Extended to Wednesday evening, Gameweek 27 rolls on with Monday night derby under lights at the London Stadium as West Ham host leaders Chelsea.

From a Fantasy perspective, there will be mixed emotions heading into tonight’s encounter, with more than 179,000 having sold Eden Hazard prior to this match, while Diego Costa was also shown the door by more than 156,000 managers.

In contrast, Pedro starts tonight having been heavily backed as a result of the fallout from Hazard, with the Spaniard taking 112,000 new owners into the Hammers clash.

Elsewhere in the Chelsea line-up, the performance from Cesc Fabregas will be under the microscope. He retains his start after producing 13 points against Swansea City in Gameweek 26: Fabregas has provided returns in five of his six Gameweek starts this season.

In defence, Chelsea have kept just two clean sheets from their last eight Premier League outings, after recording 10 shutouts in the previous 12.

That offers hope to the West Ham attack, which is tonight fronted by fit-again Andy Carroll who has scored five goals in his last three home London derby matches in the Premier League.

Fantasy managers will be looking for Carroll to come through tonight’s encounter unscathed following recent groin injury concerns, with the Hammers due to face the Bournemouth defence in Gameweek 28.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    • 16 Years

    Cue a hazard hattrick now after selling him

  13. fedolefan
    • 11 Years

    Ugh Hazard and Pedro. Where's Diego?

  14. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 10 Years

    Hazard you beauty

  15. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 25 days ago

    You can't have them all, get over it.

  16. matiakez
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 25 days ago

    Pedro is an absolute steal isn't he?

    Don't own him mind..

    1. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      I got him like 5 GW's. He's a steal when he's not rotated.

  17. I Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 25 days ago

    Pedro just keeps producing 😀

  18. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
    • 11 Years

    No-one has Hazard still anyway, so meh.

  19. liiusions
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 25 days ago

    Finally get Hazard out and he scores his first away goal ever for Chelsea

    1. matiakez
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      Yeah this.

  20. Lone Wolf
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 25 days ago

    Haz and Alli out for -8

    *logs off with stupid face*

  21. Ridcully
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 25 days ago

    Alonso's turn now.

  22. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 25 days ago

    Pedro is great value isn't he

    1. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      Much better value than Hazard for the returns.

    2. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      Love him. Position he plays is awesome. I'm just afraid he gets rotated.

  23. GGMU11
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 25 days ago

    Hazard and Alli to Siggy and Sterling -4 going well I see.

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      I feel your pain. Hazard & Costa > Sterling & Kun. Still hoping it pays off, sterling needs a goal though v stoke

    2. EDEN THE MAN
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      U f*cked up bad

      U better hope Sterling saves u

    3. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      At least Siggy plays next week (and a good fixture at that)

  24. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 25 days ago

    That hazard goal has given me a 40k rise in rank according to fffix

    1. fedolefan
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      Was your previous rank 40k?

  25. EDEN THE MAN
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 25 days ago

    Sanchez to Hazard or nah?

  26. twoplustwo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 25 days ago

    That's a quality goal

  27. The Big Fella
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 25 days ago

    Anybody watching? How is Alonso doing?

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      WHam have had ball most of game, so, not much...had one little run into box.

    2. Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      Well, almost got a chance, he is up there. Season keeper.

  28. Conk
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 25 days ago

    I think Pedro's minimal rotation risk is now far outweighed by his returns, maybe time to get him in after 28?

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      Yeah he looks like a 9.0 but priced at 7.1

    2. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      He and Sterling, despite tougher fixtures, are great value...Siggy too.

  29. Fred54
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 25 days ago

    Haven't owned Hazard since GW 20.

    Meh.

    Is the Ibra suspension all but confirmed now?

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 25 days ago

      He's guilty (Man U fan)...Expect it.
