The latest on the Chelsea injury situation as Hazard gets an extended run-out

Our summary of the weekend’s FA Cup matches continues with a closer look at three ties contested on Saturday afternoon.

As usual we’ll be rounding up the main Fantasy talking points, manager quotes and injury updates concerning the Premier League sides involved.

Chelsea 2-0 Nottingham Forest

Eden Hazard (£11.1m) was handed more minutes than perhaps anticipated in this FA Cup third round victory for Chelsea, with the Belgian introduced as a 42nd-minute substitute after Ruben Loftus-Cheek (£5.2m) suffered a recurrence of his back injury.

It was a relatively quiet afternoon for Hazard, who had only one (blocked) attempt on goal but who nevertheless teed up another five chances for his team-mates in the second half.

The Belgium international also played the last 15 minutes of this match as a central striker, though understandably appeared to be conserving his energy for more important matches ahead.

Assistant coach Carlo Cudicini gave an update on Loftus-Cheek, who had been deployed on the right wing for this tie, after full-time:

We are very sorry for the kid to be honest. His impact on the games he played so far has been very good. Even today I feel he was contributing very much so it’s a pity.

It’s something that is affecting him and something we need to look at resolving. Obviously, it’s been going on for a while and now he will probably have to stop for a bit to try to resolve it.

The star of the show in west London was Callum Hudson-Odoi (£4.2m), who has been recently linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge.

Hudson-Odoi began brightly on the left flank before being switched to the opposite wing on Hazard’s introduction, delivering two fantastic crosses for Alvaro Morata (£8.4m) to convert after the interval.

Cudicini said of the youngster:

He did very well, it was a very good performance, as we say in Monaco, a “360 performance”. Two assists and he worked very hard defensively. Even when we had a few problems in midfield with Ampadu, he was running for two.

His commitment was great and you want him to have performances like that so he can put some doubts in Maurizio’s mind and be in contention for a place.

It was another rollercoaster afternoon for Morata, who spurned an excellent headed opportunity in the first half and who missed an absolute sitter when flagged offside just after the break.

The Spanish striker was at least back on the scoresheet for the first time since November with two tidy finishes (one a header) from pinpoint Hudson-Odoi deliveries.

Cudicini said of the much-maligned forward:

I think Alvaro played an important part in today’s performance, he was very good in terms of working for the team, offensively but mainly defensively.

It was very important for him to score two goals, which can only be good for his confidence. We are all pleased with his performance but we were even when he didn’t score in previous games so hopefully, it will be good for his morale that he scored, and hopefully he will be more free in his mind.

Gianfranco Zola mentioned in the press conference before the match that for a striker it’s difficult when you go through a spell when you don’t score many goals, so his body language was a bit down, but in training he’s working very hard and we all knew that sooner or later he would be able to turn the corner and start scoring goals. Thankfully he did it today, it was very important because we really care about this competition and we want to do well.

He’s a great striker, he has great qualities and now his confidence is back I’m sure he will keep on scoring goals for us.

Willian (£7.2m), Olivier Giroud (£7.7m) and Pedro (£6.3m) missed out on this match through injury, with Maurizio Sarri making eight changes to his side following the 0-0 draw with Southampton in midweek: only Morata, Ross Barkley (£5.3m) and David Luiz (£5.9m) keeping their places.

Marcos Alonso (£6.8m) was one of the eight players handed a breather, with Emerson Palmieri (£5.2m) producing an Alonso-esque performance in his stead: decent going forward, suspect at the back.

Cesc Fabregas (£6.2m) missed a first-half penalty in what could have very well been his farewell appearance in a Chelsea shirt, with the former Barcelona midfielder seemingly set for a move to Monaco.

Fabregas was substituted with a knock late on, meanwhile.

Chelsea XI (4-3-3): Caballero; Zappacosta, Christensen, Luiz, Emerson; Ampadu, Fabregas (Kante 85′), Barkley; Loftus-Cheek (Hazard 42′), Morata (Azpilicueta 75′), Hudson-Odoi.

Everton 2-1 Lincoln City

Richarlison (£6.9m) had an eventful ten-minute cameo as Everton edged past Lincoln City: the Brazilian curled a shot just wide, cleared a late Imps effort off the line and caught an elbow to his face after being introduced as an 80th-minute substitute for Gylfi Sigurdsson (£7.3m).

It was a fairly unremarkable performance from the Icelandic midfielder, who was one of six Everton players to keep their place in Marco Silva’s starting XI following the New Year’s Day defeat to Leicester City.

Sigurdsson, who lined up in the hole in a 4-2-3-1, stung the hands of visiting goalkeeper Josh Vickers with one half-volley in the second half but didn’t particularly impress against League Two opposition.

Much of Everton’s good work came down the left flank, with Leighton Baines (£5.0m) and Bernard (£5.9m) being the Toffees’ two stand-out players.

