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.

      1. Henrzd
        11 years, 6 months ago

        Wish I had him :'(

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

    2. Forza

      11 years, 6 months ago

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

      1. Henrzd
        11 years, 6 months ago

        Seriously pondering that if I can find the cash!

    3. SneakyPete
      11 years, 6 months ago

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

  4. JÆKS ⭐
    11 years, 6 months ago

    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
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Based on?..

      1. JÆKS ⭐
        11 years, 6 months ago

        The way they play...

        1. Davido989
          11 years, 6 months ago

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

          1. JÆKS ⭐
            11 years, 6 months 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
        11 years, 6 months ago

        Who doesn't love an inconsistent team?

    2. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      11 years, 6 months 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. Rhae
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Lol

  5. SW6
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Very optimistic about Silva this afternoon

    1. Davido989
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Same here. Seems to be a differential in my ML

    2. Venom Snake
      11 years, 6 months ago

      I need a haul from him after having Albrighton first sub

  6. DV8R
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    11 years, 6 months ago

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

    1. Kagawa-san-mia
      11 years, 6 months ago

      especially liverpool what where you thinking

      i had one pool

    2. FPLEL
      11 years, 6 months ago

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

  7. TheCurseOfRaheem
    11 years, 6 months ago

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

    1. Birdman77
      11 years, 6 months 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
    11 years, 6 months ago

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

    1. Davido989
      11 years, 6 months ago

    2. Fred54
      11 years, 6 months ago

    3. AIRMILES
      11 years, 6 months ago

      What? Did your keeper play or not?

      1. Efan Ekoku Pops
        11 years, 6 months ago

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

        1. Mr Sarcastic
          11 years, 6 months ago

        2. AIRMILES
          11 years, 6 months ago

          Okay, it was lost on me.

    4. AIRMILES
      11 years, 6 months 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.

  9. leo_messi
    11 years, 6 months ago

    What happened to Guzan yesterday?? Dropped/rotation???

    1. Towsor44
      11 years, 6 months ago

      dropped for that balls up at city

  10. Delhidynamo
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Can't believe Sanogo is an Arsenal player..

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Wenger must play Football Manager. 😆

  11. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    11 years, 6 months ago

  12. FPL Daniel
    11 years, 6 months ago

  13. Piggs Boson
    11 years, 6 months ago

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

    1. SW6
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Same 3, same wish 😀

  14. Optimus.
    11 years, 6 months ago

    No Yaya = Aguero on penos 😎

    1. Optimus.
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Just seen Lampard is starting 🙁

      1. FPLEL
        11 years, 6 months 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, 6 months ago

      Aguero always on penos. Ahead of yaya

    3. Mr Sarcastic
      11 years, 6 months ago

      It works otherway around...

    4. JÆKS ⭐
      11 years, 6 months ago

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

  15. Blue Lion
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Honest question from a Chelsea fan.

    Would you rather win matches or play attractive football?

    1. Wouter
      11 years, 6 months ago

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

      1. Blue Lion
        11 years, 6 months ago

        What about other teams with similar "resources"?

        1. Wouter
          11 years, 6 months 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
      11 years, 6 months ago

      both

      and how did you fly out of the relegation zone?

      1. Blue Lion
        11 years, 6 months ago

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

  16. sminkypinky
    11 years, 6 months ago

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

  17. Norfolk&Chance
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Common lads - Ivan regardless - get a goal!!

  18. FPL Daniel
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Time for Fabs assist Cahill goal

    1. FPL Daniel
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Terrible FK Willian. Why he plays is beyond me

      1. FPLEL
        11 years, 6 months ago

        Because he tracks back, is my guess.

  19. Heydudes13
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Chelsea just live for fouls

  20. Pedram
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Make it two Hazard

  21. Bubz
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Hazard has 0 baps atm

    1. Towsor44
      11 years, 6 months ago

      its changed a moment ago, he's on for 1 now again. Cahill and Speroni on 3

  28. Heydudes13

  29. Mr Sarcastic
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Which one you prefer?

    a) Sterling, Fab -> Ramsey, Sanchez

  30. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    11 years, 6 months ago

    1. BantamPhil
      11 years, 6 months ago
