After a breathless conclusion to the quartet of three o’clock kick-offs, we have barely any time to regain composure before the day’s final match is upon us.

Composure is likely to be a rare commodity at Stamford Bridge, where Chelsea and Spurs collide to rekindle their stormy affair in the tea-time clash.

Fantasy managers will be focused on the output of both Diego Costa and Eden Hazard, particularly with the Liverpool midfield failing to produce at Anfield. Costa has been handed the captaincy by 10% of FPL managers, with Hazard earning 5% backing. Elsewhere, Marcos Alonso’s 39,000 new owners will be banking on a seventh consecutive clean sheet.

Harry Kane’s performance will be key to those hopes. With three kind home fixtures to following this encounter, Kane is primed for investment and Fantasy managers will be using this evening’s encounter to carefully assess his prospects.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    0.1 short off doing Lukaku to Kane in a one transfer straight swap 😕

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

      Could be 0.2 or 0.3 off by 1am mate

      1. Venom Snake
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Doesn't matter I'll have to use my 2nd FT now anyway so the funds won't be a problem

    2. MTPockets
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Kane did zero & Lukaku hasn't played yet.

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

        Kane has Swansea next week and just played Chelsea.

        Personally the risk of Kane captain next week is worth it for me. Could be a mini league changer in one week.

        1. MTPockets
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Neither price anywhere near changing so what's the hurry.

  2. Kante Be Bothered

    Another week where Costa gets no yellow. But according to non Costa owners he was supposed to get his 5th yellow a few GWs ago

    1. andy85wsm

      • 16 Years

      In hindsight it's been a mistake yes.

    2. makaveli123
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      He won't get his 5th YC before I bring him in.

    3. Over Midwicket
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      He's the best striker in the game right now

  3. Over Midwicket
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Hi all. Looking for some help with a defender for the next few weeks. Max 6mil.

    Current defence is Walker, VVD, Holebas and Amat.

    Thinking Clyne for baps and fixtures or Brunt for set pieces and good home games

  4. Bleach †
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    How serious was Coutinhos injury?

    1. Over Midwicket
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Wait and see. I'm personally selling

    2. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Worse than 50% chance of playing that this worthless flagging system shows. Id say a big fat zero

  5. ★Kuntheman★
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    How's this team looking lads? Made some transfers after Coutinho got strechered off. Fixtures a huge factor in this team.

    Pickford (Grant)
    Alonso Clyne Van Dijk (Jenkinson, Holebas)
    Hazard Mane Firmino Sigurdsson Zaha
    Aguero Costa (Anichebe)
    0.0 in the bank

    1. Over Midwicket
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Delicious

    2. Clump
      • 11 Years

      I see the colour green.

  6. PvA
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    F8*^*^king had enough now

    18 points with 7 played

    Can't be *Y*^^%ed with this game anymore

    I can't see much wrong with this team too

    Heaton
    Alonso, Evans, Holebas
    Sanchez, Hazard, Coutinho, Snod
    Aguero, Lukaku, Austin

    1. Over Midwicket
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      This happened to me a couple of weeks ago and I took a -16 point hit and dropped about 700k places

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

        No seriously... what the actual **** am I doing wrong?

        1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
          • 17 Years

          You stopped giving a ....

          • 11 Years

          Wait for tomorrow, it could all change

        3. Shultan
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          You still got 3 attackers including sanchez, who im pretty sure will get a brace as i sold him this week!

        4. Clump
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          What are you doing wrong?
          You're taking things to heart. Pour a glass of something nice and get the cheese out of the fridge.

    2. Venom Snake
      • 12 Years

      Sounds like you do give a....

    3. KingNidge
      • 11 Years

      More than me

      Always another week even the best team on paper can turn to muck just keep going

    4. Shultan
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Same here on 23 (-4)
      If fpl site had a delete button i would rage quit!

    5. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Snodgrass and Lukaku.

    6. Professor Abel X
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Good team, keep patience and don't take it so seriously

    7. Mull
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      3 attackers left. Could easily hit average this week.

    8. bigwig
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      It's decent, be patient

    9. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      add 5 points, stop crying.

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

        5 points from what? Only 2 from Pickf

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 17 Years

          Bonus points.

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

            K 23 is still 5 points below the overall average

    10. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Im same. Was just over 7 000 OR a few week ...now im just having worse gws ever. Doesnt help with donkeys like alonso and rondon spunking points away

    11. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      How many hits have you taken? Who are your subs ? Who did you captain? Looks decent.

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

      Your team is too spread out. 1x Arsenal 1x ManC 1x Everton 1x Soton 1x Lpool. Gotta double up and commit to the teams you think are going to do well over the next few weeks rather than sitting on the fence with every team. Saying that, you have an excellent base with which to do so. Just gamble a bit more

  7. Greenbackbøøg…
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Forgot to change captain to Mane and kept it on Lukaku, today went better than I thought

  8. andy85wsm
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Costa potentially getting bonus for just an assist 😮

    Well I never...

    1. Grand Thibauto
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      He was excellent though. Lots of key passes should be given to him as he literally fed some chances for the likes of Alonso and co to finish.

    2. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Only 1BP behind Matic

      1. Jazz!
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Slight chance he gets 2 😎

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

      Unbelievable really. The guy never got bonus for a goal and assist.

    4. KingNidge
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Moses to get winning goal bonus.. Costa won't get anything

  9. Tomlette Greggs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Which sub 5.4 MID would you prefer, as a fourth midfielder to play every week:

    A) Zaha
    B) Phillips

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      B

    2. Over Midwicket
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Zaha easily

    3. Professor Abel X
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I wouldn't want anyone at that price playing every week

      1. Tomlette Greggs
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        neither do I, ideally, but need to make it happen to afford the team I want.

