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.

    Barca in Blue, we looked to ridicule you last season Pep , we were wrong

    Christensen making some terrible mistakes as of late.

      Right. His poor clearance was the initial problem, and Alonso failed to cover bilva as well to compound the defensive lapse.

        Yes Alonso also at fault. Christensen had that loose pass v Barca also. Cahill surely due another chance soon.

    Biggest meltdown of the season next Saturday at half 4 when Emerson is named at LWB vs Palace?

  7. El-Kloppico

    Why is Hazard imitating Morata up front?

  8. FC Hakkebøf

    It feels like Conte has already given up and accepted a small defeat before the game started with this gameplan

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

      Strategy lol

      1. FC Hakkebøf

        😀

    Gundogan frustrates me, he is scoring and assisting in all other competitions but PL.
    I know he is very cheap but still.

      THISSSSSSSSSSSSSS

    2. Ghost Gooner
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      He is the cdm in place of Fernandinho instead of his usual cm

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

      Not really what you expected.. he wouldnt even start had Fernandinho not been injured

  10. Rainer

    3 - Bernardo Silva (29)
    2 - David Silva, Laporte (28)

    Otamendi (27)

    1. Point-one short
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Otamendi needs to get himself booked.

    2. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Otamendi has been better than Laporte. Making tactical fouls etc.

  11. GreenArrows

    Duffy third on my bench....doh!! 1 point Quaner coming on instead 🙁

    What is the general thinking with Sterling for those of us that have a lot of value locked in on him? I bought him at £7.9. Will he play vs Stoke or is it time to say goodbye and thanks for the good times?

    1. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Keeping till midweek to see him on the bench for CL then keep for stoke ..

      1. The Royal Robin
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        I'm wondering if there is more to his injury than we initially knew of?

        1. OldBenKenobi
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          Rumours of a falling out but nothing substantial tbh

          1. The Royal Robin
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 3 months ago

            Oh Raheem. With Pep or with fellow players?

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

        This

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

      I can take 1 more price drop then need to decide. Hoping I can see the midweek game before then so I can decide to keep or not.

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

        Priced out of your plan otherwise?

    3. Point-one short
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Sold this week. Uncertain starter I think as soon as city have the league won. Think there's better options around the 8.3 you'll get for him.

    4. Ghost Gooner
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Sell for Sane if you don't plan to get him back.

      1. The Royal Robin
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 3 months ago

        I've already played my FT. Don't suppose Sterling > Sane is worth a hit, or is it?

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

          Already :o?

        2. Ghost Gooner
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 3 months ago

          Only if Sterling is ruled out for Stoke

    Everton fans ....is Keane nailed to start these next few weeks....worried about Coleman and Baines fitness but Williams sending off must be good for Keane ???

    This is a training match for City.

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      They've been training a lot these weeks.. Against ARS twice.

  15. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Duffy + Gudmundsson coming in for Gomez and Sterling finally some bench luck

  16. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Not sure if hazard has bothered to even start jogging in this game

    1. Je suis le chat
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Is Neville commentating?

    2. El-Kloppico
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Salary banked.. why bother!

  17. Fred54

    6 years, 3 months ago

    Worst part of this match is explaining to my missus which one of the blue teams I want to do what.

    1. Je suis le chat
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      Her team is probably ahead of yours. My wife beat me 2 years without really knowing any of the players.

  18. Henning
    • 9 Years

    D. Silva /B. Silva. In for De Bruyne to free up some money?"

  19. Top Lad Dakes.

    gundogan being an actual donkey in the PL, stop getting booked and bloody score you loon

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

      He's filling in for Fernandinho in a defensive role, what do you expect?

  20. liiusions
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Performances like this is why Hazard will leave in the summer

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

      He is part of the bad performance though

  21. Top Lad Dakes.
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    CS needs to be wiped and then gundo needs to score/assist

  22. Sailboats
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    Just blow the whistle now ref. This is a pointless game.

  23. markmcr
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 3 months ago

    This is absolutely dire as a Chelsea fan

    1. Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 3 months ago

  24. FPL Maldini
