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 are Sky Sports showing HULL rather than HUL? Or am I imagining that this is different to normal?

      Yeah you're not alone on that, it looks weird.

    2. Ha.

      Good observation.

      Do they sometimes show MANU?

    3. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      9 years, 3 months ago

      You're confusing Sky with FPL.

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

        No I'm not.

      Yeah, im.probably not going to be able to sleep tonight, just thinking about it

      Wow this is really winding me up now

      Guys in the control room sucking on a reefer trying to fk with your head 🙂

    Hopefully the ref forgets to add all those minutes on at the end

    1. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
      • 11 Years

      Refs have made more ridiculous errors than this today

    2. internal error
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Depends on who the ref is

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Hopefully it's the same guy who didn't see the push on Sterling

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

      Judging by the referering this season I think there is a bigger chance he adds on 20 minutes.

      It is a cold day, they will have been on the pitch a hour a since they came out of the tunnel then

  3. Sweetboi
    • 10 Years

    Hull very much improved for sure, can't wait for their fixtures to turn.

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

      Winning goal points still to be added though surely.

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Think theyve been added

    6. Sweetboi
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Winning goal though right?

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

      OMG, what nonsense. What's worse is Koscielny got 3.

    8. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      The Opta boys all captained Hazard.

    9. Jafooli
      • 14 Years

      Filth

    10. Fred54
      • 11 Years

    11. Gnu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Hmmm, slightly odd.

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

    The PL feels fairly settled. Seems unlikely that any team will surpass Chelsea.

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      There's a very long way to go.

  6. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Chelsea under the cosh 😛

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

    That should be -3 on the BPS

  8. KOLASINA(C)
    • 10 Years

    Sanchez on 1 BAP, what a joke.

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

      What did he do apart from match winning penalty?

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        What did Koscielny do except win the match winning penalty?

      9 years, 3 months ago

      Hull will do well to keep 11 men on the park.

      1. Jay_
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Timing bruh

        Erikson Vs Alli

        Can anyone convince me either way??

        Erikson seems to be more typicle fantasy managers pick. Thoughts??

        1. Bubz
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          I have Eriksen but would prefer Alli. The guy is a phenom

          1. Tommyg
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 3 months ago

            Is that based upon what you have seen or just your own favorite?

            1. Bubz
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 3 months ago

              Well he scores a lot of goals

              1. Tommyg
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 16 Years
                9 years, 3 months ago

                Ha. Good point. Well made.

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

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

          I might double up. Have Alli now.

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

          Alli scores, Eriksen assists. Goals are worth more.

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

      5. Wilshere Knowledge
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Pedro has taken corners from Hazard.

      6. Rainer
        • 9 Years

        Jaku tekkers

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

        Damn, Alexis down to 1 bap has kinda ruined my mood.

        1. VS10_
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          He always loses some at the end.

      8. Lallana_
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        For those complaining about the bonus...be fortunate. Arsenal were lucky to get that pen at the end.

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

          Be fortunate?

        Moses is a corner winning beast

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

        Pedro on corners, what a hero.

      11. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years

      12. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Pedro on corners both sides 😮

      13. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Alonso close.

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

        Alonso close 🙁

      15. Rainer

                9 years, 3 months ago

                really? I was looking Giroud & Hazard to Barkley & Costa. Leave me cash for Carroll to Lukaku

          • Krul Runnings
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 3 months ago

            I think so.

            His replacement is the tricky bit. If I had 0.1 more I'd probably buy kdb

          • Jamin
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 3 months ago

            I will. In fact he will have to score big to stay my executioner's axe

        2. PvA
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Is Sanchez going to get more BPS after getting the winning goal?

          1. Bubz
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 3 months ago

            Dont think so

          2. diesel001
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 3 months ago

            No

        3. Bubz
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Alonso is a beassst

        4. Atimis
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          What's about this Sanchez on 1BPS ?

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

          Can't make up my mind. Please help.

          A) Manchego
