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.

    If you could have any 4 midfielders till Xmas who would they be?

    1. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Sanchez KDB Hazard Firmino

    2. EDEN THE MAN
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      SANCHEZ.HAZARD.DE BRUYNE.COUTINHO

    3. Alnair
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Coutinho, KDB, Sanchez and Hazard.

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

        Your defense must be a pack of little girls or something 😀

        1. Camp No No
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Or he has neither Kun nor Zlatan.

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

            He can probably squeeze one of them in if he took hits to avoid price rises and his other strikers are Wilson/Deeney/Austin.

            Either way it means he lost out on at least 2 of the heavy hitting forwards so it's hardly even worth bragging about.

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

          nope i have clyne and cech holebas and mcauley

      2. Hy liverpool
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        we have similar teams

        1. Hy liverpool
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          i have kdb and you have sanchez

    6. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years

      kdb hazard coutinho firmino

    7. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      KDB, Sanchez , Hazard and someone else.

    8. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Mane, coutinho, hazard, kdb

  3. NestorC
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Kosc to Alonso?

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

      Wait 2 weeks

  4. King H
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 5 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 ?

  5. il Brutto
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    How are feeling about Pedro as an fantasy option?

    1. Art Vandelay
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Great price and form but not nailed, I fear. If nailed he would be a cracking option.

    2. willl
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Moses seems a better option to me.

      1. Parm
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        *Matic

    3. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Very overlooked
      Under 1% ownership
      2g, 4a in 343
      And only 7.1
      Great differential if you cant afford hazard.

  6. KUNingas
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Deeney + Firmino -> Hazard + 4.5 sunderland guy

  7. EDEN THE MAN
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    EVERY1 on this site put me off getting Hazard. 🙁

    His 19 point haul would've gone down a treat.

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

      Strange. I nearly captained him as Gueye was out

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

      if youve no confidence in your own name then you're past help

      1. Dark_Mata
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Haha

    3. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      You make your own decisions only yourself to blame, no one else

    4. dr. Phil
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Think with your head. Own what you decide. Child.

    5. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Make your own decisions, people say alot of things here

      1. EDEN THE MAN
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        I KNOW, I KNOW
        TBH I wasn't completely sold but now I definitely am

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

    Unfortunately, to get the midfield we want, we need to sacrifice somewhere.

    I know Costa and Lukaku are tearing it up, but Kun + both of them is just too expensive. Austin in for one allows Sanchez + Hazard + Liverpool + 1 or 2 heavy defenders

    1. jbenny1107
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Austin over Lukaku

    2. BB-8
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Lukaku goes for me after next gw. Not before Swans though

    3. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Austin is too useless for me.

  9. jbenny1107
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Aguero/Firmino or Costa/KDB? Already have Cout and Hazard.

  10. CloudSky
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Allen, Gundogan or Matić for the 4th mid to allow big hitters?

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

      Gundogan was very involved today

  11. Haz to be Eden- Top scoring…
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    A) Lukaku + Antonio to Hazard + Austin

    B) Firminio + Antonio to Hazard + Allen

    Both for free

    Thanks

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

      A

  12. Klopp For The Kopps 😆
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Sanchez to Hazard for -4 is by far my best move this Season 😀

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

      Wait until tomorrow, maybe not

    2. Alnair
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Sanchez hasn't even played yet 😐

    3. Camp No No
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      If Sanchez scores a hatty tomorrow, it isn't.

      1. Camp No No
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Correction: it can still be, but only in the case that all your transfers so far have backfired badly.

  13. ralfb
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Sterling wilson to hazard and 5.3m player for bench? Anichebe?

  14. King Kohli
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    What a great season this is turning out to be!

    So many title contenders, so many FPL options.

    1. Je suis le chat
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      At this rate it's Chelsea's. Liv,Ars and City to make up the top 4.

  15. sully29
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Or, 3-5-2 with Barrow (and those nice fixtures) as your third striker.

    Would allow Hazard and Sanchez quite comfortably, as long as you're happy with Allen/Gundogan/Matic alongside them.

    1. HurriKane
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Cant stretch to Sam vokes at 6.1 ?

      3 goals in last 4 and decent fixtures upcoming

      1. sully29
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        If I had a wildcard I'd probably be able to go for someone like that but as is....

  16. HurriKane
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Is it essential to own 2 from below ?

    A) Alexis

    B) KDB

    C) Hazard

    1. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Nah. Probably wouldn't hurt though. 😀

    2. Sims
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      No

      I have only heard and I'm doing well

      Firming coutinho lukaku cost aguero too

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

        Hazard *

    3. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      It'll certainly help

  17. creative
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Massive hazard rage transfer done

    1. Rhinos
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      did you decide the burlnley keeper was more important 😛

      1. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        I had already done Deeney-Austin

      2. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Couldn't justify it with it being cup qualification week

  18. Hansel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Best 4.4 or less defender to get? Currently thinking Friend or Nyom. Need the player to play this GW though so leaning towards Nyom. Is he nailed?

  19. ralfb
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Best 3rd striker for bench below 5.3m, anichebe, barrow, anyone else?

    1. Camp No No
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Diomande.

      All are carp, you will never play any, but Diomande is quite nailed on and is by far the cheapest.

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

        Ta

  20. Haz to be Eden- Top scoring…
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Complete masterclass from Chelsea today. Hazard was world class, but my MOTM goes to Pedro today showed how class he can be!

  21. Jay_
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Was Stones on for 3 baps before the Boro goal? Looks like it my current bps 🙁

      1. Jay_

          *by

        • Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          1 or 2 KDB was on for 3

          1. Jay_
              9 years, 5 months ago

              Ah ok, thanks.

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

            3 or 2, don't remember exactly.

          3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            he was on 3 I believe, level with kdb

            it would have been close whether he got 2 or 3 though

          4. kalmoffit
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Stones was fantastic. Shame about the ending.

        • Kaneyonero
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          If the Saints play well I'm guessing Austin will hattrick and redmond comes on for a cameo and grabs a late one for fun. Being realistic.

        • Bruno Bruno!!
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          average score 24 and average score of top 1000 is 29 according to Fantasy football fix

        • Art Vandelay
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Wally + Deeney > Haz + Austin (-4) this week has started nicely, but given the vagaries of FPL could still bite me in the bum.

          Love this game 😆

        • Jonny Sutt
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Foster and Williams to Heaton and Brunt?

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

            Ooo. Yes

            1. Jonny Sutt
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 5 months ago

              Just hope Pulis can keep him in the starting 11 somewhere

        • Zebras
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Is hazard essential yet?

          1. Haz to be Eden- Top scoring…
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Not essential but is playing some unbelieveable footy and looks like scoring every game

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

              Yeah I'm actually thankful for the int break so I don't make any rash decisions n for hopefully some of the Chelsea excitement to quiet down.

              Have been monitoring Alonso for a while now but been put off by his price. Given his midfield role, think I might make the move for next gw

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

          So who will the knee jerk article be about? 😀

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

            Anichebe

          2. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            DeRoon

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

          Azpi or Alonso? (or Brunt + 1m)

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

            Brunt for me

        • JÆKS ⭐
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Sanchez + Smith to Hazard + Alonso (-4) ?

          Thinking Lukaku to Giroud soon to get some Arsenal cover in there

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

            Don't lose Sanchez

          2. Zebras
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Hold. Sanchez still a great asset

            1. JÆKS ⭐
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 5 months ago

              But a better one than Walcott or Giroud for his price?