Baines crossed for the fit-again Ademola Lookman (£5.1m) to nod the hosts in front before Bernard chipped in Everton’s second following neat build-up play from Sigurdsson and central striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£5.3m).

Calvert-Lewin, who missed a decent chance to extend Everton’s lead, was one of two players hooked at half-time, with Silva also sacrificing Tom Davies (£5.1m) for Cenk Tosun (£6.5m) and Andre Gomes (£5.4m).

Silva said:

In that moment, I felt we needed a player like Andre.

We completely controlled the game with the ball and were creating problems for them but when they score we started to have some doubts in our build-up and we needed Andre in that moment.

About the situation with Dominic, it was the moment for us to give Cenk the chance to show his quality.

Baines’ impressive performance at left-back may have slightly ruffled owners of Lucas Digne (£5.2m), who was handed a rest for this encounter, though consideration of course has to be given to the calibre of the Toffees’ opposition on Saturday afternoon.

It was another match without a clean sheet for Everton’s backline, with Lincoln defender Michael Bostwick halving the deficit just before the half-hour following a set-piece situation.

Lookman also caught the eye on the right flank and Silva was asked about the youngster’s prospects of starting in Gameweek 22. The Everton boss said:

You’ll have to wait and see next Sunday. He is important for us and will be more important for the future. I have no doubts about him, now he is ready to play if I take the decision.

Everton XI (4-2-3-1): Pickford; Kenny, Mina, Zouma, Baines; Davies (Gomes 45′), Gueye; Lookman, Sigurdsson (Richarlison 80′), Bernard; Calvert-Lewin (Tosun 45′).

Derby County 2-2 Southampton

Southampton will have to contest a third-round replay in between Gameweeks 22 and 23 (games against Leicester City and Everton respectively) after spurning a two-goal lead at Pride Park on Saturday.

Nathan Redmond (£5.2m), who has two goals and as many assists to his name in his last five Premier League appearances, put the Saints 2-0 up with a brace of strikes, his second goal a fantastic, dipping effort from distance that left home goalkeeper Kelle Roos flatfooted.

Ralph Hasenhuttl made six changes to the side that drew 0-0 with Chelsea in Gameweek 21 and deployed a 4-2-2-2 formation – his favoured system during his tenure at RB Leipzig – for the first time.

Redmond and Mohamed Elyounoussi (£6.1m) – who wasted a great chance to win the game – were the two most advanced midfielders in this set-up, with Charlie Austin (£5.5m) and Shane Long (£4.7m) leading the line for the visitors.

Angus Gunn (£4.3m) once again lined up in goal, while Matt Targett (£4.2m) returned at left-back after his rest at Stamford Bridge.

Hasenhuttl was frustrated with the result and the subsequent replay that his new charges will now have to contest:

That’s a result we didn’t want to have. To play another game is not necessary today I think because for 60 minutes we were the better team and I felt the tactics were perfect.

After the break, the opponent tried long balls to get more chances but we didn’t give any away until the 60th minute. At 2-0, I think we were feeling too comfortable which is always dangerous in a cup match because the opponents will never give up. Then at 2-1, I felt we needed to push the tempo high again but we did it too late and you can see what happens.

In the last ten minutes, both teams tried to win the game and it was open with chances for both teams but we made it difficult for ourselves. If you start getting sloppy then it’s difficult to win, also against a Championship team. That’s what we have to learn.

We showed we are prepared with a new shape which is a positive thing to play the 4-2-2-2 for the first time but over 90 minutes we were not concentrated or sharp enough to take the win.

Danny Ings (£5.6m) and Stuart Armstrong (£5.1m) missed out on the draw, with Hasenhuttl providing an update on the injured pair:

We have a few injury problems with our forwards.

Danny Ings is injured for two weeks and that’s the reason he couldn’t play and Stuie Armstrong I gave a rest to and he couldn’t play as he has problem with his ankle also.

Austin and Long look to be Hasenhuttl’s go-to pair in the short-term, with Manolo Gabbiadini (£5.6m) seemingly set for a move away from St. Mary’s.

The Southampton boss said:

A few teams are interested in Manolo and we have a look and if there’s a result we tell you. Sure (there have been offers). We have to decide and he has to decide where he wants to go.

That Austin and Long were toothless in the Southampton attack underscored how disappointing the injury to Ings is, with the south coast club top of our Season Ticker for the next five Gameweeks and not offering too many other stand-out candidates for Fantasy investment.

Redmond and – if fit – Armstrong could perhaps prove to be savvy budget midfield options, however.

Southampton XI (4-2-2-2): Gunn; Cedric, Stephens, Vestergaard, Targett; Ward-Prowse, Slattery; Elyounoussi (Barnes 71′), Redmond; Long, Austin (Johnson 79).

