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.

    Not keen on my Midfield in the longterm, but on the other hand its been serving me well. Would you WC this team or can i get away with just using my 2FT and maybe take one hit.

    Forster
    Maguire Mee Alderweireld Bertrand
    Richarlison Eriksen Gross

      2 FT is a big factor.

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…

      Morata to Jesus for a start.

      No need to WC.

  2. Beautiful Game

    I have exact money to do Morata to Jesus.. Shall I go through?

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Same position, holding on Morata news. He could be fine to play stoke after the break

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

      Both have good fixtures, but I'd rather wait until Morata's situation gets clearer.

      Ooooooooooo the Hokey Cokey

  3. Lord of Ings

    59 with salah and groß left...good score?

    1. Honeyman07 42
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      I think so, between 50-70 is good arm anything more is very good

    2. Tim Canterbury
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Not TOO bad. Not earth shattering either

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

      67 with salah firmino and mee to play 🙂

      1. Honeyman07 42
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        And a Kane (C) with Bavies appears? 😀

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

          Good guess

    4. Stockport Hatter
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      54 with 5 bonus you come plus Monreal Salah and Mee

  4. HALFSPACE
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Fingers crossed Morata's not injured seriously, ruins my best laid plans ffs

    1. Tim Canterbury
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      I'd be surprised if it was 1 game it was a hamstring

  5. DV8R
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    To WC or not to WC?

    DDG
    Davies, Kola, Mee
    Alli, Richarlison, Ritchie, Shaqiri
    Lukaku, Kane, Firmino

    Elliot, Carroll, Lowe, TAA

    0.8m itb

    1. Honeyman07 42
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      How many would you change?

      1. DV8R
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Firmino and Alli mainly. Probably downgrade DDG and invest in midfield but not sure if that justifies a WC with the team I have.

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

          Sounds like you can get away with a hit (or two over 2 weeks)

          Assuming you're looking for city assets selling Alli would get you silva/sane/sterling without a hit

    2. Pep bites Kun
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Same structure - Strong DF & SR with weak/semi-weak MF?
      Structure suits but not firing on all the cylinders as yet. Don't WC - see what happens after IB imo.

  6. Giorgi89
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Two questions for FPL historic players 😉

    1. What is Ben (Crab) doing this year? Disapointing start...
    2. Is Ville Ronka the best of all time (regularity speaking) still active?

    Cheers

    1. Giorgi89
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      In addition, is there a way to see rank evolution of past winners over a season?

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

      Ville Ronda is a goat....

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

    Is there any chance that Trippier will keep his spot in the starting lineup? I still think that he's better than Aurier...

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

      It's not your opinion that matters in this case, tI agree with you though

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

        Is there any chance that Trippier will keep his spot in the starting lineup?

  8. FPL Maldini
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Looking ahead....

    Firmino, Lukaku and Alli --> Jesus, Lacazette and Coutinho (-4)

    Yay or nay?

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

      Why these questions with 14 days to wait

  9. ronty
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Makkhi to Silva for me after the break

    60 with 4 to go.. happy with this GW

    1. Honeyman07 42
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      What's your team?

        linked in my profile

  10. Akeem
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Which transfer would you make?:
    A) Jones ---> Bavies
    B) Mkhi ---> D.Silva
    C) Both (-4)

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

      A

  11. Honeyman07 42
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    If we don't wildcard now when would be an ideal time to WC, ie a different set of fixtures changes? It needs to be used before Xmas so surely now is an ok time to use it?

    1. Les Bleus
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      It's when your team needs it most. No right answer here.

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

      I'd be interested to know as well. My team is in good shape, not sure I want to WC.

      3rd international break maybe? I haven't looked that closely, is there a big enough change in fixtures?

    3. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      This!

    4. johnnys balloons
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      On gw 12. 3th international break is at that time and after that starts madness in premier league. 11 GWs in 44 days.

  12. pundit of punts
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Elliot - 3.9
    Alonso - Kolasinac - Bavies - Jones - hunemeier
    Alli - Salah - Carroll - RLC - King
    Kane - Lukaku - Vardy

    1 FT and 0.1m itb.

    Any ideas?

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

      Who went to 3.9? That's so annoying

      Your team is fine tbh

      1. pundit of punts
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        No one.

        Got the 3.9m gk on WC last gw.

