Dugout Discussion – Chelsea vs Arsenal

Sunday could actually be a “super” one in Gameweek 5. It begins at Stamford Bridge where Chelsea host Arsenal with an array of major Fantasy assets taking to the turf.

Alvaro Morata is perhaps the key attacking option on show. The Spaniard has recorded three goals and two assists – all with his head – since arriving at Chelsea and is supported by 912,000+ owners, with 182,000 (20%) of those backing him with the captaincy.

Alexandre Laczette is in opposition and, surprisingly perhaps, remains well backed in Fantasy terms.

Despite suffering 92,000+ sales heading into Gameweek 5, the French striker is still retained by 600,000 managers and has 141,000 (23%) of those trusting him with their Gameweek captaincy.

Elsewhere, the performances of wing-backs Marcos Alonso and Sead Kolasinac will be closely tracked.

The Chelsea man is owned by 21.2% of FPL managers having picked up another 40,000 new managers ahead of yesterday’s deadline.

Kolasinac’s following is more modest (10.7%) and yet, following his goal in the midweek Champions League tie, he is building momentum ahead of two favourable home fixtures (WBA BHA).

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

      Arsenal looks surprisingly robust... he doesn't look bad but difficult to get through ... does go forward well

    Get Lacazette off he's embarrassing himself out here.

    1. R.C.
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Get Sanchez in

    2. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad

      He looks way off the pace. First touch poor, and always whinging. Complete waste of money

      thanks chaps...that's what I was thinking. Good to have a sense check though!

  8. barracuda

    Laca out for Kun. Don't care about Arsenal's easy run of fixtures...

    1. Ghost Gooner
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Laca needs to be fed chances. Kun a better footballer, I won't own Laca all season

  9. olidooley
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    We now know why Laca was benched against 'Pool

  10. diesel001

    Drinkwater is injured. He will play games rotating with Bakayoko. Fabregas is the one in danger IMO. Although I think he is a good backup for Pedro with Willian backing up Hazard.

  11. Sim Simma

    Welbeck,,,Kola was free there .. PASS it to him

    Hi all! A despite a good team i feel tempted to use my WC to edge things up.

    My team: (2,6 ITB)
    DDG - Elliot
    Bavies - danilo - cedric - hegazi - rangell
    Alli, salah, choupo-moting, RLC, carrol
    Firmino, morata, lukaku.

    Potential WC-team: (0,3 ITB)
    Forster, Elliot
    jones, Lascelles, cedric, hegazi, rangell
    Alli, salah, choupo-moting, RLC, carrol
    Jesus, kane, lukaku.

    Yay or nay?

    1. JONALDINHO
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      No

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

      Hell no. Get rid of Danilo (Kola) and you're fine. Still lot of money ITB.

  15. HoserHut
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Ref doesn't buy anything from morata today

  16. Bolivian Seaman
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Kolasinac is a man mountain, quality player

    1. HoserHut
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Looks real good today. His passing and runs are on point

  17. FDMS All Starz
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    So looking at expensive defenders, players such as walker-mendy-Davies-Moses-kolasinac-Bellerin are all looking very threatening going forward....does Alonso still stand above these options or is he just another player in that list of wing backs?

    1. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Alonso on direct FKs
      And he's really good at it plus Hazard back will give him more spaces to run into

    2. Heavy Data
      • 8 Years

      i to am wonderig this

  18. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Morata is weak, Costa would be bullying that arsenal fefence

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Defence

    2. diesel001
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Disagree. Costa is more physical, but Morata has a bit of guile about him. Plus he is better in the air than Costa.

  19. diesel001
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Morata is a tricky player. And good in the air too. Looks a decent buy.

  20. Fowler23

    Kola almost playing centre forward

  21. Connor's Calling
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Anyone else think Ramsey looks like a good option ahead of Arsenal's good fixtures? Lots of late arrivals into the box etc

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Defo

    2. MTPockets
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Hit the post so on Kane-logic he's essential

      • olidooley
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        He's a good option yes if you have a 7m hole in midfield

      • tisza
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        always done that but rarely converts it into FPL points.

      Mustafi clumsy

    9. FDMS All Starz
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Morata looking very isolated this game, is he player who gets 2-3 good chances per game? is he worth keeping in your team when players like Jesus/Kun/Kane/Lukaku are likely to get more chances due to their domination in games?

      1. Fred54
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Was thinking of doing Morata > Jesus well before this game anyway.
