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.

    having silva and erik is great as they always look capable, but this 70 minute hook all the time is worrying. you need your attacking players about late in games when mistakes get made

    1. Tim Canterbury

      Alli is certainly profiting late on...

      I have both and I agree. But I think both are the best options at this point. Looking to do Eriksen to Mane once liverpools fixtures get better.

      Erik is top scoring milf in game I think...

      Silva only withdrawn early x 2

      Eriksen looked to have been off firm...illness mid week might have been factor. Keep for Bournemouth

    1. circusmonkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Sterling

    2. Emmicson
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Silva if you Must, I will rather keep

  8. SkeletONv01
    • 6 Years

    How did Sterling look today? Would you do Miki > Sterling?

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

      Quite possibly..

      Prefer d silva tho

  9. Messsiaah
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    coutinho or richarliason?

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

      Richarlison

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

        fantastic question

    2. Delph & Safety
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Coutinho but Richarlison a good cheaper option

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

      Look at Richarlisons next 2 fixtures, and for what team he plays ^^ Maybe after those 2 fixtures, certainly not now tho.

    4. circusmonkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      I love it when my auction league players are mentioned on here, go Dot Richarlison.

    5. Speédy
      • 7 Years

    How serious did Morata's injury look today?

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Looked more than just tightness, a few weeks maybe?

    No baps for Richarlison is a fek-ing joke.

        8 points more than I expected but still annoys me

      I'm so disappointed with that, how did he manage it without getting booked?

      There's more to a game than just goals and assists

      Similar situation to Salah, he spurns a lot of chances and suffers BPS-wise. I'm happy enough knowing that he's getting those chances though. Looks like the real mid to low price mid to have.

    Is triple captaining Kane this week considered a successful triple captain?

      Not in isolation but there will be jokers on here who somehow TC Andy Carroll in a DGW so you've done better than them.

      In isolation no, but given my track record of the TC chip on Carroll and Aguero, I shouldn't say much!

      OMG how freaky was that Team C!

      "isolation" and mentioning Carroll and DGW failures.

        That's mental.

        At least we pinpointed one of the jokers 😆

    Conte says bringing on Willian for Morata was a simple tactical decision. #CHEMCI

    Fellaini nailed on with Pogba out or is Herrera going to come in for games like v Liverpool to hold possession?

    Had to turn the TV off when I heard the commentator said Fellaini is looking for his hattrick.
