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.

    Is this front 7 too weak?

    Sanchez l Firmino l Siggy l Snoddy
    Aguero l Kane l Austin

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

      All good bar snod

      1. The Man Pastore
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Any better mid at 6.1m max? I would keep him maximum 2 weeks, so i think snoddy could get some return

    2. The Bandit
      • 15 Years

      🙄

      Depends if Chelsea play cricket.

      1. The Man Pastore
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        i plan to bring Hazard in 2 weeks for Sanchez and upgrade snoddy then

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

      Snoddy probably not a 4th mid - otherwise ok

    5. Swan - Villa Proud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Good for next week at least

    6. Jigger & Pony
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Not a Snoddy fan

      1. The Man Pastore
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        who do you prefer at 6.1m or less?

  2. Jolly Good
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Haz wally cout firmino 4.3
    Kun, Costa, Deeney

    Have 2 FTs, Ideally want to take out cout and Deeney.

    If I get siggy for cout, have upto 9.6 for Deeney replacement but can't think of anyone good

    Should I just do cout to siggy and save a FT?

    1. Swan - Villa Proud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I'd save or even get Austin and upgrade defense

    2. Eddie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Giroud

    3. MikeDuff
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Wait for injury news. No need to panic

  3. Parm
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Heaton;
    Holebas, Evans, Nyom;
    Sánchez, Hazard, Firmino, Zaha;
    Agüero, Kane(c), Austin.

    Pickford; Fuchs, Fletcher, Amat

    1FT; £0.0m ITB.

    Pretty happy with this, just looking to move on Fuchs but might bench him this week anyway. Early thoughts?

    1. Jacket Potato
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Looks good to me, maybe hold on till after the mid week games as no pressing changes.

      1. Parm
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Yep, not sure who I want for Fuchs anyway.

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

      The only thought should be getting rid of Fuchs. Save though.

      1. Parm
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        That's what i'm thinking, cheers.

  4. Jacket Potato
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    This worth a -4
    Coutinho + Austin > > Fletcher + Kane

    Rest of my team :
    Firmino, Hazard, Siggy, Allen ***
    Kun, Costa

    Would do this after tomorrow's games.

    1. Jigger & Pony
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Don't like it. Mid too weak. Keep Austin.

    2. squits
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Mid is worryingly weak mate

      1. Jacket Potato
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah true, maybe I get Mane + fletcher. Cheers lads

  5. Jigger & Pony
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Guys which one?

    A. Costa + Eriksen
    B. Kane + Pedro

    1. Jacket Potato
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      B

  6. PvA
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    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
    .

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

      A. 3 great home fixtures in next 4

    2. Swan - Villa Proud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Flip flopping myself. Kane atm

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Are you caring now?

  7. Dr Kenneth Noisewater
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Does anyone have a Heaton update? I'm thinking of a -4 this week, and it'll either be Jaku + Coutinho or Coutinho + Allen.

    1. Swan - Villa Proud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Wait for pressers is all we can do. If he's hurt I'm fine shipping to Pickford for a hit. Long term payoff and extra cash allows Evans upgrade in two weeks

  8. Sanguinista
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Coutinho to Redmond (already have Hazzy, Firm, Siggy)
    Deeney to Kane (already have Costa & Giroud)

    Thoughts? leaves me with 3.4 ITB to get back Kun in 2 weeks for Giroud.

    1. KUNingas
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Nice

    2. MikeDuff
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Of course not. Redmond hasn't performed in weeks

  9. ANON.
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    So what are everyone's thoughts on going Aguero less now? I dropped him for Ibra this GW and probably won't get him back until February. With good team value you can afford

    Hazard, Mane, Firmino, Siggy
    Aguero, Kane, Austin

    But I can't quite squeeze this so think I'm fine to have Ibra over Aguero for xmas? Hoping for rotation

    1. Swan - Villa Proud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I'm holding for a bit longer.

    2. ronty
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Bar Christmas when everyone will be rotated, he is fixture free

      Ibra at his age has more chances of rotation

    3. Larry Legend
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Risky but think you'll be OK. Personally I really wanted Zlatan so iv found a way to fit them both in.

    4. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      It's probably going to be a tough watch

  10. Ronnies
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Guys,

    Coutinho to ... ?

    a) siggy

    b) pedro (have costa and haz)

    Tnks

    1. alfast1c
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Eriksen, Alli?

