An assist for Hazard scant reward for FPL managers who kept faith

Sunday’s most forgettable local derby was also the first to take place, as a somewhat flat Chelsea side sleepwalked to a 2-0 victory over their west London rivals.

Claudio Ranieri’s Fulham put up a spirited performance and are displaying more backbone than they previously did under Slavisa Jokanovic, but a lack of cutting edge in the final third was telling as the Blues banked their seventh clean sheet in 14 league matches.

Maurizio Sarri’s side never got out of second gear but, as we will discuss, the emphasis was on solidification at Stamford Bridge rather than a gung-ho attacking display that owners of Eden Hazard and Marcos Alonso would have yearned for prior to kick-off.

We round up all the goals, assists, Fantasy talking points, manager quotes and injury news from the Sunday lunchtime kick-off.

Chelsea 2-0 Fulham

  • Goals: Pedro (£6.3m), Ruben Loftus-Cheek (£5.2m)
  • Assists: N’Golo Kante (£4.9m), Eden Hazard (£11.0m)

If Eden Hazard‘s (£11.0m) owners had been told before kick-off that the Belgian playmaker would emerge from an encounter with the division’s leakiest defence with six FPL points, the vast majority would have been fairly underwhelmed.

In the end, Hazard’s excellent assist for Ruben Loftus-Cheek‘s (£5.2m) 81st-minute strike came as something of a blessed relief on what was another frustrating afternoon for the Belgian’s Fantasy investors.

Assist or not, a significant percentage of the FPL managers who own Hazard would perhaps have seen enough to jettison the Chelsea talisman with the Fulham game having been seen as a “last-chance saloon”.

Given the number of premium options elsewhere with better form and/or fixtures, pocketing the £11.0m needed for Hazard’s services would go a long way in funding moves for the likes of Raheem Sterling (£11.5m), Harry Kane (£12.3m) and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£10.9m).

There were flashes of promise, however: Hazard producing several darting runs in from the left flank and a number of cute passes, one of which should have resulted in an assist when Olivier Giroud (£7.7m) spurned a presentable opportunity midway through the first half.

One of Hazard’s four shots should also have culminated in a “Fantasy assist”, too, with substitute Alvaro Morata (£8.8m) blazing over the rebound after the Belgian’s effort was parried by Sergio Rico (£4.4m).

The Belgium international’s only other shot on target was a direct free-kick that was fired straight at Rico.

The portents were promising ahead of kick-off, with Giroud named in the starting XI over Morata – the French striker having been on the pitch for all seven of Hazard’s Premier League goals this season.

A third-minute goal from Pedro (£6.3m) also boded well for a fruitful afternoon of attacking returns ahead, though Fulham didn’t capitulate as they have done on several occasions this season and had opportunities to level the scores themselves before Loftus-Cheek’s late clincher.

The chastening 3-1 defeat to Spurs last weekend played a part in Maurizio Sarri’s thinking this week and was perhaps the chief reason why the Blues didn’t cut loose after Pedro’s opener, as the Chelsea boss explained at full-time:

I think that we were a little tense. We defended a little better than in the last match, of course. We can do better in the offensive phase, but today the result was more important.

We gave more attention to the defensive phase today in order to kill the match and got a very good reaction for the level of application and attention.

Now we have to start to play our football in a better way.

Pedro made only his second start in nine Premier League matches and registered more shots on target than any other Chelsea player, though regular rotation with Willian (£7.4m) surely awaits the former Barcelona winger over a packed December schedule.

The same is true of the hit-and-miss strike duo of Giroud and Morata, as Sarri confirmed after the game:

They need to find continuity. Morata had a good period, Giroud is in a good period so we need more continuity. But I think its very normal to sometimes play Morata and sometimes Giroud, we have to play every three days so it’s normal.

Giroud didn’t do a great deal to further his case for more game-time, wasting that aforementioned chance provided to him by Hazard and then prodding at Rico from a Cesar Azpilicueta (£6.3m) cross.

Security of starts is something we’ve taken for granted in the Chelsea defence this season, with Kepa Arrizabalaga (£5.5m) and the Blues’ entire back four all making the team for the 14th league match in a row.

While Sarri is not renowned for his rotation, there may be rests ahead in December for a number of his backline.

Though he banked a seventh clean sheet in 14 matches and remains the leading points-scorer among FPL defenders, Marcos Alonso (£7.1m) was well below-par against Fulham and was hauled off on 78 minutes.

Sky Sports reported that Alonso had been withdrawn with a minor knock (yet to be confirmed by the club or other media outlets) though to the observer it looked purely tactical due to the left-back’s poor display, with the premium defender having failed to make a single key pass or deliver a successful cross all afternoon. Alonso also looked vulnerable defensively, with much of Fulham’s attacking play coming down Chelsea’s left flank.

