Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Chelsea vs Manchester United

23 October 2016 2420 comments

Paul

The final fixture of Gameweek 9 sees us pay visit to Stamford Bridge, where Chelsea entertain former manager Jose Mourinho and Man United at 4pm.

The home side have chalked up two straight wins and clean sheets since Antonio Conte switched to a 3-4-3 formation, defeating Hull and Leicester in consecutive Premier League fixtures.

Diego Costa is the Blues’ main threat, having scored or assisted in seven of the Blues’ first eight fixtures.

The Spain international sits just one booking short of a single-match suspension, though it’s worth noting that a caution today would see him sit out the midweek EFL Cup clash with West Ham and free him up to face Southampton in Gameweek 10.

Those who have held onto Zlatan Ibrahimovic will be hoping for signs of a return to form, bearing in mind the Reds then host Burnley next weekend.

The Swede – who is the second most-captained player for Gameweek 9 – has plummeted in price to 11.3 after scoring just one goal in his previous six league outings.

Love the goals! Ownerships:

Cahill 4.6%
Pedro 0.3%
Alonso 0.2%

DDG 40.2%
Bailly 13.6%
Valencia 11.5%
Blind 8.5%
Smalling 1.4%

A DDG own goal would wrap this up nicely!

      40% of all managers, there must be a few who are decent in that almost half of all managers. But yeah, looks like not many in top10k owns him. So maybe a lot of dead teams.

    Martial's ownership has dropped pretty low, and not playing 60 minutes would leave him still to low points. 😀 But maybe an Azpi own goal would be the best.
