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.

    South American players most likely to be sold to make way for Haz bandwagon

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      The last time people started selling Aguero it didn't end well.

  2. Make United Great Again

    9 years, 1 month ago

    Walcott Firmino McAuley > Hazard Allen Alonso.

    Leaves me with a midfield of:

    Hazard Coutinho Sanchez Allen
    Aguero Wilson Lukaku.

    Thank you very much! 🙂

    1. Slippy
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      looks good. do it.

      1. Make United Great Again
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks. Will do it tonight.

    2. Karan_G14
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Coutinho can easily be benched after IT break. Firmino has a better chance of starting.

    3. Krionos
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Before walcott or firmino have played? A bit hasty that...

  3. Dont give a fuchs

    Stones to alonso done.

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      No waiting around

      1. Dont give a fuchs
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Waited 2 weeks already.

        1. Make United Great Again
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Fair enough. I'll be getting them too 😀

  4. Greenbackbøøg…

    Sanchez better score now

    Moses post. Would've been Alonso assist.

  7. mattk lfc

    No point in any hasty decisions before Liv/Ars play tomorrow, but I NEED Hazard and Alonso in my team

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Me too. I've go the exact funds for them tonight.

      May have to get them in tonight

    2. Flynniesta
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Same. Just can't work out who's more vital in the short term. Would have to do Ozil to Haz unless I take a hit or Lovren or Williams to Alonso

    Everton getting destroyed

  9. Chucky

    Hazard taking freekicks as well this is too scary to watch as a non owner

    1. Slam
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Look up, mine's worse 🙁

  15. Too Mane Men
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    Cheslea playing the best football in the league right now. No question about it. So bloody expensive to bring them in though!

    1. Mull
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      *cough* Liverpool *cough*

  16. tm245
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    If I kneejerk Alonso first, do I get half his points for this GW?

    That chip would be glorious.

    1. Flynniesta
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yes.
      Go for it.

    2. The Scholes School
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Great idea, second that

  17. Chucky
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Oveido off

  18. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    In order to get hazard. I will have to part ways with either lukaku or costa.

    Which one would you let go of?

    1. Chucky
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      kaku easy

    2. COYS Down Under
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Do you really think Hazard is going to outscore them?

      I'd lose Costa personally.

    3. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Lukaku.

  19. Seamy
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Who gets dumped for Alonso? JEvans or Pieters or wait a few weeks

  20. Puzzle
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years

    Smug Alonso-owner here!

  21. Nicks93
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Im in love with Conte for transforming Chelsea to this beast in such a short time

    1. tm245
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      You guys look awesome, he is so impressive.

      1. Nicks93
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        And the transformation actually began just after Arsenal game which makes it much more impressive

    2. Kante Be Bothered
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      So much better than almost getting relegated under a certain Portuguese

      1. Nicks93
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        You bet!

      2. The Fantastic Mr Fox
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        So fickle, haha

      3. Krionos
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Hes ok though. Working wonders furter up north...

    3. Chucky
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Conte is really getting the best out of Hazard and seems like he's got the right system now.

  22. The 12th Man
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    McAuley,Firmino,Sterling > Alonso,Hazard,Moses/Allen/Gund -8?

    1. Slippy
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      don't think you should lose firmino

  23. StalkingDwarf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    So is Aguero still essential with his hefty price tag?

    1. Mull
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      He's not going to score more than one goal every game. Probably not 100% essential but it's tough to make up the points if he does well one week.

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Huh?

    2. Kante Be Bothered
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      nah

    3. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Always.

      At your own peril if you get rid

      1. Forza Papac
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        This. He's the only genuine word class player in the league and a proven fpl asset.

  24. afcbbbb
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Grant Heaton
    Alonso Fuchs Smith Martina Holebas
    Hazard Ozil Firmino Coutinho Redmond
    Benteke Lukaku Wilson

    Worth WC this week?

    Cheers

  25. PvA

    I'm seriously so close to taking a hit now before the int break

    Someone help

    1. KingNidge
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I'm close to doing it before half time lol

      1. PvA
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I'm on the transfer page right now woah everyone is having a meltdown

        1. KingNidge
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          I'v been very disciplined all season.. time for a blow out

    2. StalkingDwarf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Still have plenty of games to play.

    3. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Calm down mate . Your asking for trouble. Just let tomorrow's games play. Don't do anything rash

  26. Differentiator
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    What would your transfer(s) be if Costa gets that 5th yellow?

    1. Differentiator
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      if any, of course*

      1. BB-8
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Redmond Costa to Hazard Austin

    2. Kante Be Bothered
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Costa to Batshuayi then Batshuayi to Costa

  27. BB-8
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Firmino to Haz for free is sooo tempting

    1. justmatt
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Looking at something similar.

    2. Danstoke82
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I'm extremely tempted to do this too

  28. S.Kuqi
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    So many great midfield options available. Probably better to shift to 3-5-2

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

      I got aguero, costa and lukaku. So hard to let go of this front 3

    2. StalkingDwarf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      With amount of cheaper strikers scoring today, I don't think you can go wrong with any formation.
