We make our way to Stamford Bridge this evening as Chelsea entertain Middlesbrough in the penultimate match of Gameweek 36.

The league leaders boast two of the top five most selected captains โ€“ Diego Costa and Eden Hazard have been handed the armband by 10.5% and 6.8% respectively against a Boro defence thatโ€™s shipped four goals in each of their last two road trips.

Costa delivered a season-high 16 points in his previous home appearance and is second only to Manchester City’s Gabriel Jesus for transfers in up top ahead of the Bluesโ€™ Double Gameweek 37 against West Brom and Watford.

Hazard, meanwhile, has served up returns in seven of his previous eight league outings and produced six of nine double-figure returns in front of his own supporters.

Sold by over 144,000 FPL managers after blanking in both Double Gameweek 34 appearances, Alvaro Negredo returned to form with a goal and assist in last weekโ€™s 2-2 draw with Man City.

Having found the net in three of his last six matches, the Spaniard looks the likeliest to breach a backline that picked up its first clean sheet in 12 attempts at Goodison Park last time out.

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

    2. Messiah Hazard
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 17 days ago

      The first game will most likely be played by regular starters

      1. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 17 days ago

        So wise. Will Fabregas play?

      2. Disco Pat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 17 days ago

        He'll get game time in the first game and start the second

  4. Team Cruel

    • 10 Years
    9 years, 17 days ago

    Hazard, Pedro, Kane > KDB, Cesc, Costa -12?

    1. the snazzy viking
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 17 days ago

      Never

    2. Messiah Hazard
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 17 days ago

      Nay

    3. Guvnor
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 17 days ago

      Nope

    4. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 17 days ago

      Hazard and Pedro could outscore most DGers at West From.

    5. The Architect of Anarchy
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 17 days ago

      Go for it

  5. Optimus.
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 17 days ago

    The Cesc' is on fire

  6. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 17 days ago

  7. liiusions

  8. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 17 days ago

      good

  9. Disco Pat
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 17 days ago

    My original plan of alli and eriksen out for KDB and Cesc for the coming dgw after spurs lost to West ham doesn't look like those transfers will be on the under the radar.

  10. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 17 days ago

    Hazard and Pedro likely to be subbed now IMO

  11. The Big Fella
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 17 days ago

    Fab is definitely getting 3BPS

  12. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 17 days ago

    Alonso on 3 paps as it stands

  13. Ógie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 17 days ago

    Costa down and he is not faking it this time

    1. the snazzy viking
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 17 days ago

      very good indeed

    2. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 17 days ago

      Good. Wish him the worse

  14. seanraggettheader
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 17 days ago

    BB Activated, 1.5m ITB, 1 FT. Need to make up about 30 points in ML so probably worth odd risk. Probably getting rid of Boro the prio but means you don't get the best assets. Defence has been a mess for last few weeks.

    Courtois, Jaku
    Yoshida, Valencia, Brunt, Robertson, Gibson
    Sanchez, Alli, Sterling, Zaha, De Roon
    Kane, Gabbi, Lukaku.

    I'm thinking probably keep Kaku just because it's a good fixture and more pressing concerns. Possible:

    Jaku > Willy
    De Roon > Albrighton
    Valencia > Kompany

    (-8, 0.1 left).

  20. Uncle Gamst
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 17 days ago

    The banter regarding dubious assist & goals is, for me, all part of the fun that is FF.

    The conspiracy theories (whether it's FLP Towers or Mark) and the furious exchanges between owners and non-owners just adds an extra layer.

    Does anyone really believe that 'Evil Mark' has any influence?

    As an aside does anyone remember the Bap Man an eagerly awaiting his pronouncements?

    1. Hect.OR 98th
      • 16 Years
