Having racked up nine goals and 16 assists in his debut season in the Premier League, many had anticipated Eden Hazard to step up another level under the guidance of Jose Mourinho. While he impressed over Chelsea’s pre-season program, the Belgian has stuttered domestically and with five league games done and dusted, Hazard has produced just a single assist so far:

Although Juan Mata has cut a peripheral figure in the Blues first XI and featured just twice in the league, Hazard has started all five of his side’s fixtures and played all but six minutes of the season so far. Despite his security of game time, the midfielder’s faltering form has resulted in a mass exodus across the Fantasy games – indeed, Hazard has shed more owners in the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) game than any other player by a significant margin, with over 590,000 owners parting company.

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

      Forca has the charm of broken English. However much of an ass you or he act he will always have the popular vote. Even if you beat him.

      Confidence is an admirable trait in small, warranted doses. A constant barrage of over confidence based on little to nothing is usually used to hide something. (like a tiny winky or premature baldness).

      It's not enough that he is the scoring defender this season (or in the 7.5 price-range), there has gotta be that gulf of point difference between him and Coleman, and I don't think it amounts to 2.5.

      Almost feels like comparing RVP and Rooney. 🙂

        It will be there. If Baines scored 170pts last season with a misfiring Jelavic under the old system with the conservative moyes, then he will score close to 200pts with Lukaku and Martinez at the helm.

        Nothing wrong with doubling up anyway.

    Facing a major dilemma here boyz and girls. Going mental!! Dropped from 10k to 110k 🙁
    Already used my WC, and did my FT this week, Beneteke -> Rooney

    Now have Walcott, Silva and Chester inj. Was planning to bench Lampard and Barkley this week, now forced to play them both because Silva only due back against Bayern, but screwed if anyone else picks up an injury before the weekend 🙁

    Should I ride it out with 3 inj on my bench and play Barkley even though I have Lukaku and Coleman already, or should I take a 4 point hit and bring in Ozil or Michu for this gw?
