Dugout Discussion – Chelsea vs Everton

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.

    I see another -8 this week, Alonso, Haz and Costa come here and take my money.

          Firmino plays up top basically

        Bringing Costa in at GW 4 has meant these many points for me:

        GW 4 - 12 pts
        GW 5 - 6 pts
        GW 6 - 1 pt
        GW 7 - 24 pts (captained)
        GW 8 - 9 pts
        GW 9 - 2 pts
        GW 10 - 7 pts
        GW 11 - 8 pts (so far!)

        Life is good.

        Now time to try and find room for Hazard?

        For the next few hours, I've got the exact amount to do:

        A - Smith + Antonio > Morgan + Hazard (-4)
        B - Smith + Austin > McAuley + Lukaku (-4)
        C - Smith + Defoe > McAuley + Costa (-4)

        Feels like the horse has already bolted...

        Conversation with a friend of mine :
        - Is Hazard ever going to stop scoring?
        - Unlikely, since we don't have him. He'll stop scoring when we draft him in.

        This is going to be some season. So many teams hitting good short spells of form.

        Looks like our fantasy fortunes can't rely on season keepers at all.
