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.

    Lads, few questions.
    Would you rather:
    A)Kosc + Walker
    B)Kosc + Alonso
    C)Walker + Alonso

    And from Chelsea, would you rather have Costa or Hazard?

    1. Kante Be Bothered
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      C Hazard

  6. fedolefan

    For all the Lukaku season keeper posts this week, now's your biggest test.

    1. Slippy
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      yep.

    2. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      If this is the biggest test we'll face all season then he's gonna do pretty well.

    3. Kante Be Bothered
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Aguero-> Lukaku??

    4. Super PVA - Small Spuds
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Why? Got every player I need!

  7. Brian (Not the Messiah)
    • 16 Years

  8. Zizou
    • 16 Years

    Heaton jaku
    Kosc evans amat holebas shawcross

  9. EmreCan Hustle
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    How many assists has Matic got this season?

    1. KingNidge
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      6

      1. EmreCan Hustle
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        He'll probably keep this up too if Chelsea play like this.

  10. Shultan
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    I was so close to captaining Costa after the trolling about kun not starting! Really wish I'd gone through with it!

  11. Chucky
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Already have Haz and Costa.Who should be my 3rd Chelsea player?
    Matic,pedro or Alonso

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Alonso obv

    2. fedolefan
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      1. The Scholes School

    3. Flynniesta

      9 years, 1 month ago

      Easily Alonso

    4. BB-8
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

    5. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Depends on your team. Would say Alonso.

    6. Flynniesta
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Easily Pedro

    7. Tomlette Greggs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Alonso

    8. Chucky

    9. Mark-O
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Attack: Alonso
      Bonus: Azpilicueta
      Punt: Luiz

  12. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Triple Chelsea needed

    1. The 12th Man
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Thinking of bringing in Alonso,Hazard and Moses this week

  13. Flynniesta
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Was tinkering with a Lovren & Ozil hit for Alonso & Hazard. Now looking at my forward line. Need to move away from the Barclays site

  14. Stats Don\'t Lie
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Pedro an interesting cheap hazard alternative.

    1. Kante Be Bothered
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      He cant score tho

  15. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    I feel like crying right now.

  16. Sauzée
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    King Romelu goal coming second half.

    1. Kante Be Bothered
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

  17. Make United Great Again
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Now I really need Costa. Ohh ffs.

    1. Le _ Professeur
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Very frustrating >_

  18. Lawrø
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Just seen the score. Got Alonso in on a 4pt hit 😎

    1. Flynniesta
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Let me know your next moves please.

  19. justmatt
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    6 Assists in 11 for Matic. Only 5m. Worth Considering mayb...

  20. JD @JDCochran2
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Gundogan or Firming would give me an extra 3 million in the bank and could change Benteke to Costa

    My team currently is

    Pickford/Jak

    Smith/Walker/Azpi/Kos/Amat

    Hazard/Coutinho/Sanchez/Firmino/Bolasie

    Benteke/Lukaku/Crouch

  21. Chucky
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Costa u twerp

  22. Slippy
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    walker -> alonso?

    1. Mata-Is-The-Juan
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I'm honestly looking at Kos > Alonso. I'll keep an eye on prices but he's got no international call up and I can see this Chelsea side at least keeping City & Spurs from scoring loads. No point waiting for GW15. Pulling the trigger after the break.

  23. Stats Don\'t Lie
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Costa almost...

  24. Syd.
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    I have had Costa since GW 1

    πŸ™‚

  25. tm245

    Chelsea will pull a Leicester and win the league at this rate.

    1. Super PVA - Small Spuds
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Hardly the same!

  26. Mata-Is-The-Juan
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Matic > Gündoğan

  27. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Diegooo mannnnn u gotta score that

  28. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Everton are abysmal

  29. Wilshere Knowledge
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Sold Costa for 9.7m a few weeks ago. Too painful to buy him back at 10.4. πŸ™

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Why sell him?

      1. Wilshere Knowledge
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Was on 3yc with Arsenal, Leicester, United, Saints and Everton in the 6 fixtures. Sold for Kun.

        1. Super PVA - Small Spuds
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Silly

          1. Wilshere Knowledge
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            I'm probably still up on points having captained Kun twice for 58 points.

  30. sully29
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    That Costa yellow has been a while in coming.

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yep.

    2. Sandy Ravage
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      That'll be 4 goals, 2 assists, 7 bps totalling 38 points (and counting) since Costa's 4th YC. Are we still holding out for the suspension?
