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.

      I like C on a gut feeling but best option probably D. Good team

        Ya those 2 plum home fixtures for Kaku are tempting but Aguero has great fixtures and City are on fire

      Either C or D for me. Love Lukaku's next two games but City are so much better going forward so that one is tricky.

      Keep Otamendi. Gomez, Dunk and Mee is fine for the next GW.

      1. The Left Duke #3
        • 9 Years

        Ya I think defensively I'm fine next week as the other 4DFs have good home fixtures

  2. Begbie.

    Sane or Mane going forward? Already have Sterling and Salah but looking at these two for a double up.

    1. ooooo
      • 6 Years

      I probably will be

    "Alvaro Morata has revealed he asked Cesar Azpilicueta to provide him with an assist ahead of Chelsea’s Premier League clash against Manchester United.

    Speaking after the win, goalscorer Morata told Sky Sports: ‘I told him [Azpilicueta] before the game, I need one today like this and he made it so I’m very happy."

      azpi's 5th assist like this for moratat this season. outrageous

    Really hate it when the player you want to bring in is gonna rise on the first day of IB.

    1. Cocky Spaniel Alves
      • 12 Years

      Who?

    2. BERGKOP

      It's rubbish but if you're pushed for cash you have little choice

  5. chilli con kone

    Repost.

    Eliot / 4.0

    Alonso / Jones / Kiko / Naughton / 3.9

    Salah / Silva / Sterling / Carroll / RLC

    Morata / Kane / Firmino

    A. Firmino and Alonso > Lukaku and Daniels -4
    B. Firmino and Sterling > Lukaku and Richardson -4
    C. Save

    Worried of a Utd backlash in the next few strong fixtures.

    1. Pep Roulette
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Nothing for a hit!

  6. Whats the Mata?
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Bought Ota for 5.7
    Sell him or bench him?
    Have Luiz too..

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

      Bench if possible.

  7. LIARS POKER
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Sterling owner but think he will be dropped next game, was very wasteful today Pep won't be happy

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

      Are you selling or keeping?

      1. LIARS POKER
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Keeping, got him in for 7.8 still really good value even if he misses the odd game or comes off the bench

  8. George James
    • 9 Years

    Well that was an eventful weekend of FPL. Think I have aged 10 years in 24 hours.

    So.... best move on the below?

    2FT 1.9 ITB

    A) Vardy + Stones >> Lukaku + Mee

    B) Vardy + Cedric >> Morata + Mee

    C) anything else?

    Elliot / JP

    Cedric / Jones / Azpil / Stones / Huney

    Salah / DSilva / Richarlison / TC / RLC

    Kane / Jesus / Vardy

    Lukaku: 7 goals 3 assists in 990 mins
    Jesus: 7 goals 1 assist in 598 mins

    With the big strikers seemingly performing, which 3 do you prefer?

    1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
      • 10 Years

      Got the first 3

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

        Me too.

        1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
          • 10 Years

          You forgot the hashtag.

        2. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          You gonna get Lukaku?

          I'm a bit weary, Zlatan back soon and will give him a run for his money.

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

            Zlatan isn't back till the turn of the year.

            1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
              • 10 Years
              6 years, 6 months ago

              Well, I saw an interview after the game before Chelsea.
              It was with DdG, he said he was back in training with the team already and looked strong as always.
              It's also been reported here in Sweden he is getting close, now he has 2 weeks training without games so I reckon he will be stealing minutes at minimum before December.

          2. goriuanx
            • 13 Years
            6 years, 6 months ago

            It looks like Jesus is Pep's away man so considering Aguero (lei, hud) to Lukaku (NEW, BRI) and reassess.

            1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
              • 10 Years
              6 years, 6 months ago

              Sounds a plan. I'm likely to keep or go Kun to Murray to get someone more expensive that Richarlison in midfield.

              Awaiting more news on Zlatan as he is straight in when back.

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

          Me three.. wait what?

          I think it is the right constellation

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

      Jesus - Morata - Kane

      1. Maddi Son
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        I have the same but with Aguero and wondering if he's worth the extra million.

    3. Pompel
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      On Kane + Morata + 5.0 in a 3-5-1 at the moment. More value in midfield.

      1. Pompel
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        *3-5-2

    4. *sigh*

    5. TheTwelfthMan
      • 6 Years

      Middle 3.

    6. dhamphiir
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Kane, Lukaku, Morata

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

      Don't think 3 will be sustainable.

      Kane & Lukaku for me for the next few weeks.

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

      Got the middle 3 currently

    9. TheTwelfthMan
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Surprised to see the lack of Lukaku. NEW BHA wat.. you know he'll make you pay.

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

        Yes, but look at Kun's fixtures and consider the team he plays for.

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

          Exactly, the team he plays for, rotation central.

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

            Was there any rotation doubt when he was destroying Pool and Watford?

    10. Cocky Spaniel Alves
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Looking at this, why the obsession with Kane... one might ask.

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

        personally i think safety is huge, every week he hauls could be disastrous for a non owner

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

    All aboard the Kane-a-go-round

  12. mrwinner
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Is Dann a decent option to bring in at 4.7 given that they now have 8 fixtures with decent looking clean sheet possibilities? Dann also looked a threat going forward today and Palace defence looked pretty solid overall.

