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

      Mobile Giant vs low gravity wizard. Who wins?

    2. Amey

      Sarri is going for 0-0
      Can be a boring match

      Wow, spot on!

  6. ZeBestee
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 4 days 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.

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      I hope that reporter comes in front of Warnock 😀

  7. Eytexi

    5 years, 4 days ago

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

    1. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      Hazard the TROLL will do you no favors 😛

      1. Eytexi
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 4 days 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
      5 years, 4 days ago

      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
      5 years, 4 days ago

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

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 4 days ago

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

    2. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

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

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 4 days ago

        Ooos

  10. balint84
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 4 days ago

    Lloris or Foster? (only one)

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      Lloris
      Good fixtures till the end of season

  11. Srv210
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 4 days ago

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

    A) Deeney
    B) Wilson

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      Deeney

      1. Srv210
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 4 days ago

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

        1. Tsparkes10
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 4 days 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
          5 years, 4 days ago

          He can be
          I like Deeney's fixtures more though

    2. WVA
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      Wilson

    3. Party time
        5 years, 4 days ago

        Wilson

    4. Stupendous
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      Son to Eriksen to Sterling keeping the other obviously?

      No Aguero

      1. Stupendous
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 4 days 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
      5 years, 4 days ago

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

      1. Dannyb
        • 7 Years

        That would be epic

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

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years

          Yeah

      Robbo already crossing. Bless him.

      If Duffy blanks in midweek is anyone considering getting rid?

      Was thinking of getting a Watford defender in.

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

        If BB, possibly.

        1. 1justlookin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 4 days ago

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

            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 14 Years
            5 years, 4 days ago

            Is it BB if Brighton players score 0?

            1. 1justlookin
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years

              Bench Boost?

      2. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 4 days ago

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

      3. Tsparkes10
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 4 days ago

        Have bigger concerns tbh

      4. The Senate
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 4 days ago

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

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

        Holebas could be an option if fit

      7. elchilangles
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years

        defo

      Salah shin

    11. Differential C (Mark)
      • 8 Years

      Salah SOT from point blank!

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

        How close is point blank from the goal?

        1. Differential C (Mark)
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 4 days ago

          Halfway between pen spot and goal, I reckon?

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

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

            1. Differential C (Mark)
              • 8 Years
              5 years, 4 days ago

              True, I was expecting th e net to ripple.

    12. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      Salah volley. Mishit.

    13. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 days 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
      5 years, 4 days ago

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

    15. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
      • 6 Years

      Glorious to watch salah on 25% ownership. Breathe.

      1. Gnu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 4 days ago

        34.6% overall.

        1. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 4 days 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
      5 years, 4 days 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
        5 years, 4 days 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
          5 years, 4 days 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
      5 years, 4 days ago

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

      1. Differential C (Mark)
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 4 days ago

        Hazard limping. A bit

        1. Differential C (Mark)
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 4 days ago

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

    18. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

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

      1. VanDijksToWatchOutFor
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 4 days ago

        Great stat that

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years

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

    19. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      Terrible dive 😀

      1. Point-one short
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 days ago

        Salah or Hazard?

    20. Differential C (Mark)
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 4 days ago

      Salah diving again. No pen though.

      1. Point-one short
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 days ago

        Give him a yc ref

    21. Royal5

      How is that not a YC for diving?
