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.

    Anyone still ignoring Hazard and get him in GW15 after the Spurs and City games?

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

      My plan yes + Alonso

    2. MrMaverick
      • 10 Years

      Ya

    3. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      could be 0.6 more buy then

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

        could get injured also

        1. S.Kuqi
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          He is never injured. Robust guy

            😀 😀

        2. Grand Thibauto
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Never really injured

      2. Pompel
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        This is the crux of the matter

      3. Lyonnais
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        This is it. GW15 is more than a month away.

    4. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
      • 9 Years

      I am waiting and will prob WC then too. Might look at triple Chelsea over Xmas break

    5. Respect My Authoritah
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Only people that didn't watch the game/are insane

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

        I switched off after the 2-0. Couldn't watch it anymore 😆

    6. Grand Thibauto
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I had Pedro as a punt and have 3 Chelsea and I'm yet considering the move with a hit. With Sanchez and Pedro gone for Hazard and Mane.

    7. Karan_G14
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Yup looks like it. Otherwise I'll end up on a -12 this week.

    8. Live Lad
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I will hold.

  2. battystutor
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Tis the season for the kneejerk

  3. Alnair
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    This is just insane. I can't believe people are actually dropping Lukaku (SWA) for Hazard (mid) WITH HITS after what Middlesbrough just did to City hours ago AND with an international break coming up.

  4. S.Kuqi
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Might keep Mata instead of buying Hazard. He could surprise you all 😉

    1. OLEgend
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      lol

    2. Grand Thibauto
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      By not starting?

  5. The Wise Owl
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    I'm spiralling out of control

    1. Defcons are for Kinnear
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Put the hazard lights on

  6. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    When I'm lying on my deathbed and am asked about the one thing I regret in life it will be not bringing in Hazard and Alonso in for a hit in GW11 of the 2016/17 fpl season

    1. M.A.G
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I Prefered Mane/Firmi To Firmi/Haz

  7. Defcons are for Kinnear
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    I think most of you should hold off buying Hazard until at least tomorrow. This will increase his chances for a triple rise

    1. willl
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      He will triple rise no matter what.

    2. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      You think we should miss the first rise.

      1. Defcons are for Kinnear
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Yes

  8. CloudSky
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Need to hear your opinions on best out of this:

    Allen - playing for Stoke, the most forward out of them
    Gundogan - playing for City, but hes a rotational risk with UCL football
    Matić - playing for Chelsea who are on form, a true DM, but getting assist and the cheapest out of them

    1. Respect My Authoritah
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Matic. He's CM, not DM

      1. Respect My Authoritah
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Actually, Allen as you may need triple Chelsea big hitters

      1. Eden Hazardous
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        You said you'll buy him next week but you should have followed your own advice! I know I did 😆

        1. Your Mum's Athletic
          • 14 Years

    4. Defcons are for Kinnear
      • 13 Years

      1. Eden Hazardous

    Would you do
    A) Sanchez->Hazard

    1. Adz87
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

        1. Eden Hazardous
          • 11 Years

  13. MartialMatas
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Lukaku and fletcher to 4.8m forward and hazard?
    would mean my front 7 is Sanchez Walcott Firmino Coutinho Hazard Austin Aguero

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

      Lukaku got Swansea next.

  14. jayzico
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Is there any forward buying for bench fodder for 5.1m?

    1. Jay_
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Barrow of Swansea

    2. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Barrow?

    3. willl
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Keane for Hull

    4. Respect My Authoritah
      • 12 Years

    5. Mini Mane Mo

      Anichebe

    6. Grand Thibauto

    7. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Barrow to tear utd to shreds tomorrow. I have him replacing Sterling.

    8. jayzico
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Many thanks guys. Many thanks. See ya Lukaku

  15. GE
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Williams, Walcott and Firmino -> Friend, Hazard and Pedro for -8 hit?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      No

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

        Better with Firmino and Walcott -> Hazard and Allen?

    2. Respect My Authoritah
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Definitely not

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

        Better with Firmino and Walcott -> Hazard and Allen?

