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.

    Since I sold Hazard for a .2 loss he has gone 8, 8, 14, 19. Nice.

      Tough one, but it looks like you have the ability to bounce back.

      Who have you sold recently?

        Townsend and Ibra this week - Townsend in the bonus I see so expect an Ibra brace tomorrow!

          Who are you selling this week?

            9 years, 8 months ago

            Ha! To get Hazard for no hit it would be Ozil (who I sold him for in the first place!)

            May take a hit though and sell someone else. Internationals ahead.

      That grav, is one of my proudest moments ever to be an Englishman. Was only 10, but that whole summer and that all around feel, will never be bettered. That pen and the Gazza goal was unreal.

        This 🙂

        The French squad trained at my high school that year as well which was awesome.

          And when we demolished Holland, I should add 🙂

          Stuart 'psycho' Pearce, when he scored is penalty, in the penalty shootout v Spain in the quarter final of Euro 96

        9 years, 8 months ago

        Yep, still gives me goosebumps now if you watch it on YouTube. I don't think anyone wanted a man to score a penalty more after what happened at Italia '90.

        And then in the next penalty shootout it was more reserved but still a cool reaction.

      Normally top 50K by now

  7. Jonny Sutt
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    I want Brunt in my squad but I'm just trying to second guess where Pulis will play him. He's defo in line to start this week which will be a telling week as if he assists he will nail a starting place for the week after but I'm not sure where he will be played. Left back would be highly unlikely, he may take fletchers position as he's been playing aweful. I suppose the most likely position is Phillips as he hasn't impressed that much since being at the club. Pulis is a big fan of Brunts, I know that much!!!

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

      He's nailed

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

      Why is LB unlikely? I think Olsson is injured

      1. Jonny Sutt
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        He signed by nyom who fan play there, Galloway on loan and Evans can play there. He's also looking at Taylor from Leeds in the January window so I've heard. The fans were on Pulis' back all the time for playing him left back, although I thought he played there pretty well.

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

          Interesting. Cheers, makes my decision a little easier then

    3. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Matters not where he plays, worth getting for set pieces and fixtures

      1. Jonny Sutt
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        I just want to know his position as if it's a competitive position he may be rotated e.g. CM

    4. Heavy Data
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I have read somewhere that he is going to be playing in midfield, even though he is listed as a defender after playing in that position last year. He's also good on set pieces and with a nice little run of fixtures it was easy for me to drop Smith and draft Brunt in.

  8. EDEN THE MAN
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Yes or No. Must B done TONIGHT

    Firmino(Have Coutinho)---Hazard
    Smith(Suspended)---Pieters

    1. Heavy Data
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Do it. Do it now.

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

    Which WBA defender to get? I'm thinking about going "maverivk dullard" and get McCauley for-4 to afford Hazard

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

      Bruntinho

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

        He's tempting

      2. Heavy Data
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        ^^^^^

        This

  10. Knowledgeable meerkat
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Thoughts on

    Chadli > carrick
    Firmino > hazard

    Seems to be the only way to get hazard in without removing Sanchez

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

      Remove sanchez

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

    Walcott & Lukaku => Hazard & Defoe for free?

    Leaves me with

    Heaton (Jaku)
    Stones/McAuley/Holebas (Amat/Smith)
    Alexis/Hazard/Firmino/Coutinho (Capoue)
    Kun/Austin/Defoe

  12. Sims
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Less than 50% of the top 10k own Costa

    I don't get it. He is top scorer

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

      Kun, Lukaku + a good bunch of cheaper options probably a reason why

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

      Anyone having over 50 is very rare

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

      Too busy getting on the aguero and lukaku hype.

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

      Keeps scoring while I'm waiting for his ban.

    5. bojack
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      He's been on 4 YC for ages.

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

        Oh good point...I guess most owners got him before that

  13. hannesdela
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Hazard headache, please help:

    A) 3-5-2
    Sanchez, Hazard, Coutinho, Walcott, Allen
    Aguëro, Austin (Anichebe)

    B) 3-4-3 + 1.9M in the bank
    Hazard, Coutinho, Walcott, Allen (Fletcher)
    Aguëro, Lukaku, Austin

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

      B but get someone better than fletcher?

      1. hannesdela
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        So you'd rather take out Sanchez than Lukaku. My gut feeling says otherwise, so difficult to decide. Anyway, if I would go B, I am not sure I would be using the money to upgrade Fletcher who's not meant to play in my team. Rather upgrade Allen or my defence then..

    2. Saïss Doesn't Mat…
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Rather double up on Liverpool than arsenal if you're going 352

      1. hannesdela
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Hmm yeah, but I have Walcott and Sanchez right now. So can't change that because A means 0.0 in the bank so no money to upgrade Walcott to Firminho for example.

