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.

    Come on Costa

  2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Alonso looks disappointed he hasn't scored yet

  3. Bubz

    This is rather terrifying viewing not owning Haz, Costa or Pedro

    1. Weilong7
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      a little.. couple of scary moments but hull doing rather well containing them

      I have all 3 and yet still share similar levels of anxiety!

    Gray should have minus baps for those tweets from four years ago.

    *writes to FPL*

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      9 years, 3 months ago

      Don't forget to add Kos should have minus for standing in offside for the pen.

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

        Added that to the bottom of the note

    Typical Hazard, playing well but will end up with 2 or 3 points

    1. My Name Is Prince
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Already sold

    Alonso getting better looks at goal than bloody Hazard. This is frustrating since Hazard is my captain.

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

    Book him!

    Just realised there's a bloke in my ML who has 0 playing keepers or defenders and has Carrick and Cleverly in his midfield!

    This worse thing about it is he's currently ahead of me! If there was ever a reason to quit FPL, this has to be it!

    1. Eden ACCOUNT CLOSED
      • 10 Years

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

    Hazard is a waste of money (in FPL)

  12. Ha.
    • 10 Years

    Costa doing a Son

  13. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    @YES WE CAN
    Rondon>Lukaku

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

    Do you get bps for crosses that don't reach a teammate?

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

      Seeing BPS from many games you get BPS for everything but scoring...

  17. Aston-villain

    2. Ha.

    5. Differentiator
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Same answer to both

      1. Les Bleus
        • 14 Years

    Where did his bonus go

    3 down to 1

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

      To Kosc

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

      All the time he gave the ball away

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

      It rightfully got deducted. Was pretty lame today. Hardly deserved 1 IMO.

    4. Weilong7
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      to be honest he didnt really do much.. blew 2 of the best chances in the game.. if not for the penalty he will probably get 2 compared to current 7.. sanchez capt here..

  19. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years

    1. Jebiga

  20. Shultan