      Before you sell Pogba, the article also says:

      "Paul Pogba has not completely recovered from the knock he sustained against Newcastle and stayed back for treatment, but he will join his Manchester United team-mates in Dubai soon in preparation for the Tottenham game,' the club said in a short statement."

    Going without man city attacker is scary.

    But who the hell do i sell to get one in ?

    Current team

    Patricio (Harner)
    Alonso TAA Doherty Digne AWB
    Hazard Salah Pogba Richarlison Perreyra
    Kane Jimenez Kamara

    non city owners do share your thoughts and plans if you got one.

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Hazard to Sterling

    2. The EJJ

      can't have everyone, you'e got a good team

      1. HurriKane
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Yh I guess Still city will score lots of goals. watching them put 3-4 goals on a consistent basis will be difficult.

        Would like to own One of Sterling Sane or KDB

    3. Fabtastic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I've got a similar team except Auba, Robbo, Martial instead of Kane, TAA and Pereyra. I'll probably go Alonso > Bednarek, Martial > Sane. Chelsea's fixtures are not wonderful after this Newcastle game.

      Then Pogba > Son when Son is back from Asian Cup to cover Tottenham attack.

      1. HurriKane
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Hmm interesting. Cheers for the reply

        1. HurriKane
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Wait A nice idea popped up. How about Pogba Alonso --> Sane Kolasinac.

          If pogba form dips this could be a great plan. Thoughts?

          1. Fabtastic
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            5 years, 2 months ago

            Yeah, Kolasinac is a good pick, especially with you not having Auba. He's a nice ''cover'' of Arsenal if you get my drift

    4. L Ron Cupboard
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Alonso to budget defender and upgrade Rich to Sane? Do you have much cash itb?

      1. HurriKane
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Nahh 0.0 itb

    5. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Wouldn’t panic on city

      They have league cup, fa cup, champions league, and Kun Jesus, Sané, Sterling, Mahrez, Bilva, Dilva, all playing for 4 positions alongside KDB & Fernandinho.

      No guarantees they’ll navigate that schedule scoring 4s and 5s and even if they do, good luck trying to get a regular starter.

      Kane & Salah they way to go imo

      1. HurriKane
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Sensible points. In simple terms bald fraud cannot be trusted right? Cheers mate 😉

    6. Slitherene
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Patricio + Alonso + Pereyra --> Etheridge + Bednarek + Sane

  3. SirT83
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    G2G?

    Fabs (Hamer)
    Robbo Shaw WB Digne (Doherty)
    Sane Siggy Haz(C) Martial (Billing)
    Auba(V) Kane (Ings*)

    Obviously Ings third bench, Billing second and Doherty first.

    1Ft- 0.2itb.

    Thinking of saving this week and getting Salah in next week.

    1. kalmoffit
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Doherty in for Shaw?

      1. SirT83
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Might be right. Ill have to take a good long sleep about that.

  4. Sandy Ravage
    • 8 Years

    Who scores most goals over next 5 GWs?
    A - Spurs (mun, ful, WAT, NEW, LEI)
    B - Man City (WOL, hud, new, ARS, CHE)
    C - Arsenal (whm, CHE, CAR, mci, hud)

    1. HurriKane

      Man City

  5. jay01
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Thanks for the advice on my previous post.. I think it’s best to wildcard after this gwk... just for a one week punt as I have no city cover is it worth doing kane to Aguero? Kane likely to come back to my wc team right after

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I think Aguero is more likely to get a higher score than Kane this GW in isolation.

  6. Gharvey
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Excuse my ignorance but do I in effect lose 0.1m in funds everyone I transfer a player? I brought in Solanke as punt in advance of his inevitable price rise. So, would he need to go up by 0.2 for me to profit 0.1? As you were chaps. . .

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      You only lost money if they have gone up in price, as you say, 0.1 for every 0.2 they have gone up.

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

    Done a mini wildcard had 2FT so done -8 (Not submitted yet)
    Thoughts?

    Guaita (Hamer)
    AWB Bamba TAA (Doherty Femenia)
    Hazard Salah(c) Pogba Sane Richarlison
    Jimenez Aubameyang (Kamara)

    Cardiff got good fixtures hence Bamaba
    Same with Guaita (obviously not Liverpool)

    1. XABI 15
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I like it, team looks good going forward!

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

        Thanks. Tried to take some £ out of defence as it isn't really getting me anywhere... 5 man midfield set to haul hopefully.

    2. SirT83
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      who did you loose and who did you get in?

      Hard to tell you whether they were good transfers or not not knowing that.

    3. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Showing us your full squad isn’t going to help us tell you if your -8 was good.

      Who did you sell/buy....

