ago

    Everyone ready for the Mane show tomorrow ? 😀

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

      Couts will steal the show.

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

        cant see it. Will probably be dragged off around the 65-70 minute mark, Mane was subbed early midweek and will be eager to make up for his RC against City

    2. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Salah show*

        how about both 🙂

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

    Anyone watch the Watford game?

    Aside from the goal how did Richarlison do?

    1. My Name Is Pepu
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Got an assist

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

      He was a bit sloppy, (Some poor crosses/shots/decisions in crucial moments) but was constantly getting into dangerous areas and coming close to making something happen. Should of had another assist, put one on a plate for Carillo.

      1. Tiote on Peyote
        • 12 Years

        Thanks man.

    If u don't have either, would u choose to buy
    1. Silva or sterling
    2. Stones or Otamendi
    3. Would you keep Morata or replace?

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

      Silva
      Otamendi
      replace but would wait for some news

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

      1.silva
      2. otamendi
      3. wait on news ofc. Need to see how long Kun and Morata are out for

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

    What do you think about that team...

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

  14. EL_FENOMENO
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    a) Jesus + Hazard
    b) Eriksen + Kaku

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

      B

    2. My Name Is Pepu
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      A

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

      Jesus + Eriksen
      B out of those

  15. My Name Is Pepu
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Best game of the season, that. Kevin De Bruyne special. Pep Guardiola Masterclass.

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

      City played very well. But don't know why Conte subbed on Willian for Morata. Should have brought on Batshuayi.

      1. My Name Is Pepu
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Because they were only playing on the counter - Willian has more pace, offers better movement. Anyway, Batshuayi couldn't do much after he came on.

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

      LOL!

      1. My Name Is Pepu

    3. magnolia21
      • 6 Years

      chelsea fan here and City exposed us. Masterclass. KDB is a complete midfielder. Pep is a genius. City is 10x better compared to last season.

      1. My Name Is Pepu
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        I have a lot of respect for Conte too. The match was a great tactical battle overall but we can only have one winner in the end.

    Which way to get a saints defender?
    A) jones to cedric
    B) elliot to forster

    Man utd have difficult run of fixtures don't know whether to keep jones

      Saints is good for a little more then terrible

  17. ViperStripes
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Well Kane as usual has been a disaster for me. Missed his big runs last season and again this time I had him in from teh start and itched for Aguero last week, Aguero injured, so brought in Morata, hamstring! Aargh.

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

      I don't think losing kane was a good call at all and hats not hindsight been saying that for a couple of weeks

      1. ViperStripes
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        It was a coin toss between Lukaku and Kane and there were more pro's to losing Kane than Lukaku.

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

      I've brought him 3 times this season. At the 5th time of playing him he scores for me. Fecker this trolls me though by not being my captain lol.

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

      Gotta have Kane man. He's on his way to breaking the 'goals in a calendar year' record. You want a piece of that. He's also a captaincy option every week. There's never a legit reason to get rid.

      1. AzzaroMax99
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Well his problems are at home. He has yet to score at Wembley.

  18. magnolia21

    masterclass performance from City

    best team in the league

    1. F4L
      • 9 Years

      best team and more importantly, best squad.

      1. My Name Is Pepu
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Most importantly, the best manager.

    3. the Penman

      If they forfeit then at least they only lose 3-0.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          - mind you, his team have just scored one against the head.

        • 11 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        I don't agree with this but I can't believe people think he's a great manager. Hes spent the GDP of tonga

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

          You like him?

          As for the managerial side. I do think hes a great manager, however his tactics are so high level that he needs the absolute best players to be able to carry them out without it looking ridiculous

          1. Robe Wan
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            6 years, 8 months ago

            I don't know him.

            Hes always had unreal played to work with

            I wonder how he'd get on managing stoke

            1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years

              Revolver and a bottle of whisky job.

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

              I don't think expecting him to manage stoke is fair. Most of the others will struggle too. Having said that, he shipped out so many players from Man City and revamped the entire squad. Whatever happened to improving the team, by improving the players. This was a replacement job.

      Lukaku a season keeper barring injury? That's how I'm feeling atm, the guy is invisible for most of the match and almost gets a brace, can't go without imo

      1. HashAttack

        almost a brace ... but no braces apart since week 1

      • 7 Years

      Might keep this core: Silva, Salah, Mkhi for the long haul, seems like it will return consistenly

      1. Hy liverpool
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Mkhi isn't that good imo.

        1. We Will Klopp you
          • 7 Years

          Supplying Kaku and corners should lead to returns