    1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Yep, think so.
      But not because CS, only due to goals+assists.

      1. Tim Canterbury
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        They kept Spurs quiet

      2. mrwinner
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Most nailed Palace defender to start at the moment would you say?

        1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 6 months ago

          No clue about most nailed but nailed and the only one I would even consider.

    2. Tim Canterbury
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Top 4 for headed goal attempts for the season

      Mee
      Duffy
      Otem
      Dann

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

        Interesting. Definitely think there is some value in him now having dropped from 5.0 after some tough fixtures and having a bit of bad luck. He's surely due to bring in a few decent point tallies over the next 8 games. Also no need to worry about swapping him in and out which for a 4.7 player represents great value.

  13. FPL_Hazards
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Have Luiz and Otamendi

    Otamendi dropping tomorrow night

    A) Ota > Jones
    B) Luiz > Jones
    C) Hold TF, Jones probably get injured in IB

    2. Do I Not Like Orange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Otamendi will be back in 2 GWs, Luiz might be done at Chelsea altogether.

  14. EL_FENOMENO

            Not nailed..?

    6. Haggis
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      I'd say a Burnley def, Jones, Salah, Richa, Kane and two Cityzens

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

        Sane and Sterling maybe?

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

          Aye, I think so. Think we all agree that Sane is the stand out pick right now, with Sterling/Silva not far behind in the long term. And if it's all a lottery, better to go for the cheapest tickets.

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

            Yup, sometimes just one of them plays and then I will make sure to have RLC to come in

  17. JONALDINHO
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    What happened with Luiz- Should i sell him? Have Otamendi too

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

      kane, salah, elliot for rotation, burnley defender, city attacker, jones then i think everyone else is personal choice

  18. A19
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Best replacement for Eriksen? I have 10.6 itb
    A) Hazard (need to do it tomorrow before Eriksen's drop)
    B) Silva
    C) Mahrez
    D) KDB

    Rest of my mids are Salah Sane Gross and RLC
    Kane Kaku Tammy up top

    Thanks guys

    1. Pep Roulette
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      I would say KDB, but you've already got Sane! So you have City cover!

      Go with Hazard! Good fixtures coming up!

      1. A19

    Vardy owners, you keeping or selling? Who are you going for?

    Vardy-Kane-Aguero here. Could go for Tammy or upgrade to Morata with another transfer.

    1. ooooo
      • 6 Years

      Selling

    2. Junior ⚽
      • 8 Years

      Selling.

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

      Thinking Morata but needs -4 to do Davies to Duffy

    4. The Overthinker
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Morata looks great

    5. I Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      No idea. Not convinced by any of the budget strikers and would need a hit to upgrade. He also plays an awful West Ham team in GW13.

  20. Pep Roulette
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    David Luiz,Elliot & Moting to Moreno/Daniels, Courtois, RLC! For -8

    This will give me money for GW13 to do Cedric to Vertonghen

    Yaay or naay?

    Hazard, Sterling, Richarlison (Carroll, Romeu)
    Kane, Aguero, Vardy

    1.0 in bank

    Would like to switch to 4-4-2 and do Carroll —> Salah

    Best way to free up funds? Thinking Vardy -> Ayew and downgrade one of Otamendi/Davies?

  22. Haggis

      Both long term. But Davies should probably be the first to go as not nailed

        Sensible advice. However, my gut tells me it's better to risk a Bavies 1 point cameo (and wait for his inevitable haul) than to cash in on Cedric's seemingly steady 2's.

          3pts in the last 4GW plus it looks like Poch will play Davies in the hard games and Rose in the easy games for the moment.. not good in a FPL point of view

    kane +kun owners, who are u selling to get kaku? (if u are getting him)

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

      Kun.

    2. TheAdder
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Neither, keeping both and not getting Rom.

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

      Keeping kane + Kun.

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

    RMT from gw14(15) and onwards

    Elliot (Courtois)
    Jones Gomez Naughton Duffy Mee (planing to rotate gomez and naughton with duffy and mee)
    Alli Salah Richarlison RLC Caroll (last two are nothing but fodder)
    Kane Aguero Morata

    Thoughts? What would you change?

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 6 months ago

      Downgrade alli and upgrade Naughton to azpi

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

        DG alli to who? Could have sterling instead but would not leave me enough funds for azpi

      Courtois's an expense you can save money on. Get Pope.

      The you can look to get Azpi in potentially as the best Chelsea defensive option.

    I don't know what is going on with Alonso this season, it's like Bakayoko stole his mojo.

      One season wonder

    Current team:
    De Gea (Elliot)
    Azpilicueta Stones Jones Ward Moreno
    Salah Sterling (Fellaini, Loftus-Cheek, Carroll)
    Kane Aguero Morata

    Thinking of De Gea+Fellaini>Speroni+Richarlison. What do you guys think?

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

      Nah as it involves losing DeGea.
      Send Stones out to fodder go 433 and get Rich in.
      Would that work?

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        Would work but I really find it hard to lose Stones with City's fixtures. Feeling I have coverage for MUN CS with Jones...but yeah De Gea is a solid pick, makes tons of saves even when no CS. Tough one.

    Asensio goal
    Commentator says if the defender got his head on it his head would have left the stadium.
