Fresh from a comfortable 4-0 demolition of West Brom – their fourth successive Premier League victory – interest in Chelsea’s Fantasy assets is beginning to accelerate.
After a challenging opening schedule that pitted them against Spurs, Manchester City and Arsenal over the first seven Gameweeks, the Blues now enter the kindest window of their season’s fixture schedule.

can you go haz sane morata?
Who is the best Spurs D man long term? Thinking of getting Trippier in for Jones this week instead of Vert.
Long term Vertonghen perhaps? The wing backs will be rotated heavily over the next couple of weeks.
The Wingbacks of Tottenham are always rotating. Vertonghen or Sanchez is the safest option.
Too much of a rotation risk in Trippier. And Davies.
Vertonghen, if not Lloris.
Noted. Thanks.
Vertongen. But I really think Alderweireld will be a huge miss.
If you did Jones->Mustafi for free, would you play him and bench Tarkowski (ARS) ?
Ryan Elliot
Otamendi Jones Daniels Tarkowski Mbemba
Salah Sane Richarlison Gross Carroll
Kane Lukaku Morata
1 FT, 0.2 itb
Sure. Burnley defenders are good, but we need to to know when to bench.
And if you benching Mustafi vs Burnley you better not bring him in at all. 🙂
Play both bench Daniels?
Yes
1 FT
Bank 0.2
Foster
Daniels - Matip - Mee
Richarlision - Eriksen - Zaha - Sane
Jesus - Kane - Firmino
Subs: Elliot, T. Carroll, Jones and Rangel.
What do I do with Jones and Matip? Salah would really like to install, but I would like to keep Eriksen.
Can you help me? First of all I have to worry about the defense but I think..
Would definitely sell Eriksen for Salah, maybe funded by Jones downgrade.
Think Jones has to go, 2 gws in next week, then city and ars
yep he wont make it through the xmas period unscathed
DDG
Azpilicueta / Mee / Otamendi
Choupo-Moting / D.Silva / Richarlson / Salah
Vardy / Kane / Morata
Bench: Elliot, RLC, Duffy, Mbemba
0.1 itb 1FT any thoughts or save transfer???
Thanks
Save
Is Kompany a good shout now that he is back?
The consensus is that he'll be rotated with Mangala, with Otamendi nailed.
I can't see Mangala getting games, he is the worst option among City CBs. Stones, Otamendi and Kompany all ahead of him IMO
Oh yes, they're definitely ahead of him, but I don't think Pep will want Kompany to play every game, which only leaves Mangala.
If he stays fit, yes.
I'd stay away knowing his injury record
He likes headers though
Probably not compared with Otamendi for the same price, never thought I'd say that but there you go.
When all their CBs are fit, what is the first pairing? Otamendi and Kompany?
The improvement in Otamendi & Stones has made it tricky but you maybe right.
I would avoid personally
With Jones more than likely out for the weekend and probably a rotation risk over the coming period due to being injury prone, which defender would you get in for him:
Otamendi or Kolasinac?
Already have Mee and Alonso
Otamendy
Otamendi for me
Have Kola, and intend getting Ota for Jones. If I had your decision to make, it would be Kola, mainly because he is exciting to watch.
Thanks
Such a shame as far as I'm concerned that the likely aguero Jesus rotation don't fall well with my planned moves of shipping him out for gw14.. not sure I'd be comfortable ditching him when he's about to tear the saints a new one
Courtois + Mustafi vs Azpi + Speroni?
Azpi Speroni
Defining deision whether to splash the cash for one of the A's. Pretty much rules out Hazard in the short term for me- it's got to be two out of Morata , Hazard and Azpi/Alonso . If not downgrading Kane to cheapei, that is...
im thinking alonso and azp offer such good value that i might get both with morata and not get haz. there are a lot of mdf options in other teams
THat's my plan A as well. Pretty happy with midfield as it is. Would have to be one of the City mids - Silva probably - that woud have to go. But is Hazard better value? Maybe if factoring in captaincy
Alonso and Morata best choice imo. Hazard is great, but has more competition with other firing midfielders for lower prices(City mids, Salah, Pogba etc.)
My current midfield is Silva - Sané - Salah - Richarlison - Groß. Could do Silva -> Haz by downgrading in other areas. THe one thing about Haz, is he is captainable at least at home.
I wouldn't change that midfield just for Hazard, it's already amazing I think!
Served me pretty well last GW at least - just regretting not captaining Salah!
That's my midfield with the exception of Groß. I've thought about getting Haz in for Silva as well, but for me at least that would destroy the balance in my team
Yep, something gotta give. At least as long as still sticking with Kane ....
Anyone with a worse defence this GW?
Valencia - too expensive considering no attacking threat
Mee - Arsenal (H)
Duffy - United (A)
Lascelles - most likely dead
Kiko - potentially dead
WC?
Too early.
Similar - I've got Lowton and Dunk, who are the poor man's Mee and Duffy! Also got Jones to your Valencia.
I do have Charlie Daniels though so it's not all bad.
Yes:
Luiz - WTF happened here
Jones - dead
Ward - ARS
Bavies - rotation
Otamendi - my saving grace
Bavies should start on the weekend as Rose played 90 mins in the CL last night
I badly need this man. I hope you're right.
