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.

      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Yip same as me. Can't score or assist at home to hull, hooked after 65min

      1. leocarter27
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

  4. Team Cruel

    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Diomande not understanding a word of what his manager is telling him.

  5. JJeyy
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Get in:
    A) Firmino
    B) Alonso

  6. Syd.

    1. Bellerinmondo
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

    2. Champione
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      50/50. Until Everton get a pen, Coleman will outscore Baines imo but in total they will score almost the same

  10. sminkypinky
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    1. leocarter27
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

    2. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      We're pretty p*ssed off right now. Especially those of us who captained him.

    3. Duffy Dunk
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      As a non owner for a few weeks now, it's been frustrating to see him all the time around -100% and not falling

  24. Zareos
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Keep Aguero or ditch? Can spread the wealth if I ditch...

    A. Aguero and Lallana (currently);
    B. Kane and Alli (possible); or
    C. Aguero and any 7.8 midfielder?

    I already have Phillips, Zlatan and Costa.

  25. KUNingas
    • 10 Years

  26. Jay_

      3. MTPockets
          9 years, 3 months ago

          A game too early.

      4. A Betting Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Chances of Tadic being a nice differential over the next few gameweeks? Versus Antonio for example...

      5. It’s gonna Ben Mee
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        A Hull goal would be perfect for THE game GW 24.
