The Dugout Discussion – Manchester City vs Chelsea

Gameweek 14 gets up and running this Saturday lunchtime as Manchester City entertain Chelsea at the Etihad.

This sees the two most popular forwards in Fantasy Premier League, Sergio Aguero and Diego Costa, go head-to-head, with the Argentine looking to improve a record that has seen him score just twice in front of his own supporters to date.

He faces a tough task, though, considering that the visitors have conceded once in the last seven rounds of fixtures.

Costa, meanwhile, has scored in all but one of his away appearances and rolls up as the most consistent player in FPL, with returns in 11 of the first 13 Gameweeks.

The top scoring player in FPL, Eden Hazard has toiled on his travels, scoring just one of his seven strikes outside of Stamford Bridge.

Benched away to Burnley last time around, there’s no surprise to see Kevin De Bruyne return to the City first XI as Pep Guardiola looks for the win that would leapfrog the visitors into first.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

      From Beeb

      How long will that see out Sergio Aguero for? A three-match ban is standard for violent conduct, but the prospect of a longer ban looms. Why? Because he was retrospectively banned for elbowing Winston Reid back in September remember.

        Any advice appreciated. I tried to do a transfer at about 7.20. The transfer went through but the player did not come up in my team. I tried to change my team because i wanted to change my captain. It wouldn't let me. It came up with 'site error'. I did all this before the deadline. Has anyone been in this position? I was sitting in the top 3000 before today with a wildcard still in place and a plan for the next few weeks. Because of this site glitch my season will be over and the whole game will be tainted to me. Would just like to know if anyone else has been in this position and been able to do anything about it. I feel I've been cheated. Thanks in advance

            The site wouldn't let me change my team despite it being within the time. The transfer went through but the player didn't come up. I had a free transfer before it. When it redirected back to my team after the transfer was made i no longer had a free transfer and the new player wasn't in my squad. Hope this makes sense
