The day’s events draw to a close at the Vitality Stadium as leaders Chelsea bid to extend the gap at the top with Spurs breathing down their necks.

From a Fantasy perspective, Eden Hazard is now perhaps now the main draw in the Blues camp – he’s been acquired by over 94,000 FPL managers ahead of today’s deadline, while team-mate Diego Costa has been jettisoned from 103,000+ squads.

Costa is backed by more than 447,000 (10.1%) with the captaincy but has delivered just two goals in his last eight Gameweeks. Meanwhile, Hazard, for all his increase in popularity, has just a single goal from his last six away trips.

In defence, Chelsea have gone eight Gameweeks without delivering a clean sheet and will be tested severely by a lively Bournemouth attack on home turf.

Josh King is undoubtedly their key Fantasy asset – he’s produced five goals and an assist in his last five Gameweeks and 56,000+ have swooped for the Cherries midfielder ahead this evening’s encounter.

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

      Yep

    3. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years

      Deflate ur head it's going to pop

    6. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Yes

    7. My Name Is Pepu
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Sure, an overall score of 65 wouldn't be bad at all :p

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

      Ok, not good, far from great.

    9. mojoindojo
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Nope.

      I have 70 with Lukaku and valencia left and feel its below par this week....

    10. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Probably going to be near by quite a few this gw

  2. PURPLE-RONNIE
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 days ago

    Davies and Vardy to Kane and Stevens worth a -4 lads?

  3. Sterling is £11Mill..…
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 days ago

    Sanchez, walker, origi > Kane, coutihno and some cheapie defender from Leicester or hull. Good idea? Is coutihno ok only 45 mins? Did he start or come on

    1. JJeyy
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Keep sanchez, Cout came on and is ok

      1. Sterling is £11Mill..…
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 days ago

        Hmm well hopefully Sanchez does something tomorrow and I'm ok keeping him then

  4. Les Bleus
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 days ago

    I reckon this will be a popular question this week, but if you had triple Spurs in Davies and two of Eriksen/Alli/Son, would you take one out to fit in Kane? Or just roll with the same three this GW?

    1. nkhoughton
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Only change if you think someone will get Kane

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

        Don't understand.

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

          Thats mini league speak...meaning, if youre in a mini league you care about and are trailing/leading, you may want to 'block' by getting Kane (if others have him).

          Meaningless if mini league isnt a priority.

    2. Arn De Gothia
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      keep

    3. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      The question is will Poch go with the 4-5-1 again and just put Kane in for Jansen

  5. JJeyy
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 days ago

    Use 2FT's on:
    Vardy + Coleman ---> Kane + Yoshida

    Yes or No?

    1. Unbowed Unbent N'Golo
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Yes from me!

    2. jimmy.floyd
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Y

    3. Tomlette Greggs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      yes

  6. Unbowed Unbent N'Golo
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 days ago

    Costa & Brunt --> Kane & Holgate 2FT ?

  7. _Freddo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 3 days ago

    Anyone know if Mark sold Son?

    Notice Son didn't get the assist for Dier's goal.

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Yes he did

      1. _Freddo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 3 days ago

        Well what a surprise.....

        1. andy85wsm
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 3 days ago

          Took a deflection after the first rebound but I assume you probably already know

        2. Whazza
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 3 days ago

          It was never an assist though, Son owner here

      2. _Freddo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 3 days ago

        100% Son gets that if he still had him.

        Sepp Blatter wannabe.

  8. WVA
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 days ago

    Were Costas assists ridiculous?

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Flukey

    2. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Both unworthy but I'll take them 🙂

    3. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Heard on Talk sport it should have been costas goal

  9. We Will Klopp you
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 days ago

    Tempted to do Vardy and Vertonghen to Kane and Holgate now

  10. FCRS1991
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 days ago

    Heaton Grant
    Valencia Alonso BDavies McAuley Amat
    Sanchez Son Sane King Siggy
    Aguero Lukaku Crouch

    54 before baps with 3 to play

    0.8itb

    What would you do?
    Siggy out?
    Son out?
    Upgrade Crouch or play 3-5-2?

