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.

    Why do Arsenal fans claim Bellerin is the fastest player in the league, when he clearly isn't!

    1. Rainer

      They need something to feel good about. Let them have it, at least for today.

      Why does Gary Neville think that losing to Man City this year is the worst thing Wenger has ever done?

      1. Digital-Real
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        It's the manner in which they lost.

      2. diesel001

        Culmunation of crap results

        Because this is a cup final. Even the likes of Wigan and Sheffield will come better prepared than this arsenal team. No spine at all

        True, we’ve all lost against them this year...

    Get Aguero off Pep

    This is why Alexis left. Ars are in a cup final and they are spiritless

    On this viewing I may save my ft and hold off on the Arsenal assets.

      Wouldn't read too much into this. Arsenal are crap away from home and crap agains the rest of the top 6. Time to get Arsenal is when they have a run of non-top 6 opposition at home

    wtf someone in my ML h2h got Lukaku and Murray and I was laughing before GW 🙁

    What an embarrassing club Arsenal are

    1. Nascimento
      • 8 Years

      While I agree, I'd remind you that your team went out to Bristol City 😆

    2. borat

      Yes we are. Think Wenger needs to go no matter what. It's his philosophy which is killing arsenal

  11. diesel001

    Aguero still playing

  12. boc610

    Ramsay and xahka making the kids cry

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

      Ramsey is a poor version of Ljubgberg. Good at making runs off the ball, but don't give him lots of defensive duties and his passing is not that good.

  13. FPL Blow-In

    Aubameyang regretting his move ?

    1. Digital-Real
      • 7 Years

      Not at all. AFC is a retirement village for footballers 😉

    Pep leaving aguero in is a strong sign of confidence he wants to send him imo

  15. Boomerang V

    Pep should have take Kun out for a rest... Not Sane

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

      Sane only returning from injury.

    Jesus has definitely bulked up a bit. Biceps.

    2. Epic Fail

      Just his right bicep for some reason.

        Archery?

  17. boc610

    Kun will be playing Fifa Pro on Thursday evening

  18. Monkey Hanger

    Not a fan of either of these two. But is anyone else getting bored with Gary Neville's anti Arsenal monologue?

    1. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      I thought he was talking about the England team he played in

    2. Old Schoolᴼˢ “disa…
      • 12 Years

      Wish he was on the commentary I am listening to.... he’s not anti Arsenal, just points out how shite they have become...

      1. Monkey Hanger
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        He is loving it.. It's the commentary equivalent of stamping on someone intentionally.

        1. Old Schoolᴼˢ “disa…
          • 12 Years

          Wenger in 😆

    Can't really tell, is Neville enjoying this?

    There's a group of lads warming up their vocal chords outside of Wembley.

    Auba good or Bundesliga overrated?

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

      Not mutually exclusive. Could be that Arsenal are shit.

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

      Bundesliga overrated. As uncompetitive a top league as you can get. As is Ligue Un

  23. Speédy

    OR updated bdw

    I can't be the only one hoping for relevant late Man City injuries to increase Kun's chances of starting the next game.

    Don't give me none of that not wishing injury on players BS.

    1. Old Schoolᴼˢ “disa…
      • 12 Years

      This^

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

      Jesus isn't ready to start and Sterling seems as good as out so Kun will be starting.

    3. Ginkapo FPL
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      It depends on what type of injuries you are asking for. Too often its career ending injuries that are being asked for.

      1. Epic Fail
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years

        Kun just needs to start on Thursday, so a toe stub will do.

        1. Old Schoolᴼˢ “disa…
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          Great minds 😆

      2. Old Schoolᴼˢ “disa…
        • 12 Years

        Just a very slightly injured big toe will do me...

      Pep is a fraud

    5. Wild Rover

      199 Man City goals. He starts 😉

    Wilshere trying to be a hard man. Why doesn't he stay in position and protect his defence rather than getting itchy at Aguero.

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

      Nice of Aguero to try and scratch his itch for him though 🙂

    Is Bellerin going through a sex change?

      You've got long haaaiiir. You look like a giiirrrrl. Grow up.

        Loosen up mate. It's banter

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

          I don't see any banter here. Banter requires two people at least. Bellerin is not on the site atm, he's busy growing his hair #lol #banta

    Kun take it easy. What's up with this outbursts
