Dugout Discussion – Man City vs Chelsea

After Brighton claimed a vital win over Arsenal at the Amex Stadium, Sunday’s second and final fixture sees Manchester City entertain Chelsea in the 4pm kick-off.

The league leaders boast two of the top six captain picks for Gameweek 29 in Sergio Aguero (6.8%) and Kevin De Bruyne (2.5%).

Over their last four home matches, Aguero has nine goals and 50 points in Fantasy Premier League (FPL), while De Bruyne has three sets of double-digits and 45 points.

Leroy Sane’s goal and assist at the Emirates on Thursday evening has had a significant impact on the FPL transfer market. The most bought player (235,000+) for Gameweek 29, the German international goes in search of a sixth 10+ points haul in front of his own fans.

Meanwhile, sales of Raheem Sterling look set to escalate as he misses out again. The most sold player in each of the last two Gameweeks, he was transferred out by a hefty 746,000+ during that period.

For the visitors, Eden Hazard arrives on the back of fine recent away output – he’s racked up 40 points in his previous four on the road, thanks to four goals and an assist.

The Belgian looks set to start as a “false 9” today, with Alvaro Morata and Olivier Giroud named among the Chelsea subs.

Both Pedro and Willian start alongside Hazard, with the Brazilian, in particular, boasting fine form. Willian was bought by over 95,000 FPL managers for Gameweek 29, with last week’s opener at Old Trafford taking his tally to four strikes in the last three matches across all competitions.

    GW number 752 where I would have been better off making no transfers.

      Did well this week. Did Alonso and Hazard to Aurier and Eriksen for a -4.

      Alonso + Hazard = 2 + 2 = 4
      Aurier + Eriksen = 7 + 3 - 4 = 6

    Yes, Otamendi CS. So glad I kept him.

    Phew - could have been worse not owning City ...

    As only a Otamendi owner in that game with Alonso benched, that result is just about perfect.

    1. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      He had a goal ruled out though

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

        Aguero was offside, no complaints

    2. ZeBestee

    54 points with DDG and Lingard to go...

    Just imagine if DDG shuts out a crystal palace with a late single goal winner from the Messi Lingard player!!!

    Feels like the golden oldies are coming back (minus Jones)

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

      56 for me with just de Gea.

      Palace are in full relegation scrap mode and a hard side to play against (see Spurs last week), so expecting much from the game.

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

        I imagine it will be like Brighton Vs Arsenal...hope it won't be a similar result...

    I finished on 57.
    My ML rival finished on 75!!!
    I’m a Bournemouth fan, that Mahrez goal has really been a kick in the nuts seeing as he captained him!
    Will 57 be a green arrow? Above average?

    Who to get rid of from my non GW31 players:

    Alonso Otamendi Ogbo
    Sterling Son
    Kane

    1. Norman Conquest
      • 10 Years

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

    Sold Bilva before Arsenal,keeping Raz. Genius move 😆

  22. Viper
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    12 from Otamendi & Gross today. That'll do.

    DDG to go

  23. Brehmeren
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Selling Bilva instead of Sterling 2 gws ago really sums up my fpl season.

    As a Chelsea fan I’m embarrassed. Of course City are a fantastic team but if we are going to set up like that and give them that much respect then we may aswell not have turned up.

    We have been way too focused on the opposition in recent games when in fact we can easily damage teams ourselves.

    That city team had weak links today. No CDM, BTEC left-back and they’ve had way more games than we’ve had.

    Not good enough.