  14. Saïss Doesn't Mat…
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Lol!! So Hazard decides to shyytte on all of us hard headed idiots who were waiting for him to score 6 goals and 3 assists in a game to warrant a transfer in. No problem Haz. You've made your point. Got 2 weeks and the same number of transfers to draft you in.

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

      He hasn't scored 6 and assisted 3 in a game yet. What's the rush?

  15. Jonty Rhodes
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    only have 5 minutes to sleep tongiht. Please someone give me views especially on option 3 with 3 CHANGES tonnight:

    Changes tonight:
    1) Collins and Deeney out for Alonso and Vokes.
    2) Collins and Deeney for Alonso and Anichebe (Gives me room to upgrade Capoue)
    3) Collins, Deeney and Capoue for Alonso, Anichebe and Gundogan
    4) Transfer tomorrow - Will loose Gundogan value again
    5) Any other

    Pickford (Foster)
    Pieters, Collins, Mustafi (Amat, Mc Auley)
    Walcott, Hazard, Mane, Chadli (Capoue)
    Aguero (c), Lukaku, Deeney
    0.7 in bank. 2 FT

      Ok.
      Looking forward to tomorrow.
      Hope Liverpool rip Watford a new one.

      1. Slam
        • 11 Years

        Yep, if they don't I'm going to feel very bad for the next two weeks.

    2. Heavy Data
      • 9 Years

      As long as Redmond gets me a double hatty tomorrow it will be fine. Otherwise its shhhhiiiiiitttteeeee

  18. VFORVANDETA
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    this week team

    Heaton
    Walker Mcauley Stones
    Hazard Sanchez Gundogan Allen Coutinho
    Aguero Lukaku

    Sub-Grant Kingsley William Grabban...

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

    Still don't think he's essential quite yet. Not great away historically then spurs

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

      Spurs look dreadful atm

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

        Conceded one goal from open play all season

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

      But is Sanchez worth the extra?

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

        Dint care I've got both 😛

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

    Lukaku and fletcher to Keane/Anichebe and Hazard?
    would mean my front 7 is:
    Sanchez Walcott Firmino Coutinho Hazard
    Austin Aguero

    1. hannesdela
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Hahah I am thinking about doing exactly the same. Lukaku and Fletcher to Anichebe and Hazard with 2 FTs.

      Only difference is I would have Allen as my 5th mid instead of Firminho so you win on that front. Amazes me how you have the money for such a front 7 wow.

  21. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Sterling to Pedro or Hazard and hits?

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

      Depends on ur other transfers

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

      Pedro is not really cover for Hazard

  22. The Fantastic Mr Fox
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Hazard rising at 19.3%/hour . incredible. Its just Saturday. Before an intl break. The desperation to save 0.1 mil might result in some tears over the break

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

      It almost always does.
      Having a good week so far?

    2. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
      • 14 Years

      By those unable to afford him after the rises 🙂

    3. Cpt Crunch Scott talent

      Well, I'm a cheap mustard

  23. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Keeping lukaku for 2 more games. After Chelsea play spurs and city

    Then its hazard time

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

      Good luck getting hazard at 10.6

      1. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        U really think he'll have that type of game vs city and the best defence in the prem (spurs)??

        Gotta b smart about this

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

      Hazard will have 30pts more and 0.5 more in value by then.

    3. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Hazard is fixture proof buddy.

      1. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        I don't think so

        He fell off a bit this season. Don't forget

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

          Fixture proof =/= returns in every match...

  24. Kiwivillan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Should've done Walcott>Hazard for hit this week. Do I do before price change today for free? Have exact enough otherwise will need hit

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

    Time to sell Gundogan and Allen?

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Yes to Matic and Roon for -8

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

      Those two allow me to get 3 top mids and 3 top forwards

      Not to mention they will make me profit

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

    Wilson & Siggy to Anicheba & Hazard (-4)?

    I can afford a 0.1 Hazard price rise.

    Appreciate your thoughts!

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

      Yes

  27. EDEN THE MAN
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Evans or Pieters?

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

    Going to be a nervous 2 weeks for people making transfers now

    GW isn't even over yet

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

      Got good squad depth

    2. DevilGin
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      The Hazard Bandwagon queue is pretty solid, everybody want a ticket.

  29. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    I'm all for beating the price rise but theres no diff really between 9.9 & 10.0.

    Just wait until Intl break is over peeps

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

      Thats only today. Will be 10.2 by Tuesday.

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

      Unless the 0.1 means you can't make the transfer, I'd wait.

    3. rocky7st
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Most likely it'll be 10.1 maybe 10.2 by the time the internationals are over

    4. Heavy Data
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Could be more than that. I jumped on the Gun train and he's gone up 0.3 in a couple of days since getting him. Hazard could go up 0.6 in the international break, unaffordable for me at 10.5

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

    love how siggy is going under the radar

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

      Scoring less than other options is certainly 'going under the radar'
