A Belgian duo light up Sunday’s pair of fixtures as Romelu Lukaku grabs his customary goal against West Ham, before Eden Hazard nets for the third successive Gameweek as Chelsea see off Southampton at St Mary’s.

On the Rise

Eden Hazard
There is no doubt that Chelsea’s move to 3-4-3 has handed Hazard the freedom to flourish.

Afforded licence to drift centrally when the Blues are in possession, the revived Belgian scored for the third consecutive league outing, bagging a goal and an assist in the 2-0 triumph.

After peaking at 10.3 in Gameweek 5, he has dropped to 9.8 in recent weeks, yet an explosive return to form – having notched against Leicester City and Manchester United – could now trigger a transfer scramble.

Sunday’s 14-point haul was Hazard’s highest of the season and takes him to just seven points off the top of the FPL midfield standings.

Romelu Lukaku
Second only to Liverpool’s Philippe Coutinho for acquisitions ahead of Gameweek 10, Lukaku was also the most-captained player by the top 100 FPL managers.

The Everton striker justified that show of faith with a goal and assist against West Ham and is now the top scoring FPL forward.

His run of consistent displays under Ronald Koeman shows no sign of abating – Lukaku has served up points in six of the last seven Gameweeks ahead of next weekend’s trip to Chelsea.

Diego Costa
A superb second-half strike at St Mary’s maintained a remarkable run that has harvested FPL points in eight of Costa’s first 10 Gameweeks.

Yet again he kept out of trouble and remains on four yellows – impressively, Costa has been booked in just one of the last six league matches.

Although there’s been a recent clamour for 3-5-2 due to the number of high-scoring midfielders, the Costa, Lukaku and Sergio Aguero front line is becoming increasingly appealing for those prepared to invest big funds up top.

In saying that, Hazard is now only one point behind Costa and 0.5 cheaper.

Yannick Bolasie
After finding the net against Burnley in Gameweek 10, Bolasie is another player to shed his erratic form under Koeman.

An assist for Lukaku’s opener means he has now produced points in five of the previous seven Gameweeks.

Arguably the only guaranteed starter in the Everton attacking midfield three, his assist was the fourth of the season – already bettering last term’s tally of three while at Palace.

For those already holding Lukaku, though, Everton’s upcoming schedule – which hands them encounters with Chelsea, Southampton and Manchester United in the next four – may well deter a double-up.

Victor Moses
Handed a fourth straight start as a right wing-back by Antonio Conte, the Chelsea midfielder provided the assist for Hazard’s opener.

Moses was also amongst the goals in the Gameweek 8 win over Leicester City and seems to have cemented a regular role in the Blues’ 3-4-3 formation.

Priced at just 5.5 in FPL, the Nigerian international offered a decent goal threat throughout Sunday’s clash and, having convinced Conte of his worth, may yet emerge as a viable budget midfield option.

Cesar Azpilicueta & Marcos Alonso
It’s four clean sheets in as many matches for the Blues since the change of tactics.

Again, the Spanish defender’s suitability to the bonus points system prevailed and helped him to a pair of additional points at St Mary’s.

Impressively, Azpilicueta has been awarded bonus points in six of the first 10 Gameweeks and has collected at least one extra point on the five occasions that his side has registered a shut-out.

Sitting in 11% of FPL sides, he’s now climbed to joint-fourth in the defender rankings, level with Arsenal’s Hector Bellerin on 45 points.

Even so, with John Terry looming as a factor on the bench and Kurt Zouma soon to return from injury, it’s not yet clear if Conte will keep faith with his current back-three in the mid-term. Marcos Alonso, at left wing-back, therefore appears to offer a more secure option.

Ross Barkley
Barkley nudged back onto the radar with a finely taken volley for the Toffees’ second.

Unlike his fellow midfielder Bolasie, this was Barkley’s first attacking returns since Gameweek 2, when he earned an assist away to West Brom.

Having dropped to the bench as recently as Gameweek 8, Barkley is unlikely to clamber ahead of Bolasie for those eyeing up the Everton midfield. A price tag of 7.2 to the former Eagles winger’s 6.0 means that Barkley remains peripheral in our thoughts for now.

In Decline

Phil Jagielka
The Everton skipper went into Sunday’s match as their top scoring defender, having started all nine of the opening fixtures.

Dropped to the bench as Ramiro Funes Mori came in alongside Ashley Williams, Jagielka’s absence coincided with the Toffees’ first clean sheet in six Gameweeks.

