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.

    Should I do this tonight or wait 🙂 ?

    Adrian >> Foster
    Eriksen >> Hazard

    1. Le _ Professeur
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      This is a -4 hit btw

    2. Respect My Authoritah

      9 years, 5 months ago

      My word, Eriksen?!

      Do it now. Heaton if possible

      Looks perfect.

  2. Evasivo
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    So Stwrling>Gundogan a no brainer?
    After his performance today, surely he's nailed Chelsea and FPL starting 11s!?

    4 of my players currently rising in price, 11 falling 😀

  4. Swan - Villa Proud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    Could go Walcott+Lukaku->Hazard+Defoe. Yay or Nay?

    Sanchez, Firmino, Coutinho, Hazard, Allen
    Kun, Austin, Defoe

    1. Epic Fail

      Good win today for the Villans. I was waiting for the late Blackburn equaliser and somehow it never came 😎

      1. Swan - Villa Proud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Cheers buddy. 🙂 Was shocked they didn't concede late. 🙂 I'ts a new day

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years

          you like the transfer?

          1. Epic Fail
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Not sure I'd wanna get rid of Lukaku, but if that's what it takes. Sometimes you have to make sacrifices.

  5. bojack

    Painful looking at Friend sitting there last on my bench with Amat and Whelan ahead of him 🙁

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      You could still get him. Amat might not play.

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Amat won't play

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

      1st on mine, but unlikely to come on

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

    Would you do Firmino to Hazard if you have Coutinho

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Probably not.

    2. Bleach †
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Nah

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

        R u serious or Nah

        1. Bleach †
          • 10 Years

          Im serious

    3. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Yes

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

        No.

    4. 1314
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      What if Cout gets stretchered off tomorrow ?

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

        Ummmmmmm....

  7. Slippy
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    should i do walker to alonso?

    1. Swan - Villa Proud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      thinking the same. Will wait on it thought

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

        my sv for walker is 5.9 so i would have to do it tonight

        1. Swan - Villa Proud
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          probably not then.

    2. 1314
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I'm thinking of doing it too

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

    Got Kingsley at 4.0

    Just need him to rise once more....been between 96%and 100% the entire week

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

      It's tonight or never because when he doesn't start tomorrow he won't rise anymore

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

    Lukaku + fletcher -> Keane/Anichebe + Hazard?

    Would mean my front 7 is:
    Sanchez Walcott Firmino Coutinho Hazard
    Austin Aguero

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

      Walcott and Defoe trade as alternative.

      Thinking about the same 2 options

    2. svv040
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Dump Lukaku before SWA at home - stupid
      Having 4 South Americans in your team after Int break, means less min even starts are at risk
      Doulbe up on Ars is not so slick, since rotation is coming(GRu and Ramsey are fit)

  10. DantheManinaPan
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Rose/Bellerin (which one?) to Alonso worth it for a free?

  11. 1314
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Will hold on Hazard transfer till tomorrow games get over..most of us need hit(s) to get him , rushing the transfer now and then any serious injury to the key players who are playing tomorrow will mess up the whole thing..because any of Sterling/Sanchez/Firmino/Lukaku that we are considering to sacrifise for could be of less priority if players playing tomorrow get injured..

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

      Hazard is priced at 9.9 and will rise up again and again, will get return with this form, worth the hits IMO as everybody do.

      1. 1314
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        yes but at least let the gw to get over if we can't wait for the international games..it's just 0.1-0.2 difference anyway..say you decided to keep Sanchez/Coutinho and he gets wounded up seriously tomorrow..things are gonna be worse..

  12. Bleach †
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    So, Alexis → Eden to get that 0.3 rise, then get Alexis back in my team after few weeks?

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

      Unless you've only just bought Sanchez, you'll make a loss?

      1. Bleach †
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        I've got him for 12.0

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

          You got mugged off!

          1. Bleach †
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            11.0 lol 😀 😀 sorry

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

              He's 11.4 now, so you'll lose 0.2 to buy him back. A 0.3 Hazard rise will give you 0.1 profit.

              Even if he rises again it will only be to break even. You'd have to hope Samchez drops also... Seems a lot to ask for the sole purpose of chasing value.

              1. Bleach †
                • 10 Years
                9 years, 5 months ago

                You're right, Alexis is actually good against strong opponents.

                1. Bleach †
                  • 10 Years
                  9 years, 5 months ago

                  Oops called ManUtd a strong opponent...

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Not just for the rise, no.

