Versus – Fabregas, Oscar and Hazard, Last Six Gameweeks

Four points clear at the top of the table and eight ahead of defending champions City, Chelsea already look to have a substantial advantage in the title race. Next up for Jose Mourinho’s men is a run of matches which looks poised to bring plenty of Fantasy investment their way – West Brom, Sunderland, Spurs, Newcastle, Hull and Stoke in the upcoming six suggests the league leaders should strengthen their grip at the summit.

When the campaign got underway, it was a two-way battle between Cesc Fabregas and Eden Hazard for our affections, but in recent weeks, Oscar has also thrown his hat in the ring. The Brazilian has now started each of the last six, and having served up three goals, an assist and seven bonus points over that period, has joined Fabregas and Hazard in the top ten of the midfield standings in the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) game. With this in mind, we take a look at the Blues trio’s displays between Gameweeks 6-11, allowing us to assess their current form ahead of such an enticing schedule.

    Hazard clearly the least effective of the three

      How can you look at the GW 6-11 stats and say that? Obvious non hazard owner.

        Least effective because he's not converting stats into points. Lots of players have good stats such as these - Bolasie, NZonzi, etc but they don't have the quality of end product that Fabregas or Di Maria does for example.

          You could say the same of ADM compared to tadic. Both creating plenty of chances but not translating into FPL points. To be fair I wouldn't argue against anyone who chose oscar or fabregas instead. I just refer hazard. He's already won himself 4 pens this season too with his dribbles (drogba took one).

      In the sample period he has not converted stats to points but he has the history to prove that he can which suggests the points will come.

      It's the constant comparison to tadic as the benchmark which had me worried for my tadic > hazard transfer.

      I would do this because it sets your team up for the long run and you will claw back those -8 in a couple of game weeks. Also it protects your TV getting Baines in sooner than later.

      I prefer ADM, although his form may have dipped with the non-diamond formation, he has HUL and STK in his next few fixtures... cannot be ignored. I'm an ADM owner and no chance I'm going to sell! Hazard has been playing fantastically, but poor FPL points-wise.

          I think Hazard hasn't been in the greatest form when watching him play (still had some flashes though). I agree with you though that FPL wise he has still kept the pace so could become a beat in FPL when/if he hits the real world form we've seen in the past

          He lacks consistency, only producing decent FPL points every 2-3 GWs. ADM has produced 58 points in 9 fixtures, with 3 goals and 5 assists, compared with Hazards 56 points, with 3 goals and 2 assists in 11 fixtures.
          The most consistent and reliable CHE mid, FPL points wise, has been Fabregas, who is also cheaper.

      He had some look getting those hauls like that free kick that floated in and a couple of scuffed shots that became assists. He'll continue to get points but hazard has chance to be more explosive I feel.

          Tbf I don't think he's been as far forward as he was at the start of the season. Since Mou stated his defence wasn't performing he has been far more withdrawn (I even saw him look at Mou and then retreat in one game).

          The goal agaisnt QPR for example happened on one of the occasions Ivan bombed forward.

          If Chelsea can't keep a clean sheet at home against QPR and for 7.3 hasn't had any attacking returns since GW3 then I think the money is better spent elsewhere. Azpi possibly if you want a Chelsea defender imo