    1. Flynny
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Kun to kane?

      1. FCRS1991
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 days ago

        Is it worth to keep Kaku? Kun's schedule seems easier and looks like he's hitting form, plus one DGW

        1. Flynny
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 3 days ago

          Think I'd rather have kane...

          Kun is too expensive despite scoring....jesus will be back soon..

          And you don't need the weekly work about if pep will rotate him....

          1. FCRS1991

    Anyone activiating that WC?

    I might in a few hours.

    1. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Dont think so. I have 2 FTs and struggling with what to change!

      1. Lav
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 days ago

        Only 1 FT here with little money and could really shake up the team. Thats why I am doing it.

        Will be interesting to see your thoughts in your stream!

    2. Mark-O
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Just activated and preparing for dgw beyond 34

      Not that tempted to stack up Palace's defence.. seems right?

      1. Lav
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 days ago

        Correct. What was your team before WC? Want to compre with mine.

    3. c10™️ ⚽
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Whts ur WC team?

      1. Lav
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 days ago

        Unsure atm. Looking at frontline of

        Eden Alli Eriksen Sane King
        Kane Lukaku (Anichebe)

        1. Carlton P
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 3 days ago

          I WC for this week an that's almost my attack, except
          Haz > Sanchez
          Kane > Kun
          I'm happy with it

  12. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 days ago

    Costa to Kane tonight?

    1. My Name Is Pepu
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Absolutely!

    2. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      I'm doing it

  13. Darklord_bg
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 days ago

    So I got rid of Coutinho since he was a doubt to fund Costa to Aguero.

    That worked out well

    1. FCRS1991
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      As he was a major doubt I got rid of him and took a hit to bring in Sane 🙁

      1. Darklord_bg
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 days ago

        Ouch

        Thank God I did not also get rid of Alonso 😀

  14. My Name Is Pepu
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 days ago

    Captain Hazard delivered big time, 14 + 6 (BAPS), not bad at all eh?

    1. Whazza
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Meh

  15. sergioaguero67
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 days ago

    Is Yoshida nailed on for the DGW too?
    Or is Cedric the safe option?
    Please help.

    1. JJeyy
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      More nailed than stephens so yes

    2. My Name Is Pepu
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Yoshida was wearing the armband today, has been playing non stop despite that long flight back from Japan. He is very important to Southampton right now, and don't see any reason why he would be dropped/rested.

  16. JJeyy
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 days ago

    Captain Kane or Alli?

  17. My Name Is Pepu
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 days ago

    Have Spurs cover of Kane, Eriksen and Son for the Bournemouth game next weekend, good times 🙂

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Lol at no Alli

      1. My Name Is Pepu
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 days ago

        I had him for a long time, enjoyed his hauls when no one had him 🙂 Eriksen will SURELY outscore Alli from now till the end of the season IMO.

  18. andy85wsm
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 3 days ago

    Anyone not captaining Kane this week? 🙂

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

      If I don't have him, then me 😛

    2. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Spurs are playing the best football in the league atm. I suppose Lukaku is also tempting.

    3. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Best TC left of the bunch 😉

    4. Chris_H
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Not even sure I'll buy him. Just because he's back doesn't mean he scores a hat-trick

  19. I Have No Idea What I'…
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 days ago

    Kane price surely locked at 11.2 with the below rule?

    FPL Statistics: When a player is injured (0% chance of playing), suspended or unavailable his price can still change in value. However, once his status has changed (to fully available) his price will be "locked".

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

      Nope, someone at FPL put him first to 75% on Friday and then a bit later changed to available.

      1. I Have No Idea What I'…
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 days ago

        Really? I never saw that. I have to sign him tonight then. Thank you

      2. VS10_
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 days ago

        Probably because first Spurs just posted that Kane had returned to team-training and then quotes about him being in the squad came later.

  20. Arn De Gothia
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 3 days ago

    Spursfan!!!

    Now that Kane is back... Who dropps out?

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

      Same team as today minus Jenssen I would think.