My def isn’t looking too appealing either with Daniels the only exception this week:
Mee - playing Arsenal
Naughton - Swansea suck
Dunk - Likely to concede 3+
Morono - May not even get the start after his horror show last night
Morono Jones Stones hunemei(something) and Ward
Morono Jones Hunemeier Ward Duffy
Which team would win in a general football game?
Sane—-Kane—-Salah
Eriksen—Kante—KDB
Azpi—Vertonghen—Alderweild—Walker
DDG
Or
Hazard—Lukaku—Sanchez
Coutinho—Matic—-Pogba—
Alonso—Bailly—Stones—-Bellerin
————Lloris——————
Kante allways wins
A
B - shite defence and selfish players in Sanchez and co
Yes I agree. A is much more balanced
A has better defence. But I do love Sanchez and Hazard.
Team 3 would be...
Mane—-Aguero—-Alli
D.Silva—Dier—Lallana
Kola—Sanchez—Jones—Valencia
Courtois
A for is basically the best team in the league, just without Hazard
This
A very easy. Only Hazard in B team is player who would find regular place in A team. And Pogba maybe
So glad I got Alonso on Wildcard.
I can't read the article, and have Azpi but damn that hair is luscious
Viva Alonsooooo 😎
I plan to move Aguero & Sterling to Morata & Pogba over the next 2. Which should I do this week?
Pogboom
Neither
Do you think Aguero & Sterling will start then?
Easy, Pogba. Man Utd have an easier game than Chelsea.
Is this worth a hit?
Jones -> Alonso
Luiz -> Duffy
Team currently is:
Pope / Eliot
Otta / Bavies / Jones* / Ward / Luiz*
Silva / Sterling / Salad / Richar / RLC
Kane / Morata / Tammy
not if luiz plays
Unfortunately I don't think he will. I've given him 2 weeks, 5.9 too much to have sitting on the bench in a scarf!!!
Yes. Alonso can haul and cancel out the hit in one game.
No
Why?
Can you wait a week or do one this one next that's what I'd do
I badly want to wait but with Jones definitely out, it might be the right time to shift him for a hit and bring in Alonso for his run. It's a long term hold.
Fab (elliot)
Jones daniels ward (davies mebmba)

I want pogba. Whats the best way to get him?
A Jesus & cork -> wilson & pogba
B Gross & davies -> 4.5 def & pogba
C Other
A
Only taken 2 transfer hits this season so far...but looks like this week will have to be number 3.
I take one almost every week. Live a little.
nah...too much fiddling is not the way for me. Doing well with less transfer business. But too many injuries piling up this week. Still will wait for more news on Thurs/Fri.
Love a fiddle. Heard it makes you blind though.
Exactly...good to have balance and keep your sight 😀
No prizes for the least hits unfortunately
No, but it's working to get higher in the rankings...
Transferring Jones out, budget of 5.5:
A. Mustafi
B. Maguire
C. Other
Only reason hesitant to go for Mustafi is the GW15 fixture with United where several of my other defenders also have tough fixtures.
Thoughts?
United like to keep it a tight game in those sort of fixtures, could still be worth it maybe
A
Cheers fellas
Who to play:
A) Elliot (WAT)
B) Fabianski (BOU)
1) Mee (ARS)
2) Naughton (BOU)
Currently on A2..
Monreal, Eriksen, Jesus to Alonso, Pogba, Morata?
I like it but not for this week...
Next week?
God not this week!
If you hate points
Im wildcarding,
Elliot XXX
Daniels Otamendi Yedlin Mee YYY
Hazard Sane Salah Richarlison RLC
Kane Morata Niasse
Speroni + Azpi or Courtois + Mustafi ?
9 of 15 from my team. Want to do Jesus to Morata but should maybe wait one more week?
Speroni and Azpi just edges it.
Wildcard so it's now or never :>
just wait, jesus should play
Not sure about Niasse when he's actually already banned...
I have him (and will keep) but got him last GW. Don't really see the logic in buying a player guaranteed not to play the next two games. DCL?
Otherwise looks good. Either option solid, not a massive fan of the 4.0 double up so probably C+M
Ye, true. Niasse is banned, but it's just until next weekend, so its doesn't feel so bad in a way. Mostly enabler, may cause a problem later on tho.
Is it the right to pick Haz + RLC over Pogba + Silva?
Yeah, the issue is if he doesn't get back into the team.
That's a toughie. If you're going 4-4-2 most of the time then Haz + RLC. If you're more likely to play 3-5-2 then Pogba and Silva gives you a formidable midfield 5
True. I dont belive so much in pogba or united, and has som though fixtures coming up. hmm
I've never been sold on him either, but was hurting at the start of the season!
Niasse worth getn in wc when he got 2 games bann?
Not sure, it's only until next weekend.
Another thing to note with Alonso. If Conte sticks with the 3-5-1-1 then for the easy home games Alonso will basically be playing LW, particularly in GW14&15 should Swansea & Newcastle sit so deep.
Captain time
Fab & Jones > Speroni & Ota?
Yay? Or Nay?
Good move
Jones is out anyway, then fixtures stiffen a bit, yes, do it.
Nice one!
Feels nice to have had alonso for weeks and now watch peoplr scramble for him!
Had him since week 1 could never get round to getting rid
