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.

    4.5m short of Allen > Hazard.

    1. Declan
      • 16 Years

      🙂

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

      No problem ; Kun -> Dio , gotta be done

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

        Ronnie James?
        Surely he is more expensive than Kun..

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

      It's always those last 4.5m that screws you...

  8. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
    • 9 Years

    WC this team and try to catch Hazard rise before next gameweek?

    Heaton
    Keane / Pieters / Evans
    Firmino / Redmond / Courtinho / Sanchez
    Aguero / Deeney / Lukaku

    Jaku / Capoue / Friend / Kingsley

    Bye Bye Payet, Hello Eden

  10. Typo
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    who would you ditch?

    Straight swap Cout or firm for Hazard.

    Swap Sanchez for Haz and Benteke for Costa -4

    Have no chelsea cover, Front 3 is Deeney Benteke Aguero

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

      Sanchez and Bent in a flash.

    Courtois has made 4 saves in the last 5 games. Conte has this team defending brilliantly

    1. The Fantastic Mr Fox
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I think its them attacking brilliantly. But yes, their defense is better than how Liverpool goes about it

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

        They are defending as a team. Everton havent had a sniff at goal. Hopefully the media build them up now and put the pressure on them

  12. Cocky Spaniel Alves
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    That Everton defense 😀

  13. S.Kuqi
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Won't sell Kun or my 2 Pool mids to fund Hazard move.

    Lukaku or Sanchez needs to go but which one?

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

      Sanchez

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

      Sanchez me thinks - Walcott for Arsenal cover.

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        or possibly Giroud from gw13 onwards

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

      lukaku

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

      Alexis for me

  14. ☻ Jon Snow ☻
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Should i transfer out Firm or Coutinho to make room for Hazard?

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

      Nope

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

    Scary thing is, it could have easily been 8 or even 9 with a bit more luck and clinicality from Costa

    1. The Fantastic Mr Fox
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Dominant games usually are like this. I'm sure the xG stat will tell the real story

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

    Costa has actually been a bit rubbish, terrible pass for the assist and has missed a hatful player of good chances

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

      He's is the premium Charlie Austin

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

      this

    3. _Freddo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Exactly this.

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

    If any of you are feeling sad about your FPL team, just remember Manchester United fans have to vote for their PL goal of the month. They only scored 1 goal in October.

    1. Kuqi Monster
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Nice copy and paste

    2. The Fantastic Mr Fox
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      The vote is for all comps put together. Even the ones chelsea were knocked out of or didn't qualify to

  18. Cocky Spaniel Alves

    Contemplating Carrick to Hazard.

    A) Do it
    B) Keep Carrick

    ?

    1. StalkingDwarf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Tough one. Maybe wait during the break? 😉

    2. Grand Thibauto
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Maybe Fellaini instead?

      1. Cocky Spaniel Alves
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Got him already. But thanks!

  19. Bleach †

    When you're second in the mini-league and leader has Hazard and Costa both...

  20. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Sanchez & Sterling > Hazard & Wally?

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

    Surely A brace + assist each from Walcott and Sanchez tomorrow will make up for this slight mishap ?

  22. aaroncfc
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Best 4.4m midfielder please? Trying to fit Hazard in...

  23. JustPark
    • 10 Years

  24. Konig Luther
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    At least this season there isn't a clear template team. So many variations.

    1. StalkingDwarf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      So much more fun that last season.

  25. _Freddo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Walcott out, Hazard in.

    That's going to be some price swing in these two weeks.

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

      and sterling 2 will lose 0.3 for sure..

  26. Vlad
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    i just wanna die every time hazard scores.. just can't forgive myself selling him.. and i promised myself i wouldn't only if he gets injured... i just brought him back... hope he survives the international break..

    1. Sandy Ravage
      • 10 Years

  27. JustPark
    • 10 Years