While Alonso remains high on our watchlist and still represents relatively good value for money (only Trent Alexander-Arnold is returning more points per million spent among outfielders this season), it wouldn’t be a huge shock to see him rested against Wolves on Wednesday evening – particularly with Manchester City to come on Saturday.

Mateo Kovacic (£5.8m) was pictured with an ice pack on his leg after being substituted, meanwhile, though Sarri merely said the Croatian was “a bit tired” after the game.

The club did confirm that Ross Barkley (£5.8m) missed out with a knock, however.

Loftus-Cheek could deputise at Molineux if either player is unavailable, with Sarri praising the youngster at full-time:

In the last few weeks, he solved me problems. I was really very happy after the Europa League match because I think that was his best performance from a tactical point of view. Today I felt Kovacic was a bit tired and I put him on without problems.I was sure about his impact on the match.

Sarri also praised another midfielder, N’Golo Kante, someone who he had criticised after the defeat to Spurs:

I think he played very well. He defended very well. He needs to improve a little more tactically but that’s natural. For the national team, he usually plays with two midfielders. Last season sometimes with a two and sometimes with three, but in a central position, so it’s normal that he needs to improve.

Today he was better when the ball was on the other side of the pitch, I remember only one mistake in the first half. With the ball on the other side he has to stay close to Jorginho otherwise for us it’s a big problem. Jorginho is well able to make passes through the opponents but he’s not so good in the defensive phase with open spaces.

Kante supplied the assist for Pedro’s goal after winning the ball in midfield and was noticeably prominent in attacking situations in the first half, racking up more final third touches than Kovacic and Giroud.

Another defensive-minded asset who caught the eye from an attacking perspective was Fulham’s Calum Chambers (£4.2m), who was once again used “out of position” in central midfield.

Chambers had more attempts on goal than any Fulham player and three of his side’s four shots on target, including a header from a corner that was well saved by Kepa.

Ranieri said of the on-loan Arsenal player’s display:

He played very well. He’s a good midfielder because he understands what I want and, also, when he has the ball, he moves it very quickly and in the right way. I’m very very surprised.

Aleksandar Mitrovic (£6.6m), the most-bought FPL forward of Gameweek 14, didn’t have any meaningful attempt on goal but easier tests await in the coming weeks.

Mitrovic was paired up front with Ryan Sessegnon (£6.0m) in the first half, though Ranieri’s diamond formation was abandoned at half-time in favour of his more customary 4-4-1-1.

Ranieri said:

I tried to play with a diamond to close the central midfield for the Chelsea players because Chelsea want to pass the ball to Hazard, Giroud, Pedro and then from there attack the space or make one-two straight away and for this reason, I play with the diamond.

When you concede a goal from the beginning, it’s difficult. I changed the diamond at half-time and played with two wingers to make some problems to them and I think it was a good choice.

Tom Cairney (£4.8m) was a creative spark for Fulham in behind the striker(s) – creating three chances in total – and is perhaps a name to monitor as a budget-freeing, fifth-choice midfielder ahead of the Cottagers’ excellent run of fixtures from Gameweeks 17-20.

Andre Schurrle (£5.9m), meanwhile, missed the game as a precaution after he “felt a twinge” in training on Saturday.

Chelsea XI (4-3-3): Kepa; Azpilicueta, Rudiger, Luiz, Alonso (Zappacosta 78′); Kante, Jorginho, Kovacic (Loftus-Cheek 67′); Pedro, Giroud (Morata 70′), Hazard.

Fulham XI (4-4-2 diamond): Rico; Christie, Odoi, Mawson, Le Marchand; Chambers, Seri, Cairney (Kebano 76′), Johansen (Ayite 45′); Mitrovic, Sessegnon (Kamara 45′).

    Have 2fts, decision for gw15 only, because I am wildcarding in gw16..

    A) Hazard and jimenez out - kane, 5.9 mid in
    B) Auba and gudmundsson out - kane, 5.8 mid in

    Whatever I do, I will have to play jimenez vs chelsea, gudmundsson vs liverpool or yedlin vs everton..

      Man utd defense is non existent now, I wouldn't sell auba. Who is the 5.8 mid you're thinking of though

      1. GP 50

        It was schurle before missing out, now, i'm closest to march, brooks, really not sure .. Or some 0.1% player like wilshere 😀

    1. Pilgrim62

      B for this GW

  3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    would a dead leg keep you out for midweek? worried robertson owner

    1. Sicaholic
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      He had a dead leg? I was thinking he would be rested even before this news, guess it's even more certain now..

