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.

    Current team:

    Foster. Grant.

    Alonso. Francis. Pieters. McAuley. Kingsley.

    Firmino. Hazard. Coutinho. Can. Amartey.

    Aguero. Costa. Kane.

    £0 in the bank.

    A. Coutinho & Foster to Mane & 4m keeper for -4

    B. Coutinho to Siggy FT

    C. Coutinho to somebody else (who?) FT

    D. Something ekse?

    Thanks!!

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

      would definitely keep Foster. Cout + Can > Siggy + Zaha -4?

      1. James101
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Interesting. Will check that. Cheers!

      2. James101
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        do we think cout out will increase or decrease mane's points?

  2. Champione
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Cout >

    A) Eriksen
    B) Siggy
    C) Zaha

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

      Siggy

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

      B

    3. James101
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Soggy seems a nice bet

      Or pedro

      1. James101
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Soggy?!

      2. Champione
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Pedro is a great shout, but as a Haz + Costa owner I keep the last spot for a defender

        1. James101
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Yeah. I have haz Costa and alonso.

          Or if have pedro.

          1. James101
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            I'd

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

              triple Chelsea may be essential after the City game

    4. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      B.

    5. Champione
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Siggy confirmed 🙂 Cheers guys

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

    Courtous-Pickford
    Van Dijk-Lovren-Huth-Amat-Stones
    Firmino-Sanchez-Capoue-Redmond-Coutino
    Aguero-Costa-Diomande

    What u lads think of doing 2 free transfers for Stones+Coutino >> Matip+Eriksen?! Double up on Lpool defence since they have 5-6 good fixtures, and Spurs have 3/4 home fixs.

    Or any other idea?

  4. sully29
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    B more likely to win?

    A) Mata, Lukaku, Pieters, Holebas

    B) Sanchez + 17 points

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

      A probably struggles to get 17.

      1. sully29
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        This makes A sad. 🙁

    2. Champione
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      A (Mata and Holebas owner 😉 )

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

        Lukaku/Mata goal + Pieters/Holebas CS + Sanchez blank --> A wins

        1. sully29
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          I'll hope for the best. If Sanchez gets anything then it's game over.

    3. tomc990
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Probably B.

      A needs 2 or maybe 3 players not to blank.

      Probably 75-80% chance A wins.

      Be sure to post who does win!

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

    Those that already own Hazard, Firmino & Siggy, who are you looking to replace Coutinho with?

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

      Alexis/Walcott worth a look, Pedro is a differential after City away.

    2. Karan_G14
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Erikssen, Alli or Mata?

    3. liiusions
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I have absolutely no idea. Probably one of Mata or Theo but I'll have to miss tonight's drop to assess them tomorrow

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

      Eriksen or Walcott

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

      Eriksen, Alli, Walcott, Pedro or Mata most likely

  6. Karan_G14
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Are we expecting Firmino to be fine the coming gameweeks?
    Didnt know even he got injured 🙁

    Best Coutinho replacement?

    A) Erikssen
    B) Alli
    C) Mata

    Would really appreciate your thoughts!

  7. King Klopp
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Coutinho and Stones to Siggy and Alonso for -4?

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

      really good moves imo

    2. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Like the moves as is. Klopp sounded a lot more optimistic on Cout's injury than I expected though....

  8. Jack Burton
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    No amat assist clutching at straws

  9. Champione
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Micky essential after tomorrow's brace?

  10. Mithrandir, the Grey Pilgri…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years

    Come on Giroud!!!!!!!

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

    Surprised Mark isn't looking at his boy Moses now that he's living up to his promise.

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

      If he was 8.5 million everyone would have him

  12. jurgenklopp.8
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    A) Holebas, Sanchez, Austin + 14

    B) Cech, Van Dijk, Prodl, Lukaku, Ibra (C)

    who wins?

  13. FPL Footy Show Pod
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Siggy or Eriksen?

    Stones to who?

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

      got the same dilemma. For now: Siggy and Matip.

