Hazard fit to play as Hudson-Odoi gets a fourth straight league start

Chelsea take on Burnley in west London this evening, with kick-off at Stamford Bridge at 20:00 BST.

Eden Hazard has shaken off a minor knock to start for the Blues and is back on the left flank, following his run-out as a “false nine” against Liverpool last weekend.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Callum Hudson-Odoi each start their fourth successive Premier League matches, while Gonzalo Higuain is recalled up front.

Higuain for Willian is one of two changes Maurizio Sarri has made from the defeat at Anfield, with Andreas Christensen in for the injured Antonio Rudiger his other alteration.

Marcos Alonso is once again sidelined so Emerson Palmieri continues at left-back.

After three wins on the spin, Sean Dyche has unsurprisingly named an unchanged starting XI for the trip to west London.

Phil Bardsley hasn’t recovered from a gashed leg so Matthew Lowton continues at right-back.

Johann Berg Gudmundsson still can’t find his way back into the Clarets’ side, with Jeff Hendrick again preferred on the right flank.

Hazard was the most-sold midfielder (and second-most-sold asset overall) of Gameweek 35, with almost 275,000 FPL managers transferring out the Chelsea winger.

16.19% of the top 10,000 Fantasy managers still own Hazard, with his overall ownership figure standing at 27.07% at the point of the Gameweek 35 deadline.

The Blues beat Burnley 4-0 in the reverse fixture of this game but only two of the six players involved in the goals – Loftus-Cheek and N’Golo Kante – start this evening.

Chelsea XI (4-3-3): Kepa, Azpilicueta, Christensen, Luiz, Emerson, Jorginho, Kanté, Loftus-Cheek, Hazard, Hudson-Odoi, Higuaín.

Burnley XI (4-4-2): Heaton, Lowton, Tarkowski, Mee, Taylor, Hendrick, Westwood, Cork, McNeil, Wood, Barnes.

        cheers guys...

        Playing Foster
        So Doherty and Duffy it is.
        TC salah it is

        Anyone help on this?

        Bench Gray or Jota this week?
        Mane in for Sterling? Yes or No ( I have salah)

        1. Boberella
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 11 months ago

          Bench Gray
          I'd say Yes to get Mane as i think he'll haul (I'm TC'ing), but could backfire. 50/50 really. Doesn't have as much impact if it goes wrong if you're captaining Salah anyway..

    9. pjomara
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 11 months ago

      Steve Bruce with 19 goals in one season must be the highest scoring defender of all time.

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

        Koeman probably edges that, must have bagged 20+ at least once... had FKs and pens though

    Just wanted to post to congratulate the sheer genius of Meatpiesausageroll as a troll account. He's fooled pretty much everyone (including me) by brilliantly taking the persona of a plausible absolutely moronic Man United fan. I salute you sir 🙂

        For me, it twigged when he didn't respond when I called him the worst poster FFS had ever seen.

        'I have a notebook where I record each week when refs cost us points. We would be on 83 points this season if it wasn’t for them. Fair enough we’d be 5 points behind but at least we’d be in with a fighting chance'

        LOL

        1. Party time
            4 years, 11 months ago

            Those teams you will be 5 points behind also have had the ref moments this season. Can't lay judgement on the ref decisions. If so, I think, you've to factor every teams ref officiating

                He's been a troll since he started posting, he just upped his game lately. He has multiple accounts that have conversations with each other

                  I like the way he says he's American and then starts using words like roster

              The only way to get Salah is:
              Kdb and Sterling
              to
              Salah and up to 8.2 (who you advise?) -4

              Y or N ?

                • 7 Years
                4 years, 11 months ago

                Sterling plays Burnley. Do you really think it's a good idea to get rid? Let alone for a -4..

                If that's the only way I think I'd leave it.

              3. Emiliano Sala

              Do you think spurs my rest eriksen in coming weeks?
              I can see no one playing his position

                • 9 Years
                4 years, 11 months ago

                I think more likely he starts and comes off.

                Very fit player and like you say no obvious replacement.

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

                Alli can play in his position. (Alli, Moura, Son, Llorente) or just a change of formation. Surprised he's not had a rest yet I think if he gets one it will be against Brighton otherwise probably no rest. At most comes off early a couple times if winning.

