The world expects the 2014/15 Premier League champions to be crowned this afternoon, as Chelsea host Crystal Palace at lunchtime, requiring a win to seal the title. Elsewhere, Tottenham Hotspur locks horns with Manchester City in the tea-time kick off as firm underdogs, given that the Sky Blues emerged victorious in seven of their previous eight meetings.

For Fantasy managers, the day is all about the clash of the captaincy candidates, as Eden Hazard and Sergio Aguero go head-to-head: the outcome could well have a significant impact on the Gameweek.

Having drawn successive blanks in the Blues’ double, Hazard will look to end the campaign on a high note when the Eagles pay a visit to Stamford Bridge – the Belgian has scored in his last two home outings. Cesc Fabregas fared slightly better in Gameweek 34, notching his 18th assist of the campaign, while Chelsea’s high-ownership defenders will be favoured to deliver a fourth clean sheet in five.

Spurs will not be relishing the clash with Manuel Pellegrini’s men, considering the North London club have shipped 15 goals in their previous three meetings. A fit and firing Aguero (four goals in three) tops the list of Mauricio Pochettino’s concerns, particularly when the Argentine frontman bagging seven of those 15 goals. Nacer Chadli (two goals in as many matches) is the hosts’ form player, with Harry Kane registering a solitary goal in his last four starts. Kane’s owners will be hoping that his quest for the Golden Boot will inspire an upturn in fortunes today.

    Benteke's returns since beginning of March: 12,13,2,6,17,8,2,13

      1. Henrzd
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 5 days ago

        Wish I had him :'(

        Just impossible to fit him in with Kun/Kane/Giroud

    2. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 days ago

      And for that 2 he probably should have had 6. Kane -> Benteke no brainer!

      1. Henrzd
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 5 days ago

        Seriously pondering that if I can find the cash!

    3. SneakyPete
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 days ago

      Had all those returns but sold before City game for Aguero 🙁

  4. JÆKS ⭐

    I'm not a fan of a particular club but damn this Chelsea,

    If one club deserves the title it should be Arsenal imo

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 days ago

      Based on?..

      1. JÆKS ⭐
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 5 days ago

        The way they play...

        1. Davido989
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 5 days ago

          They play in periods and not over the course of 38 games I think

          1. JÆKS ⭐
            • 11 Years
            11 years, 5 days ago

            I just love their style of playing, if Ramsey and Ozil were fit the entire season they were still in the running for the title I guess

      2. Baa
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 5 days ago

        Who doesn't love an inconsistent team?

    2. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 days ago

      It's a shame Arsenal always have a rough patch. They'd win it easily with another good striker and a bit more luck.

    3. Cousin Greg
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 days ago

      Lol

  5. SW6
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 5 days ago

    Very optimistic about Silva this afternoon

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 days ago

      Same here. Seems to be a differential in my ML

    2. Venom Snake
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 days ago

      I need a haul from him after having Albrighton first sub

  6. DV8R
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 5 days ago

    Tripling up on Chelsea and Liverpool players was a terrible idea... Damn that DGW

    1. Kagawa-san-mia
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 days ago

      especially liverpool what where you thinking

      i had one pool

    2. FPLEL
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 days ago

      If Sterling could finish at all, it would have been partially worth it.

  7. TheCurseOfRaheem
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 5 days ago

    First time I've turned off the game when my captain was playing. Good ol' Chelsea.

    1. Birdman77
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 days ago

      Yep. Ok win it in front of the fans when you can, but at least come out and play football in the last few weeks...will be very interesting to see how they set up in the run home.

  8. Efan Ekoku Pops
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 days ago

    Damn, Aguero, Silva and Kane all start; Myhill stays on my bench 🙁

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 days ago

      dafuq

    2. Fred54

    3. AIRMILES
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 days ago

      What? Did your keeper play or not?

      1. Efan Ekoku Pops
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 5 days ago

        Sorry, it was supposed to be a joke. I'll never try making one again.

        1. Mr Sarcastic
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 5 days ago

        2. AIRMILES
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 5 days ago

          Okay, it was lost on me.

    4. AIRMILES
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 days ago

      He'd only have come on if Krul didn't player for you. I'm in the same boat, as are many Myhill owners.

  10. Delhidynamo
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 5 days ago

    Can't believe Sanogo is an Arsenal player..

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 days ago

      Wenger must play Football Manager. 😆

  11. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

  12. FPL Daniel

  13. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 days ago

    Aguero(C), Silva and Kane. Goal fest please 🙂

    1. SW6
      • 13 Years

      Same 3, same wish 😀

  14. Optimus.
    • 15 Years

    No Yaya = Aguero on penos 😎

    1. Optimus.
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 days ago

      Just seen Lampard is starting 🙁

      1. FPLEL
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 5 days ago

        Aguero is always ahead of Yaya, and will surely be ahead of Lamps what with the golden boot in site. Right?

    2. Ziro Becomes One
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 days ago

      Aguero always on penos. Ahead of yaya

    3. Mr Sarcastic
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 days ago

      It works otherway around...

    4. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 days ago

      Why do people keep saying that? Aguero is ahead of Toure for pens?

  15. Blue Lion
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 days ago

    Honest question from a Chelsea fan.

    Would you rather win matches or play attractive football?

    1. Wouter
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 days ago

      With the resources available at Chelsea, they should be able to do both.

      1. Blue Lion
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 5 days ago

        What about other teams with similar "resources"?

        1. Wouter
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 5 days ago

          At least they try. Bringing on Mikel for Cuadrado when you're leading at home to Crystal Palace just sums up this Chelsea side.

    2. Heels_Over_Head
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 days ago

      both

      and how did you fly out of the relegation zone?

      1. Blue Lion
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 5 days ago

        I sought the help of a team in a similar position. Leicester. 😉

  16. sminkypinky
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 days ago

    Navas not even on the bench? Good. Means I'll get Schlupp in.

  17. Norfolk&Chance
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 days ago

    Common lads - Ivan regardless - get a goal!!

  18. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 5 days ago

    Time for Fabs assist Cahill goal

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 5 days ago

      Terrible FK Willian. Why he plays is beyond me

      1. FPLEL
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 5 days ago

        Because he tracks back, is my guess.

  19. Heydudes13
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 days ago

    Chelsea just live for fouls

  20. Pedram
    • 12 Years

      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 days ago

    2. Heels_Over_Head
      • 12 Years

      1. Heels_Over_Head
        • 12 Years

    Ahh Ivan.

  25. Red Star Toro
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 5 days ago

    Ivan so close, do it again man

  26. Davido989
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 5 days ago

    Ivanovic is that fit bird who only scores for your friend

    1. Heydudes13

  29. Mr Sarcastic
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 5 days ago

    Which one you prefer?

    a) Sterling, Fab -> Ramsey, Sanchez

    b) Sterling, Vardy -> Ramsey, Benteke (Sanchez in gw37)

  30. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 5 days ago

    😆

    1. BantamPhil
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 days ago

      Or Cech, have two goalies

      1. Fred54
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 5 days ago

        Or remove the goals once Chelsea have taken the lead.
