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.

    Space close to Costa brace. Should have scored.

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

    Why doesn't Fab start?

  3. LC1

    Hazard & Defoe to Eriksen & Lukaku for -4? Can only afford to do it tonight before hazard price drop?

    1. jpb333
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      sounds good

    2. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Do it

  4. Stimps
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    Triple up on spurs attack and get eriksen in? Or get Liverpool coverage?

    1. BENOIT
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Neither

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      have both? like me.

    3. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Not big on triple attack- but hard to find quality nailed on mids lately. Everton, City, Arsenal, Man U, and even Chelsea rotate too much. With Hazard out of form- lots of limits. Go for it

  5. afcblegend
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Fabregas is one hell of a player to bring off the bench

  6. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Lulz should get 3 baps just for the banter

  7. Rh4ziel
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    David Luiz close

  8. JogaSemmedo
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Hazard & Carroll > Lukaku & Barkley. Yay or Nay?

    1. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Not sure on Barkley and Carroll just braced

  9. TheBusDriver
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Can Chelsea stop keeping clean sheets?

  10. tm245
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Just keep it in play so Diego gets another.

    1. tm245
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Nope.

  15. Les Bleus
    • 14 Years

  16. davies
    • 11 Years

  18. Crow

    I can do hazard negredo to eriksen and lukaku for perfect money, won't be able to tomorrow after drop. Yay or nay?

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years

    2. The Big Fella
      • 9 Years

  19. Ravager
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

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

    nice (as costa/hazard non-owner), can just chill out and watch the game now

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Sit back and watch alonso's brace

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

        that would be perfect 🙂

  21. EDEN THE MAN
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Hazard to Eriksen
    -4??

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Not for me. Liverpool aren't known for their defence

  22. henryleeds
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Haz, Daniels, Giroud > Antonio, Baines, Costa (-4)?

  23. BENOIT
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    What do people think of Mkhityran for the upcoming run of fixtures?

    Tempted to bring him or Chadli in....

    If I went Chadli, I'd have 3m to upgrade elsewhere!

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Mhki is rubbish pick for the price. Ibra only Man U attack worth it

  24. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Ake wondering what on earth he is doing there.

    1. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      He will get his chance after more training

  25. Kiwivillan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Hazard deserves to triple drop. 2 goals and 3 assists in 10 games/11 game weeks

    1. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah it's time to say goodbye. Can't remember him having one shot today.

  26. makaveli123
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Give Hull a consolation goal

  27. bobbysmith76
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Hazard + Negredo > Lanzini + Costa (-4)? I can bench Lanzini at city too

    1. Crow
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I did lukaku+eriksen, but that looks good too

  29. Shultan
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Will costa even get 2 bonus now? Once the minus baps are added for being offside & that miss

    1. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Going to be close. He still has winning goal bonus to add.

      1. Sess!
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        He still has a chance for 3 tho

    2. Bubz
      • 12 Years

      Winning goal

    3. TorresMagic™

    • 10 Years

    Haz to Alli done to catch the rise and Sun Boro fixtures

    1. NATSTER
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I'm still not sure if I should get Alli or Kane.

      1. Eden ACCOUNT CLOSED
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Alli is a greedy man, perfect for FPL

      2. Wetdream
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Get both....

        1. NATSTER
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          One place left. Eriksen + Walker are in the team.
