Dugout Discussion – Chelsea vs Crystal Palace

Saturday’s matches conclude at Stamford Bridge with champions Chelsea hosting relegation-threatened Crystal Palace.

There is plenty of interest from a Fantasy perspective, with Willian heading into the encounter as the third most signed player ahead of today’s deadline.

He has over 100,000 new owners and boasts three goals and three assists from his last five Gameweek starts, one of which was a 32-minute appearance at Watford.

The Brazilian is now in 11% of Fantasy Premier League squads, which surprisingly dwarfs the 7.6% recorded by team-mate Eden Hazard.

The Belgian will be fancied ahead of this evening’s kick-off, having scored six goals in his last eight Gameweek starts. He has been spared the false nine role, with Antonio Conte opting for Olivier Giroud over Alvaro Morata to lead his attack.

N’Golo Kante returns in the Chelsea midfield, which will doubtless boost their clean sheet prospects. Conte’s backline have kept five shut-outs in their last six Stamford Bridge outings.

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

    Didn’t Andy highlight PVA on the Scoutcast? Another genius moment from him in consecutive weeks.

      Not sure if that is a net gain or not given overall effective ownership of players. Probably a net gain.

    2. Les Bleus
      • 12 Years

      -1 net points

  14. Dont Shoot

    Can I do my "regular" transfer first, and then, after doing aditional transfers, activate the free hit chip? Will my first transfer be reseted for next gw? Or will it "wanish" also as others (those done in "second set")

      no

        Thanks. Thought so, but hoped something else.

    2. Viper

      Free hit resets everything. Your team will go back to what it is right now

    3. Legohair

  17. diesel001

    WBA lose
    Palace lose

    A Stoke loss on Monday would be sweet.

  18. Viper

    15 points from 7

    LOL

    Can't remember a more bleak FPL Saturday

      Ouch...

    2. ZeBestee

      This game can be sh*t at times. I would just forget about it and go do something else.

      19 from 8 after finishing over 5 millionth last week with 30 points utterly sick of it

  19. Epic Fail

    Wolves confirmed whipping boys when they come up.

    About the upcoming FH-card, what tactic are we going with?
    I mean, if we activate the card now the prices on the players will be locked, that means if we got alot of the players that still do have a fixture (Salah etc) then we will miss out on the price surge? On the other hand if we activate last hout then we risk losing value on the other players.

    So, are we activating now or final hour?

      You get your old team back at their new prices. You might be able to gain money by using the chip earlier or later but don't count on it.

  22. Ramboros

    That was a difficult match to watch as a Hazard (C), Giroud and Alonso owners. Fortunately everything else has gone my way this GW.

  23. Monkey Hanger
    • 10 Years

    17 from 7. Beat that?

    1. Viper

      I win. Any challengers? 🙂

      11 from 5?

  24. tm245

    That is three consecutive Saturdays with a pretty low average: 22, 29, 22 for GWs 28-30.

      Some big players to come still

      1. _figu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        none actually 😉

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

        True, but I think lost in all the debate about whether to get in 31ers is that scoring overall is pretty weak right now - Form is hard to find.

        1. _figu
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah. I've done really well past 5 gameweeks with transfers leading up to blank gw. Would've been even better to get rid of Alonso instead of Otamendi but can't have it all. Thought about it but was pretty sure he'd be benched at least once.

    Chelsea win. Alonso and hazard fail. All boxes ticked

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

      At least Hazard didn't blank 😉

      1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Clean sheet banked

    2. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years

      Add Christensen

  26. Robe Wan

    Fml

  27. Aston-villain

    Came here to see the consensus on Alonso....

    1. el polako
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Fading FPL legend.
      Would help if Chelsea had a striker to lead the line.

    2. AzzaroMax99
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      He is sh%t. But the moment I sell him, he will score. 🙁

    3. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      He is shit. Cant wait for Emerson to replace him. Cant cross. No speed. Mostly backpasses when he needs to bomb forward. Just free-kicks and found always wanting defensively vs top teams

    4. Aston-villain
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Thanks chaps. Ive waited weeks to pull the trigger.

  28. LewanGOALski
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Tosun a good punt for next GW?

  29. Regin
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    My highest scorer- Pickford! Total 19 pts.! Terrible!

  30. AzzaroMax99
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    35 (-4) from 8.
    Kane(C), Wilson & Mkhi to go.
