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.

    Couthino price not protected when only orange flagged, right? Should mean a 0.2 drop at least, which should make it more viable buying back

      Red to available only.

    Have Allen Hazard Firmino and Siggy. 0.3ITB

    Coutinho to who?

    Alli
    Walcott
    Pedro?

    1. Flynny
      • 11 Years

      Zaha

    2. FCSB

      Same issue, with a little extra cash... I'm thinking either Wally or Mane?!

    Goodbye Coutinho
    Goodbye Lukaku

    1. PvA
      • 9 Years

      You should've waited for tomorrow

      1. Richd
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        I am happy if Lukaku scores 10 goals. Still want Harry next week.

        1. Pompel
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          neither Kane nor Lukak price set to move immediately, so might do just Couthino to Siggy.

    Hello my harry
    Hello my friend.

    You have been the one for me.

    Coutinho/Lukaku > Siggy/Kane
    For free?

    (Haz/Sanchez/Firminho)
    (Austin/Aguero)

    1. Richd
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      100% do it. I just did, so some would say its GENIUS

    2. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I think alot of us are in this boat HVT.

      Coutinho/Lukaku > Siggy/ Kane or Costa

      this on a -4 for me, seems to good to miss.

      1. HVT
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Those bloody yellows keep putting me off!
        Prob just do the Siggy move tonight just in case if an injury tomorrow

        1. My Name Is Prince
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          In the same boat (with the exact same attackers as well and 2 FTs)... Might just make the Siggy transfer tonight as his price might rise tonight... The others probably won't rise/fall tonight so can wait for tomorrow 😉

    3. MTPockets
        9 years, 4 months ago

        I'd wait a day

        1. HVT
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          On Coutinho?
          -just in case??

          1. MTPockets
              9 years, 4 months ago

              On lukaku (admittedly I don't have lukaku).

        2. Kuqi Monster

          Good moves.

      • Venom Snake
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Anyone have the link to Eriksen's screamer?

      • Fred54
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Kane or Costa, which one would you go for?

        1. Sess!
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Kane....SWA, HUL and BUR in next three is too good to ignore.

          1. Fred54
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Yeah, it would be a nice diff and much easier to sell Kane for Costa if needs be.

      • Licious Lizard
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Have no idea on what to do, as a lot of the players I want have a bad fixture next week or just priced out.

        Pickford, Heaton
        McAuley, Evans, Nyom, Holebas, Kingsley
        Sanchez, Hazard, Allen, Snodgrass, Coutinho
        Aguero, Lukaku, Austin.

        2 FTs, 0.0 ITB.

        Looking to get in Siggy, Alonso, Cedric and possibly Kane in the next weeks. Might overlook Kane and wait and get Zlatan for gw 16.

        Possible transfer options:
        A) Coutinho+Lukaku -> Siggy + Costa/Kane. Don't like Costa/Siggy fixtures next week.
        B) Cout + Evans --> Siggy + Cedric/Alonso. Don't like Siggy/Alonso fixture
        C) Snodgrass + Evans -> Cedric + 5.1 mid
        D) Snodgrass/Allen -> cheap mid to raise funds for transfers next week.

        Any advice greatly appreciated, thanks.

        1. Kuqi Monster

          1. Licious Lizard
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Thanks. I could ALSO do McAuley -> Cedric for -4...?

            Or wait a week or two and fund Evans -> Cedric with a Snoddy/Allen downgrade?

          Need Coutinho news tbh.

            • 13 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Think I am getting rid either Way. Best case is 1-2 weeks out imo and with Lallana also injured pool players have lost some of their appeal.

      • Sess!
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Pedro, Walcott or eriksen as cot replacement? Have siggy.

      • IWR
        • 10 Years

        Exact funds for Mane/Lukaku/Smith to Siggy/Costa/Alonso (-8). Do I dare?

        1. ANON.
          • 12 Years

          Wouldn't do that this week

            • 15 Years

        Lukaku to Kane a no brainer? Doesn't seem like prices will move tonight so I can wait till tomorrow?
        1ft, 2.1 in the bank.

        Heaton, Pickford
        VVD, Williams, Holebas, Evans, Amat
        Hazard, Mane, Firmino, Walcott, Fletcher
        Ibra, Lukaku, Austin

        1. KUNingas

          Should stay still tonight

          Looks like a no brainer. Keep an eye on lukaku drop but should be ok to wait

        Just realised I've got exact cash for lukaku and mustafi to kane and Cedric. Got 2ft and won't be able to afford it after lukaku drop tonight. Do it now? Will give me

        2. ANON.
          • 12 Years

          Lukaku will drop tonight? He's on -50 on fpl stats

            Sorry my bad guys, thought I saw Lukaku due a drop earlier. Looks like I can wait a day

        6. fedolefan
          • 11 Years

          Lukaku shouldn't be dropping from what I can tell. -48.7%

        3. Pat Bonner
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years

          On 46 with 4 left so hopefully get over 60 for only the third time this season

      • matiakez
        • 15 Years

        I know it's a long game but I just can't buy a hazard return this season

      • Sharpe Shuffle
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Potentially a dumb question but if Coutinho's having a scan tomorrow, would the results of the scan typically be made available to the press the same day? Thanks

        1. Fred54
          • 11 Years

          Probably find out on Monday or Tuesday if we are lucky.

          • 14 Years

          What chance of Woodburn being added as a 4.0m mid. I know prob 4.5 but nicer fodder at 4.0.

          Siggy is currently all the rage , but ideally one would want to wait after Spurs(a) to bring him in. Damn those price rises 😡

              Price swings being the crux here, agree on that

          5. GreennRed
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            He's quality, on set-pieces, their dominant FPL pointsman. Even if Spurs hammer them he's prob good for an assist or something against his former club.

        4. Z
          • 9 Years

            Do you have 2 FT's. Wait for Heaton's injury report and possibly look elsewhere for the .1 IMO

            Leaning Kane ATM. Focused on ML right now and he's completely unownervby guys above me. Notbowning Costa hurts but hope Kun and Kane keep pace in short term

          Whisky lovers

          Aldi are currently selling a bottle of Speyside 28 yo single malt (43.4% abv) for £39.99, it's sensational and whatever the branded version is would probably be £100 plus. Get it while you can 🙂

          My defense this week was shambolic and next week is worse:

          Walker (SWA) Fuchs(Sun) Stones (CHE) Williams (MANU) Smith (LIV)

            Amat and use the cash I guess.

            Nyom is the one just whether you want to double up.

              I was thinking Amat he seems to be starting games and even if he gets 2 points every week no worse than stones

          A) Kane
          B) Costa

          Want Kane because he's better with bonus points and has pens

          But, I don't know if I'm being stubborn with Costa
