The final fixture of Gameweek 9 sees us pay visit to Stamford Bridge, where Chelsea entertain former manager Jose Mourinho and Man United at 4pm.

The home side have chalked up two straight wins and clean sheets since Antonio Conte switched to a 3-4-3 formation, defeating Hull and Leicester in consecutive Premier League fixtures.

Diego Costa is the Blues’ main threat, having scored or assisted in seven of the Blues’ first eight fixtures.

The Spain international sits just one booking short of a single-match suspension, though it’s worth noting that a caution today would see him sit out the midweek EFL Cup clash with West Ham and free him up to face Southampton in Gameweek 10.

Those who have held onto Zlatan Ibrahimovic will be hoping for signs of a return to form, bearing in mind the Reds then host Burnley next weekend.

The Swede – who is the second most-captained player for Gameweek 9 – has plummeted in price to 11.3 after scoring just one goal in his previous six league outings.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Bit early to ask but thoughts on Deeney as (c) next weekend against HULL?

    Have the other likely lads Lukaku / Aguero/ Sanchez / Firm / Cout / Walcott, madness?

    • Optimus.
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Ffs I sold Hazard post gw1, just my luck!

    • Sánchez
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Hazard now on higher pts than firmino and mane but is seen as flopping while kun is essential

      1. Optimus.
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah but Kun might score next week

      2. Count of Monte Hristo
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Kun is not not essential...

        1. Sánchez
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          No one is

      3. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Haz more expensive no?

        1. Sánchez
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Than kun?

        Depends on the time bracket you are looking at. Got a return in all of his first 3 games, when he proved to be excellent value. After that he went for 5 games without doing anything I think. This game is not about picking 15 players for a whole season.

    • NestorC
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      A) Snod to Cout
      B) Kun to Costa
      C) Sanch to Cout and Rash to Costa
      D) Kun to Costa and Rash to Slimani

    • columbo
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Hazard and Antonio to Firmino and Coutinho, 2 FT'S please lads?

      Was no brainer but hazard looks a lot better. Trouble is I have 0 Pool cover and can't afford any without hazard gone.

      Thank you.

      1. Red Devil Swede

        9 years, 2 months ago

        Anyone looks good against this United side.

        1. columbo
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 2 months ago

          Very true but he scored last Gameweek too.

    • Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Mourinho is finished. Just a bitter old has been.

    • Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

      Ahhh this is frustrating!

    • Camp No No
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Got to love Bailly: 1 point for minutes -1 for conceding 2 -1 for YC, makes for a -1 point for the 13.6% of managers who own him! 😀

    • Sánchez
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Whens kane due back?

      1. SW6
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        I read he started training again end of this week. I reckon a couple GWs time he might get on

      2. Jimmers
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Probably after the next international break

      3. BabyB
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        Arsenal game I think

      4. devils advocate

          No

      2. Werkself

      1. Werkself
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

        no

      2. Ógie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 2 months ago

    • The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Sneaky try for a yc there 😉

    • Revival

      Only 1 person in my mini-league has Hazard. Given his price everyone has Sanchez over him.

    • Saïss Doesn't Mat…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Hazard back on fpl radar.... Sanchez, watch out

    • SW6
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Who knows, maybe Costa won't get another YC between now and January...

    • Sánchez
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago
