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.

  5. Big P

    Ramsey or Choupo-Moting the better long term pick?

    Price obviously a factor.

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

      Choupo moting has great fixtures

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

      Choupo

  6. Collie01
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    6 years, 8 months ago

    Looking at Morata and Mkhi out, but it'll knock 0.5 off my TV. Ouch.

    Holding onto players just to preserve tv is probably one of the most common mistakes on here though.

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

      tv doesnt matter SV does, unless u plan on getting those players back straight away

      morata and mkhi unlikely to raise your sv in the coming week, reduce it if anything

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

      My worry is not TV but getting those players back later, morata is injured so will drop, no qualms there, Mkhi could still do well and will be tough to get back if you do want him back

      1. Collie01
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        Yep good point. It'd be relatively easy to get Morata back, and Pogba should be an alternative option to Mkhi if I want to get a Utd mf back in. (I'm hoping so anyway).

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

          Equally good point about Pogba who I prefer to Mkhi, could work out perfectly if I get in sterling

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

      Hold Morata until there's news, you'll want him for those fixtures if fit.

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

    Do I hit the wc now?

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

      Yes if you want catch the prices.

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

    Own Silva so got some tough decisions to make re Sterling or keep Mkhi

    Reasons for keeping Mkhi
    1) Value makes him tough to get back
    2) Corners
    3) Lukaku to assist should lead to points

    Reasons for Sterling
    1) Could be explosive
    2) Fixtures
    3) Allows me to keep Lukaku instead of getting Jesus while efficiently covering City with Sterling & Silva

    Thankfully Sterling didn't score today so he shouldn't rise, gives me more time to mull over it

  9. FPL Kangaroo

    Where is Waxxy these days lads?
    Havnt seen him on here in while.

    1. makaveli123
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      He couldn't handle all the abuse

    2. Big P
      • 6 Years

      Ssshhhh don't mind jinx it.

    3. KingNidge
      • 8 Years

      With any luck he's been locked up or sectioned

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

      I think a combination of a ban and going back to uni

  10. F4L

    Do people realise there is more to football than just goals and assists ?

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

      Yes but no

    2. FPL Kangaroo
      • 7 Years

      Did you say this yesterday too?
      Sounds very familiar...

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

        Maybe. What's your point?

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

        Nope, said it earlier today 🙂

        1. FPL Kangaroo
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          Ah I see. Swear I saw someone say this recently.

    3. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      Of course.

      Clean sheets and BPS too.

    4. fedolefan
      • 10 Years

      Is this post about justifying Mkhi's FPL return this week?

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

        More about people complaining Richardson not getting bonus

        1. Sterling is £11Mill..…
          • 7 Years

          he should of.. Didnt see the game but wut!?

    5. Freddo

      This is a fantasy football site so unfortunately that doesn't apply to here.

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

        It does when people post comments which lack any common sense at all

        1. FPL Kangaroo
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 8 months ago

          for example.....

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

    What's the average score ?
    I scored 38 and 3 to go including captain

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

      41ish

  12. Danno - Emre Canada
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Haven't had a midfielder play yet

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

    Crystal Palace nice fixtures after the Chelsea game, any attacking assets worth considering from them?

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

      Haha good one

    2. GuyIncognito
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      They will probably have to look to Scott Dann to score their goals.

    3. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Are you OK?

      My advice: take more water with it. 😉

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

      Maybe Loftus

    5. UnitedFan
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      0 goals in 7 games......

    6. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      RLC could be a good option at the price with Zaha beside him and much better fixtures in a few weeks.

      They are going to have to score sometime.

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

      Loftus cheek. He can't do worse than the other 4.5m mids we have.

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

    Will the kneejerk be predominantly about not having Ben Davies?

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

      23k thought it was Morata

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

    No GW ranks yet?
    66 all out is decent I think -might not saying that after pool and Arsenal?

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

      Pool will put 5 past Newcastle

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

      It's good for now - but I think a lot have already scored in the 60s with a few players to come.

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

    Are people considering sterling on wildcard or is he considered too much rotation risk?

    Not sure if to keep eriksen (already have kane) or move him to sterling.

    I'll be getting Silva so would be 2 city mids....

    Any views?

    Thanks

  17. cjhewitt92
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Depending on Morata is Lukaku and Mkhi to Morata and Hazard a good move

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

      Nope. Don't drop kaku

    2. Tim Canterbury
      • 12 Years

      67 with Salah. Would say you're in a slightly better position

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

    Can easily see Ben Davies getting benched next game. away to real 3 days later and home to pool 3 days after he'll have to start those. cant see him starting all 3 if he starts for wales. there will be a lot of regret on here in a couple week's time

    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Regrets, I had a few, but then again, too few to mention ... 😉

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

      He will score enough points over the season for his price to be a keeper IMO. I got him GW1 so not complaining.

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

      Quite possible. That's why I have a playing bench 🙂

    4. Pochecinno

      I hope Pochettino has seen enough to know that playing Son at LWB doesn't work.

    6. Tim Canterbury

        it literally is. What will happen is in 6 months time she will 100% want to get back with me. But it will be too late then, what a nub. Oh well, plenty mroe fish I guess

      Yes. Really enjoyed it. Didn't expect to but highly entertaining and quite different from most of today's films

      Fun film with a cracking soundtrack.

      Car chases. Hot women. Spacey, Foxx. Great music.

      I'm 33.

    Was going to hit WC but not so sure. Mkhit to Sterling may be sufficient and possibly Kola to Azpi. Would you hit WC?

    Foster Elliot
    Kolasinac Bertrand Davies Hegazi Long
    Eriksen Mkhitaryian Brady Atsu Carroll
    Lukaku Kane Firmino

      I'm in a very similar pickle just below. Bertrand and Long both dropping is killer... can't decide.

      Don't think it's needed tbh

    I'm putting the armband on Kane and not touching it until/if he gets injured.

      Had it on Kane BEFORE his UCL hattrick. Felt even more confident after it and some numpty put an article out 10 mins before deadline casting all kinds of doubt.

    Mark 38 points. He's gonna have "internet troubles" again isn't he

      I was a bit surprised he captained Lukaku, I could've sworn he said Kane on the scoutcast.

        He changed his mind after reading the "Captain Sensible" article.

          In my experience it's normally better to decide on captain early in the week and then not think about it.

            I decided on Kane captain gw3 - gw9 at the end of gw2.

      More like Granville is going to be back

    Worth WCing from team A to team B, or just use 2 FTs?

    A) Fabianski (Elliot)
    Alonso, Kolasinac, Bertrand (Rosenior, Long)
    Salah, Jese, Mhky, Tarrol (RLC)
    Lukaku, Vardy, Kane

    B) Hart (Elliot)
    Azpi, Maguire, Cedric, Kiko (Mbemba)
    Coutinho, Richarlison, Sterling (Tarrol, A.King)
    Lukaku, Jesus, Kane

    Need to downgrade Mooy tonight before he drops.

    Best 4.5 mid? I see King and Surman are rising tonight but haven't seen either play before. RLC doesn't appeal for the timebeing.

    Any recommendations?