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 13 Years

        https://twitter.com/jacksear/status/1069367094599446528?s=21

        would explain why he hardly got forward throughout the game, not sure when he got it. I don't know, maybe he could still play but with many fixtures to come I have a feeling maybe klopp won't risk him

    2. DV8R
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Well I can't see him play both Burnley and Bournemouth tbh. CL game is more important so he'll be rested for 1 of those games imo

      1. yakirh
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        This

    3. SweeSwee
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I never understand why “dead leg” is an injury. Goes away quickly right?

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        not quite the same as a deadleg that you got from your older brother messing around

    4. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Yes I would say so. Moreno looks odds on to get a run out.

  4. Green Jumper
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Thinking of making a few changes with my 0.7 itb.

    I've been thinking of getting rid of Firmino for a while as he's not been producing at all. I'm thinking Lacazette might be worth the 0.4, especially if Arsenal can go on a run. Ordinarily I'd wait until after their Man Utd game but figure the Utd defence is that poor it might something worth taking advantage of.
    The other 0.3 might be spent on upgrading Dunk to Duffy, although I'm not sure if keeping the money might be a better option in the long run as Dunk may deliver more steady returns.

    1. lugs
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      seems a good move to me, even if he blanks against Utd during the week, he then has Hudds at the Emirates on Saturday (that fixture last season finished 5-0 last season iirc)

  5. Taegugk Warrior
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Everybody still prefer Kane than Auba...?

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Never did

    2. Ando
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Yes, mainly because he's nailed and Laca could come in pushing Auba to LW.

    3. SweeSwee
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Solely for nailedness

    4. Giroud Depardieu
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Not me

  6. Kane Toads
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    I usually play conservatively but did this for a 12pt hit just now. I’m looking to climb the ranks from 33k.

    Aguero > Kane
    Success > Auba
    Hazard > Gunnarson
    Mane > Eriksen

    1. Giroud Depardieu
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Why not? I’m not convinced by all this Kane love, but he can definitely score pens.
      I broke into the top 1k for the 1st time tonight and have just taken a -8 to celebrate(no Kane tho)!

      1. Kane Toads
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        well done for top 10k. I was top 5k at GW6 and red arrows since.. 🙁

        1. Giroud Depardieu
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Cheers - hopefully our hits will pay off!

  7. cemal
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    purely from a FPL perspective, who's bringing in more points, sane or sterling? and what's the rotation risk for them both like now? especially with aguero out.

    1. Giroud Depardieu
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      On Tues Sané will bring in more points, suspect Sterling will be rotated for Mahrez

  8. Tsparkes10
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone else think Kane may not start midweek?

    1. DV8R
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Why?

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Idk? Surely he needs a rest at some point

        1. DV8R
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Might be subbed early at the weekend but he should play both.

          1. Tsparkes10
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            Fairs

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Only flat earthers

    3. Saka Punch
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      He may get reduced mins if they're a couple of goals up, but very unlikely to be rested completely imo

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Ightt

    4. SweeSwee
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Why would Kane ever need resting? He basically does nothing when he plays.

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Ngl that did just cross my mind. You a nonowner?

      2. Giroud Depardieu
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        He does have to run/jog 12 yards to take a pen every so often. Credit where credit is due

  9. Saka Punch
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Kane or Salah for (C)?

    1. DV8R
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Last season this kind of decision cost me many points 🙁

      1. Saka Punch
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Got it wrong for the last 3 gw's - killing my rank 🙁

  10. nevins84
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Hazard & Mane to Salah & Anderson 2fts...

    Worth considering...??

    1. Hits from the Bong
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      You’re bringing in Salah??

    2. SweeSwee
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Not sure now is the moment I’d be investing heavily in Salah, but bring in Anderson, yes.

  11. Saka Rice
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    best midfielder below 7.8 aside from Richarlison and Anderson?

    1. Saka Punch
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Siggy

  12. T96
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    GW15 Team:

    Hennessey
    Alonso|Robbo|AWB
    Hazard|Erikson|Brooks|Sane|Rich
    Arnie|Aubameyang

    (Mitro|Doherty|Femenia|)

    Thoughts?.

    1. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Decent

    2. yakirh
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Nice
      I would start Mitro instead of Brooks

    3. yakirh
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Who is your captain?

      1. T96
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Haven't decided, between Sane and Hazard I think.

  13. Lignja
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    A. Kun, Robo to Kane, Taa
    B. Kun, Hazard to Kane, DSilva

    1. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Maybe A. TAA just as threatening as Robertson from watching the game today. He does seem to put in some decent balls.But I got both Robbo and TAA and neither are going anywhere right now.

