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

      no keep ota. he will be back after 1 match ban with good fixtures.

    4. CFC96
      • 6 Years

      only if you have a non playing bench

    Top one streaking ahead now. Touches in the box for the season for all positions...plenty more pts to come....http://members.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/my-stats-tables/view/4386/

      And that's why I'm bringing him on. All hail Joselu

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years

      I've got 4 out 5 of the top players in that table. Guess which one I don't have 😕 🙁

      1. Dr Dream
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        If you only ever use that stat you'll do well,...perfectly good strategy.

    3. TheTinman

      I do love touching a box

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        think outside the box

        1. Too Mane Men
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          Get a shoe in that box.

          1. Twisted Saltergater
            • 14 Years
            6 years, 6 months ago

            clearly a MILF then

  3. Differentiator
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Got to say, I think Choupo-Moting and Richarlison will continue to prove to be very good value (the former should really be doing better and I expect will eventually!).

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

      Choupo-Moting a better version of Joselu IMO. Richarlison better than both.

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

        And I own Choupo-Moting.

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

      Chopper a level below Richarlison/Gross for me.

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

        He does enough in games to make me think he'll in on the score sheet before long again

    3. fiveyears
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Have to say I'm doubtful about CM's potential in that Stoke side, especially if they revert to clean sheet mode. At least Watford should always attack under Silva.

      Gross surprises me given Brighton are usually quite defensive. Not the last few games!

    4. Digital-Real
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      This season at home he has 2 goals and 3 assists. Next 5 at home:

      Liverpool
      Swansea
      West Ham
      West Brom
      Newcastle

      got to be points in those games for him. I'm keeping.

    5. Sánchez
      • 11 Years

      Have both, selling choupo

  4. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Davies Vardy to

    A Morata Duffy or
    B Abraham Azpilicueta or
    C Stick

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

      A for me

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

    Current team:

    Elliot
    Walker Jones Simpson Kola
    Sterling Atsu Eriksen Tarroll
    Kaku Kane Jesus

    Subs: Fabianski, Tarroll, Chalobah, Mbemba

    Have 2 FT

    Jesus to Morata
    Eriksen to Salah
    ?

    1. Moosie the Staggie
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Look like good moves to me

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

    No replies last time out 🙁

    Here's the team, another week with steady progress, but still a frustrating rank

    Fabianski / Elliot
    Kola Ward Duffy / Davies Maguire
    Salah D.Silva Ritchie RLC / Chalobah*
    Kane Jesus Morata

    2FT, 0 ITB

    I'm going into the international break here with two free transfers, not going to make them now but it'd be good to have some ideas

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

      Thinking Davies and Ritchie to Richarlison and Daniels?

      1. Shakshuka
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Can you afford Davies - > Jones and Ritchie - > Richa?

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

          0.2 off that unfortunately

    2. Frank Koscielny
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Great team. Fab, Davies and Ritchie looks like players to transfer out. Maybe downgrade Davies to a 4.0 and upgrade RLC or Tcarroll to a better 4th mid

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

        Interesting ideas, hadn't thought of those transfers, although I think if I were to upgrade my 4th midfielder I'd be looking to get Richarlison in and I can't afford that, but Gross is definitely an option

        Thanks 🙂

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

    Conte is a stubborn old get so might be hard for Luiz to worm his way back in, just ask Diego

    1. Robe Wan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Just needs to apologise. Could be back next week

  8. ScratchingTheMud
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Any idea what the LMS safety score will be?

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

      1 above your score im afraid

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

      Magician isn't around.

    3. Regin
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      what is lms safety score?

      1. ScratchingTheMud
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        TM's last man standing league

        1. Regin
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          ??

  9. Stephen Carty
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Anyone know which players are going to have a rise in price during the international break?

    Also, is everyone thinking about Davies?

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

      Salah etc. probably will, but I doubt many - if any - will rise by more than 0.1 over the break.

      Davies probably should go unless Rose gets injured with England or something.

    2. Robe Wan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Am keeping Bavies as he’s in pochs first team

      Other probs

    3. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Davies should go unless you have more pressing problems.

  10. Jon Bones Jones
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Hazard or Eriksen to Salah? Have Morata and Kane

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

      Probably Eriksen. Hazard looked pretty good and after pool lots of good fixtures on the way. Eriksen off form and still playing deeper? Did not see today's game.

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

      Haz for me...he's on the same level as the other two, but more expensive...not worth the extra mil

  11. Albrightondknight
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    A. Jesus to Morata
    B. Alli to Salah ( only got Alli in this week for a hit)
    C. Jesus and Tarrol to
    Salah and 4.5 forward fodder for -4 and wait 2 further weeks before Vardy Morata. This would be 352.

