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.

    Haz second on bps after Speroni & Cahill

    1. Mull
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 days ago

      That doesn't make sense.

      1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 5 days ago

        The baps won't stay the same and winning goal will help him

    2. Lord Flashheart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      11 years, 5 days ago

      so third then

    3. Pedram

    6. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
      • 14 Years

      Food for thought

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

      they are on equal though

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

    Has any other team in recent memory won the title while being so defensive is most of their games?

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

      Atletico to a degree, but there are different expectations relative to resources.

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

        True, but yes I can understand it with Athletico. Chelsea have the resources to play expansive, high-scoring football and still clinch the title.

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

          Indeed, and they had the players also, many of which have been sold.

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

        Yeah I enjoy Atletico so much more because they are truly coached up with limited resources.

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

      Well being very attacking didn't work for Liverpool.

      Would be nice to see a balanced team win, but at least Chelsea know how to win.

    3. The Shadow
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 days ago

      Arsenal in 91. Mourinho is the new George Graham.

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

    good decision by hazard, trying to shoot instead of passing to fabs.

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

    almost want a jammy Palace goal here

    1. Mílanista
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 days ago

      Terry OG would be priceless.

  13. Joga Bonito®

    Who's currently on baps?

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

      I was last night

    2. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 days ago

      Cahill , Speroni and Hazard . Terry and Azpi are on 25 one point behind Hazard

    3. Billy Gilmore
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 days ago

      Cahill and Speroni 3, Hazard 1 (barely)

  14. boc610
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 days ago

    I'm glad that they don't coach this kind of football to kids.

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

      Don't Chelsea have an academy....DON DON DOOOOON.

      1. Bobby
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 5 days ago

        Not sure mourinho knows about it if they do.

  15. Captain Shirokov
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 days ago

    So apparently winning leagues and cups and demolishing all or you rivals is considered boring now.

    How petty 😉

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

      The term "the beautiful game" arouses expectations that Chelsea leave unfulfilled..

  16. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 days ago

    Get a yellow Hazard mate

  17. mahone24
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 5 days ago

    Stay off Remy!!!!

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

    Abramovich thinking "If he keeps managing this way, I'm going to have to fire him again."

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

    Triple Chelsea defence next season.

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

      I tried that at the start of this season. Didn't go well

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

      That's £30m of your budget. 😆

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

    Is it really worth winning when you play like this?

    1. CABAYE4
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 days ago

      Absolutely 100% yes.

      Exciting winning > boring winning > exciting losing > boring losing.

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

        Imagine having to actually try to enjoy these games though

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

        Agree 100% with Cabaye

        1. money face bandwagon
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 5 days ago

          people are being sour.

          look at arsenal..they are now contented to win the FA cup

      3. The Shadow
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 5 days ago

        Disagree. With an exciting team you get to watch dozen of good games. When a boring team finally wins, it's not like they let you ride on the parade bus with them.

    2. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 days ago

      Yes

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

      No

    4. money face bandwagon
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 days ago

      just ask arsenal city utd liverpool fans

  21. Punty
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 days ago

    This game is freaking Chelsea in a nutshell.. CPL should've had two penalties for handballs, it's a boring game, it's 1-0, there's 3 DMs on the field at home against CPL..

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

    Abramovic looks like he's about to take a nap

  23. money face bandwagon
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 days ago

    hazard cappers...happy with a 7pts from hazard?

    or rather have aguero(c) now

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

      Would've been better if he scored the penalty but I'll take it I guess.

      1. money face bandwagon
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 5 days ago

        yeah 7pts is an aguero goal+1bps...unless aguero goes mental if not hazard(c) is ok

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

      Meh it's better than nothing

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

      Given the choice, I'd switch. Was close to doing Aguero, but protecting a lead, rather than chasing, so had to go with Hazard.

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

      Aguero. Would've been fine had he not missed the pen.

  24. Moin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 days ago

    CP to score now!

  25. Greenbackbøøg…
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 5 days ago

    Thats all she wrote

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

    why I kept Fabs is beyond me

  27. brianutd-why always we? 20
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 5 days ago

    Cmon hazard one more goal

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

    another corner...

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

    Azpi jumped on 2BP. Nothing for Haz atm