    2. GE
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I would wait, if have to say one I would say Siggy

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

    Come on Lee Grant. Give us one more price rise before you lose your place

  12. Kante Be Bothered
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Would you keep stones? if not who is the best replacement for 5.0

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

      Cedric

      1. Kante Be Bothered
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        already have VVD

    2. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      No, he's a poor asset, Cedric looks better value.

      1. Kante Be Bothered
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        already have VVD

        1. Netley Lucas
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Ah right, erm, yeah Lovren then like Ronty says.

    3. ronty
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Pep doesn't like to keep him in the squad, why would you

      1. ronty
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        and get Lovren...

  13. The Man Pastore
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Gundogan/Coutinho/Lukaku --> Siggy/Snoddy/Kane for -4pts. Yay or nay?

    1. squits
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Do it before price rises and falls!

    2. Guru Mediation
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Fer instead of snoddy?

  14. KUNingas
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Have front eigth:

    Hazard, Firmino, Coutinho, Redmond, Allen
    Kun, Lukaku, Deeney

    What to do first? 0.4ITB

  15. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    https://fantasy.premierleague.com/a/team/2427805/event/13

    First 12 GWs: 3 points
    This GW: 27 points after WC

    This guy is making a late push for the title.

  16. PvA
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    What's the craik with Brunt?

    Is he nailed and is he looking good?

  17. WE GO FOR IT
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Lukaku, Wilson, Coutinho OUT for Kane, Negredo, Siggy for a -4?

    1. MikeDuff
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      No. Wait for Coutinho news. Negredo? You're not serious

      1. WE GO FOR IT
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Middlesbrough have Hull, Swansea and Burnley in the next 5 and Negredo looks involved in almost everything they create.

  18. Frank Black
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Hold on Coutinho? Sounds like there's no fracture or anything too serious...

    1. Swan - Villa Proud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Already sold. Guasrenteed at least two drops and noit sure he ll be rushed back into the side or play 90.

      1. Frank Black
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        We don't even know what type of injury it is. If it's just a bad knock he could easily make it for the next weekend.

    2. Squires FC
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      May as well wait for news

  19. PvA
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Done:

    Coutinho & Lukaku âž¡ Sigurdsson & Kane -4

    Is it worth a -8 to add: Evans âž¡ Brunt

    1. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      How would Evans to Brunt for a -4 ever be worth it?

      1. PvA
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        K logging off now

    2. Swan - Villa Proud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Good moves. Nitbworth another hit foir a defender. I've been burned doing that this year

      1. PvA
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Cheers, I see you helping me a lot

  20. Squires FC

    1. PvA

    2. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

    3. MikeDuff
      • 9 Years

    How was Anichebe today?

    It sure who to play:

  25. MikeDuff

    In response to 99% of today's posts... it's only Saturday and halfway through the Gameweek guys. Stop panicking!!

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Don't forget the midweek games 🙂

      1. Jacket Potato
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Agree! Wait for solid news before making reflex decisions.

    2. weaver93
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      This.......

      Coutinho being transferred out.... madness....

      Wait for the injury prognosis first....

  26. MTPockets
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Any Firmino knock update?
      Was hoping for simple Coutinho swap.

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

      I'm 0.1m short of Cou/Lukaku --> Siggy/Kane...

      So I guess I'll just get Costa then? After City they've got amazing fixtures and if he gets the 5th yellow I can just ship him then... Might easily outscore Kane too, Chelsea are playing some great football at the moment!

      1. Swan - Villa Proud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        I like it

    • Fingerspitzengefühl
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Firmino looked like a simple knock, so I'm guessing he'll be fine soon. In regards to Coutinho, when can we expect more news on him? Don't want to rush transfers, but would be nice to get Siggy before his rise if Coutinho is out for some time

      1. Swan - Villa Proud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        I feel even if the scan is negative they may take it easy with him as he is injury prone

    • andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Nothing like an injury to the most owned player in the game to mix things up a bit

      1. Swan - Villa Proud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Amat got injured? 😉

    • Sanguinista
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      How nailed is Redmond? Looking at him for Southampton coverage with those plum fixtures. Already have Giroud, Costa & definitely looking to get in Kane.

      1. Swan - Villa Proud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        He's nailed but not producing Depends what you do with the money I suppose

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

          Get in Kane for Deeney & save 3.4 ITB to bring in Kun for Giroud after 2 weeks.

          1. weaver93
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Giroud nailed??
