Dugout Discussion – Crystal Palace vs Chelsea

17 December 2016 1598 comments

Gameweek 17 begins with Chelsea attempting to maintain their 10-game winning streak at Selhurst Park against Crystal Palace.

There’s plenty on show for Fantasy Football managers, with Eden Hazard a confirmed starter having missed the midweek victory at Sunderland.

Sold by more than 130,000 ahead of today’s deadline, they will be fidgeting uncomfortably throughout and hoping that Hazard continues to simmer in away matches. He’s scored just two goals in seven road trips so far, compared to six in eight at Stamford Bridge.

Diego Costa has had no such issues, home or away. He goes into today’s encounter off the back of just his third blank of the season on Wednesday – he is yet to go two Gameweeks without a goal or an assist this season.

For Palace, both Wilfried Zaha and Christian Benteke offer the major threat to a Chelsea defence that has conceded just two goals over their ten successive wins.

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

    If someone told me about month ago that:

    - I would pick between Origi or Carroll
    - that Eriksen is a must have
    - I would think about how to get Ibra imminent

    I would say that that he need to see the doctor

          Top 10K stats are usually pretty similar to top 100K.

          You can also check out some charts with 'The most infuential players', there are some estimates there for top 5% (or top 211K right now), e.g.:
          https://fpldiscovery.files.wordpress.com/2016/12/1617_gw17_7.jpg
          According to this chart, in top 5% Kane has been started by roughly 37% and captained by 28%, 65% in total, which is practically the same as top 10K.
