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.

          Yeah. No 1 is a long way ahead though.

              6 years, 6 months ago

              Really liking Jesus tbh. I know people here don't like him, but I think he is a goalscorer and with limited travel for this international break could see him doing some damage prior to Christmas.

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

                Yeah he is a goalscorer. Can always score a goal coming off the bench, but for me as his owner, I am ready to ship him out for maybe aguero or most probably Kane. Not yet convinced with Kane I prefer alli-eriksen combo over one of them and Kane.

                Also I am thinking to go either double up on united or Burnley along with Daniels.

  5. GAMBIT
    • 9 Years

    Eriksen, Kolasinac, Foster > Salah, Azpilicueta, Speroni (-4)

    Would play Speroni (Everton at home) instead of Elliot (United away)

    1. ★Kuntheman★

      All good moves imo

      Must be someone rising. Sane.

    2. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Would median rather that average be a better stats to use anyway.

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

        true...some people really do have horrible gws so average slightly misleading

    FFFix were only off by 13 spots 😮
    Very impressive

  10. Wouter

    Think this might've been my last week in LMS. 🙁 Anyone know what the safety score is?

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

    Am I the only one holding off on Burnley defenders in case Dyche leaves? Would it even make any odds?

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

      I am in the same boat. If there is a change though, it will happen in the break so they have time to find a replacement without any matches being played so as I won't be doing any transfers until the end of the IB then it doesn't affect me.

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

    Kane will deliver in the next game.

    1. Robe Wan

    If you had to choose 1 of following to get in to your squad would it be

    A Azpilicueta

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

      A. Lots of good premium forward options; not so many good premium defender options.

      In an ideal world, both though.

  14. Albrightondknight

    Even though I had a bad week my OR with up from yesterday.
    Must be the fact that I only had 3 yesterday distorting things
    So I will take that 🙂

  15. Pringle

    Eriksen to Salah. Pull the trigger?

    1. Gudjohnsen

      I would

    2. BERGKOP

      Ljungberg was quality. What Walcott should be.

  18. Emiliano Sala
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    Which one?
    A) kane + rooney ---> lukaku + morata
    B)alonso + rooney --> bailly + morata
    *already have jones.

  19. Onana Whatsmyname
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 6 months ago

    I have both Aguero and Jesus currently and tempted to keep them as:

    City likely 3 goals a game
    Either can easily score off the bench
    RLC good sub coming on if one blanks completely
    I have Kane and Salah to rotate the armband
    Some weeks they may both play
    I think their combined score at the end will be higher than Morata and Lukaku as an alternative pair

    Thoughts?

  20. Pep Roulette

    What does everyone think about this David Luiz situation?

    1. Onana Whatsmyname
      • 14 Years

      I think he will be gone in Jan

      1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent

        Either him or Conte.

    I have triple Spurs this week as was against crystal palace.
    I have Salah
    The plan was son -> Coutinho
    Do you think son more nailed on ?
    Are Coutinho & Ericksen playing deeper when all are fit

    So instead Ericksen -> Mane
    Otemendi -> Walker

  22. CFC96

      Jones! There are plenty of clean sheets in the coming fixtures!

  23. aleksios

    Which option is better?
    a) Ritchie,Jesus,Alonso,Kola to Salah Lukaku Mee and Duffy for -8.

    b) Ritchie,Kola and Davies to Salah Dunk and Mee for -4.

    1. Rainer

      Elliot, Jones, Alonso (bias), Salah, Kane.

    Im looking to get in duffy and ben mee.. can we all agree that it is more urgent to get in Mee based on the next fixture?

    1. Need to downgrade one of Bavies and Otamendi - which should it be?

    2. Best 4.6m defender (other than Mee)?

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

      Bavies and Duffy

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

        Davies & Dunk! Both Dunk & Duffy are very similar! Both attract bonus points and both are set piece threat! But Dunk is 0.2 cheaper tha Duffy!

        1. Pep Roulette
          • 6 Years

        • 6 Years
        6 years, 6 months ago

        I would second this.

        Duffy is a good choice, but I would keep an eye on some of the upcoming fixtures. I reckon you need someone who he can rotate with some weeks. As for Davies vs.Otamendi, the Spurs fullback rotation is just too dangerous. You can bench Otamendi next week & he has three plum fixtures afterwards (although he may drop in value a fair bit).
