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.

    Sanchez or Hazard + 1.5 million hmmmm

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Both, with Gundogan as the enabler.

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

        Allen*

      2. Make United Great Again

        9 years, 5 months ago

        What about Coutinho and Firmino? :O

        1. Les Bleus
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Can't have them all 😉

          1. GuyIncognito
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Coutinho is essential this year. Best player in the league.

  2. Greenbackbøøg…

    0.1 away from Mane to Haz this is painful

  3. Syd.
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Hazard is still an absolute bargain

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Agreed.

      1. Syd.
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Gonna have to shuffle the pack to get him in

        Sterling and one other

        1. Davido989
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          i did it a few days ago, -8

    2. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Completely agree. Getting him in

    3. Rolls-Royce
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Definitely. Looks Lethal in this system.

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

      pens too

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

    I don't know how Stekelenberg plays for a PL club. He was horrible at Southampton where they conceded every game. Forster came in and they started keeping cleanies. He's as bad as Mignolet.

    1. Mark-O
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Saved two pens against City

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

        But you can still be a horrible keeper with one good game.

    2. Somalion
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      He's a dreadful GK.

  5. BigBrickDigger
    • 9 Years

    Alonso owner here

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

      :)))

    2. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Which one?

    3. The Scholes School
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Likewise!

  6. Lyonnais
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    No Chelsea is ruining my GW again 🙁

  7. Sjaugen
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Yeah, I bought Alonso and Hazard this week 😀 😀

    1. Rolls-Royce
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Awesome. Got Haz in myself.

  8. tm245
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    It is cognitive dissonance for me to say this but I really like watching Chelsea play.

  9. Mark-O
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    I have Costa but no Hazard

    And getting both together is a difficult choice considering there is KDB or Sanchez to fight for that premium midfield slot

  10. Your Mum's Athletic
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Cedric back after Internationals right lads?

    1. Mini Mane Mo
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Yup should be..Soton defenders will be a bargain after week 14

  11. Godot - Fashanu Zealand
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    It's hard to believe bookmakers suspended odds on Conte being sacked a few weeks ago

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

    Really want Hazard in my team but selling one of Firmino Coutinho Siggy and Sanchez seems like a a wrong decision...

  14. afcbbbb

    How's Hazard and Alonso looking??

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

      Lol

  15. Krul Runnings
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    No Chelsea is hurting week after week 🙁

    Glad to see Allen and Gun blanked though, walcott on a freeroll now

  16. 50 Shades Oshea
    • 12 Years

    Vert Hit for Alonso maybe turning out ok, thank you fpl for extra deadline, decision made out of boredom

  17. davies
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Selling Firmino - instead of Sanchez/Coutinho - for Hazard.

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

    Jagielka yellow

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

    Everton all over the shop.Jag YC

  20. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    well at least I benched lukaku

  21. jimbobmij
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Anyone know why Anichebe started today? Looking for a striker under 5.8m to ride the bench, cheaper the better. Anichebe at 4.5m could be great.

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

      I'm putting him in now, so I can fit Hazard into my team, and now maybe Walker > Alonso as well.

  22. The Big Fella
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    FFS - was going to take a -4 and get Hazard this week for Theodore.

    Now to get the funds for it I will need to
    1) downgrade Sanchez to KDB OR
    2) de gea to Butland

    Which one and why?

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

    Everton need to make a change. 3 at the back was a mistake

    1. tm245
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Good call, announcers saying Mirallas is coming on.

  24. Mark-O
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Matic owners dreading right now

  25. Syd.
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    BBC live text says Costa got the 2nd assist

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Hazard G, Costa A
      Alonso G, Pedro A

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

      Defo Pedro

    3. Grand Thibauto
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      They are wrong. Clearly Pedro

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

      1st

  26. tm245
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    MIght be the last GW with Hazard as a differential, would be great to get a haul from him.

  27. HuttonDressedasLahm
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Had to choose between Fuchs and Alonso for this GW
    Went with Fuchs for attacking points 🙄

    1. makaveli123
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      They haven't played yet.

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

      Ditto

    3. GuyIncognito
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Schmeichel injury made me get Alonso luckily.

  28. The 12th Man
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Which one goes for Hazard.
    Firmino or Coutinho?

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

      i would say coutinho should go but many will disagree

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

    Not really a good time to get hazard tbh.

    Two tough games vs spurs and man city coming up. Will get him after those two games tho

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

    Payet > Hazard done.

    I don't even care about the international break or an impending injury. Raaaaaaaaar
