Dugout Discussion – Chelsea vs Hull City

3,242 Comments
Share

Gameweek 22 concludes at Stamford Bridge where leaders Chelsea will bid to extend the gap at the top with another three points against Hull City.

The Diego Costa circus monopolises the pre-match chatter and, with the striker recovered from a “back problem”, he is immediately re-installed to Antonio Conte’s starting line-up to lead the attack.

Costa is backed by 10.5% of Fantasy Premier League managers with the captaincy, while team-mate Eden Hazard earns the support of 7.6%.

The Belgian has returned just a goal and two assists in the last five Gameweeks, causing a good degree of fidgeting among his 33.1% ownership.

However, the omens are good for both Hazard and Costa today.

The latter has scored in all three of his previous Premier League appearances against Hull, while also providing two assists.

Equally, Hazard has scored three and earned an assist in his last four Premier League appearances against the Tigers.

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

    Hey, so I think I have to let Hazard go.
    Thinking of bringing Costa in place of Gray. Have Ibra and Kane.
    Or should I get Alli and get Costa in place of Kane and upgrade elsewhere...
    If I keep Kane, I can afford 5.9 mid, Redmond maybe, he has good fixtures but hasn't provided attacking returns from quite some time...

    GK: Heaton / Valdes
    Def: Morgan / van Djik / Rose / Evans / Ake
    Mid: Haz / Sanchez / Ali / Fletcher / Can
