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.

        9 years, 3 months ago

        True, just seems to be quite a few questions about it and could get a good discussion going in one place about the more popular options.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years

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

      You need to say Tom Carroll to avoid confusion

  7. Mayo for Sam
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Hazard to

    A Ali
    B Eriksen

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

      I want that answer too

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

      I went with Erik yesterday. Now i kinda want Alli too...

    3. Junior ⚽
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      A

    4. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Alli more likely to get goals and Eriksen assists but either great choices. I have both in team and Kane

  8. ihateramsey2
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    What this the final straw for Hazard?

    1. ihateramsey2
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      was*

    2. Tomcooper9
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I think so. Could be a 0.3 price drop before next gameweek. Frustrating when he gets no returns at home to Hull. Think il get rid tonight before his price drops.

    3. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      That camel's back has been broken for a LONG time

  9. Greenbackbøøg…
    • 11 Years

  10. F4L
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    A - Cahil, Coleman in a 4-4-2
    or
    B - Lukaku and Nyom in a 3-4-3?

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

    So play Alonso OR take a hit on Lallana to Alli? (Have Erik)

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Play alonso

  12. Clifford☯
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Hazrd to Alli for free. Do it right now before price changes overnight ?

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

      Have you already Eriksen?

      1. Clifford☯
        • 9 Years

    Repost, bottom of the last page.

    Two transfers and no money in the bank, any ideas here?

    Heaton
    Rose, Brunt, Baines, Jones
    Sanchez, Phillips, Alli
    Giroud, Costa, Ibra (c)

    Grant; Lallana, Chambers, De Roon

    Thanks!

    1. Parm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Are you confident in Giroud? If so then maybe Grant to Jakupovic? Or Lallana to Mirallas?

      1. Mind över Mata
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Good question. Recon Giroud deserves a stay of execution for the time being. The other options sound sensible but do you think Jaku will hold his spot?

        1. Parm
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Jakupovic should do, yes.

  14. super zlatan
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Best 6.5 midfielder to bring in that isn't Stanislas?

    1. Viper
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Mirallas or Philips

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

      Phillips

      1. super zlatan
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Thinking Phillips.
        Hate owning Mirallas. Had him earlier in the season.

    3. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      J Rod? Mirallas?

    4. HammersFan
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Lanzini

    5. Valar(Keith)
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Lanzini

  15. MY DJ NAME IS PIMP CURRY
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Don't hit me - Stones at 4.6 for 3 weeks might be a good buy

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      He didn't start last night.

    2. F4L
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      forget a hit, u deserve a punch for considering Stones

    3. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Don't you dare

  16. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Hazard > KDB? Wham, Swan, Bourn next!

    1. super zlatan
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Good option IMO

    2. Tomcooper9
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      That's likely gonna be my move tonight

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

      Considering it. Chasing 120 points down in a mini league and rival has no City coverage. Overkill tho if get KDB having Kun already?

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Hmm possibly! I ditched Kun this week!

  17. Dreams
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    So 55 points for me. How was your gameweek folks?

    1. Clifford☯
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      50 points.

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

      About the same. Depends on #BAPsgate

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Without looking, 56.

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        LMS cut?

      • Bunk Moreland
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        50 points after baps. I'll take that with Kun and Ibra blanking.

      • EmreCan Hustle
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

      • Dreams
        • 9 Years

        Thank God I didn't captain ibra. Alexis saved me.

        1. Postman Ty
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Ya, thank god I didn't captain Ibra. Hazard got me the safe 3 in the bag.

      • Viper
        • 16 Years

      • darthwader

        60 with BPS included. I have Holgate sat on the bench too. Gutted!

      • Tomcooper9
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years

      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I have Wilson (don't ask) home to Palace next week
      Great fixture but no form

      Crazy to sell, along with Hazard??

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

        I have him too. Got to keep for next week.

      2. Bunk Moreland
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        is he playing?

    7. jbenny1107
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Choose 4 to play:

      (1) Brunt (mid)
      (2) McAuley (mid)
      (3) Daniels (CRY)
      (4) Jones (HULL)
      (5) Alonso (liv)

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

        1245. Bournemouth somehow concede every match. Think Boro WBA will be a 0-0

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

        Or bench one

      3. AgentRed
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Brunt, Jones, Alonso

      2 FT, 4.5m ITB and no idea what to do. Any ideas?

      Heaton Robinson

      Giroud Ibra Crouch

      1. Sgt. Schultz
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Giroud > Costa
        Daniels > Baines/Coleman

    9. Winners900
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      What should we do with Lallana? Antonio inn?

      Got 1.6 in the bank.

      Thoughts? Already have Sanchez, Alli,Eriksen and Phillips.

    10. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Which 2 Spurs to get?

      A) Alli/Eriksen (for Hazard/Lallana)
      B) Alli/Kane (for hazard/Defoe or Giroud

      1. dhamphiir
        • 10 Years

        A

    11. darthwader

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Easy move! Giroud is garbage in my eyes! Should be dropped next game I thibk

    12. ihateramsey2
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Any objection to selling Hazard?

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

      1FT 1.1 ITB

      Grant
      Walker Chambers Alonso
      Sanchez Phillips Lallana Alli

      1. Les Bleus

      2. Cok3y5murf

      3. dunas_dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Probably keep another week for Watford at home then look at bringing in Lukaku

        1. Tomcooper9
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

    16. Spg76
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      1. BullDogTevez
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Cool story.

    17. Rolls-Royce
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Sold Hazard. Now its Kun's turn.

      1. Sgt. Schultz
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Kun > Costa

    18. Annie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Rondon and Hazard to Costa and Phillips seems sensible, but only have 1FT. Worth a hit?

      1. The Wise Owl
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Sensible enough.

      2. Cojiro
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Chelsea to Chelsea seems a bit sideways for a hit

        1. Annie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Hazard isn't doing anything so might as well play for Hull.

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

            They're currently on equal points for the season and hazard is cheaper

            1. 8ball
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 3 months ago

              Hazard not cheaper

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

                He will be after this week :p

      3. NestorC
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Not sure for the hit
