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.

    Did I make any mistakes with my WC? I only pressed the button yesterday
    Valdes Pickford

    Bailly a risk?

    1. Boey Jarton
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 hours ago

      Bailly should be nailed on as a starter as both Smalling and Jones are out for a long time. Some rotation is a slight risk if they get to EL semis and top 4 hopes are gone.

      1. Carlton P
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 hours ago

        Cheers, didn't realise they were both out
        Wouldn't mind Bailly being rested tomorrow... Yoshida (9) first sub

    Who scores more in the coming GWs:

    A) Negredo, Tadic, Walker

    B) Eriksen, Zaha, PVA

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 hours ago

      C) Eriksen, Tadic, Vertonghen

      1. PvA
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 hours ago

        Just saw your reply over the page, it's an interesting option, but not a fan of having Negredo on the bench

    2. Blame it on Traore

    Premier League goals this season:

    ⚽ Harry Kane, Dele Alli & Heung-Min Son: 46

    ⚽ Manchester United: 43 🙁

      Spurs are so good, its not fair.

    3. FPL Virgin

      They have a much better manager, that's why.

    Mark getting King in for Carroll #Jammy

    1. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 hours ago

      He hadn't lost all his luck then

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 hours ago

      I was hoping Carroll would sub on but alas he didn't.

    3. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 hours ago

      Yes, my ML rival as well, hate it. Always have been in favour of the idea that points from your benched should only count as half a point, so those King points would be 4.5 for those who benched him

    4. The Gambler.
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 hours ago

      Granville will be cursing

    5. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 hours ago

      Sold Son though.

  4. Reggie Nainggolan
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 hours ago

    So Pedro hasn't worked. Thought he was a good cover for hazard smh

    1. Carlton P
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 hours ago

      If no other problems ship, maybe for wally

    2. Chucky
      • 12 Years

      Are you getting rid? Am keeping for United

    3. Reggie Nainggolan
      • 9 Years

      If I wilcard I might shift

  5. Speédy

    Something going wrong
    Didnt have kun this week
    Planning to not have kane next week

  6. PvA
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 hours ago

    RP

    Pickford (Valdes)
    Alonso, Walker, Valencia (Yoshida, Kone)
    Sanchez, Alli, Siggy, Tadic (Capoue)
    Ibra, Lukaku, Negredo

    Would you take a -8 for:

    Negredo, Tadic, Capoue, Walker ➡ Barnes, Eriksen, Zaha, PVA

    Becoming 352:

    Pickford (Valdes)
    Alonso, Valencia, PVA (Yoshida, Kone)
    Sanchez, Alli, Eriksen, Siggy, Zaha
    Ibra, Lukaku (Barnes)

    1. Carlton P
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 hours ago

      What? Just no
      A -8 that doesn't involve getting Kane and dgw players is a terrible idea

      1. PvA
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 hours ago

        Zaha and PVA have DGWs mate

        And I'm not ready to take Lukaku or Ibra out for Kane

        1. Carlton P
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 hours ago

          Negredo has a good dgw and tadic could come good
          I would go king over zaha, 1 less game but fixtures are so much better
          Anichebe over Barnes?

  7. Rover
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 hours ago

    Jaku / Pickford
    Walker / Valencia / Gibson / Friend / Mawson
    Sanchez / Alli / Siggy / Zaha / de Roon
    Kane / Ibra / Kaku

    Freeze on this for 33 and then Jaku > Hennessey for BB in 34 followed by WC in 35?

  8. TSILIKAFENEIAKOS
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 hours ago

    Siggy to Son, no hits

    or

    Aguero, Siggy -> Alli, Kane ? [-4]

    Actually didn't watch Spurs, how did Kane look? Do we think playing will affect Son?

    Front 8 are :

    King Alexis Siggy Coutinho Eriksen
    Lukaku Kun Carroll

    1. Blame it on Traore
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 hours ago

      The latter for me

  9. Syd.
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 8 hours ago

    Walker getting benched on a regular basis is becoming a bit of a pain in the arse

    For that kind of money you expect a nailed on starter

    1. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 hours ago

      I wouldn't give a toss if I were you 🙂 Well done sir.

      1. Syd.
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 8 hours ago

        Thanks but it is still somewhat annoying that Walker is getting benched in the easier fixtures

    2. fiveyears
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      I wasn't surprised by the int break rotation but today was unexpected

  10. Danno - Emre Canada
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 hours ago

    Any decent 6.5m midfielders outt there for the DGW and rest of the season (already have Zaha) cheers

    1. Whazza
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 hours ago

      DGW mids for 34 are a nightmare.. Basically just Zaha

  11. Sif
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 hours ago

    59 from 7
    No blanks 😀
    Was hoping for a bigger green arrow though. Liverpool mids & Aguero scoring nerfed it a bit.

