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!

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

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

      A) Firmino- sot SUN bou + 4pts

      So Matic? Or Allen?

        Allen.

    • the cromulent one

      Costa yellow right now would be wonderful.

    • SANTACLAUS

      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, 5 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

    • Worzel Gummidge
        9 years, 5 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

          A

          Get rid of sterling

          1. Worzel Gummidge
              9 years, 5 months ago

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

          2. Chucky

            Are you gonna do it immediately to gain increase?

            1. Worzel Gummidge
                9 years, 5 months ago

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

                  • 10 Years
                  9 years, 5 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, 5 months ago

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

            2. Typo
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 5 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

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

                9 years, 5 months ago

                Costa - 6.6 PPG
                Aguero - 6.7 PPG

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

              I hope they didn't listen to this advice

              Lukaku to Costa for a -4?

              Fantasy aside, that was quite the game to watch.

                True

            8. The Count of Monte Cristo
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 5 months ago

              Firmino + Koscielny --> Hazard + Lovren

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

            9. Dimen

              Whats up with Anichebe? Will he keep playing?

                • 13 Years
                9 years, 5 months ago

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

                  • 12 Years
                  9 years, 5 months ago

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

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

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