Funes Mori earned a single bonus point to return seven points and stake a claim for regular inclusion, though the upcoming schedule hardly appears conducive to clean sheets.

Winston Reid
The West Ham skipper toppled off the Suspension Tightrope after earning his fifth yellow card of the season.

Reid had racked up 29 points in the previous three Gameweeks but now sits out the Gameweek 11 home clash with Stoke.

With Spurs, United, Arsenal and Liverpool in the subsequent four, clean sheets may well be in short supply for Slaven Bilic’s side.

        It is an automated system that changes every 24 hours. The fact that the UK time zones change does not affect this cycle.

    6. Sharpe Shuffle

      Cahill from 86%, Hazard from 90% on fplstatistics

        Accuracy has certainly declined in last few weeks

          Less transfers needed than they are predicting.

            • 17 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Definitely think that if the player has dropped below original price it takes a little bit less than predicted to rise again.

              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 17 Years

              Might be some truth in that.

              • 13 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              Yep, they are consistently out by at least 5% on players rising that are below their base value.

    Anyone having issues making transfers?

    I tried to make them for the last 15 minutes but the page would never load? I just got the circle loading in the middle of the screen?

    1. NATSTER
      • 15 Years

      Yes. I tried about 10 minutes before 1:15 and it always returned me to transfer page.

            Definitely an issue with the site, absolutely nothing on my end here.

            Gona cost more points to drop an extra player now ffs.

                Just the FPL transfer page wouldn't load for a good 15 minutes on the FPL end. Cowboys!

        Same here. I'm not sure I wanted to take a hit for Heaton anyway but it's annoying that a glitch occurred at the crucial moment.

    Can anyone compare Gundogan and Sterling in the last few games? So tempted by Gundogan's price.

      Join Fantasyfootballscout.co.uk - heard they have some kind of comparison tool.

  7. Albrightondknight

    Just did Sterling > Cout
    Is it frying pan into the fire or is Cout a changed man who will keep delivering? So bad last few weeks gotta go with the crowd.

  8. Venom Snake

    Can't believe how many people were trying to convince themselves and others that Capoue is good enough to have as fourth mid lol

    1. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Listen to @Doorsa great article on why not to go there and he got slated.

    2. Cevap
      • 15 Years

      Same ones convincing themselves that Allen is a viable 4th

      1. bigbudgie
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        This. Glad I avoided that trap. Had Capoue from the start, benched all his points which was admittedly annoying and then cashed in on him GW6 WC.

        1. Venom Snake
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          I still have Capoue and will most likely keep all season unless there is still any value in him come second WC

        2. Cevap

          Exactly. Good move.

    Ah what! Woke up to do change Sterling > Hazard and now thats 0.2 more expensive!!

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years

      Should have set the alarm earlier.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        At least I dumped Sterling. Haz gotta wait a week.

        1. Kitman
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years

          Think i can still fit in but thats a wounder!

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Actually no i can't.

            Was going to do Sterling, Iwobi and Deeney to Barrow, Chadli and Hazard and now i'm short a few quid

    2. Reedy
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Send an email saying you tried to do it just before 1:15 but it wouldn't go through. You might get away with it tonight 😉

      1. Reedy
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Nah I'm not sure how likely that is but chances are if you had done it wouldn't have gone through, so don't beat yourself up. They've been having site problems tonight.

      2. Kitman
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Do you they will believe me if i said i tired to do -40 worth of transfer and it wouldn't let me?

        1. Reedy
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Maybe. But be careful what you ask for 😉

  10. MOZIL
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Thinking to drop Sanchez for KDB for next two weeks since i have walcott.

    yay or nay?

    1. Cevap
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      No

    2. bigbudgie
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Sanchez is fixture proof.
      Fix the weakest link in your team first. Is Sanchez your weakest link?
      Chase form not fixtures

      1. MOZIL
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        but i dont want to double up with walcott vs spurs/manu though
        also kdb seems to have a good fixture?

    3. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Haha just logged on to ask the same question..

      It's not madness imo if still own Walcott..

      Sanchez (H Spurs international break long haul flight A United)

      KDB (H Mid, A CP)

    4. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      No that was my plan had a rethink.

  11. bigbudgie
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Since beating City 2-0 at home Spurs have gone on a run of three draws scoring only 2 goals, 1-1 away to WBA, 0-0 away to Bournemouth and 1-1 at home to Leicester.

