Dugout Discussion – Sunday

After Man City got the better of Arsenal at the Etihad, we’re treated to a pair of 4.30pm encounters as the curtain comes down on Gameweek 11.

Chelsea’s clash with Man United at Stamford Bridge sees two of the top seven Fantasy Premier League captains go head-to-head.

Romelu Lukaku and Alvaro Morata have been handed the armband by 17.9% and 2.8% respectively, though both have struggled for form and failed to score in three of their last four league appearances.

After bagging a first double-digit haul of the season last week, Eden Hazard could emerge as a differential – he looks likely to be handed a central role due to the return of N’Golo Kante.

Lukaku was the most sold player ahead of Gameweek 11, having failed to score in his last six in all competitions.

Yet with back-to-back home matches against Newcastle and Brighton preceding a trip to Watford, interest will surely pick up again over the break.

Everton and Watford collide at Goodison in the other fixture.

While the Toffees’ shambolic start to the season has ensured that most of us steer clear, the Hornets’ Richarlison goes into this one heavily backed.

Over 16% of FPL managers have acquired the young Brazilian, who has served up three goals, two assists and 36 of his 51 FPL points away from home.

    Just looking through my previous Gameweeks and choosing the wrong captain is costing me. I've only made the correct captaincy twice and I've been playing it safe. :/

    Fair play to people who captained Salah this weekend and had Kane in their team. I think I'm going to start taking more risks with my captaincy. Much more rewarding when it pays off.

      I had a shocker of a season last year. It coincided with watching less football. This season watched a lot more of the PL and convinced it has helped my captaincy picks.

      I've not had a captain score more than six, VC was Salah this week,and had captained him last week for his pen miss

    Forster (Elliott)
    Jones, Mee, Bavies (Ottamendi, Mbemba)
    Silva, Sterling, Salah, Gross (RLC)
    Abraham, Kane, Lukaku

    Got 1 FT and 1.1 ITB

    1. Forster >> Pope or 4.0 keeper. Obviously liverpool and united away for forster and elliot next week.
    2. Bavies >> Azpi or another defender?
    3. Mbemba >> ??

      1. Royal5
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah think so. Not interested in Lukaku atm. Vardy on the other hand, I might ship.

    2. fedolefan
      • 9 Years

      No doubt whatsoever.

  7. _Ninja_

    Best from these 2?

    A. Sane / Vardy
    B. Gross / Lukaku

    1. Cookie Kid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      B

  8. cjhewitt92
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Which to sell over the break

    A) Bavies
    B) Tripper
    C) Bertrand
    D) Aguero
    E) Jesus

    Both City scored today will they out score Lukaku and Morata overall also have Sane

      Not a fan of Arsenal. They are clearly in the Top 6, but Man City are miles ahead and then Chelsea, Spurs and Utd are a cut above.

      I like Chelsea, Spurs and Utd for defence.
      I like City, Spurs and Liverpool for attack.

  10. mr. inconspicuous

    Anyone considering Zaha?

    1. Jackal15
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Very intrigued by Zaha, just don't know who to transfer out for him. Have Salah, Sterling, Richarlison, Choupo-Moting and RLC.
      Feel like Zaha is about to blow up as Palace's fixtures get better.

  11. Cookie Kid

    2 FT make sense?

    Jesus > Lukaku
    Bavies > Daniels

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

      Looks good

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah, wait as long as you can.

      1. Cookie Kid
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Yep, there’s another price drop in there for Kaku

    3. Jay Arell
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Doing exactly the same

  12. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Alonso & Azpi same price after GW12.

  13. mrwinner
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Kane likely to rise to 12.9 or will the casuals sell him over the next few weeks and reverse the buying trend that ensued as soon as this gameweek began?

  14. Fred54
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    11 weeks in and still none the wiser who I should have up front.

    Crazy.

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      I have Morata and Vardy. But I think if you want three big up front then Jesus-Morata-Kane is the way to go. Personally am thinking Kane and Jesus long term.

      1. Cookie Kid
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        I can not justify having Jesus any more when he isn’t guaranteed minutes at 10.6m

    Thoughts on this:

    T.Carrol, Yoshida & Vardy > Zaha, Daniles & King (-4) ?

    Got the exact money. Not sure about King though, but looked good in the last game and fixtures look pretty good.

  17. The Big Fella
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    I have no money in the bank and my team is such now that I have no way to make any more transfers unless I downgrade Kolasinac and Alonso. The alternative would be a straight swap for Naughton to another 4.5m player, but apart from that there are no other moves I am interested in. I still have my WC. The thing is, Chelsea and Arsenal both have great fixtures coming up and I am sure they will deliver attacking returns and CS in that time, especially no Kante is back. Not sure what to do. Any advice? My OR is good too!

    Speroni, Elliot
    Alonso, Kolasinac, Naughton, Mbemba, Long
    Salah, Sterling, Gross, RLC, Carroll
    Jesus, Aguero, Kane

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Jesus to morata another option

  18. FC Hakkebøf
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Has OR been updated yet?

    1. The Big Fella
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Yes. You could have just checked that though hahaha

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        I strangely ended up with the exact (maybe a tiny bit different) or :/

  19. mrwinner
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Pick one to start GW12 -

    Ritchie MUN (A)
    Tarroll BUR (A)

    Neither appeal but having to prioritise other parts of my team.

  20. johnthepg

    What is everyone thinking about the David Luiz situation?

    Just a one match no show or Conte taking him out permanently?

    christensen had a pretty decent game.

    1. Rash
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      Hopefully more will be revealed over the IB

      1. johnthepg
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah hopefully he doesn't drop in price over this IB

  21. EL_FENOMENO
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    a) Morata + Azpi
    b) Kaku + Jones

    1. Rash
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 5 months ago

      A but should have Jones too

  22. Rossamous
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 5 months ago

    Best 5.2 max defender?

    A. Kiko F
    B. Daniels
    C. Holebas
    D. Duffy
    E. Gomez
    F. Dann
    G. Other?

    Foster-Elliot; Naughton-Mee-Cresswell-Mbemba is the rest of my defense. Selling Alonso to upgrade Vardy to Morata.

  23. Winners900
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    6 years, 5 months ago

    Which of these options should i prioritize, pick two combinations please:

    A) Aguero -> Lukaku (C), if not I will go for Salah or Aguero as captain
    B) Bertrand -> Daniels
    C) Ritchie -> Zaha/Richarlison
    D) Foster -> Fabianski/Pope

    .

    Cheers!

    Thoughts on how likely it is Aguero will start against Leiceister? Yes, I know its Pep, and we never know. But its the first game after IB, they got an easy home game in CL the midweek, they almost have secured the 1.place in the Group, Aguero does not play that much for Argentina, Aguero scored against Napoli and Arsenal.

    I'm debating on getting Lukaku for Aguero or not. I got some other problems in mye team, but I'm little bit scared of people in my ML giving Lukaku the armband.

    Thoughts?

    Can someone save my team? Needs probably -8p

    Foster
    Jones-Bertrand-Ward
    Salah-Eriksen-Ritchie-Carroll
    Vardy-Aguero-Kane

    Elliot, Chalobah, Mbemba, Otamendi.
