False-nine role for Hazard as Liverpool chase the title

808 Comments
Share

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.

          Comedy answer: Make sure pitch is dry so no slippy G repeats.

          Real answer: It's a safety exercise for the stewards to make sure they are prepared in the event of an evacuation due to an emergency. Stewards are made sure to be in their correct positions and all turnstiles are tested to make sure they are working.

          It's done a couple of times during the season.

          It's the only ground I can remember this ever being broadcast during a game (excluding the Anfield bit of course), I think Goodison does it but not sure.
          It's probably a emergency services drill but they've done it for years.

          Been following Hereford fc lately (don’t know why) and their forum has a discussion on this. Sometoto do with where the teams promoted and relegated are based. Hereford fans hoping they’d be moved to Southern League for travel costs but unlikely because of the likely southern based promoted teams.

                    Anybody worse than me 19 points with Salah and taa playing and Duffy and Ryan midweek. This is my 14th season and potentially my lowest gw total in all that time. Dropped from 964 rank down to about 2k. I thought the fantasy gods were looking after me this season, as I've had an awful amount of luck but it looks like the tide has turned. Perhaps I was in a false position anyway.
                    I don't expect any sympathy from anybody though and I'm not blaming any players, managers or referees, only myself for picking my wildcard team.

                Issue with Chelsea is that they have nobody on the box when they're attacking. Everyone is just on the edge of the area. Come on lads get in there, don't rely om Hazard to do it all on his own

                    Chelsea going for the "pass it to Hazard and pray he does some s***" tactic, I see.

                      Vardy > Firmino?
                      Cardiff then Hudds.
                      No double, but City players might not either.
