Dugout Discussion – Chelsea vs Hull City

Gameweek 22 concludes at Stamford Bridge where leaders Chelsea will bid to extend the gap at the top with another three points against Hull City.

The Diego Costa circus monopolises the pre-match chatter and, with the striker recovered from a “back problem”, he is immediately re-installed to Antonio Conte’s starting line-up to lead the attack.

Costa is backed by 10.5% of Fantasy Premier League managers with the captaincy, while team-mate Eden Hazard earns the support of 7.6%.

The Belgian has returned just a goal and two assists in the last five Gameweeks, causing a good degree of fidgeting among his 33.1% ownership.

However, the omens are good for both Hazard and Costa today.

The latter has scored in all three of his previous Premier League appearances against Hull, while also providing two assists.

Equally, Hazard has scored three and earned an assist in his last four Premier League appearances against the Tigers.

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

    Kingsley losing me 0.1 SV tonight. I have 2 FTs and have the money to do Kingsley -> Baines or Coleman. Everton out of the cup. Will use the other FT after next weekend.

    Get it done?

      Same issue and I reckon it's time to move as well, still got Pickford looking to drop as well but Fosters fine for a few weeks.
      Baines looks the pick.

      Don't waste a FT on Kingsley and 0.1m.

      1. fedolefan

        Mainly meant, don't stress the 0.1m. Not worth it. The move is ok, but you may get other injuries in the FA cup.

    Sanchez Hazard Alli Philips (plus Big Glenn Whelan)
    Ibra Defoe Giroud

    Suggestions on a postcard.
    I can see Haz to Eriksen.
    Also can move on Holebas or one of the strikers (not ibra)

      I wouldnt ditch Bellerin before Watford fixture, surely he will start that match and could easily do better than Baines away to Stoke.

  4. Cojiro

    What combination is better over the next 6?

    A) Hazard, Alli and Brunt

    B) Firmino, Alli and Rose

    RMT has a favourite by 3 points, which I'll reveal at the end

    Which one would you bench here?

    McAuley, Coleman, Alonso, Philips or Lallana?.

    Who is in your opinion the best mid to get for 9.0 or less? Have Alli but 3 spurs already, so Eriksen is not an option.

    Maybe a ManU punt? Pogba ant Mkhi both low ownership and with some potential.

      Firminio

    Kane to Costa?

    1. Cojiro
      • 9 Years

      No

    2. Wild Rover

        Funny?!?!!?!?! Its been on my mind for all week!!! Ive been losing sleep over it!!! I have no Chelsea attack, i could do Kane to Costa and that would allow me to upgrade Stanislas to Alli. I hate this game sometimes.

      Madness. Have you looked at Tottenham's fixtures?

      Do you have Ibra? I'd be more likely to sacrifice him (after Hull) than Kane to get Costa.

      1. Heavy Data
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        I have Ibra and have seen Spurs fixtures, which is why i would be bringing in Alli to still have a Spurs attacking threat. Maybe your all right, but if Kane does nothing and Alli gets 16 points and Costa gets a couple against Liverpools woeful defence im holding you all responsible.

    Chambers has been one of the best transfers for me so far this season (considering his value). Averaged over six ppg in my team.

    Remember last time people sold Hazard for a tricky run of fixtures just after a 3-pointer against Hull? 😉

    Thoughts Hazard and Evans > brunt and Alli?

    Won't have a 3rd defender if I don't swap Evans and hazard isn't worth the tag!