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

      Tough call.. Id say A or C.. pool playing sou will not be a runover.. so Salah and wait til after chelsea I suppose

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

        Thanks think I will go A.
        Taking too many hits recently.

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

          Same.. A is senseable.. also a viable captain option

  12. chilli con kone
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Will Christiansen nail down a place?

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

      We will see in a couple of gws

  13. FC Hakkebøf
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Repost.. Need more important you guys!

    I have four questions I need som advice on...

    A) Is it worth doing Cameron to Ben Mee on a ft if no other pressing issues?
    B) Is Lukaku a must have over the next fixture run? Currently own Aguero Kane and Morata
    C) Shaqiri, Zaha, Richarlison or other similar priced midfielder?
    D) If you had to choose only one of Sterling and Alli, who would pick?

    Looking forward to your answers, cheers buddies!

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

      *Input instead of important

    2. chilli con kone
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Yes
      Hmm no but yes. Not in your situation.
      Richarlison
      Sterling

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

        Thanks buddy.. im settled on three matters.. not sure who to ditch between sterling and alli

    3. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      A. Yes
      B. No
      C. Rich
      D. Probably Alli but hard call

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

        Thanks buddy. My thoughts exactly. Answered your post below

    4. Darklord_bg
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      A. Yes
      B. No...it's between him and Kun, but for now I'd stick with the latter.
      C. Rich
      D. Alli

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

        Thanks buddy!

  14. how now brown cow
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Davies, Eriksen -> Azpi, Sane for free?

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

      sounds good

    2. Aram95
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Yes

  15. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Yay or nay?

    Lascelles > Joe Gomez

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

      Yay.. but with moreno

  16. sully29
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    How did Silva look today?

    1. ralfb
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      don't like his haircut apart from that, good

      1. ralfb
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        I am keeping him

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Like a maestro. Bossed it with Kevin, making me look an absolute numbnuts for selling him.

    3. Captain Blanks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Good involvement, not loads of goal/assist threat but plenty of action around the penalty area

      1. Dr Dream
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        He has more assists than anybody in the game.

  17. Captain Blanks
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Christensen at 5.4 could be an option if this Luiz/Conte thing is serious. Fixtures look good from GW 14, so next couple of weeks will be interesting to watch

  18. HALFSPACE
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    To fund jesus > lukaku

    A) Richarlison to RLC
    B) Sterling to Ramsey

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

      Hate to get rid of Richo but needs must

    2. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      I would do none and do Jesus to Morata instead

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

        Should have said I own Kane/Jesus/Morata currently

  19. Twisted Saltergater
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Elliot guaranteed CS next gameweek.

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

      I hope so.. a stellmate could be great (rhyme power)

  20. Timon
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Hazard is soon going to be in the teams

  21. Garfield1001
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Do I wildcard?

    Current squad:
    Foster Elliott
    Jones Bavies Mee Otamendi Long
    Salah Eriksen Sterling Ritchie Carroll
    Joselu Aguero Kane

    Opinions appreciated!!!

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

      Nope

    2. Tatty Bojangles
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      What would you change?

      1. Garfield1001
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Foster
        Otamendi (banned)
        Long
        Bavies
        Ritchie
        Joselu

        All would definitely go

    3. Aram95
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      No

    4. Prøfeßör …
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      I think so. Joselu, Ritchie, Carroll, Bavies, Foster, Long are all issues. Potentially Otamendi, Aguero and Eriksen too + no Chelsea defender.

  22. The Left Duke #3
    • 9 Years

    Speroni Elliot
    Otamendi* Gomez Kiko Dunk Mee
    Salah Silva Richarlison Gross Carroll

    Otamendi suspended by my 4 other DFs have plum home fixtures, should I just hold Ota or being in Jones or Daniels?

  23. Coaly
    • 11 Years

    Any early thoughts on my best move(s) here with 2FT?

    a) Choupo to Gross

    Would you wildcard this team?
    Elliot
    Jones, Otamendi, Mee
    Eriksen, Salah, Sterling*, Ritchie*
    Kane, Aguero*, Abraham
    Sub: Foster*, Naughton, T.Carroll, Long*
    Have 1 FT and 0.8 ITB

    * denote the player that I want to sell

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Sterling has the third highest PPG of ANY player (behind Aguero and Pogba).

      And you want to sell him??

  25. Aram95
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Davies or Hegazi to Daniels?

    1. Darklord_bg
