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.

    FPL need to implement some sort of injury transfer.

    Impossible to stay ahead of this.

      The Hokey Cokey = a waste of 38 free transfers

        Hokey Cokeyers are holding Kane and Lukaku right now, not Morata 😉

      Or you could stop bringing in injury prone players?

      • 11 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      Its not like they down to 10men
      They dont have their main striker too

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

        Controlling the game a lot better, had the better chances, seem to have the better game plan, opposite team just lost their main striker. Cities game to lose.

    How's this for a first WC draft? (repost)

    Foster Elliot
    Monreal Davies Otamendi (Mbemba, Martina)
    Eriksen Salah Richarlison Atsu (King)
    Lukaku Kane Vardy

    Appreciate the help, lads.

    1. The Mandalorian

      Looks v good but need city cover with those fixtures

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

        Agreed. Have Otamendi, would like Silva but bl00dy hard to squeeze him in – I guess it's basicly between Vardy and Silva.

  19. The Mandalorian

    Morata cs locked in

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

    Morata has 2 weeks to recover, should be fine for next GW if nothing too serious.

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

      Not if it's muscular.

  21. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    So many more injuries this year - think best way to deal with it is to still avoid hits & play bench defenders/midfielders

  22. RAFA THE GAFFA

    Is Mariappa a 4m def option?

    The injury Morata got just means he will be rested in the IB and wont play for Spain.

  26. Rash

    Aguero to morata worked out well

    1. Crouching Tiger
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 8 months ago

      You're not the only one, if it helps.

  27. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus

    I was going to watch the game... now with Morata off I might just head to the gym. Hard to get off the sofa mind you

    Scenes when Firmino , Jesus and Laca also blanks after Luka and Morata.

    Kane captainers will be very happy. Haha.

    1. A Team Of James McCleans

        Ops. My bad. One goal.

  29. Edmond

    This season is really something else.

    Only last week we were contemplating going with 3 premium forwards due to the abundant options. Fast forward a week, Kun and Morata are injured.

  30. HNI
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 8 months ago

    Morata injury be serious right considering he subbed himself off?
    Problem is now I have exact funds to do Morata to Jesus with FT and I am sure in 15days time he will drop
