Dugout Discussion – Bournemouth vs Chelsea

Saturday’s events end at the Vitality Stadium with AFC Bournemouth hosting champions Chelsea.

A high profile fixture for Fantasy managers, it’s importance has been elevated by Harry Kane’s injury which helped to spark 320,000 investors in Alvaro Morata. More than 132,000 of those arrived from the Spurs striker.

Morata disappointed on his return to Chelsea’s XI against Watford at Stamford Bridge, producing a single point from a 60-minute display. But four of his six goals for the Blues have arrived on the road and the Spaniard has had more big chances in away matches than any other player.

Eden Hazard is the other prize asset on show. He’s considered to dip in points output away from home, having scored 12 of his 16 goals last season on home turf. Yet to score this season, the Belgian boasts four goals in his last three matches against the Cherries.

Fantasy interest in Eddie Howe’s side is somewhat limited, with Charlie Daniels their top owned player; he is part of 9.3% of squads, though 45% of his managers have benched him for this evening’s clash.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    I'm seeing lots of decent scores being posted, what happened to all the rubbish ones? I'm on about 34 post baps with 3 to play...seems very much below average on here.

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Folk only post their score on here when it’s good! 34 looks alright, been a funny week

      1. Garlana
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Yeh, my score is including 1 point for captain so it could be a lot worse

    2. Garlana
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Hah nevermind, I've found a few to make me feel better.

      Sounds like you haven't been on here too long - some of those who usually struggle but occasinally have a decent week are amazingly quick to tell people how well they have done

    6. FPLHaggis
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      25 with Pope, Tarky and Gross to go. Clark and Mbemba too if I'm really lucky.

  3. shearer9

    Who is the most urgent transfer out: Sterling, Bavies, Jesus, or Kane?

    1. Royal5
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Lol. What's urgent with Sterling?

      1. shearer9
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Not starting.

    2. Clintymints
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      One of the city boys for me

    3. trequartista
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Davies
      Jesus
      Kane (depends on fitness)
      Sterling

      1. shearer9
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Trouble is Bavies could easily start and get a CS v Palace.

    4. John Nerdelbaum
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      how can kane be urgent?

      1. shearer9
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        If injured

    5. fancy111
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Jesus and keep an eye on Bavies for Rose getting his first choice spot back

    6. Reuser
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Not sure any of them are particularly "urgent if you have a decent bench.

      1. shearer9
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Only have Brady.

    7. Cookie Kid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      I have all and also want the answer to this. Throw Kola in

      Def not Kane though!! Maybe Jesus

    8. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Jesus of those...out of form, not massively likely to start the next one

      1. shearer9
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Who to get in though? I have Vardy

    1. theroadrunner
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      good shout mate. I wish I had read before. Can't be too sad though with captaining hazard.

      1. Cok3y5murf
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Well done. Baps magnet. I am a scared non-owner.

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

      Oi. That's my line 😉

      1. theroadrunner
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        which one?

  4. money face bandwagon
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    chicharito is a player that i always want to get rid but have more pressing transfers to make. guess i should just stick with him and hope for the best?

  5. fancy111
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    55 with Elliot gross and Duffy to go. Slowly crawling my way back to a respectable rank. Jesus VC forgot to change it from Kane to Haz:( was the only real let down

    1. pjomara
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Nicely done, wish I had been as brave as you - keeping Kane and using RLC instead of a transfer. Brought in Lacazette as my C

      1. fancy111
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        That's rough. Was thinking Morata but wanted two transfers going into next week. Was actually pretty lucky was going to do Kola to Moreno and Gross to Richarlison but kept bottoming out on my posts so thought it was a sign to leave it.

  6. MartialMatas
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    59 with 2 to play and RLC coming off the bench

    Mostly because I was drunk and forgot to make transfers

    So much luck in this game

  7. Flynny
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Which 1 would you bench from these please?

    Luiz v united
    Jones at Chelsea
    Ota v arsenal
    Ward at saints
    Wimmer v Leicester

    Thanks

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

      Wimmer

    2. Royal5
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Wimmer

    3. Garlana
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      A tough question, all could keep a cleanie or Easily conceed, maybe base it on baseline baps?

    4. fancy111
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Ward

    5. JustPark
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Wimmer. The cheapest and likely to concede against Vardy(I hope).

      1. Flynny
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Cheers....i expect at this stage it will be ward or wimmer....

        Best way to deal with a bad week is to look forward to the next one!

  8. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Terrible fixtures next week. Eying up Silva, Morata > Son, Kane (C) -4. Decent?

    1. HD7
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Wait to see Kane if he is fit. Fingers crossed

  9. The Yorkshire Pirlo
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Silva + Kola > Sane + Daniels

    Been looking at the Silva/Sane move past couple of gwks and maybe I should've made the move earlier 🙁

  10. HD7
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    You can rarely see such a discrepancy: Kane is in top 5 in and out both 😀

  11. camarozz

    36 - 4.

