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.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

      Unlucky Richarlison owners...

      Wiinning a pen counts for nothing if its missed? Baps wise

      1. Sánchez

        Seems stupid

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

          Very

      2. the snazzy viking

        6 years, 7 months ago

        They have a different system in the UCL Fantasy game, you get 2 points for earning the pen and you lose 2 if you miss it

        2 points for scoring one as well

  2. Differentiator

    6 years, 7 months ago

    On the bright side...

    That pen miss keeps Richarlison slightly more under the radar 🙂

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 9 Years

      Mate he's 16% owned

    2. the snazzy viking

    3. F4L
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

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

        Better than my Kane (C) 🙂

        1. F4L
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          but im guessing you're ahead of me so I needed the points 😛

    1. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah, I thought the same. It was like intentional.

  6. eamonhegg

    6 years, 7 months ago

    GOING to hit the WC button! Sitting around at 16kOR before this GW and only got 33 points. Think my team can do with a make over. Please share any advise and or if you would do it!

    Elliot / Foster**
    Jones / Mee / Moreno / Kol** / Cedric**
    Sane / Richarlson / Carroll / D Silva** / Fab**
    Kane / Kaku / Vardy**

    REPLACEMENT
    Speroni
    Azpil / Dunk
    RLC / Salah
    Morata

  7. KJT123

    Richarlison UNREAL

  8. HALFSPACE
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Need to find a way to get Lukaku without selling Richarlison

    Which combo better,

    A) Ramsey + Richarlison
    B) Sterling + RLC

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

    Good fixtures after the break, minute assured(kind of). The big question.
    Morata
    OR
    Lukaku

  10. goriuanx
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    For those without Lukaku, who's your captain next GW?

    1. Pirlø's Pen
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Salah/Morata I reckon. Tricky one though.

    2. CFC96
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      I have lukaku and its definitely Kane

      1. CFC96
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        not captaining him away in a north london derby is dangerous imo

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

          lol?

          1. CFC96
            • 6 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            Lol? Look at kanes record against London teams, if you want to captain someone else though then fairs, several ways to play the game

        2. Klopp's Kids
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Isn't he good against Arsenal?

          1. CFC96
            • 6 Years
            6 years, 7 months ago

            He is which is why I'm capping

    3. fedolefan
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      I think with or without Lukaku, I'm captaining Kun. But I have the cash to get him in.

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

        Jesus has started every away game hasn't he?

        1. fedolefan
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Maybe, but Kun started against Brighton and Watford too. I think he will start most times. Plus, Jesus didn't exactly light it up against WBA away.

      2. the snazzy viking
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        I'll make sure to not lol @ him when he gets rested 😉

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

      Kane

    5. F4L
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Morata

    6. Yome
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Kane

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

      Morata most likely. Perhaps Richarlison.

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

      Kane

    9. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Aguero/Morata.

    10. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      I have Lukaku

      Kane captain

    11. wulfrunian
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Kun or Salah

    12. liiusions
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Kun/Mane

    13. Lecky Legs FC
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Aguero or Salah

    14. Somalion
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Don't own Kaku but wouldn't be in a hurry unless Pogba returns

    15. STEP rOVERS
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Kane

    16. Mo Mané No Problems
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Between Morata and Salah for me

      1. El Lobito 10
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        With Mané back, Salah is a shoo-in for me. Kane VC. Lukaku in my team but he was awful tonight and looks slow. Newcastle good defensively away. Lukaku scored in ages. May have to review if he does well for Belgium.

    17. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Kane, Aguero, Salah or Morata.

      1. El Lobito 10
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 7 months ago

        Are you just naming all the best players now?

    filthy casuals at it again with doucoure BAP

    1. fedolefan
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Doucoure never even assisted. Real bap magnet. Just needs an assist to mop up all 3 looks like.

    2. Sánchez
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Daft

  12. Team Cruel

    Thomas @=()&%/ Cleverley you disgusting piece of )=($&(*

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

    Doucoure no goals, no assist is getting a bonus point over Richarlison 1 goal 1 pen won.

    The bonus system is a complete and utter farce.

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

      doucoure plays well richarlison usually just stands in the corner

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

    That Dourcoure BAP 😆

  15. wulfrunian

    I expected Everton would wake up but not with this way.

      Yep

  17. FPLzebub

    • 11 Years

    Tempted by Salah but it's not as if he's going to face an injury ravaged West Ham defence every week. I think i'll wait until after the Chelsea match.

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

      Salah against cahill and Alonso could end nasty for non owners

    Am I the only one keeping Vardy?

    1. Fozzyb34r
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      I'm keeping. City seem like the sort of team Leicester love playing against

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

        Plus no Otamendi! (Although Kompany might be back.)

        1. Fozzyb34r
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 7 months ago

          Didn't even think of that, good shout

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

      I'll probably keep. Just not my highest priority move, is all.

    3. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      I might keep.