    Is it time to downgrade their ticker rating or is this a temporary dip or just unlucky? I don't sense the explosiveness that was apparent a few weeks ago. I did see the LEI highlights and Janssen had chances but couldn't finish them which at this level is not good enough for a team with lofty aspirations.

    1. Venom Snake
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Kane back could change things

      1. bigbudgie
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        For a team going for top 4/title they should be taking more than three points from wba bou LEI. Don't you think? But yes of course the whole premier league is brutal and if the foot slips slightly from the pedal you fall away quickly.
        Kane could change their fortunes but .... jury's out

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 17 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          They always have trouble with WBA, Bournemouth are great at home and Leicester is starting to find form in the league. Don't rate Janssen.

          1. bigbudgie
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            What do you make of the Arsenal fixture.
            I can see a tight game and Arsenal keeping them out.

            1. TorresMagic™
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 17 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              Low scoring cagey game. Kane to score if he plays. Both will be a bit tired from CL.

  13. NATSTER
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    I got more time to reconsider my transfer options after FPL page kept returning me to transfer page for several times when I tried to make transfers before price change.

    A: Costa + Redmond
    B: Austin + Hazard

    Which one would you pick please?
    I'm leaning to B, but not so sure.

    1. Cheester
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      B for me - PKs is key consideration for me here

      1. NATSTER
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        I feel that a positive factor on B too.

    2. Kante Be Bothered
      • 9 Years

    Early ideas on this lot?

    Pickford Jaku
    Walker Lovren Holebas Evans Amat
    Sanchez Sterling Coutinho Firmino Fletcher
    Aguero Lukaku Deeney

    1 FT, 0.1 in bank

    Deeney seems the obvious out. Don't mind a hit if worthwhile.

    Cheers in advance 🙂

    1. NATSTER
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Deeney -> Austin seems popular.

      Chelsea dominated, but Austin still looked dangerous. He should be a good pick.

      1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Agree with this. Hull and Liverpool next two look good for Austin

    2. MOZIL
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      i think fletcher then sterling is the obvious out

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 17 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Fletcher is bench fodder.

      2. big_cliff
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Why Fletcher? He's bench fodder

    3. Goodnight Kiwi
      • 10 Years

      Deeney to Austin and Jaku to Heaton?

            🙁
            Just Deeney to Austin then. And swapping Sterling soon for money to upgrade a keeper...

    4. Cheeseoid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I think I agree on Deeney leaving. and Charlie Austin is probably the obvious replacement

    5. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights

      Cheers all. Probably won't do anything until Europe games are over.

        Hey TM,
        Sadness here, just saw that I tumbled out of LMS. Not surprised with last week's howler, but saw your grav and thought I'd give a shout.

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 17 Years

          I was sad removing you during the week. 🙁
          Hope all is well.

            Yeah, all good here, just busy life as usual. Hope things are well with you. Always next year, I guess. Had good week this week to bounce back, but gotta be consistent to hang in LMS, that's the whole point.

    What a super Sunday!

    Felt the pinch of Lakaku and Costa's high ownership I guess. 🙁

    I expected it to be fair, but maybe not the drastic change in OR.

    My OR went from 150k to 31k after Saturday's matches, and 31k to

    1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
      • 12 Years

      to ? What

      1. devils advocate

        You hit 100pts Le God right?

        Massive effort! Well done! 😉

            Noice!

            Hopefully Allen comes through for both of us.

            Points from him and a CS for Pieters and I'm hoping to get back around the 60k mark I was at a couple gw's back.

      Lol, accidently posted before finishing.

      .... and 31k to 91k after Sunday's games.

      Still have Allen and Pieters to play so still hope to improve on my 84pts (-8).

      Congrats to all for some massive scores! Great work to everyone. 😉

    3. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Nice well done. You must have passed me on the way going the other direction.

        You don't sound to happy, how'd you do?

  18. -KocH-
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Is moses or gundgoan a good punt? Very cheap

    1. devils advocate
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I don't think either are great picks tbh.

      If pushed I'd rather Moses. Seems more nailed, has a better attacking history and potential, and should get more 3pt CS bonuses to supplement any assists.

      Have you considered Drinkwater? Cheaper, great fixtures coming up, and has points in him.

  19. Piddi
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    This is my team right now, I have 1,4 ITB and 2 FT

    Grant (Pickford)
    Walker Pieters Clyne (Smith, Amat)
    Walcott Firmino Coutinho De Bruyne( Allen)
    Lukaku Deeney Costa

    I'm thinking about doing:
    Deeney & KDB out, Aguero & Redmond in.

