Dugout Discussion – Man United vs Chelsea

Sunday’s Premier League action is completed by a potentially tumultuous clash at Old Trafford as Manchester United host champions Chelsea.

Inevitably the head-to-head between Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte will hog the media spotlight but the interest of Fantasy managers is likely to lie elsewhere.

David De Gea is the top owned asset on show – he remains part of 43.2% of squads with his managers hoping that the Spaniard can help his side to a sixteenth clean sheet of the season. He’s kept three successive shut-outs at Old Trafford.

But Chelsea have the weaponry to breach Mourinho’s rearguard.

Both Eden Hazard and Willian arrive in superb form, though the pair are relative differentials, owned by 7.9% and 7.5% respectively.

Hazard has six goals in his last six Gameweeks while Willian arrives having scored in an impressive midweek showing against Barcelona. The Brazilian has two goals and three assists in his last two Premier League starts.

That pair will flank Alvaro Morata who earns a recall and first start since Gameweek 23.

Marcos Alonso remains a far more popular Blues asset, though he has lost over 364,000 owners over the last two Gameweeks heading into this afternoon’s encounter. However, the wing-back is still part of 1.1 million squads.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    What happened to Nacho?

      Played his usual 25 minutes

      Sore back.

      The commentator who supports United reckons he hurt it when diving in the box earlier.

        ohh yes... forgot about that, thanks

    Definitely more than a hint of a foul from Kun there.

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Little nudge is all. Mustafi has to do better.

      1. tm245
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Agree with this - has to understand the situation.

      2. Rik Waller
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Yeh but Mustafi being crap doesn't negate the foul. Eyes not on the ball by Kun. Tough one, though.

        1. Epic Fail
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          Not tough at all. Wasn't close to being a foul.

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

          Its not a foul for me, thats the key part.

          1. Rik Waller
            • 6 Years
            6 years, 2 months ago

            Yeh I probably agree. Just don't think it's as clear as Nev is saying.

            1. Rainer
              • 7 Years
              6 years, 2 months ago

              Well if someone has an agenda then everything changes 😉

    3. FPL Blow-In
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      I think it was the correct decision not to award the foul. Terrible from Mustafi

    Why is Mkhitaryan not playing??

      No change in my score

  9. Rik Waller

    That was vintage Kompany

  10. Rainer

    Kompany caught Auba 😮

  11. Dr. DOOM
    • 6 Years

    So Sterling potentially out for next game? Got Lingard first bench.

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Seems a possibility

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

      Looking like it.

    3. LǝgleSs e|even

      Still unclear

    Such a jammy bap for Hazzo. Owners hiding under the bed because they feel so filthy.

    Aguero actively targeting Ospina with chipped shots here.

    1. Somalion
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      He knows what it's like to be a little man

  14. Grounderz
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    The way I see it, Pep did not want to risk Sterling. Good chance that he may start this Thursday instead, despite recent reports he may be fit.

    1. MTPockets
        6 years, 2 months ago

        None of us have a clue.

    2. Chucky
      • 10 Years

      Hazard Sold for Mane...Thanks for the 48 points in the last 5 GWs 😀 😉

      1. Jafooli
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Crikey, that’s 48pts I’l never see again....

        Well and truly

        In what way

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

          Took a sore one from behind

      Wilshere doing his best Alli impression

      1. Zilla
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Lingard might start over them in the WC at this rate

        1. Differentiator
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          wildcard?

          1. Zilla
            • 6 Years
            6 years, 2 months ago

            world cup

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

          Maybe on a Fifa World Cup.

          1. Les Bleus
            • 12 Years
            6 years, 2 months ago

            What else is the World Cup? 😉

    6. Differentiator
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Bloody hell, clear foul on Wilshere from Fernandinho. How has he not been sent off?

      1. MTPockets
          6 years, 2 months ago

          Wilshere being drama queeny.

      2. arndff_

        Is Monreal injured?

        1. Forza Papac
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          He went off injured. Don't know the extent of the injury, didn't look serious though.

      3. Fred54
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Kun with that sexy limp.

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

        I won't be fielding 11 again then

        Jones Gomez and Monreal

      5. Rainer
        • 7 Years

        The Kun limp 😎

      6. WVA
        • 7 Years

        What injury did Monreal go off with?

        • 13 Years

        Is Aguero limping or does he just think he's some sort of bad man.

        1. LǝgleSs e|even
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          Elbows man. Those elbows

        2. DA Minnion (Former great)
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          He's a bad hombre.

        3. Les Bleus
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          I’d be worried if he weren’t limping tbh

        4. Rash
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          He does that almost every game

      8. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Sterling out hopefully
        Maribappa in.

      9. Deulofail
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Speroni > Fabianski (-4) to bench Hennessey for GW 28-30, so far 7 points down 🙁

        1. Pep's Money Laundry
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          Just play Hennessey

          1. Deulofail
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 2 months ago

            And bench Fabianski? Why?

      10. the snazzy viking
        • 7 Years

        Early thoughts for who you're going to triple captain this season?

        1. Mysterion
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          Mouthbreather

        2. Top Lad Dakes.
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          kane or mo

        3. Rainer
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          Kane in GW37 vs wba & bri... if Spurs make the semi finals.

        4. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          Lukaku

        5. LǝgleSs e|even
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          StephCurry

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

          Altho form would suggest otherwise Sanchez has been brilliant in double game weeks last few seasons.. hoping some form appears soon

          1. Les Bleus
            • 12 Years
            6 years, 2 months ago

            Wouldn’t go anywhere near transferring him let alone triple captaining him.

            1. Rash
              • 6 Years
              6 years, 2 months ago

              Agreed on current form.. last 2 seasons though he was great for me.. maybe comes under that "nostalgic" pick

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

          Kane probably

        8. justlikehoney
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          Kane in a double GW looks the obvious one, otherwise maybe Aguero, Sterling or De Bruyne in a City DGW.

        9. We Will Klopp you
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          Kane 37

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

        Fair play to Pep for sticking his two fingers up at the FA and wearing his yellow ribbon.

        1. Rainer
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

        2. Deulofail

          What kind of repercussions could there be?

          1. Rainer
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 2 months ago

            Another fine. Touchline ban maybe.

            1. Deulofail
              • 8 Years
              6 years, 2 months ago

              Wow such guts he has to defy Fifa 😆

              With the scale of fines fifa dish out, the rich can afford to have principles
