Dugout Discussion – Chelsea vs Everton

5 November 2016 2599 comments

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 think I am going to do Firmino to Hazard rather than Sanchez to Hazard on Ft.
    Does it look good or should I wait till tomorrow games and then decide ?

  24. Camp No No

    Okay, Chelsea's form is stunning, and Hazard is THE player we all want if we don't already have him.

    Already owned by 22% of teams, his price will certainly be over 10m after the break, so there's an urge to have him as fast as possible.

    But he's also the Chelsea player who will most certainly play full minutes in the internationals, and with his style of play he gets tackled a lot, so there is a very real possibility of injury. So buy now or wait and see he doesn't get injured? Essentially a risk of -4 against 0.3 loss in price.