  8. XABI 15

    RMWCT? Thanks

    Etheridge
    TAA VVD Digne
    Salah Sterling Sane Richarlison Eriksen
    Rashford Wilson

    Guiata Jonny Bednarek Kamara

    1. HurriKane
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Don't like strikers. Get one of Kane/auba/kun/firmino

      1. XABI 15
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Salah > Firmino, Sterling > Kun

        Reason for not having Kun and Auba is I plan on captaining salah every week so have gone for Eriksen and Sane instead.

        But i do see your thinking, its a bit of a niche move but i hope this power 5 midfield with x 2 liv defence could pay off!

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

      Maybe swap out Sterling for Haz or cheaper mid then upgrade Wilson? Think Sterling will get rotated

      1. XABI 15
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        yep I could do Sterling to Fraser and Wilson to Aguero

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

          Yeah sounds good if you're wanting double city. Don't get rid of Salah

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

      Double city can be magical or Rank killer.
      No in between because of their low ownership & other big hitters like Kane/Auba/Hazard you don't have.

    4. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané

    Patricio
    TAA, Doherty, AWB
    Salah, Hazard, Pogba, Anderson, Richarlison
    Kane, Rashford

    Subs: Hamer, Digne, Bednarek, Jimenez

    What do you think of this team?

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

      Good, but play Digne over Doherty this week imo

  10. QuintonFortune25
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Deeney on the scoresheet again after coming off the bench. Very tempting.

    Will bringing him in backfire? Got Palace away and Burnley home next two.

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Yes.

      1. QuintonFortune25
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Why so? What's your argument against may I ask?

        1. Epic Fail
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Deeney really just isn't very good. Good form at the moment yes, but not surprising if he does absolutely nothing.

        2. Debauchy
          • 11 Years

          Away to Palace, they're pretty mean

    Mitro misses penalty to put Fulham 2-1 up. Kamara back on pens?

    1. QuintonFortune25
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I doubt it, you've got to miss at least a couple before being taken off pens I reckon.

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years

      😀
      Cairney should take it now.

    3. Debauchy

      Dream on Kamara is shite

  12. valderramasbarber

    Any thoughts on low/mid-price midfielder for next 4 gameweeks?

    1. Pereyra - Cry (A), Bur (H), Tot (A), BHA (H)
    2. Delofeu - same
    3. Redmond - Lei (A), Eve (H), Cry (H), Bur (A)
    4. Camarasa - Hud (H), New (A), Ars (A), Bou (H)
    5. R Sessegnon - Bur (A), Tot (H), BHA (H), Cry (A)

    Cheers

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years

      If they are bench fodder then Camarasa. If you plan to play them then Redmond.

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years

        This

    2. Football Heaven

      In order, who would you want the most?
      A. Hazard

      C. Eriksen
      D. Sane

      1. Football Heaven
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Sorry didn’t mean to reply that. Personally I don’t like sessegnon or redmond. Pereyra can come good and camarasa will trickle but I wouldn’t like to start him every week

        With some gametime I would think about it but he’s prime rotation material so going to swerve him, nice price point regardless

      Ultimate casual pick. Cheap attacker playing for top 4 side

  18. SKOBassist

    Patricio
    Robertson/Lovren/Doherty/AWB/Bennett
    Hazard/Pogba/Anderson/Siggy/Billing
    Auba/Kane/Ings

    Thinking Ings to Rashford but need to downgrade my midfield. Likely Felipe Anderson to make way.

    Who is the best MID replacement for 5.8m if I make this move?

    Also considering Sterling for Hazard at some point. Need Man City cover

    1. SirT83

      Paterson at 5.1? Cardiffs fixtures look good and he plays striker.

      Townsend at 5.8 is the other choice. Maybe Delofeu, not sure whether he is nailed or not though.

      or a punt on Nasri? Not liking this option myself, but decided to put it out there.

        Cheers. Some decent thoughts there. Still working a few things out as to whether Rashford is a starter or will be rotated. But Paterson is a good call if I pull the trigger

    Thoughts on bringing Rashford in after the Spurs game? Are there better options than him which are cheaper? Worried he will be rotated

        You think he's fixture proof and will score more?

    2. Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I'm making the move. Have Laca though so no brainer

      Wow!

      Our first FA Cup 3rd round win without the need for a replay in 22 years!

      I need a sit down. And maybe a stiff drink too.

      U Rrrrrrrrrrrr’s!

      Evening,

      Alisson
      AWB - Digne - Robertson
      Felipe A - Haz - Richalison - Pogba - Son
      Kane - Rashford
      Speroni, Kamara, Doherty, Bednarek

      Have 2 FT and 2,3 £ ITB. Currently thinking of doing following:

      a) Felipe A & Son > Salah & Camarasa
      b) Felipe A & Son > Salah & Kante
      c) Other option, like hold Son for one more week?

      Thanks for advice!
