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.

        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Don't need to concentrate ppl into Aguero, Ibra and Kane

    These Chelsea muppets have been trolling me all season. Just wrap up the league and get on your holidays already.

      +1. Fooking Diego Costa. Hope China takes him away.

    If one of King or Alonso get 6+ here I'll take it.

        9 years, 4 months ago

        Resisted Eriksen.

        It was tough.

      The visible finger.

  6. JÆKS ⭐

    My biggest fpl trolls this year: Kane + Hazard
    My most reliable fpl player: Lukaku

    Who would have thought that at the beginning of the season! 😀

  7. Make United Great Again
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Hazard or Sanchez that is the question

    1. itwaswritten
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Sánchez is the answer. No bias, facts only.

    2. pundit of punts
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Both 😎

  8. fedolefan
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    May be time for that Sanchez to Hazard transfer.

    1. Individual
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Haha is it November again ??

    2. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Def keeping Sanchez another week, with Chelsea vs Manu ahead

      1. fedolefan
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah, I'll probably do the same.

    3. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Hazard being at Old Trafford is very off putting.

  9. makaveli123
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Funny how Costa is no. 1 in the "Can't Hit A Barn Door" table.

  10. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Costa shot was hitting the corner flag.

    Owners lucky to get an assist.

    1. Lawrø
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      It was actually an intercepted pass to Alonso who would've whipped the ball back in for Costa to tap in... I'd see we're unlucky not to get a Costa goal, Alonso assist tbh

  11. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Costa shooting is much to be desired

  12. LewanGOALski
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Aguero owners,
    are you getting Kane in for him for the next GW?

    Yes?
    No?

    1. SUPERMAN
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Done already

    2. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Think I'm going to give Aguero another week

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

      Yes, tonight.

    4. THE Wild Rover
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      No. Selling Costa

    5. drughi
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      maybe

    6. La Vida Latte
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Dont think so

    7. Live Lad
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Definite no

    8. Arn De Gothia
      • 16 Years

  14. Lizard Lips
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Think I've owned Hazard for 10 games and got 1 goal and 1 assist out of him lol

    1. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      ...yep, this happened to me too.

  16. Dreams

    Bendtner scored an own goal.

  17. DantheManinaPan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Think I'm going to WC... Gonna go for a front 7 of Aguero, Costa, Kane, Alli, Eriksen, Coutinho, Hazard... Looks deadly and hopefully will stop my constant red arrows... That said, haven't considered DWGs fully...

    1. EL_FENOMENO
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Costa? No thank you

      1. DantheManinaPan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Why not?

        1. Dannyb
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          He's having been awful might have something to do with it.

        2. EL_FENOMENO
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Ibra/Lukaku far better picks IMO

          1. DantheManinaPan
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Forgot about Lukaku - that leaves me more money for defence as well. Thanks 😛

    2. Mark-O
      • 11 Years

      3 Spurs attack?!

      1. DantheManinaPan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        why not?

      2. Business Cat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        That's the dream ticket at the moment...scoring for fun

  18. sunzip14
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Had that rebound not been deflected by Courtois's leg, King would have had a tap in.

  19. TheTinman
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Gayle is made out of paper. Definitely not an option next year

  20. @ocprodigy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    I own Costa and Hazard 😎

    1. itwaswritten
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Costa didn't score though. It's counted as Adam Smith own goal.

  21. tractorboy1

    9 years, 4 months ago

    A repost from other thread...

    Mignolet (Grant)
    Baines McAuley Rojo BDavies (Chambers)
    Alli Firminho Redmond Siggy (Fraser)
    Lukaku Aguero (Llorente)

    No spare cash. 2FT. Considering one of the following. Though loathe to ditch Lukaku before Burnley at home...

    a) Mignolet Aguero -> DdG Kane/Ibra
    b) McAuley Aguero -> Valencia Kane/Ibra
    c) Fraser Aguero -> Zaha Kane/Ibra
    d) Lukaku -> Kane with downgrade of Siggy (Zaha maybe)
    e) Get rid of Siggy and Llorente
    f) Wait to see what happens the rest of the weekend...

  22. Who Ate All Depays?
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Should I WC this team....need to get rid of few frustrating players?

    Grant
    Walker / Alonso / Valencia
    Sanchez / Alli / Lanzini / Coutinho
    Aguero / Lukaku / Origi
    (Pickford / Brunt / Fletcher / Amat)

    1. Differentiator
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      no

    2. Vedas
      • 10 Years

      Don't see the need for a wc, nothing 2-3 transfers can't fix.

  23. Feloh

    hazard redcard please, or penalty miss.

    1. Pique boo
      • 9 Years

      no

      1. We Will Klopp you
        • 9 Years

        yes

  24. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Costa trying to give all the Bournemouth defenders own goals

  25. Fred54
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    So the Arsenal DGW news was supposed to have dropped yesterday, more likely to break on Monday now?

  26. itwaswritten
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Chelsea is 1st because they have only 1 English player in their starting team.

    1. THE Wild Rover
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Did you go to idiot school or are you a natural?

      1. itwaswritten

        The anger... LMAO!

        1. makaveli123
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Just read an article about internet slang. "Lmao" is the most used word by kids between 14-16.

        Calm down WR... This guy is always around giving reasoned in depth opinions throughout the week, as well as flaunting his intelligence on weekends 😉

    2. Vedas
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Why weren't they first last season then?

      1. itwaswritten
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        They have a better coach now.

        1. Business Cat
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          ...so surely that means they're first because they have a better coach this year...given the team is basically the same as last year.

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

      Costa?

    4. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Two Dave's & a Gary holding it together say different 😉

    5. Pique boo
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Makes sense

    6. Dreams
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      By your logic, spurs should have only 2 which is not the case.

  27. fedolefan
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Think I'm just going to ignore the GW34 DGW and get the big hitters in. Can't get big hitters and useless fodder like Zaha and Boro defenders without major hits.

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Brought Gibson for today and he got me 8 points. 😉

      1. fedolefan
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        No WC though for me.

  28. Sess!

    44pts with pickford, Sanchez, Lukaku and ibra (c) to come. How am I looking?
