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.

    City are brilliant. When you spend big money, that's the sort of football you have to deliver.

      Perfect manager, perfect system, perfect opponents.

        They do it regardless of the opponent

          United & Spurs will be the tests.

      Jose doesn't agree

    Score prediction and scorers chaps?

    Wheres Luiz?

      Started the international break early

      Tactical decision not to play him, according to Conte. We´ll see about that..

      I actually benched him due to also owning Jones and not believing this will be goalless, damage reduction. Good call.

      If I only was that smart about C Salah instead of Kane..

    So what are we expecting from Chelsea-United? United to kick Hazard a lot, goalless draw or 1 goal either way to settle the game?

  5. Coot

    Mourinho and Hazard... Awkward

  6. Alan The Llama

    Chelsea v Greece 2004

    It's going to be a thriller.

    Lukaku brace incoming

    United 1-0 win with Lukaku goal.

  9. Syd.

    Can see United nicking this 1-0

  10. Deano

    So Luiz is the toxic element at Chelsea. Christensen could be gold at 5.4M.

    Kane is infuriating. Captained him for 5x home games this season - Chelsea, Burnley, Swansea, Bournemouth, Palace....

    A grand total of 0 goals, 0 assists & 1 YC!

    Meanwhile missed his 4x hauls in the away games either side of them. I think with Kane it requires a permanent captain & just take the 2 pointers.... rotating captaincy is a killer.

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

      Its all about the big hitters away from home!

      Or Lukaku at home vs minnows.

  12. GAMBIT

    Christensen could be a really good option now that Kante is back IF he can nail down that spot

    I wonder how they will remember our generation on Remembrance Day in 100 years.

      Unfortunately as anti-war greenies that had no respect for those that fought and died for our freedom. The loud minority rules social engineering these days with the constant media attention.

    Lukaku blank please.

  22. Jafooli

    So I need to sell 10 of 15 players.

    Suggestions?

    1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly

      WC

      1. Jafooli

        6 years, 6 months ago

        I tried that, but after I flushed they kept floating.....

        1. Cityzen Kane
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          brilliant comment 🙂

    2. Chirsbom

      The world leader of this GW after yesterday matches with a total of 88 points did 17 transfers coming into the week.

      Think about that.

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

        Wow, new tactic?

      2. Cityzen Kane
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        1 ft and 16 hits x -4..... equals 64 point loss.... therefore week gain 24points!! think about that haha

        But the point really is that, it isnt a team thats competing for OR... its one that some changes every week to try win the weekly prize.

  23. DA Minnion (Former great)

  26. fedolefan

    As expected for the 3 minutes so far. Just another 87 to go.

  27. Jafooli

    Need a Jones goal to save GW.

    1. Jafooli

  28. Klopptomist Scott Jelly

    Thoughts on De Bruyne? Strongly considering bringing in for Eriksen

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

      Not if you'll never captain him

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

        True and I never will... Maybe Sane and Sterling then!

  29. Jafooli