    2. Paulie Walnuts
      • 10 Years

      lovren

    3. 1966 was a great year for E…
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Siggy

      How much have you got for the Stones replacement?

    4. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Siggy, not sure on defender.

  14. 1966 was a great year for E…
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Foster • Grant
    Lovren • Morgan • Holebas • McAuley • Amat
    Firmino• Coutinho • Sanchez • Walcott • Capoue
    Aguero • Lukaku • Austin
    2FT, 0.4 ITB

    I'm thinking Coutinho and Lukaku to Siggy and Kane for free, and captain Kane home to Swansea.

    Sound OK?

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

      Popular moves this GW.

      1. 1966 was a great year for E…
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        It writes itself, really.

        Need to get Hazard in for GW15, and I'd rather keep Sanchez, might be tricky.

  15. alfast1c
    • 15 Years

    Repost...

    Courtous-Pickford
    Van Dijk-Lovren-Huth-Amat-Stones
    Firmino-Sanchez-Capoue-Redmond-Coutino
    Aguero-Costa-Diomande

  16. Torreslove
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Got exact change to do the following:

    Aguero + benteke + coutinho --> costa + kane + hazard

    leaves with this team:
    Foster (pickford)
    koscielny, walker, evans ( pieters, amat)
    hazard, firmino, sanchez, siggy, phillips
    costa, kane (anichebe)

    was already planning on removing aguero. this was the last week for him and benteke. costa and kane together will score lots of points.

    thoughts?

  17. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    What to choose:
    A)Kane, Anichebe, Mata
    B)Kane, Austin, Zaha
    ???
    Cheers mates&thanks for help !

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

      And he has already made a transfer...

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

        Probably Cout to Siggy.

      2. Belalugozi78
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        He sold Coutinho for Sigurdsson.

    2. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      How does he do it? 🙁

      1. Belalugozi78
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        He is patient.

        1. FPL Virgin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          He always does 2 FT at a time. Didn't do it this week for some reason.

          1. Belalugozi78
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Yep. I think he'll bring Chelsea players from 15 GW. He always wants to have 2FT in case. Sometimes it is impossible, but often doable

  18. King Klopp
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    43 points with 3 to play, what u guys got?

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

      Much less 🙁

    2. 1966 was a great year for E…
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      31 with 5 to play.

  19. Kryten
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Coutinho won't drop tonight? No rush to sell?

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

      Siggy will rise

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

      Depends on who you want to buy.

    3. Kryten
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Ah ok cheers

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

      dropping fast at -13.8%/h according to FFF, they predict him to drop tonight

  20. FPL Virgin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Does anyone know when Amat's assist will be decided?

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

      Probably decided already as bonus is in.

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        🙁

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        No assist then?

      2. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Annoying. Mark thought it should have been an assist, and all.

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

    So everyone ditching Coutinho even we didnt now anything??

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

      Prices rising/falling rapidly

    2. 1966 was a great year for E…
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      He was stretchered off with a boot on his foot, he's not playing for a while.

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

    For next week:

    A) Austin (cpl) +4
    B) Costa (mci)

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

      A

  23. Kryten
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Difficult to choose coutinho replacement I don't want three spurs have Kane and vert. Not sure on sight either

    1. Kryten
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Alli or siggy

  24. jamie1972
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Would you go:

    A) Hazard + gimp (Anichibe most likely)

    B) Kane + gimp (De Roon or Fer)

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

      B with De Roon

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

    So should I do Coutinho -> Sigurdsson?

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

      Sure. A lot of people are making that move

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

    Is Cedric Soares nailed on? Is it worth getting him now to avoid the Stones drop or wait or get Amat?

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

    Coutinho → Siggy
    Agüero → Kane
    -4
    Very tempted, meaning I could also own Sanchez & Haz

  28. Bobby_Baggio
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Stones dropping price tonight so thinking:

    Stones > Matip or Lovren?

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

      Lovren

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

    Gundogan/Coutinho/Lukaku --> Zaha(or Snoddy)/Siggy/Kane for -4pts. Yay or Nay?
