With Eden Hazard flourishing and attracting huge Fantasy investment, Tottenham’s Gareth Bale is already in danger of becoming a forgotten man just a couple of Gameweeks into the season. The Welshman returned double figures for both goals and assists last term and began the season hotly tipped to contest the top position in the midfield rankings. However, already we’re seeing Fantasy managers lose faith, no doubt shifting allegiance to Chelsea’s Belgian.
The arrival of Andre Villas-Boas has, to this point, failed to spark Spurs and Bale has epitomised their slow start to the season. With a hefty price tag around his neck, it’s clear that Fantasy managers cannot sit still on an ailing heavy-hitter but are the doubters right to shed Bale and move on?
In this latest article for members, we examine Bale’s numbers so far, assessing the averages gathered to this point in comparison to last season’s data in attempt to assess how the arrival of Villas-Boas has affected his form and his potential to deliver Fantasy returns.

I am really struggling to see who to drop for hazard if Bale performs well saturday. This coupled with the fact i want HBA too leave me confused. Is it worth getting rid of toure for either of those more explosive players even though he has started so well?
Don't want to totally miss the boat on Hazard but struggling to accomodate him with all the idiots pushing his price up when he has no game this week! Anyone else in the same boat?