  14. Albrightondknight
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    No need to take a hit for another move here? 4.6 ITB
    Only move that I could do is Wilson > Auba but I would rather
    Jimenez and Laporte to
    Auba and Bellerin next week, which means I can get Sane the week after. Going to cost me a bit more by waiting though.

    Ederson

    Alonso Laporte Robertson TAA

    Sterling Mane Alli Fraser

    Wilson Arnie

    Hamer Jimenez Bennett Stephens

    1. noahzark22
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      better options than Laporte in defense.

      1. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        I know but most would not agree it's Bellerin either 🙂

        What about Balbuena this week for Laporte?
        At least that means I could upgrade Stephens in a few week.

        1. Teahupo'o
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          I'd say Balbuena or Kolasinac.

          1. Albrightondknight
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            3 at the back here to stay? Don't want to get Kola to have him benched.

    2. T96
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I've just got rid of Mane, after Klopp saying he picked up an injury, seems likely to be rested...

      1. Albrightondknight
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah I just want to go Mane > Sane but I got 3 City already sonit would require a -8

  15. Stevie B
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Hazard and Agüero ->

    a) Sterling and Aubameyang
    b) Sane and Kane?

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      B, but main reasons for booting Hazard when he has Wolves next?

      1. Stevie B
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        The problem is that I have two free transfers and no other issues.

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Yeah me too, but have dicided on an alternate route to bring Kane in and keeping Hazard, reckon i'll offload if he doesn't do anything vs wolves

  16. Hits from the Bong
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Aguero and Patricio to Kane and Fabianski (-4)

    Patricio
    Alonso Robertson Dunk
    Sterling Hazard Sane Fraser
    Aguero (c) Arnautovic Wilson

  17. Tsparkes10
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Best way to fund Aguero to Kane for a 1 week punt before wc?

    A) Haz > Mahrez
    B) Vardy > Wilson
    C) Jimenez > non playing striker

      Mane may be injured so worth considering....

    Just sold Alonso, Fraser and Aguero on my Wildcard. Goodbye 0.8m of team value

    Decision made. Trigger pulled. Kane the winner.

    Fingers crossed Auba gets a rest now against Utd.....(not going to happen is it???)

    🙁

    Great to see custom filters displayed on tables in the Members area now. That will be very helpful when viewing public tables in particular. Next, it would be great to see it expanded to include all possible customisable filters, including filters for team, price, position, etc, which currently don't show up. Thanks for the new feature

      Cheers, happy we could get that done. I have that on my list, hopefully we can get a few more small tweaks like this done pretty soon 🙂

      1. Totti
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        I’ve to wait for more news on mane

      1. Totti
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        No tell me Mr. Magician 🙂
        You always tell me what will happen 🙂
        Not used to with pribanly answer 🙂
        You always say yes or no 🙂

        1. Totti
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Probably*

    3. Viper
      • 14 Years

      Looks like it

      1. Totti
        • 7 Years

    Sell Salah or Hazard to make money for Sterling, Auba and Kane? Or keep both? Thanks!

    1. Totti
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Sell salah
      Keep hazard

    2. Andy Mac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Sell both imo

    3. noahzark22
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      sell salah before burnley? that seem silly

    4. _figu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Neither this week IMO. Sterling more likely to be rested and those two have good fixtures. But trying to guess Pep rarely rarely Works, Sterling could easily start and possibly Be subbed off.

  27. The Yorkshire Pirlo
    • 7 Years

    Looking ahead.

    A) Sterling, Arnie (own Anderson)
    B) Dilva/Son, Auba (own Sane/Kane)

    1. Totti
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      A for next gamewek

  28. noahzark22
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    would you bring in siggy or rich if you wanted to?

    1. Super John McGinn-
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Siggy

    2. Viper
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Siggy

    3. _figu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Siggy has better stats.

    Ozil is a strange fish, out with another mystery 'injury' being reported as suffering from minor back ache to having back spasms.
    Emery not shedding any light on the issue either just stating that he didnt know whether Ozil was at the game or not.
    How many colds, minor injury issues, etc. can one player have...fishy. Shame for the talent that he has!

    1. Pierce34
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I find it strange that Ramsey is being allowed to leave, what with Ozil being so inconsistent (and on his way out as well?) and Mkhitaryan invisible.

      1. jia you
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        The Ramsey situation is odd, great little player!

  30. Super John McGinn-
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Felipe Anderson or Siggy? (Have Arnie)

    1. Hits from the Bong
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      A

    2. noahzark22
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      felipe

    3. jia you
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      equally good options but Felipe really passing the eye test and playing with a smile on his face...think theres more to come from him!

    4. _figu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Felipe until he comes Back to earth//fixtures get tougher
