Dugout Discussion – Man United vs Chelsea

Sunday’s Premier League action is completed by a potentially tumultuous clash at Old Trafford as Manchester United host champions Chelsea.

Inevitably the head-to-head between Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte will hog the media spotlight but the interest of Fantasy managers is likely to lie elsewhere.

David De Gea is the top owned asset on show – he remains part of 43.2% of squads with his managers hoping that the Spaniard can help his side to a sixteenth clean sheet of the season. He’s kept three successive shut-outs at Old Trafford.

But Chelsea have the weaponry to breach Mourinho’s rearguard.

Both Eden Hazard and Willian arrive in superb form, though the pair are relative differentials, owned by 7.9% and 7.5% respectively.

Hazard has six goals in his last six Gameweeks while Willian arrives having scored in an impressive midweek showing against Barcelona. The Brazilian has two goals and three assists in his last two Premier League starts.

That pair will flank Alvaro Morata who earns a recall and first start since Gameweek 23.

Marcos Alonso remains a far more popular Blues asset, though he has lost over 364,000 owners over the last two Gameweeks heading into this afternoon’s encounter. However, the wing-back is still part of 1.1 million squads.

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

    Wish he was a regular, he'd be in my team in a heartbeat

      No way Willian's getting dropped/rotated with his form right now

    Moses however, is useless

      No footballing brain. Useless when given time to think.

    Moses gets into great positions but makes so many wrong choices. Frustrating.

    Neymar, Firmino, Coutinho, Douglas Costa...Willian knows he has to flourish this spring if he has any chance at getting into that Brazil attack.

    Did people really sell Hazard before that Brighton game?

    1. Chucky

    Morata is so soft. Needs to gain more muscles i reckon..

  17. Differentiator

    Morata is the worst striker in Europe. ZERO holdup play, just falls over. Can't score sitters, just completely useless all over

    1. Cilly Bonnolly

      Worst striker in Europe? Calm down.

    Sorry guys I dropped Man U in it. Sacrificed Wally points for DDG to concede.

  27. FPL Blow-In
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    Lukaku losing the ball wverytine he gets it

    1. Nascimento
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Worst striker in Europe

  28. Zilla
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 2 months ago

    DDG should have saved that

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah a lot of power behind it though. He will be disappointed for sure.

  29. Bubz
    • 10 Years

    Utd surely need to replace Lukaku

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

      Well, they were also interested in Morata...

    2. Bubz

    3. Cilly Bonnolly

      Timing. 😀

    4. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      He was alright in first few games, not sure why its all gone downhill since...maybe the price tag and expectation is weighing heavy on him despite what he publicly says.

    Morata just needs to get back to warming the bench

      Giroud is way better, I’d be starting him every day of the week.
