Dugout Discussion – Chelsea vs Hull City

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.

    Can someone help here.

    I'm in the cup still we are going to finish level on point and level on goals scored.

    The rules then states:

    'Fewest goals conceded in the Gameweek'

    What does this mean....by keeper and defenders only? Or are midfielders included?

      Walker/Rose. There are some games they will win 1-0 with a Wanyama goal for instance, so you definitely need one of their defenders.

    Sanchez - Alli - Lallana - Phillips - Fletcher

    Ibra - Lukaku - Giroud

    Already used 1FT on Haz--> Alli.... Would you make any other changes, Evans and Lallana going down in price, plus I don't fancy Lallana to get much against Chelsea... Would you take a hit?

    Evans --> Brunt
    Giroud --> Kane
    Lallana --> Eriksen
