Saturday’s matches conclude at Stamford Bridge with champions Chelsea hosting relegation-threatened Crystal Palace.

There is plenty of interest from a Fantasy perspective, with Willian heading into the encounter as the third most signed player ahead of today’s deadline.

He has over 100,000 new owners and boasts three goals and three assists from his last five Gameweek starts, one of which was a 32-minute appearance at Watford.

The Brazilian is now in 11% of Fantasy Premier League squads, which surprisingly dwarfs the 7.6% recorded by team-mate Eden Hazard.

The Belgian will be fancied ahead of this evening’s kick-off, having scored six goals in his last eight Gameweek starts. He has been spared the false nine role, with Antonio Conte opting for Olivier Giroud over Alvaro Morata to lead his attack.

N’Golo Kante returns in the Chelsea midfield, which will doubtless boost their clean sheet prospects. Conte’s backline have kept five shut-outs in their last six Stamford Bridge outings.

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

    Ok so I have no wildcard left, had Jordan Ayew, also have Walcott and Hazard.....

    Ayew our for Wilson... obvious move, or could go Mounie....

    Wk32/33 will be looking to dump Walcott and my third striker and possibly Hazard.... thinking Ramsey, cheapo sub mid and Lukaku/aubamayang.....

    But for next week, Ayew out for who?

    Anyone going to bring zaha in next week for a hit?

    He will start for palace won't he?

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

      Definitely considering it!

      Him and Stanislas are the 2 midfielders I'm looking at that I don't already own

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Won't be for a hit.

    3. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I might for free. Not a hit

      1. Flynny
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        I'm considering bringing king stanislas and zaha in for - 8.

        I'm a firm believer in the theory that a hit next week is only worth -2 If the player you are removing isn't even playing!

        1. UshFPL
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          They still need to return though

          1. Epic Fail
            • 15 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            That's what he's saying though, if they don't return he's only lost -2.

            1. UshFPL
              • 9 Years
              8 years, 1 month ago

              I'd rather lose 0 if I'm not confident in returns

              1. Epic Fail
                • 15 Years
                8 years, 1 month ago

                Of course, but I doubt he's gonna bring in players he doesn't think will give returns.

            2. Flynny
              • 11 Years
              8 years, 1 month ago

              Exactly - and those moves give me a 9 man team with a fully attacking 7 players.

              Don't see the value in bringing in defenders next week

              Better to max out on players with higher ceilings

              1. Epic Fail
                • 15 Years
                8 years, 1 month ago

                Very true. I've got 2 frees and almost a full XI so I won't need to take a hit, but I'd be more than happy to. It's a very low risk move.

              2. UshFPL
                • 9 Years
                8 years, 1 month ago

                Good point. Good luck with it

  3. Bring the Cavalry
    • 9 Years

    Anyone getting in zaha this week? Tempted just a bit worried he might start on the bench again

    1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      If they want to win then they will need to start him.

    2. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Will surely start

    3. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      If he hadn't gotten minutes today I'd be worried but playing a whole half you'd imagine he'll be fine

    4. RÏɠBY

      best diver in the league.. essential 😉

    5. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years

      Wait for team news. No sense in early transfers at this point of season

  4. RÏɠBY
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    fab obviously doesn't like giroud

  5. The Bandit

    Not a Hennessey OG? Was going in before Kelly deflected it. If Hennessey was a Chelsea player he would have been credited with the goal. 😕

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

      Was going in if Kelly wasn't there to block it.

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        think that's what he's saying, should be Hennessey's

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

          Kelly couldn't clear twice, his fault.

          1. SADIO SANÉ
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 1 month ago

            he did clear it the first time, second time was a deflection

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

              He deflected it in, simple.

              1. SADIO SANÉ
                • 10 Years
                8 years, 1 month ago

                writing 'simple' after something doesn't mean it is.

                1. The Bandit
                  • 15 Years
                  8 years, 1 month ago

                  Many defenders deflect a shot into the net but if if ifs on target it’s not an own goal

                  1. SADIO SANÉ
                    • 10 Years
                    8 years, 1 month ago

                    exactly

                  2. The Bandit
                    • 15 Years
                    8 years, 1 month ago

                    Lots of ifs, needed a few buts I think 🙂

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

                    In this case, it wasn't. Kelly 1st block rules out any Chelsea assist.

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

                  If Hennessey and Kelly were Chelsea players, Kelly gets the goal. Because it's an own goal doesn't change that.

                  1. SADIO SANÉ
                    • 10 Years
                    8 years, 1 month ago

                    he would have been given offside 😀

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

                      No VAR

                  2. The Bandit
                    • 15 Years
                    8 years, 1 month ago

                    Well he’d have been offside for a start. As I said, if Hennessey was a Chelsea player he would have been given the goal. If you know some specific rule why don’t you just spit it out instead of being a smart arse?

                    1. SADIO SANÉ
                      • 10 Years
                      8 years, 1 month ago

                      😀 😀 😀

        Do you ever give a straight answer to anything? I’d rather you didn’t bother

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years

          Obviously a Kelly OG. Go check the comments.

            • 15 Years

            As I said...

    I am tempted to bring in Zaha this week .

    1. tm245
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Could be a good shout, but I am trying to figure out if I want to hedge my bets or go all out and try to have my attackers avoid my defenders.

      1. Del Monte

        Same here.

        What do you think of this....

        Lossl

        Ake Schindler Zanka

        Salah Mane Sigurdsson Shaqiri Stanislas

        Firmino King

        1. tm245

      Ready made Walcott replacement.

      1. NATSTER
        • 15 Years

        Walcott could be ok.

    Firmino Niasse

    2FT. 1.8 ITB.

    With Niasse and possibly Walcott unlikely to play, do you think I should take a -4? Who would be your priorities to get in?

    1. Kermit Special

    Chelsea 2-0 Crystal Palace

    Olivier Giroud has had seven shots so far, with Willian on six.

    Cesc Fabregas is pulling the strings with a game high 68 passes, completing 89%.

    Andreas Christensen - despite the error which led to Palace hitting the post - is the most accurate player in a blue shirt, completing 96% of his 52 passes.

      easily could have hauled in this, just one of those games, not really falling for him

  11. tm245
    • 14 Years

    Morata is such a weakling. Never seen a number 9 get pushed off the ball so easily -- was he like this at the beginning of the season before his back injury?

      35. Hard to see another spot for it if you have all chips available - maybe 38 as a proper punt but 35 seems most sensible with BB and TC in the DGWs.

      I concur. Congrats on Baines. You got a haul & signed memorabilia from that transfer. Much better outcome than most transfers

  29. Mr Wizard
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Couple questions about the free hit chip. Those who have played it already might be able to shed some light on it for me.

    1. If I have 2 FT stacked and inplay my FH chip will I keep my 2 transfers for the following gameweek?

    2. When you press the confirm on the FH chip can you then make as many transfers as you like, similar to a wildcard, or is the transfers you make when you confirm the chip the only ones you get to make?

    Cheers!