        Zaha, Phillips, or Stanislas?

        1. Professor Abel X
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Zaha at a push

  10. Carlton P
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    What's the latest on coutinho chaps?

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

      He's a donkey

  11. Professor Abel X
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Aguero(c) but only 40 with 2 to play including baps, can't help but feel disappointed, most people in my league have 30ish with at least 4 to play

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

      Same. Hopefully an Austin goal tommow and United/arsenal to keep quiet.

  12. Venom Snake
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    33 from 6

    Double WBA defence holding on for a CS would have been nice

    1. Licious Lizard
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      33 from 7 (before 9-10 baps).

      Triple WBA holding on for a CS would have been nice f#%k!

      1. Venom Snake
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Very nice. The only baps in my team are from aguero 🙁

        1. Licious Lizard
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Who do you have from WBA defence? McAuley is looking at 3 and Nyom possibly 1.

          are you planning on playing either next week?

          1. Venom Snake
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            I have the worst of the bunch in Evans, and Foster in goals

            1. Licious Lizard
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              Ah too bad. Good luck with everything

  13. Greenbackbøøg…
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Costa bullies his way to a bap, of course..

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

      my boy moses has something to say about that

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

        winning goals baps might put him over diego i think

      2. Professor Abel X
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah Moses winning goal baps

  14. Jordan.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    well played costa

  15. Grand Thibauto
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Would you do KDB+Lukaku to Kane+Siggy for a hit

    1. Venom Snake
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Why would you ditch KDB? He's had his rest

      1. Grand Thibauto
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        He is not getting the starts was benched 2 gws ago as well then came on later.

      2. BROOKLYN GOONER
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        and they did seem to miss him

        1. Grand Thibauto
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Alright may wait on it. But its the only way to get Kane as well for Swansea

          1. BROOKLYN GOONER
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            hmm, could be worth it, then...kane (c) vs swansea is very tempting...siggy vs spurs next week tough, but next six are very kind

  16. For Fuchs Sake
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Lukaku to Costa and Sterling to Siggy me thinks

  17. IWR
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Which one to sell for Siggy to raise Kane funds?

    A) Mane
    B) Firm
    C) Ozil

    Do the double transfer of Siggy in and Lukaku-Kane tonight for rises?

    1. b✪mber
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      probably Mane

  18. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Going out the FFS cup in round 2

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

      Always planned to concentrate on FPL Cup this season.

  19. Rossamous
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Who goes for Kane?

    A. Benteke (SOU, hul, MUN, CHE, wat, ars)
    B. Lukaku (MUN, wat, ARS, LIV, lei, hul)

    1. Swan - Villa Proud

  20. Il Papera

    9 years, 8 months ago

    Whilst waiting for my takeaway do I:
    A Wash the dishes
    B Coutinho > Pedro
    C Water the plants
    D Resolve issue with noisy neighbor

    Pedro about to rise tonight. Coutinho probably will drop once extent of injury is revealed.

    Get well soon Phil!

    1. Swan - Villa Proud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      B + D for a hit ( to the neighbor) 😉

      1. Il Papera
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        As long as I don't get -4 years!

  21. le flem
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    coutinho certainly injured?

    1. MTPockets
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Certainly looked it.

  22. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Do we think Coutinho will be out for a few weeks?

    Looking at Coutinho >> Siggy Lukaku >> Kane

    Heaton
    Mustafi Holebas Evans
    Sanchez Firmino Hazard SIGGY Allen
    Aguero KANE

    Pickford Anichebe Williams Amat

    Thoughts guys

      FT

  23. Swan - Villa Proud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    OR and ML rank now at the poiint where getting Costa gains me no ground. For that reason, Kane seems a good choice.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Kane needs to beat Costa or you lose more ground.

      1. Swan - Villa Proud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        That how it works, for sure. May still lose Kun in a few weeks for the one I don't get this week

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

      Costa is getting just so expensive now. He'll be 11m by the time I get him in GW 11 and then I don't know if I even want him.

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

        GW 15*

  24. andy85wsm
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Few weeks away yet but looking at Coutinho downgrade to someone like Mata to afford Hazard to Sanchez.

    1. Professor Abel X
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Coutinho injured

  25. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Anyone else find Danny Kelly pretty irritating?

  26. makaveli123
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    I need Austin to deliever tomorrow.

    1. Swan - Villa Proud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      This along with Alexis and the new daddy

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

        Is he a daddy already? I thought he tweeted he was going to play.

  27. You've got red on you.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    a) Cout and Stones -> Siggy and Alonso -4

    b) Cout -> Firmino

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

      A

    2. Professor Abel X
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      If no other liv mid B, otherwise A

      1. You've got red on you.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        So having Liverpool mids is more important than having Siggy and Alonso, and getting rid of Stones. Tricky

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

      Firminho is injured I believe

    4. EmreCan Hustle
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      a

  28. Professor Abel X
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Cout & Evans > Siggy & Alonso no brainer?

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

      It's a yes from me.

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

      Yep

    3. Swan - Villa Proud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Yep

    4. Mull
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      A 4 point hit to a defender with the worst fixture of the season isn't a good idea.

      1. Professor Abel X
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        For free...

    5. MTPockets
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Alonso vs city?

  29. stewlynz
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    2 FT's

    Think I'm gonna do Sanchez & Austin to Siggy & Kane.

    What's reckon?

    1. Professor Abel X
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Wait til tomorrow but looks good

      1. stewlynz
