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.

    Alonso and hazard were next weeks transfers. So frustrating!

    1. Pompel
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      tell me about it ..

    2. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah, they will never ever get points again.

    3. il Brutto
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Chelsea look really good, still plenty of points coming up.

    4. Luis Suarez Ate My Homework
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I was going to bringing him in this week for Blind for -4. Decided against it for whatever reason.

      Dickhead.

    Mourinho should buy Willian. Out of favour at Chelsea and the only player in the PL who likes him.

    1. Kun Tozser
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      He's not out of favour, compassionate leave

  3. il Brutto
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Probably looking to do one of the following for free during the international break. Which option do you prefer?

    A) Firmino, Walcott --> Hazard, Gundogan
    B) Coutinho, Walcott --> Hazard, Gundogan
    C) Lukaku, Walcott --> Costa, Gundogan
    D) Sanchez --> Hazard
    E) None of the above

    1. Live Lad
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      E for sure. A if I'm pushed

    2. justmatt
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I also have Firm, Cout, Wally, Lukaku and Sanchez, waiting to see what happens tomorrow... Hopefully that will make things easier.

      1. il Brutto
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah defo waiting for tomorrow but will need to get either Costa or Hazard in asap I think.

  4. Live Lad
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    No Chelsea cover hurts. I can see many here are panicking. What about:

    Sanchez + Austin to Walcott + Costa?

    1. il Brutto
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      No

      1. Live Lad
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks for saving my transfers!

    2. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Lol

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Terrible idea

  5. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Come on big rom

  6. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    If I did Sanchez (I know, I know) Smith and Amat to Hazard, Brunt and Lovren -8 it would give me five defs with good fixtures and allows bench boost to cover the hits. Is this as mad as it seems?

    1. fedolefan
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Not the time man. Most of us can't think right now.

    2. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Anything with Bruntiesta coming in gets my vote.

      Go ahead!

    3. tm245
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Is that def rotation 8 points better? Sanchez to Hazard a push, so the defenders need to get the points in this swap, imo.

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

      like your moves

    5. The Rock
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I wouldn't WR.

  7. GE
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    I can't think clearly right now - I am crazy to consider
    Aguero and Walcott to Hazard and Costa for a hit?

    My team:
    Heaton
    Williams/Fuchs/Holebas
    Sanchez/Wally/Firm/Cout
    Aguero/Lukaku/Austin

    1. il Brutto
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Yes that's crazy.

  8. sully29
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    People are actually buying Hazard as we speak even though he has another half to get injured before the two week break even starts.

    Seriously, stop. Just stop.

    1. Leaf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Buy buy buy

      It's a run

  9. fedolefan
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Even straight reds for Hazard, Costa, a brace for Lukaku and a goal for Williams will not undo the damage of what I've just witnessed.

    1. Le _ Professeur
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      True

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

    This is the maverivks season. Taking hits and going punty is paying off

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I rose nearly 100k after a -12 a few weeks back

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

        *smh
        That's filthy

    2. Karan_G14
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Surely looks like that.

    3. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Costa, Hazard and Alonso are hardly maverick picks, are they?

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

    Just realised Barkley is playing!
    Com'on Kaku

  12. Butcher
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Planning on

    Zlatan and Sanchez to Hazard and Lukaku. Then the following week Allen to Walcott.

    Which will leave me with a midfield of

    Hazard Coutinho Firmino Walcott..

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

    Chelsea plz win a peno in the 2nd half.. Hazard with penos in his locker is an absolute must have.

    1. Kante Be Bothered
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      already a must have

  14. Pompel
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    My knee is constantly bumping into the desk at a steady rythm:

    Sanchez + Austin + Kosc -> Hazard + Costa + Alonso for 8 point hit

    1. Luis Suarez Ate My Homework
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Hey what do I care.... DO IT!

    2. il Brutto
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      No way.

      1. Pompel
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        I'll be going for a really cool shower before bedtime tonight,

    3. Tomlette Greggs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      exactly my transfers, to a tee - same out, same in. Mine would be for a -4, though. Am pulling the trigger should this half end well.

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

    With no Europe, Costa looks a match for Kun. Imagine what all the extra money could do

    1. Luis Suarez Ate My Homework
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Having them both is pretty sweet too.

      Play two strikers and you can have a sweet ass midfield.

    2. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Imagine Aguero scores a hat-trick while as highly captained as he was today without you owning him.

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

      A partner is better.. I'm feeling good!

  16. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Lol kante owning lukaku there

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Kante handle him

  17. tm245
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Asked earlier, does anyone know if Alonso starts for Spain?

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Not in the squad iirc.

  18. Parm
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Gündoğan & Allen bandwagoners looking in awe at Matić's steady stream of assists.

    1. Luis Suarez Ate My Homework
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      So Parm.. Allen/Gundo > Matic for -4? 😉

    2. Leaf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I'm still stuck with Capoue

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

        High 5

  19. Danstoke82
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Why are people ditching Sanchez and Aguero?

    1. Sandy Ravage
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      to get Costa & Hazard

    2. Karan_G14
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Because Costa & Hazard are having a party!

    3. Kante Be Bothered
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      because Hazard+Costa are outscoring Sanchez+Aguero. Chelsea are also doing it against the big teams

  20. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Question!

    If I buy Hazard/Alonso now and hit wildcard just before next game week starts, will I get their price increases?

    1. Karan_G14
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Yes

  21. Bleach †
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Thoughts on Alexis → Özil to get some funds?

    1. #23
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Walcott

      1. Mini Mane Mo
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        this

    2. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Monitor him tomorrow and see.

    3. Kante Be Bothered
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      alexis to hazard

      1. Bleach †
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        But Arsenals fixtures turn really good soon

        1. Kante Be Bothered
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Same with Chelsea's! Hazard seems to be matching Alexis anyway

  22. devils advocate
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Hazard rose around 10% in the last 15 minutes.

    Madness I tells ya, madness!!!

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

      it's not madness 😉

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

    HAZAAARD

  24. Live Lad
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Calm down non-chelki people. Your key players can match Haz or Costa in the long run. Breathe..

  25. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    OMG hazard.

  26. BrockLanders
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Sterling & Lovren for Hazard & Alonso -4?

    Yay or nay

  27. Waynoo
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    AZAAAAAAAR

  28. tm245
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Immense!

  29. KingNidge
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    LOL

  30. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Wow what a goal

    Hazard is incredible
