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.

    A) Aguero ➡ Kane

        I have him and he's been frustrating recently, but he has really good fixtures coming up and I still have a gut feeling that he's going to start racking up a few assists and goals soon.

        ...... which means I'll probably be rage transferring him out in two weeks time - lol.

          He's hit the woodwork goodness knows how many times and I reckon these shots will start going in soon.

          Will have a punt on him as he is a decent differential.

        Any objections to Hazard + Holebas to Eriksen/Alli + Rose?

        Can't make any headway this season and gradually losing my ML.
        Hazard to Pedro /Antonio allows me to upgrade Defoe to Kane .

        Front 7 then of
        Sanchez,Alli,Philips,pedro/antonio
        Ibra ,Costa ,Kane.

        For free. Should I?

          No. Why remove Defoe?
