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.

        Why? Consistent points are coming from the back with so many teams fielding wing backs.

        This form/fixtures based team leaves me with strong bench and 1.3 itb to swap out stronger picks each week

          Looking at the past 3 GW's and the coming fixtures this team could get you some serious points. Clean sheets and attacking potential. All of those defenders offer that. Id say go for it.

    - on Alexis’ panenka penalty
    Yeah it was cool - too cool!

    - on that being the first penalty he’s scored for Arsenal
    He’s missed penalties for us. He was in fact not the first penalty taker for us - it was Giroud. He was second, but as long as you score, you just have to accept it and say ‘well done’.

      Im thinking the same. I could ditch Kane for Costa and then upgrade Stanislas to Alli. Giving me good attacking threat from both teams. Im very tempted to do this tonight as i think Alli could go up in price, but Kane looks like he is on the up as well.
