The final act of a dramatic day is delivered from Stamford Bridge, as Antonio Conte’s Chelsea seek a fifth straight victory and clean sheet from their clash with Everton.

While Chelsea’s defence will be a focus for some Fantasy managers, this is very much a tale of two strikers, with the in-form Diego Costa and Romelu Lukaku colliding.

The Chelsea man is backed with the armband by 8% of FPL managers, while Lukaku claims 4%. The Belgian has returned in six of his last seven Gameweeks and will provide a stern test for Conte’s rejuvenated defence.

Eden Hazard is the other headline act on show – he’s bidding for his fourth successive goal, having attracted more than 148,000 owners heading into the Gameweek – he’s backed by 3% with the captaincy.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    So annoying with this Costa 4 yc situation. Would have gotten him in weeks ago, if not waiting for him to get the ban

  12. Ziro
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Costa looking like he needs some yellow today.

  15. Brap.
    • 9 Years

    Costa and Hazard clash of heads, no lasting injury but both taken off after 15.2 seconds

    1. Brap.
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Errr…I hope. NOT TRUE.

  16. Defcons are for Kinnear
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    This week I wanted to buy Defoe/Clyne. FFS told me to buy Austin/Fuchs. You know what I did right?

  17. HonestBlatter
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Where is Payet assist and Antonio goal? Come on FPL that is wrong now.

    1. zissou
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Should be Whelan og and Antonio assist.

  18. John t penguin
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Costa yellow today means he misses Spain game right?

    1. HVT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Yea.

    2. Defcons are for Kinnear
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah but then he might play for Brazil meaning a late return

      1. John t penguin
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Drat those far away countries should be made to play in colchester

    3. Forza Papac

      1. John t penguin
        • 11 Years

  19. internal error
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Good underlying stats for Stanislas

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      On my watchlist

    2. John t penguin
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Was all over the game according to thommo on sky

  20. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Everton trying to do a middlesbrough

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      No chance without Gueye

    Much respect for Conte and this system. Recognizes that CDMs can actually be creative forces and makes sure the attackers up front aren't fighting for space.

    1. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Conte is a v good maneger imo

      Notices problems and doesn't let his ego dictate decisions. What he sees he acts on it

    2. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      He stole it from Rodgers.

  22. Godot - Fashanu Zealand

    9 years, 5 months ago

    Hopefully that De Roon equaliser will prevent Pep from resting Aguero in future GWs

  23. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Lukaku looks up for it

  24. El-Kloppico
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Lukaku seems up for the fight!
    And make Chelsea fans regret his absence in their rank!

  25. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    I got williams costa and aguero

    So either way a 0-0 or 3-3 will do.

    I like the position im in this game

  26. Defcons are for Kinnear
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Capoue is first sub. Friend second sub. Sterling didn't play

    1. HVT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Same here but with bloody Darren Fletcher!
      🙁

  27. John t penguin
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Was messing about with 3-5-2 and could only get vokes from starting forwards. Oh how I laughed at that thought

    1. Unbowed Unbent N'Golo
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Barrow!

  28. the cromulent one

    Not exactly sure what I'm hoping for here.
    Hazard, Lukaku & Coleman playing...