  16. BigAsGiroud_
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    So, 1.1ITB, 1FT
    1)Sterling →→ Payet
    or
    2)Sterling & Foster →→ Hazard & Pickford (-4)

  17. Jay_
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Matic has the same amount of points has Ozil (44). 6 assist, always a good chance of at least 3 points playing with that defence. 5.0m

    1. Hurricane Gilbert
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      When will you play him though?

      1. Jay_
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Similar thinking to Andy below, every week in a 3-5-2 to fund Chelsea D, maybe even go 4-4-2 with double Chelsea D and bench Matic some weeks

    2. Respect My Authoritah
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Waste of a Chelsea spot

      1. Eden Hazardous
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        This

      2. Jay_
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Wow, didn't even think of that! Was all planning double Chelsea D too lol

    3. Z
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Moses at WB would be a better prospect

  18. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Is Vokes worth a shout? Not bad for £6m.

  19. More Tragic
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    60 with 5 to go.

    Should have capt Hazard instead of Costa 🙁

    1. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah, really ruined your week.

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

      lol

    3. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years

      Link?

    4. 50 Shades Oshea
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Well done

    5. Worzel Gummidge
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Give it a rest now. No one likes attention seeking.

  20. andy85wsm
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Got Alonso in this week. Almost certainly getting Hazard next week. Then I think I'll look towards Mustafi to Luiz at some point and double on the defence.

    Only issue is a lot of this relies on keeping Joe Allen 😆

    1. Respect My Authoritah
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I'd back a double up for a hit tbh

      1. andy85wsm
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Mustafi has some nice fixtures coming up though, not sure it's worth a hit at least.

        Lukaku+Hazard is already -4 for me this week

    2. Rolls-Royce
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Well done on Alonso.

  21. 50 Shades Oshea
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    38 with no haz and Costa, easy

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

      Now, that's a team I'm interested in. Who all? KDB and Defoe?

  22. justmatt
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Anyone considering cheaper chelsea assets as cover?

    Matic is only 5m and has 6 assists in11
    Pedro has 2 goals, 4 assists and 5 bonus since changing to 3-4-3. Only 7.1m

    1. Respect My Authoritah
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Not sensible imo

  23. King H
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    How to fit in hazard.

    Pickford
    Walker Pieters Lovren
    Sanchez Firmino Coutinho Chadli
    Aguero Rashford Lukaku

    Jaku Capoue Holebas Amat

    Sanchez and Chadli >>> Hazard and Wally ??

  24. Jaok
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Pick Jaku

    Stones, Lovren, Holebas, Amat, Pieters

    Couthino, Firmino, Hazard, Sanchez, Gundo

    Kun Lukaku (Keane)

    For -8? 😀

  25. Your Mum's Athletic
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Monreal + Firmino (have Coutinho) + Capoue + Deeney ➡ Fuchs + Hazard + De Roon (5th) + Austin -12

    1. Mini Mane Mo
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Who are ur other mids?

      1. Your Mum's Athletic
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Sanchez Coutinho Gundo

        1. Mini Mane Mo
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Could you downgrade Sanchez to Wally instead

    2. Je suis le chat
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Great work on your picks YMA (miss your old grab!). Who's your captain pick for gw 12. I reckon Aguero is the man for away games against muck.

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

    Costa bap gone ....

    1. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Good

  27. Ibracadabra´s Spell
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    I will do Sterling and Ibra to Hazard and Lukaku (if Ibra doesn´t do something this GW) or Bellerín and Payet to Marcos Alonso and Hazard (if Ibra does something good) to join Costa in my team.

    Yes or No?

  28. Hurricane Gilbert
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    First time to brag this season for me: 49 (-4) with 6 to go. Simply Hazard (c) 😎

    1. Je suis le chat
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Well done. Wish I had some gonads, new Haz was a good pick (own and captain). Well at least the chubby little Belgian will rejoin my team tonight for a hit.

  29. ANDER.
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Firmino + Vert + Capoue > Hazard + Evans + Fletcher/4.6

    for -8. Right to pull the trigger?

  30. Rhinos
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Come on fpl towers give Payet his assist back