      1. Arn De Gothia
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 3 days ago

        jesus im stupid... Thnx man

    2. A.J.
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Wanyama comes in if fit. Been outstanding all season and a Poch fav.

      1. Arn De Gothia
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 3 days ago

        THEN who dropps?

        1. A.J.
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 3 days ago

          Would be incredibly tough on Son but if he wants to go the wing back route again, he would be the one to make way.

          1. Pocky
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 3 days ago

            So they played 4-1-4-1 today??

            1. how now brown cow
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 3 days ago

              4-2-3-1

              Dembele and dier holding

          2. Arn De Gothia
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 3 days ago

            ok, so stay clear. Thankx a million and good luck

  21. Farke in hell

    when will chelsea stop conceding that 'one goal'?

    1. My Name Is Pepu
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      I love it, a lot of people have atleast one Chelsea defender. It helps your OR 🙂

  22. Feloh
    • 9 Years

    1. mojoindojo

  23. Alanaver

    2. FCRS1991

    5. Whazza

      Yes that is good. Hopefully you will learn soon that high points is good and low is bad.

    6. Darklord_bg
      • 9 Years

      Very funny 😀

  24. mojoindojo

    Costa Siggy to Kane Wally done for free.

    Gives me following team for next week. Undecided about def bench though.

    Heaton
    Alonso Valencia Alderweireld
    Wally King Eriksen Firminho

    Jaku Mawson Robertson Morrison

  25. Chucky
    • 12 Years

    erikson and vardy to zaha and kane for -4?

  26. Zareos
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 days ago

    I have Walker, Son and Alli. One needs to go and I'll need to save 1m for Lukaku to Kane.

    Walker and Lukaku to Gibson and Kane. Thoughts?

    1. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      I'd keep luk for next week's fixture.

  27. Godot - Fashanu Zealand
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 days ago

    Liverpool will make the top four.

    Y or N?

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

      Nope.

    2. woody3260
      • 12 Years

      fingers crossed.

    3. Lav
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Y

    4. My Name Is Pepu
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Nope!
      Chelsea
      Spuds
      Citeh
      4rsenal
      - top 4

    5. RedMarks 赤的
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Yes (just because i want to see Sanchez in blues shirt)

    6. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Yes

    7. Chris_H
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 2 days ago

      Yes. Today will give the team huge confidence.

      Arsenal have to win all three games in hand & have to play Spuds and Utd

      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Amazing. Well done!

  28. Whazza
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 days ago

    What's up this year with all the moaning about every "assist" and bonus points distribution...

    Yeah, I moan sometimes too, but Eriksen's "assist" last gw and Son's this gw were clear cases. Can't Son owners even be happy with 2G 1A instead of blaming Mark? Jesus.

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

      To be fair, my H2H will come down to 1 point. So every single point matters. I'm sure other Son owners are in the same boat.

      1. Whazza
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 3 days ago

        But it was never an assist if you know the rules. Clearly two deflections.

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

      Literally, every time someone complains, they are wrong and FPL gets it right.

  29. istanbul05
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 days ago

    Best option guys with 2FTs:

    A) Kun to Kane
    B) Kun and Llorente to Kane and Benteke
    C) Kaku and Siggy to Kane and Zaha

    Jaku, Grant,
    Alonso, Valencia, Davies, Evans, Amat,
    Sanchez, Alli, Cout, Siggy, Fletcher,
    Kun, Kaku, Llorente.

    Thanks

    1. Lav
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      B

    2. Unbowed Unbent N'Golo
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      B

    3. My Name Is Pepu
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 days ago

      Why sell Kun given the kind of form he's in? Don't see his goals stopping anytime soon!

      1. Stupendous
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 3 days ago

        He gets a goal and luckily a bonus here and there.

        Jesus back soon.

        He's basically 13m

      2. Sterling is £11Mill..…
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 days ago

        One goal a game aguero, it's not enough :(,he is the new costa

        1. My Name Is Pepu
          • 9 Years

          3 out of his last 4 games have been against Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool. You surely don't expect anyone to explode in those kind of matches really?