  12. AdamB
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 hours ago

    Ibra --> Kane then Kane --> Ibra for GW34 seems like the simplest way to put it.

    1. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 hours ago

      Think you try and just keep Kane when you get him back in.

      Decent enough fixtures, good team form, pens, DGW eventually

      1. Carlton P
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 hours ago

        This

  13. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Time to get rid of Walker?

  14. Ange Ball

    9 years, 8 hours ago

    Please can you pick on you reckon will get most points over next 2 gws I'm wildcarding gw35 I will be taking minus 8 this evening .

    A) Lukuka Kane De Roon
    B) Kane Hazard Holgate
    C) Lukaku Anichebe Kane
    D) Anichebe Kane Lingard

    Thank you to those who reply have good evening all.

  15. Point-one short

    Shouldn't kane be price-locked? Showing as +101.9 on fplstats...

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 hours ago

      Yellow flag to available means no protection.

      1. Point-one short
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 hours ago

        Ah, thought he was red-flagged

  16. fedolefan
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 hours ago

    Three questions:
    A) Is Son getting an assist for the second goal?
    B) Is Aguero's goal going to be an own goal for the Hull defender/keeper?
    C) Is King's goal going to be an own goal for Luiz?

    Think all answers are not what I'm hoping for. 🙁

    1. Karan_G14
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 hours ago

      No
      No
      No

  17. Karan_G14
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 hours ago

    Who to transfer out to free 3rd Spurs spot?

    A) Alli
    B) Eriksen
    C) Walker

    Leaning towards Walker and triple up on Spurs attack.

    Appreciate your thoughts!

    1. BellyKlopp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 hours ago

      walker if you then have 3/4 decent defenders

    2. Ange Ball
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 hours ago

      B

      1. Karan_G14
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 hours ago

        He'll be assisting Kane now.

    3. Carlton P
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 hours ago

      A, get yoshida/mustafi

    4. Blame it on Traore
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 hours ago

      Has to be Walker given that he isn't even playing!

  18. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 hours ago

    I hope the guy who changed Kane's red flag to yellow gets all his players sent off and end up losing all his MLs by 1 point. He has created a right mess.

  19. The Gambler.
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 8 hours ago

    Kane was red flagged this morning wasn't he? So price protected?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 hours ago

      Red then yellow then available.

    2. MTPockets
        9 years, 8 hours ago

        No. Which is pretty annoying.

    3. BellyKlopp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 hours ago

      Kane or Ibra? (Have alli and eriksen)

      1. Iceball
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 hours ago

        Ibra next 2 weeks

    5. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      43 after baps with De gea Valencia Sanchez Vardy Ibra(c) left good or not?

    6. Pocky
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 hours ago

      Walker owners...what's going on? Trippier was brilliant (again). Before today I was thinking Son would be the one of my Spurs 3 to go to make way for Kane, but now I might have to shift Walker.

      1. Karan_G14
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 hours ago

        Keep Son. Get rid of Walker imo.

      2. Iceball
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 hours ago

        Um tempted by getting Bailly as á punt before WC gw35

      3. Ange Ball
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 hours ago

        Walker will come good next game week. Poch likes to give players a rest when he can

        1. fedolefan
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 8 hours ago

          Yeah, they will concede next week and he'll get 2.

      4. fedolefan
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 hours ago

        Yeah, terrible luck. 10 points wasted at least and so much cash tied up.

        1. Pocky
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 8 hours ago

          It's worked out so far for me as Yoshida has come in for him both times, but that luck ain't gonna last forever.

    7. ManUtdFan_UK
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 hours ago

      Heaton, (Pickford)
      Alonso, Valencia, Davies (Evans, Chambers)
      Sanchez, Alli, Eriksen, Coutinho, Zaha
      Ibrahimovic, Lukaku (Barnes)

      1FT, £0.3m ITB.

      Best way to get Kane (involving taking Davies out)?

    8. Gruu
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 hours ago

      What should i do with Origi? Sturidge is back to the team

      Grant Jaku
      Valencia BDavies Stephens Robertson Chambers
      Sanchez Alli Eriksen Siggy Zaha
      Aguero Lukaku Origi*

      1FT, 0.2m ITB

      1. GertJan
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 hours ago

        Origi still ahead of him in the pecking order. Pool just have a lot of injuries and 3 games in 6 days is a lot. Firmino - Origi - Coutinho should be the frontline next week. 😉

    9. EL_FENOMENO
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 hours ago

      54 with Lukaku Ibra and Sanchez left. Not that bad, not that great either

    10. Who Ate All Depays?
      • 12 Years

      When is Rose expected back?

      1. GertJan
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 hours ago

        Presumably end of April.

    11. Chucky
      • 12 Years
