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.

    I currently have 8 of the overall dream team in my team (could be 9 tomorrow if Salah does something), but still kinda a feel a bit underwhelmed. I think it might be Morata's injury and the fact my -8 hit didn't pay off (Pedro, Alonso and Trippier(!!!) out for Silva, Azpi and Otamendi).

      Why would you get rid of trippier before they played Huddersfield for a hit? And bring in a guy playing the highest scoring team in the league.. makes no sense.

        It was more of a long term move. And I'm a sucker for variety.

    Wait, am I missing something?

    Did Morata die, get put in a coffin and buried so I need to sell immediately?

    1. MTPockets
        6 years, 8 months ago

        No but it doesn't sound brilliant (I also have him).

        "May miss internationals" If he's a maybe for those games, it looks good for the Palace game.

      I'm so glad Jonty grilled Mark so hard on his WC. Rightfully so, I'm still scratching my head.

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

        Even if he did, still don't sell yet as his price isn't about to fall

        It will take a few weeks to steady the ship. It is listing badly atm.

    3. Weeb Kakashi

      Groß or Choupo on WC

      Also
      Best City defender out of the lot?

      1. VFORVANDETA
        • 7 Years

        Choupo and Otamendi.

    4. COYS.
      • 6 Years

      Reading how people have scored is now making me worried.. all I am seeing is 55+points .. with 3 or 4 players to go

      I thought it was a bad week overall till now.. I scored 38 and was thinking I would be around avg..
      But now really worried

      1. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 11 Years

        63 with 5 to play here.

          We heard you the 5th time.

          Well done though.

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

        Don't worry. Only people with good scores do score checks

      3. RoysCallerAnne
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        All the big scorers reply to score checks.
        Twas always the FFS way.
        The top 10k average is 40 so use that as a barometer.

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

        Yeah thank you.. that helps.
        And my captain is still left

      5. Sterling is £11Mill..…
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 8 months ago

        dont worry I have a crap score also, but my team is good. Just Vardy, Morata, Sterling, got me nothing really.

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

        Average is around 41. Just lots of people gloating.

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

        Your score seems normal actually. The big scores in the 50s are those with either a) Davies/Trippier or b) Kane captainers or both.

    5. Sandy Ravage
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Morata not too seriously injured

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

        Likely to be back in 2 weeks?

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

      A Kola goal and clean sheet tomorrow to go with my Davies Jones and Francis points today would be awesome.

      1. VFORVANDETA
        • 7 Years

        Hope so.

      Morata will be back after intnl break i suspect

      1. Tim Canterbury
        • 12 Years

        Be the quickest hamstring injury recovering in football history

        1. Differentiator
          • 8 Years

          Doesn't look/sound like a tear, rather a tightening

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

      Early thoughts on what to do with this team?

      Fabianski / Elliot
      Kola Davies Maguire Ward / Wimmer
      Salah D.Silva Ritchie / **RLC** **Chalobah**
      Lukaku Morata* Laca

      1FT, 1.2 ITB

      Thinking maybe Lukaku to Kane

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

        Yeah.Need more Kane.

    10. Dynamic Duos

      Laca best get hatty tomorrow

      Its only really Mbemba who looks to rise tonight if your WCing, could wait till tomorrow instead to WC

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

      RLC to surman too sideways? With morata maybe injured i need a playing 4 and 5th def.

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

        RLC will be fine after chelsea game. Useless to switch since Surman will only get you 2 points max

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

      Own Silva and Lukaku, in a bit of a dilemma re keep Mkhi or get sterling

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

      Reasons for Sterling
      1) Could be explosive
      2) Fixtures in comparison to Mkhi's poor fixtures
      3) Allows me to keep Lukaku instead of getting Jesus while efficiently covering City with Sterling & Silva
      4) Pogba could be back when/if Sterling becomes less of an option

      All things considered
      A) Sterling
      B) Keep Mkhi

      Thanks in advance

        Advice please

        Would you WC this (as was my plan all week)

        Erik (BOU) Choup (mci) Ritchie (sou) Salah (MUN)
        Kaku (liv) Kane (BOU) Vardy (WBA)

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

            Rondon looked good today

        2. FPL Mentor

          Nope

          No, good team

        4. We Will Klopp you
          • 7 Years

          Why? bar Hennessey and Dawson nothing there needs to be changed

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

          How many people would you actually shift?

          1. Pep says
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 8 months ago

            6 or 7 at least.. I dunno. I'd planned on WC'ing for the past 2 weeks and the reason I'm asking is I'm not sure I need to WC so now I'm confused

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

              To be honest I only see your bench as an issue! Can easily just 1FT over the break to shift Hennessy, then gradual tweaking I think

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

        Would you WC this? Want Salah, City mid...want rid of Keepers, Firmino, Brady, Mkhi, Hegazi, TAA..

        Foster
        Jones / Davies / Mee
        Eriksen / Mkhi / Ramsey / Brady
        Kane / Kun / Firmino

        Myhill / Carroll / Hegazi / TAA

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

          Yup. Think they'll get something against Bournemouth
          And would you really drop Kane after 13 goals in sept again at a Liverpool team that concede of 12 in 6 matches in sept.Liverpool only clean sheets this season were palace and arsenal both if which were at home.

      14. Would an idiot do that?
        • 9 Years

        Kolasinac or Davies. Whos the better season keeper? Worried about Rose (Asking for SkyFF)

        How does one go about getting City and Chelski in this team?

        Begovic/Elliot

          You really need double rises to make it worth while.

          http://www.fplstatistics.com/

          Keep monitoring up to the deadline, some 3 arrows might rise. Don't know if any of these are likely double risers over the 2 weeks though

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

            Is this correct ?
            Why would people ship in Lowe.. he did not even play 60 mins
            Yesterday also it said firmino will fall in price.. but didn't happen

            It's confusing really

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

              It's an estimation based on transfers in and out - not perfect but better than a blind stab in the dark

        3. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy

          and the sites not as accurate as recent seasons
