False-nine role for Hazard as Liverpool chase the title

Eden Hazard (£11.0m) has the power to act as a differential option in Double Gameweek 34.

Sold by 242,643 managers in the last few days, more than any other player, he has been lined up as a false-nine for Chelsea this afternoon.

Any attacking returns from the Belgian would dent those invested in the Liverpool defence and reward those who showed faith in him.

Hazard’s ownership is still at 30.7% overall, but he is in just 25% of teams inside the top 10,000.

His deployment in the central forward’s position means that Gonzalo Higuaín (£9.2m) drops to the Chelsea bench.

Meanwhile, Callum Hudson-Odoi (£4.2m)earns his third Premier League start in a row as he flanks Hazard with Willian (£7.1m).

Meanwhile, Liverpool line up with few surprises.

Mohamed Salah (£13.2m), sold by 130,000+ managers for Double Gameweek 34, looks to be lining up on the right of a three-man attack, Sadio Mané (£10.1m) on the left and Roberto Firmino (£9.3m) through the middle.

Liverpool XI: Alisson; Robertson, van Dijk, Matip, Alexander-Arnold; Henderson, Keita, Fabinho; Mané, Firmino, Salah.

Chelsea XI: Kepa; Emerson, D Luiz, Rüdiger, Azpilicueta; Loftus-Cheek, Kanté, Jorginho; Hudson-Odoi, Hazard, Willian.

    Hazard vs VvD, then.

    Going to be an exceptional battle

      Sarri is going for 0-0

      Wow, spot on!

  6. ZeBestee
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    The interviewer asking Sarri if Hazard will dribble past VVD was the cringest thing I have seen in prematch. The teams are there to win by scoring goals not dribble.

      • 5 Years

      I hope that reporter comes in front of Warnock 😀

  7. Eytexi
    • 5 Years

    Mané, TAA & Robbo: need a clean sheet for the double Liverpool defence to complete a good week.

    1. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Hazard the TROLL will do you no favors 😛

      1. Eytexi
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Hazard is always so good to me. Scores when i own, blanks when I don't. Sold him this week for Eriksen, I trust him.

    2. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years

      Hope they all blank bar Robo :). Ty

    Would have had 22 from 5 if I hadn't used WC this week, with TAA, Robbo, Luiz, Ramsey, Salah and Haz to play.

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Deeney haul don't worry :), atleast QPR won

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Yeah. Not sure which team was playing in our shirts yesterday!

    2. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Your bench could have a few points on it, Deeney haul I reckon. Gg to QPR though

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Ooos

  10. balint84
    • 7 Years

    Lloris or Foster? (only one)

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Lloris
      Good fixtures till the end of season

  11. Srv210
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 11 months ago

    which striker to have if you already got Deulofeu in your team

    A) Deeney
    B) Wilson

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Deeney

      1. Srv210
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Wilson against Fulham (H) can be good, don't you think?

        1. Tsparkes10
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Could well be King's time to haul again and Deeney has 2 nice fixtures. Either will do well imo. See how Deeney is tomz

        2. Amey
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          He can be
          I like Deeney's fixtures more though

    2. WVA
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Wilson

    3. Party time
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Wilson

    4. Stupendous
      • 11 Years

      Son to Eriksen to Sterling keeping the other obviously?

      No Aguero

      1. Stupendous
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Son OR

      2 goals from salah assisted by taa, whom comes off at 61, only for hazard to then score a brace and a final winning goal from vvd

    6. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Dalglish is a hero for what he did to help the families of the 96.

    7. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Any chance of Kdb -bps ??
      On 41 & Raz on 37 (+3 for winning goal) could be 3 each 😛

      1. Dannyb
        • 6 Years

        That would be epic

        are the points not already set at 41 for KDB & 37 for R.S. ?

        1. Amey

      • 12 Years

      If Duffy blanks in midweek is anyone considering getting rid?

      Was thinking of getting a Watford defender in.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        If BB, possibly.

        1. 1justlookin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Are you planning on BB any other week? :-/

            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 11 months ago

            Is it BB if Brighton players score 0?

            1. 1justlookin
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              4 years, 11 months ago

              Bench Boost?

      2. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        They'll probably do exactly the same thing to you.

      3. Tsparkes10
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Have bigger concerns tbh

      4. The Senate
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        for sure, either Femenia or Cathcart depending on Monday's team selection

      5. Business Cat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        If nothing else to sort out (e.g. Valery), moving one of Ryan or Duffy on ahead of BB seems sensible

      6. Champ
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Holebas could be an option if fit

      7. elchilangles
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

      Salah shin

    11. Differential C (Mark)
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Salah SOT from point blank!

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        How close is point blank from the goal?

        1. Differential C (Mark)
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Halfway between pen spot and goal, I reckon?

          1. TorresMagic™
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 11 months ago

            It's a lot closer, like missing a sitter.

            1. Differential C (Mark)
              • 8 Years
              4 years, 11 months ago

              True, I was expecting th e net to ripple.

    12. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Salah volley. Mishit.

    13. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Got my Beat the drop question on Salah to have 2 or more shots on target. Good start 🙂

    14. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      If that foes anywhere other than straight at Kepa, that's a goal. Tight margins.

    15. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Glorious to watch salah on 25% ownership. Breathe.

      1. Gnu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        34.6% overall.

        1. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          So many ghost ships in that so I'm just working off top ten k, but fair point

    16. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      I basically should not have wildcarded. Got rid of Pogba, Sterling. Went for double city defence. And thought sigurdsson had a better chance v fulham than a potentially non-starting sterling.
      The top 1k average is 32 just before the liverpool game.
      The total average is 29 and I am even below that!

      1. F_Ivanovic
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Absolute baffling why you would go for double City defence. I didn't even go for anyone.

        1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          I thought there would be a few clean sheets for city starting with palace.In hindsight it looks like a terrible decision.

    17. Differential C (Mark)
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Hazard targetted for fouls again. Nothing new. Fabinho's knee makes contsct with Eden's ankle.

      1. Differential C (Mark)
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Hazard limping. A bit

        1. Differential C (Mark)
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Balc.on pitch now. Expect more fouls to come.

    18. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Hazard has more goals v Liverpool than any other team. Never knew that

      1. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Great stat that

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        7? Shares that with other teams.
        In PL, only 4?

    19. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Terrible dive 😀

      1. Point-one short
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Salah or Hazard?

    20. Differential C (Mark)
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Salah diving again. No pen though.

      1. Point-one short
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 11 months ago

        Give him a yc ref

    21. Royal5

      How is that not a YC for diving?
