The final act of a dramatic day is delivered from Stamford Bridge, as Antonio Conte’s Chelsea seek a fifth straight victory and clean sheet from their clash with Everton.

While Chelsea’s defence will be a focus for some Fantasy managers, this is very much a tale of two strikers, with the in-form Diego Costa and Romelu Lukaku colliding.

The Chelsea man is backed with the armband by 8% of FPL managers, while Lukaku claims 4%. The Belgian has returned in six of his last seven Gameweeks and will provide a stern test for Conte’s rejuvenated defence.

Eden Hazard is the other headline act on show – he’s bidding for his fourth successive goal, having attracted more than 148,000 owners heading into the Gameweek – he’s backed by 3% with the captaincy.

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

      Imagine Moses and Antonio were listed as defenders

        You have Alonso as a defender. He seems more offensive than Moses tbh.

      Sanchez & Evans > Hazard & Alonso -4 if i do it now, would it be unwise ?

        Two weeks for your players to get injured and force you into more hits. Another set of games tomorrow as well.

      So Matic? Or Allen?

        Allen.

      Costa yellow right now would be wonderful.

      Want to do Firmino > Hazard, Firmino is the most annoying player to own, when you don't have him he scores. Him and his haircut need to get injured to make it easier.

      1. Dimen
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I got Firmino and Mane, but I just cant get rid of them with these fixtures!

        Im doing Lukaku ->Anichebe and Capoue -> Haz

    • Worzel Gummidge
        9 years, 1 month ago

        With Arsenals next 2 fixtures I am tempted to drop Sanchez for Haz and keep Sterling.

        A) Sanchez to Haz FT
        B) Sterling to Haz and Firm to Gun -4 (have Cout)
        C) Drop Costa to 4.5M, Fletcher to Haz -4 and go 3-5-2

        Leaning towards A.

        1. I Member

          A

          Get rid of sterling

          1. Worzel Gummidge
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Good fixtures and dont fancy dropping Firm or getting in Gun especially for a -4

          2. Chucky
            • 12 Years

            A

            Are you gonna do it immediately to gain increase?

            1. Worzel Gummidge
                9 years, 1 month ago

                Not thought about it but if I do A then yes.

                  9 years, 1 month ago

                  Okay, Im thinking of same, but Alexis will only have 1 hard game after the transfer, also Alexis tend to do good in hard fixtures... so not sure what to do

                  1. Worzel Gummidge
                      9 years, 1 month ago

                      Yes it's mind numbing. Not really sure what to do tbh

            2. Typo
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              A or B:

              A
              Swap Sanchez for Haz and Benteke for Costa -4

              B
              Swap Sanchez for Haz and Deeney for Lukaku -4

              Have no chelsea cover, Front 3 is Deeney Benteke Aguero

              Costa has 13 more points than Aguero and is around 3 mil less. How many points per game do they both have?

                Costa - 6.6 PPG
                Aguero - 6.7 PPG

              Few people were advising on keeping sterling instead of getting hazard this morning

              I hope they didn't listen to this advice

              Lukaku to Costa for a -4?

              Fantasy aside, that was quite the game to watch.

            8. The Count of Monte Cristo
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Firmino + Koscielny --> Hazard + Lovren

              Rest of the midfield is Sanchez - Coutinho - Redmond - Allen

            9. Dimen

              Whats up with Anichebe? Will he keep playing?

                • 13 Years
                9 years, 1 month ago

                Came in for a poor Khazri last week so you'd assume he'd keep his place after this week.

                  • 12 Years
                  9 years, 1 month ago

                  Yes. Getting him as bench player and doing Capoue -> Hazard

              Hazard likely to rise tonight? I was hoping to wait till tomorrow to decide Sanchez->Hazard or Sterling+Capoue->Whelan+Hazard

                Definitely rising. Already up to 111 on fpl stats, probably rising very soon.
