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.

    Imagine Moses and Antonio were listed as defenders

      You have Alonso as a defender. He seems more offensive than Moses tbh.

    So annoyed I didn't go with my gut instinct! Commented on here about getting Pedro as a differential in place of son yesterday!

    Heaton
    Alonso - Bellerin - Walker
    Alexis - KDB - Hazard - Coutinho
    Aguero - Lukaku - Costa

    This G2G? 4m ITB.

    Can only afford

    Sanchez & Evans > Hazard & Alonso -4 if i do it now, would it be unwise ?

    1. Swan - Villa Proud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I wouldn't

      Two weeks for your players to get injured and force you into more hits. Another set of games tomorrow as well.

    For next 3. who'd you prefer ?

    A) Firmino- sot SUN bou + 4pts

    1. Bleach †
      • 10 Years

    1. fedolefan
      • 12 Years

      Nicely done.

    2. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years

      Sterling

    3. Bleach †
      • 10 Years

    This is basically the Walking Dead Season Premiere of football matches. 😀

    Conte - Negan??

    1. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Certainly feeling a lot like Glenn right now.

      1. Chucky

        sshhh no spoilers 😉

      2. Siva Mohan

        many Glenn's here..

  10. ANDER.
    • 11 Years

    Best mid for a 4.6 or less?

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

      De Roon

  11. PvA
    • 9 Years

    -8 done

    Not even Saturday night yet

    RIP 2016/17 FPL season

      Fail

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

    So Matic? Or Allen?

    1. Camp No No
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Allen.

  13. the cromulent one
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Costa yellow right now would be wonderful.

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

    Want to do Firmino > Hazard, Firmino is the most annoying player to own, when you don't have him he scores. Him and his haircut need to get injured to make it easier.

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

      I got Firmino and Mane, but I just cant get rid of them with these fixtures!

      Im doing Lukaku ->Anichebe and Capoue -> Haz

  15. Worzel Gummidge
    9 years, 8 months ago

    With Arsenals next 2 fixtures I am tempted to drop Sanchez for Haz and keep Sterling.

    A) Sanchez to Haz FT
    B) Sterling to Haz and Firm to Gun -4 (have Cout)
    C) Drop Costa to 4.5M, Fletcher to Haz -4 and go 3-5-2

    Leaning towards A.

    1. I Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      A

    2. PvA
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      A

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

      Get rid of sterling

      1. Worzel Gummidge
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Good fixtures and dont fancy dropping Firm or getting in Gun especially for a -4

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

      A

    5. Swan - Villa Proud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      If I do anything I'll be A

    6. Bleach †
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Are you gonna do it immediately to gain increase?

      1. Worzel Gummidge
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Not thought about it but if I do A then yes.

        1. Bleach †
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Okay, Im thinking of same, but Alexis will only have 1 hard game after the transfer, also Alexis tend to do good in hard fixtures... so not sure what to do

          1. Worzel Gummidge
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Yes it's mind numbing. Not really sure what to do tbh

  16. Typo
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    A or B:

    A
    Swap Sanchez for Haz and Benteke for Costa -4

    B
    Swap Sanchez for Haz and Deeney for Lukaku -4

    Have no chelsea cover, Front 3 is Deeney Benteke Aguero

  17. internal error
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Costa has 13 more points than Aguero and is around 3 mil less. How many points per game do they both have?

    1. Clifford☯
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Costa - 6.6 PPG
      Aguero - 6.7 PPG

  18. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Few people were advising on keeping sterling instead of getting hazard this morning

    I hope they didn't listen to this advice

  19. gonzalocampos
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Lukaku to Costa for a -4?

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

      No

  20. M.A.G
    • 10 Years

    I want to kill myself for postponing Mane>Hazard

    1. 50 Shades Oshea
      • 12 Years

      Please don't

    2. darthwader
      • 9 Years

      Same boat. Hope mane hits big tomorrow 🙁

    Fantasy aside, that was quite the game to watch.

    1. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      A true exhibition it pains me to say.

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

      True

  22. The Count of Monte Cristo
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Firmino + Koscielny --> Hazard + Lovren

    Rest of the midfield is Sanchez - Coutinho - Redmond - Allen

  23. Dimen
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Whats up with Anichebe? Will he keep playing?

    1. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Came in for a poor Khazri last week so you'd assume he'd keep his place after this week.

    2. Give The Todd Some Love
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Does it matter?

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

        Yes. Getting him as bench player and doing Capoue -> Hazard

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

    Phew, match done. Bullet dodged.

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

    Five wins in a row without conceding & top of the league. Delightful! 😀

  26. Ayew Holding Mee Cork
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Hazard likely to rise tonight? I was hoping to wait till tomorrow to decide Sanchez->Hazard or Sterling+Capoue->Whelan+Hazard

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

      Definitely rising. Already up to 111 on fpl stats, probably rising very soon.

  27. Sauzée
    • 10 Years

    My soul > Hazard -4 worth it?

  28. Give The Todd Some Love
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Wow 19 points for Hazard, loads more points than I currently have

    Grant, Holebas, Fuchs, Alonso, Firmino, Coutinho, Hazard, De Bruyne, Austin, Aguero, Lukaku (Pickford, Amat, Love, de Roon) time to sit back and watch the price rises during the International week. Already top 50k and rising