    3. hannesdela
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Just keep Alexis and find another way to get Hazard in?

  13. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Has there ever been a bigger waste of space than John freakin Stones? Useless donkey.

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

      But he got a CS last week

    2. Defcons are for Kinnear
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I still want to keep him :oops;

      1. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Oops indeed 😀 😳

    3. Robe Wan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      V frustrating

      1 min away from another. 7 pointer

      1. Defcons are for Kinnear
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        That's what wants me to keep him. The CS have to pick up

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

      Yes, and his name is Ashley Williams.

  14. Karan_G14
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

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

    I can afford a 0.1 Hazard price rise.

    Appreciate your thoughts!

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

      Who is your 5th MF?

      1. Karan_G14
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Redmond

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

          Then looks good. Wilson was useless last weeks anyways

  15. Defcons are for Kinnear
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    An argument for 3-5-2. Pedro. Only 7.1m. Which strikers match him in that range? Only draw back is his early subs

    1. Karan_G14
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I'd be worried about Willian too.

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Austin every day of the week

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

      Might lose his spot to Willian for few week

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

      Defoe and Austin

  16. Fanta sea
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Would you switch Sanchez to Hazard?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      No.

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

      NO.

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

      Yes. Better player.

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

    Thoughts on Pedro?? Could he be a good alternative over Hazard for much cheaper??

    1. Defcons are for Kinnear
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Not alternative. Get both

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

        It's so hard to fit everyone in 🙁

  18. Patty
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Walker > Azpi/Alonso for free?

    1. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      No

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

    Thinking of saving this week and doing this for GW 13:
    Sterling + Walker to Hazard + 4.4m for a -4

    Think I'll be priced out?

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

      yes defo.do it this week

  20. Chucky

      Pieters. Butland will be back in few weejs

  26. Bun Rab
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Just got back from Chelsea. Been watching since early 90's and i don't think I've seen a team playing as well as the way we are now.
    Mou 04/05 and Ancelotti double 09/10 were the previous best but none were as complete a team as the one playing now.

    Even so, i am still struggling to get any players in. Hazard is phenomenal, but expensive and other mids are scoring well, Costa is a machine (with no controversy or cards to deal with), but again is expensive, Alonso getting points at both ends, every player is working well in their position. If you could have just 1 Chelsea player who would it be? And who would you swap out for them? Sanchez? Lukaku? Walker?

    1. ViperStripes
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Hazard because of Costa's 4YC

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

        Costa hasn't been booked for last 5 games

      2. Bun Rab
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Costa was on 4 yc's by GW6. In 6 games since, not 1 yc. He may even make it to the deadline as he doesn't need to be a thug anymore.

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

      Hazard would be the one. Maybe lose Sanchez

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

        That's a big call. I'd feel unsafe with no Sanchez, but it would possibly allow for Hazard & Lukaku -> Costa. Fixtures still make me hesitant.

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

      Hazard
      Walker

  27. ANON.
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    2ft. 0.3 in the bank

    Heaton, Pickford
    VVD, Williams, Holebas, Evans, Amat
    Mane, Sterling, Walcott, Redmond, Fletcher
    Aguero, Ibra, Lukaku

    After tomorrow's games I'm going to most likely drop Ibra for Austin/Benteke and then upgrade a mid to Hazard. If Redmond or Theo don't start it'll be whoever that is. Otherwise Sterling. Looks ok?

  28. ViperStripes
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    a) Sanchez > Hazard
    b) Lukaku & Benteke > Costa & Defoe 0.1m itb 4pts
    c) Firmino & Kos > Hazard & Pieters 1.1m itb too 4pts
    d) Firmino & Kos > Hazard & Van Dijlk 0.2itb 4pts

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years

      D

    2. ANON.
      • 12 Years

      A

    3. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      I like C.

  29. Fanta sea
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Would you do any of these:

    1) Sanchez >>> Hazard

    2) Antonio + Redmond >>> Hazard + 4.7m midfielder (NO HITS)

    I've also got Capoue if that makes any difference.

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

      Not yet. Wait for Internationals. After 2 just.

    2. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Option 2 100%

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

    Look at Liverpool fixtures, surely it's Arsenal players that should go rather than Pool?

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

      More specifically Sanchez, loads of spare cash too

    2. ViperStripes
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Ditching Sanchez just feels so wrong

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

      Yeah completely agree

    4. Karan_G14
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Arsenal fixtures after United are as good as Pool.