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

          Ah. Clever 😉

          1. Bald Eagle
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 8 months ago

            Man U 3.9M keeper, takes that 3rd Man U slot, which can also be very annoying. 🙂

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

      Hune to Mbemba so you can sometimes play 5 at the back because that midfield is awful

      1. pundit of punts
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        I play 3 in the mf.

        Carroll and RLC rotation is alright for that price I guess.

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

          Fair enough. Got to balance the budget somehow!

        2. laplana
          • 6 Years

          No it isn't 😆

      Cheers all.

    8. Hotdogs

      Would sell Alli (I'm doing that too)

  13. Ryan Naysmith

    6 years, 8 months ago

    70 post baps with Monreal to play. 79 last week. Enjoying my dullard back 4 of Jones, Ottamendi, Monreal, Davies (exception). It's the cheapest and best way ive found to get results from the big teams backlines.

  14. Shultan
    • 8 Years

    Which team will be the qst to concede a goal to crystal palace this season?
    I reckon they'll score versus west ham in GW10

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

      *1st

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

      The first goal that CPL scores will actually be an OG, would actually be hilarious 🙂

  15. the snazzy viking
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Will Morata be fit for GW8?

    1. Les Bleus
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      How can anyone possibly know lad?

      1. the snazzy viking
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Honest question, no need to hate lol

        1. Les Bleus
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Can't help it 😛

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

          He's not hating. You're looking for a definitive answer concerning something that's impossible to know.

          1. the snazzy viking
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 8 months ago

            Just wanted to know if there was any news that I hadn't heard of, that's all

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

      "Yes" - non qualified doctor that is on the internet

    3. Fred54

      Yes, no, maybe.

    4. Rash

      Isn't Liverpool at Anfield the perfect fixture for Jose to showcase his bus parking?

  18. Scotty B

    46 with Bellerin, Ritchie, Salah & Rooney to go....terrible gameweek! 🙁

    1. Les Bleus

    2. ahak9
      • 7 Years

      Not really.. average is 39 if I'm not mistaken

  19. La Galatica
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    I took a -12 this week. I am sitting on 70pts with Ritchie still. My bench!!!!! Lord 23pts. Rank was 334k with a prediction of 152k but it will rise up again after the other remaining games are done. Feeling a bit perplexed because of the bench score. Can I consider this week as a good game week?

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

      Who's the bench

      1. La Galatica
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Stones , Doucoure Fernandez, Fabianski

    2. Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Have same 58 no hit with Ritchie Kolasinac and Firmino. Why -12? But well done. Average is around 40

      1. La Galatica
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        I took out brunt 2 Doucoure - Jesus 2 kane - grob 2 Ritchie. ??2 Maguire

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

      Considering you took 3 points hits and got a green arrow it's all good man.

      1. La Galatica
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks. Will see how tomorrow pans out

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

      Is that 70 before the -12? Well done on taking the risk, who did you bring in/out?

  20. Jafooli
    • 12 Years

    How are Watford in 5th?

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

      They have amassed the amount of points that puts them 5th in the league

      1. Jafooli
        • 12 Years

        That the wine talking? 😉

        1. Bubz
          • 10 Years

          Yes tbh

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

          The real reason is because they're the only team with a yellow kit

  21. Whats the Mata?
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Would you WC this lot?
    Lack of Chelsea and City.

    DDG - Elliot
    Suttner Bavies Mee Francis Long
    Salah Eriksen Mkhi Choupo TC
    Lukaku Kane Wood

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

      Hmm I probably would. Suttner, Francis, Long, Wood all definitely need to go and Mhiki could be swapped to free up funds.

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

    Shouts to the wastemen who transferred Jones out

  23. Jolly Good
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    What’s the view on Eriksen? Is he worth keeping at 9.7? Never going to captain him over Kane.

    1. Les Bleus
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      He's quite consistent so I reckon he's worth it.

  24. Bubz

    Bloody hell that bottle of red finished fast

    Delighted with my score 62 with a -8 ,Kolasinac Ramsey & Salah to play...
    Morata over Jesus hurt a bit!

  26. AzzaroMax99

      • 6 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Holy moly just as well you captained Kane! Quite a few to go though, hoping for some returns from Mee and Salah.

      I guess a problem for you is that if Salah/Laca don't score and New/Brighton still concede it's a bit of a ball ache

      1. HALFSPACE

      Has any of them managed an OG yet?

    2. Bubz
      • 10 Years

      If they don't score all season, do they just award it to the best goal they conceded?

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

        😀 or a goal from last season?