    I've been watching the Southampton games and Redmond always seems to have chances so I'll be happy with him in the midfield.
    What I'm not sure about is if having 3 expensive strikers(Costa, Lukaku, Aguero) is too much and if I should invest more in the midfield.

    1. Kitman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Looks smart to me Aguero will outscore KDB and Redmond will at least equal Deeney

      For me, its just missing Sanchez, but Costa should be covering that deficit well

  20. Kitman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Hi all!

    Any ideas what do do with this lot. My morning plan of downgrading Deeney to Barrow and upgrading Sterling to Hazard and Iwobi to Chadli next week is no longer viable 1

    Heaton - Pickford
    Coleman - Fuchs - Lovren - Holebes - Love
    Sanchez - Firmino - Sterling - Allen - Iwobi
    Aguero - Lukaku - Deeney

    0.2 ITB, 2 FTs

    Any ideas! cheers all (legends)

  21. -KocH-
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Walker
    Bellerin
    Holebas
    Kelly
    Amat

    Pick 3 to play gw 11

    1. Kante Be Bothered
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      h k a

      1. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Heard some weird stay like 10 years since 0-0 but still Walker and Bellerin?

        1. Kante Be Bothered
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Yea it hasn't been 0-0 in the derby for a long time. Can see both teams scoring

    2. Kitman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Top 3.

      Unlikely to keep a clean sheet with any of those defenders but top 3 likely to get BPS & attacking returns

  22. Albrightondknight
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Naked truth. I kicked Kun out for this week. Keep or try to get back no matter what?

    1. Sharpe Shuffle
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Can you get him back without a hit? If not, maybe worth waiting to see if he gets injured in the international break

    2. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Get him back asap

    3. Albrightondknight

      Thanks all. Battery died.Done transfer of Sterling to Cout now which leaves options open and still a lot ITB

  23. NATSTER
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Best 4.7 or below DF not from Watford and Bournemouth?

    Evans or Nyom
    Pieters
    Anyone from BUR or HUL
    Their fixtures are getting easier, but not sure if they are capable for CS.

    1. big_cliff
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I'd stay away from Hull completely

      1. NATSTER
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        I see. They almost kept CS against Watford. I feel that might be a good sign.

        1. big_cliff
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          I think that tells us more about Watford's attack than Hull's defence 🙂

          I'd go with a Brom or Stoke def in that price range. Too late to jump on Holebas? I hope it doesn't come back to bite me in the ass

    2. Sharpe Shuffle
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Evans. Their fixtures turn soon and they'll get CS against the lesser sides

      1. NATSTER
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        He's my target. Just wondering if Nyom is nailed on for WBA. He's 0.2m cheaper.

        1. Sharpe Shuffle
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Brunt coming back and Dawson can play right back. Lots of competition

        Easily. You only need to scrape through each week. They have just as much chance of winning as anyone else but it does become harder and will need to up their games at some point.

  26. Phil Dagger ⭐
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    choose

    1) hazard. + firmino + Walcott
    2) Sanchez + lallana. + Walcott
    3) Hazard. + Redmond. + Sanchez

    1. Kitman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      i'd go 3)

      Sanchez and Hazard, come on !!

  27. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Thought on my team for GW 11 2 free transfer and 0.5m itb. scored 72 points this gw quite average.

    GK: Dea

    DEF: Stones, VanDijk, Morgan

    MID: Sanchez, Firmino, Lallana, Redmond

    STR: Benteke, Lukaku, Wilson

    Subs: Valdes, Walcott, Valencia, Williams

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Valencia will need to go. Lallana could be good for an upgrade if you keep Walcott.

      1. Bruno Bruno!!
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        who to replace valencia

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 17 Years

          someone cheaper who rotates well

          1. Bruno Bruno!!
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            leicester and stoke have a good rotation so probably pic a stoke defender

      1-1 or 2-1

      1. Moose™
        • 14 Years

        In a fantasy world, Allen to assist Pieters for a 1-0 scoreline. Auto +20 points.

  29. Sharpe Shuffle
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Just watched the Chelsea highlights. Matic heavily involved in the attacking play and could've easily had a couple of assists. The way Chelsea are going, he's one of the best cheap mids in the game right now

    1. NATSTER
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I hope Allen get me another 0.1m and then welcome Matic.
