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.

    A 0-0 with no cards roughly lifts the average by 10.

      Holy smokes

      Wow I don't want this

    3. sambyy
      • 13 Years

      Would lift my bench points by 6

      I’d be on 9 exc bonus so roughly wouldn’t mind this.

    Why exactly is Jones still flagged?

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

      Lol

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Valencia, Jones, Martial and Fellaini are all flagged. Somehow they've managed 32 between them this GW.

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

        Flagging has been utter rubbish this season....got some drunk work experience lad on the job, no doubt.

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

          Possibly just Mark flagging the players he doesn't want to have a price rise?

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

            Yeah, fair point.....

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

      And Fellaini?

    Has anyone ever got a Foster clean sheet when they want it?

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

      Probably the first two weeks of the season.

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

      GW 1 & 2. They're always good for fool's gold clean sheets in the beginning of the season. Didn't hesitate to sell on wildcard two weeks ago.

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Think I might join you.

    Morgan vs. Otamendi was the choice. My head said Morgan, people here said the same. But.. My gut says Otamendi... After that Leicester CS, I hate my gut!!

  7. TorresMagic™

    Should be 1-0 City

    How's Hazard looked so far?

    1. Lone Wolf

    Horrendous week. Lukaku (c) fail, Bailly benched, Mkhi blank, Alli blank, Foster 1 pt, Bertie 1 pt. and Naughton went from 9 pts to 2 pts in the last minute. Why do I bother with this game?

    1. money face bandwagon
      • 10 Years

      lukaku scores

    2. Ravager
      • 9 Years

      Same reason you bother to repost the same complaints.

    3. Football Weekender

      Third time you’ve posted this. And I’m still certain no one cares.

    Silva & Jesus unable to reach Sterling's cross after a sick break

    1. Lone Wolf

      they will finally reach his level

    Morata!

    1. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Did he score?

    2. Pino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      No, but he is dangerous

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years

        Don't post "Morata!" then.

    Any chance of a Fellaini double rise over the IB? Worth getting on a WC now?

    1. Tired and weary
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Looking at doing exactly that, even if I don't end up keeping

      2 questions - 1. Doubt it 2. Yes, if you're happy with a cameo/super-sub who scores on appearance 🙂

  16. Monkey Hanger

    Does Morata remind anyone else of Torres?

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

      yup

  17. Stats Don\'t Lie
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    I tell you what, the more I watch Morata the more class he looks

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

      one of the best forwards in PL

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

    Morata reminds me of torres from his Liverpool days

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

      Behave!

    2. Football Weekender
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Big statement! Torres was absolute lightening, not sure Morata has that insane speed but he’s clearly class. Loves that check inside, shoulder drop then breeze past the defender the other way move too.

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

    Silva looking very good

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

      Sterling looks better

  20. UnitednationsXI
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Mid-games i know but willian expected to drop in price tonight...so:

    Forster
    Bertrand Valencia Kola Mee -- Wimmer
    Salah Ritchie Mkhi -- Willian Carroll
    Kaku Joselu Morata

    A: Willian + Valencia >> Brady + Alonso (-4)
    B: Willian + Valencia >> Sterling + Walker/Azpi (-4)
    C: something else?

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

      or just take the 0.1m price drop and see what happens over the intl break.

  21. Fred54

    Does Morata remind you of TM?

      Not for me, fixtures don’t appeal and he’s bound to pick up yellows in big intense games.