    Big fat dirty useless red arrow.

    I hate Ramsey. Had him since wk 2 and since iv sold he's got 21 and iv got 6 for his replacement. What an A hole.

    1. Jack Burton
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      It happens

    2. Lanley Staurel

    Tammy. What a player

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

      Won't play Arsenal every week.

      1. Yankee Toffee
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        LOL

  13. Big_Bear
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    If Kane is out for next week would bringing in Alli and captaining him be a good option (assuming pens)

    1. Cok3y5murf
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      No, imo. He's just not in form.

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        I have it on Eriksen at mo.

    2. fedolefan

      Yeah, I'm tempted to be honest.

  14. Vlad

    6 years, 7 months ago

    lol dude leading my ML is on 707 points atm so ranked 2-3 in the world... :O 😀 whats depressing difference between him and me without captaincy points would be less then 30 insted of 119.... captaincy is everything

    1. JustPark
      • 8 Years

      How do you know it's a dude?

      1. Vlad

        https://fantasy.premierleague.com/a/team/2241/event/10

        I added bps and bench points... if I am not mistaken he is at least 3rd tonight (without the 4 bench points coming in)

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

    My team is such a mess
    Kola injured
    Kane injured
    Kun playing msuical chairs
    Sterling playing musical chairs
    Otamendi one card away from a ban
    only one playing bench outfield player

    1. Ange Ball
      • 9 Years

      Kola injured you sure?

    2. Vlad

  16. Cookie Kid

    Why is everyone selling Kane? Have I missed something?

    Thought Poch said he might even be back for CL

    1. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Reputable journo reckoned he'd miss Palace game.

      1. Cookie Kid
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Ah ok, do you know who it was?

    2. Flynny
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Guess it's poss that he plays v Madrid and then rested v palace???

      Although after their defeat today prob less likely....eho knows...

    3. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      People see a red flag and sell. There were fowards with good fixtures this week for a one week gamble as well.

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

        Lacazette capper I'd take it?

        1. badgerboy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Nah, limp Salad for me.

  17. FlyingWithoutIngs
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Morata and sane or hazard and aguero???? Mainly due to city nailedness is it worth forming out 11.8 for aguero if he doesn’t start whereas if sane doesn’t it doesn’t seem as bad

    1. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Think we're circling back toward a Kane Kak front line with budget 3rd striker and one or two City mids, with the odd dip into City front line.

  18. #FPLBhuna
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Had I not played the freehit I would be on 37 after hits and bonus with VARDY MAGUIRE CEDRIC AND FORSTER TO PLAY

    Having free-hitted I am on 37 with VARDY POPE AND MEE to play

    EPIC FAIL
    GUTTED
    HATE FPL

    Anyone do worse than that?

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

      Told you already it's not that bad. *Sigh*

    2. asquishypotato
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Yes I’m on 20 with my captain played and 3 left

    3. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Sure there's plenty worse than that. The chips are always a bit of a gamble.

  20. Legomané
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Selling Jones on WC GW8 was a massive error... 2x 9 pointers since... essential to bring him in immediately or hold off? I've got Haz and Azpi so something would have to give...

    1. badgerboy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Same here. I'm going to wait until after the Chelsea game.

      1. Legomané
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Bloody nuisance- esp since all rivals have him and a couple have doubled with DDG...

    2. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      I got rid for Cresswell for a hit. Desperate...

  21. The Big Fella
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Just seen Salah missed a pen! Gutted. Nevermind. What is the average score (overall and top 10k) so far?

    1. Cookie Kid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Both about 35 after hits

      1. Cookie Kid
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Sorry, pre-hits. 33 and 34 after hits

  22. Lanley Staurel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    As a Kane owner this slight injury is good news. Less people owning him due to sales. Fingers crossed he is OK so Im keeping for now.

  23. Ange Ball
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Minus 12 still 3 to play on 58pts. Taking out Sterling to Ozil cost me 5pts.

    What are Aguero owners going to Do? Ship out for Morata? Still got Kane should I drop just hold out until Wednesday by that time Kane will be 12.5

    1. Rudy
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      leave for now aguero will start vs ars

  24. Dr. DOOM
    • 6 Years

    37 with 4 to play. Green?

    1. MisterMaster
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Above average for sure

      1. MisterMaster
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Just depends on your current rank

        1. Dr. DOOM
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Btw you have any idea what was the lms safety score last week?

  25. MisterMaster

      6 years, 7 months ago

    2. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years

    That Zaha goal cost me my acca.
    Twice in two wks a late goal as ruined me. Wouldnt mind I was sure West ham had won till an hr ago.
