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.

    Everton just got a Chelsea shaped fist right in their bottoms

    Costa capper with Hazard & Alonso.

      If ozil was getting as much assists as matic is right now, we'd call him essential

      And thats coming from

      Brilliant

    No Chelsea is ruining me 🙁

  5. Crouching Tiger

    9 years, 8 months ago

    Rashford & Mane OUT
    Gundogan, Costa IN

    Would you do it?

    1. bakayoko
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Wouldn't transfer out Mane with those fixtures coming up

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

      Not bad but I would wait. A Costa yellow is possible and Mane could score big.

    3. Clump
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I fancy Mane to do well tomorrow.

    4. Tomlette Greggs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I would but Mane's home game vs Sunderland in GW13 preventing me from transferring him out. Thinking of sacrificing Sanchez (for about 3-4 gameweeks) instead.

    5. Chucky
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      matic and costa

    6. Super PVA - Small Spuds

      You have Rashford? United fan by any chance?!

      1. Crouching Tiger
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah. Expected him to do better and been sticking with him, but it's time for him to go.

  6. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years

    Gonna wait til this gw is done before doing anything with my team but chelsea players look essential

  7. SANTACLAUS
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    this is going to end 3-0 isnt it

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Nope look couple of posts down 😉

  8. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    A lukaku goal would be grand!

    #breakthechelseacs

  9. EmreCan Hustle
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Everton are a second half team. This is going to end 3-3.

  10. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Selfish Costa.

  11. Rolls-Royce
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Dammit,

    Now, how to get Costa in.

  12. Luis Suarez Ate My Homework
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    I was going to bring Alonso in for Blind this week, too.

    The one week where taking a hit for a defensive replacement would have actually been worth it.

    Balls.

    1. Luis Suarez Ate My Homework
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      And I just realised I didn't confirm my Aguero captain choice this week.

      As a Tottenham fan, I'm hoping Sanchez gets a hat trick against them.

      I officially think I'm a bigger fan of my FPL team than my PL team.

      Oh dear.

  13. Siva Mohan

    How to buy Costa, Hazard & Alonso without a wildcard?

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Make Roman an offer he can't refuse.

  14. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Koeman being found out

    Awful tactics

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

      Always seems risky trying out a new tatic against a potent side.

    2. Mata-Is-The-Juan
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Or Chelsea actually that good?

  15. Worzel Gummidge
    9 years, 8 months ago

    I love owning Costa. Just can't fit Hazard in just now unless I drop Cout or Firm.

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

      I need to start trusting him with the armband.

    2. Super PVA - Small Spuds
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Exactly same issue. With Walker to Brunt to make it happen. Thoughts?

    3. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Exactly my situation (except I have Mane instead of Cout)

    4. Luis Suarez Ate My Homework
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Ditto. I jumped on him early, too. GW 4 😀

  16. Pirlø's Pen
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Right my priority over the break.

    Getting a Chelsea player.

    That defence looks unbelievable!

  17. COYS Down Under
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    This gw is not going well.

    I hope the NLD blows up 4-4 or something.

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

    Firmino -> Hazard tonight.

    Keep Coutinho as only Liverpool attack. How good / bad is this idea?

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

      Good.

    2. Your Mum's Athletic
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I'm highly likely doing the same

    3. Danstoke82
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Was contemplating but Liverpools fixtures are just too good and you just know that if u dump Firm he will score.

      Their attack is a lottery so I'm keeping both Cout and Firm

    4. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I'm looking to sell Coutinho instead of Firmino

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

        Firmino playing more advance, but everything goes thru Coutinho and he usually has more chances.

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

      Pretty good. Haz should outscore Firmino

  19. makaveli123
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Everton looks even worse than ManUtd did at Stamford Bridge.

  20. Danstoke82
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Lukaku + Chadli > Costa + Gundogan?

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Not gundogan

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

      I'd try to keep Lukaku.

      1. Danstoke82
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Costa is killing my team though

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

          Lukaku is keeping up though at a similar price. Don't forget about the 4 yellows. I just feel like it is too sideways imo.

          1. Danstoke82
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            True I guess. I must find a way of getting Chelsea cover but prob is I'm reluctant to lose either Sanchez or Kun to achieve it

  21. Your Mum's Athletic
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Defoe or Austin?

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

      Charlie

      1. Your Mum's Athletic
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        cheers

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

      Probably Austin.

      1. Your Mum's Athletic
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        grazie

  22. how now brown cow
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    A lukaku consolation would make this Gw bearable.

  23. Sánchez
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Aguero to Costa?

    Seems like an upgrade these days

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Yep, aguero isn't the main man anymore at city. That's obvious by now

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

        How so?

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

          I think he means everything goes through De Bruyne atm and I quite agree.

  24. MrMaverick
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    mixed half for me as an alonso owner but no costa/hazard

    alonso could have had an assist but moses hit post

    COULD have been a HUGE haul from the 1% owned legend

  25. Lyonnais
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    I switched off after the 2-0. Couldn't watch this anymore 🙁
    Season ruining stuff.

    1. fedolefan
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Yep. Written all over it.

  26. COYS Down Under
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Looks like Lallana, Son and Bellerin to Allen, Alonso and Hazard for me

  27. HellasLEAF
    • 17 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    What's the word on Callum Wilson then.

    Good lord. Kept for this good fixture and for what??

    1. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      For nothing evidently

    2. Mini Mane Mo
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Injury during training.

    3. Le _ Professeur
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Very frustrating and on top of that I don't own Chelsea players

  28. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
    • 17 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Don't get folk making transfers right now..I mean at least wait till the game is over. I find it incredible. There are 2 weeks of international to come people. Easy does it

    1. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      High team value is really important this season. No cheap players performing. Need to act early

    2. tm245
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Chelsea players will rise tonight and price some people out.

    3. COYS Down Under
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Beat the price rises I guess.

  29. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    If ozil was getting as much assists as matic is right now, we'd call him essential

    And thats coming from me

  30. Mull
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    I wouldn't be taking any hits to get Alonso with Spurs and Man City in their next 3 games.

    1. COYS Down Under
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Because Spurs and City look great at the moment right?

      1. Mull
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        City still score goals and Spurs are still a very solid team.

    2. tm245
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Mid WBA sandwich those nicely.

      1. Mull
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        I'll be going for him from WBA onwards.
