Gameweek 8 gets underway at Stamford Bridge as Chelsea entertain defending champions Leicester at lunchtime.

The Blues will be looking to Diego Costa to continue the form that’s served up a goal or assist in six of the first seven Gameweeks and helped him to the top of the FPL forward standings.

Costa remains just one booking shy of a single-match ban, though, with his owners hoping he can remain on the referee’s good side against the Foxes.

Antonio Conte makes just one alteration today, with Willian replaced by Pedro in the front three.

Claudio Ranieri’s men arrive on the back of three straight losses on the road.

Indeed, although they have conceded just once at the King Power, Leicester boast the Premier League’s worst defensive record on the road and have already conceded 10 times in three away outings.

With one eye on the Champions League, the Foxes boss has shifted Riyad Mahrez to the bench in one of three changes, with Islam Slimani and Danny Simpson also dropping out to be replaced by Ahmed Musa, Jeffrey Schlupp and Luis Hernandez.

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

  6. Krul Runnings
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Why would he not sub Costa to avoid the YC?!

    1. Numb
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Costa only gets booked when he wants to

  7. PvA
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Cmon Baines, is that 3 GWs since I bought you and you've decided to stop playing football?

    1. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Well he isn't even on the bench so at least he won't get doing a cameo on us

  12. Numb
    10 years, 23 days ago

    I doubt that Aguero will come on if he's getting rested so as long as you've got a good vice, you're fine

    1. Henryyy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 23 days ago

      10 years, 23 days ago

      If they are trying to win the game with 30 mins to go he will come on imo .

    1. JÆKS ⭐
      10 years, 23 days ago

    2. Ravager
      10 years, 23 days ago

      I never confirmed Sanchez as my vice apparently. Lovely. Have Deeney

  16. Make United Great Again
    10 years, 23 days ago

    No Son either. Great just bloody great.

    1. Numb
      10 years, 23 days ago

      That was widely predicted

      1. Make United Great Again
        10 years, 23 days ago

        Don't care

  17. ElDaddy
    10 years, 23 days ago

    1. Jasoooooooo
      10 years, 23 days ago

      Yep

    2. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 23 days ago

  18. Chucky
    10 years, 23 days ago

    I advised someone to get Moses right before the deadline.Don't know if he got Moses 😀

  19. The Tinkerman
    10 years, 23 days ago

    3.8m rank last week, rage hits and now (C) Aguero on the bench... It gets worse and worse.

    1. PvA
      10 years, 23 days ago

      He might still come on

      1. The Tinkerman
        10 years, 23 days ago

        I'd rather he didn't. I'd rather have Alexis (VC) and McAuley off the bench than a cameo and quite possibly 1pt from my captain

  20. Rake
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Lukaku (c) doesn't look that bad now.

    (aguero owner)

    Hate these International breaks.

  29. Royal5
    10 years, 23 days ago

    Got to get in Sane if you bench Aguero (c)

  30. Twisted Saltergater

    There were plenty people posting that captaining Aguero was a risk. 15000 miles, an injury scare, and Barcelona midweek. Iheanacho already proved himself as an able stand in too.

    GW8 lives up to it's legendary fantasy status again!