                    Unlucky. Big hits are high risk, high reward.

                    Barnes couldn't have foreseen, but Vardy and hazard not a big surprise.

                    You could match the 25, but the extra 12 is a struggle.

Only way can get in is either for 1) Erikson out or with a 2) -4 on someone like Jota or Wilson to fodder or leave alone 3). I could also do 4) vardy to firm but vardy in form.

                    I'd downgrade Trippier (you have 3 strong Def's in TAA, VVD, Laporte)

              How do we rate Cavani? Do we think he could replace Lukaku? Is he well suited to PL?

                He’s nearly 33 so nice to your typical Man United signing.

                Maybe he could do a good job but very short term 1-3 seasons

                Won’t turn united into title contenders

                  Hmm, OK thanks - so maybe we sign him with a view to buying time for Rashy to develop

                    Rashford is 22 in October, been at United since age 7, made his debut more than 3 years ago, a full international with World Cup experience.

                    Yes I think he will improve but don’t get Cavani to ‘buy time’ for Rashford to develop.

                    What’s he gonna develop ? Photos? Extra ears?

                      Ok, what about Skriniar?

                        Maybe he might develop skriniar but only if he didn’t wash.

                          I meant shall we sign him 😆

                            Skriniar is great, hope you dont sign him!

                              Apparently he’s issued a come get me plea to Ole so it’s looking good!

                                hes in discussions to sign a new contract though, seems more likely hes staying for now

                  Van Persie? Falcao?

                  1. FPL Forward Thinker
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • 5 Years
                    4 years, 11 months ago

                    Van Persie was 29 years and 11 days old when he signed for United, won one title before he was 30 then what?

                    Falcao?? Ha ha ha ha ha

                    1. The Ejiptian King
                      • 5 Years
                      4 years, 11 months ago

                      RvP was a great signing, won us that title and patched over an average squad.

                      1. FPL Forward Thinker
                        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                        • 5 Years
                        4 years, 11 months ago

                        Not doubting he was a sensation and a great player and great for United for few years especially the first season but he wasn’t nearly 33 when United signed him.

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

                      RvP was fantastic for us tbf - was a major contributing factor in us winning that title

                        • 5 Years
                        4 years, 11 months ago

                        Sign a 29 year old striker with proven premier league track record
                        Or
                        Sign a near 33 year old, great player but for how much longer.

                        Cavani Would not be the signing I’d be after

                          Yeah I’m with you dude

                          If juve sign Felix I’m all over dybala

                      Falcao was 28 and on loan for such a little time.

                      Yes Man U sign players in their 30s but it’s not typical

                        Maybe Hudson Odoi?

                            Maxi Gomez/ Arnie/ Zaha

                              Not heard of the 1st one and don’t feel Arnie is a Utd player.

                              Like the Zaha idea though. Feel like an opportunity at a big club is overdue

                        Thoughts on the following for a hit?

                        Eriksen + KDB (injured) -> Moura + Sterling (-2)

                        -2 as KDB wont play

                          Still a -4 as you have a bench

                        Probability on Salah outscoring Mane against Huddersfield?

                              Thanks. My only is that if mendy doesn't play, jonny vs wat and bednarek vs bou are not interesting options

                            They’re not but clean sheets are hard to predict anyway obviously Liverpool are more likely to keep one. I think mane has the better upside myself I may live to regret that comment but that’s my thoughts!

                              Thanks. If I get mane I should C him. What if klopp subs him around 60 minutes and sterling hauls vs burnley 😀

                                Change your question to "how likely", answering that is all you can do now. Then if the reverse happens you see if there was anything you could learn from for your next decision

                                Yes that’s always a risk but mane could score well against Huddersfield in an hour.

                          Struggling to choose which players to bench with this lot plus have 2 free transfers and triple captain still to play. Any advice?

                            TC Mane if any

                            Bench Valery for sure
                            Im torn between Foster and Ryan ( I have Duffy too) Im probably playing safe and going Foster Duffy combo

                            Tough choices for you- but i would bench

                              Thanks guys. Guess it's best to be in a position of having too many options than not enough! Currently on 72 Bench Boost for the week with 13 including captain to play.

                            Yes looks good, not sure about a Southampton clean sheet but you never know. Clean sheets I have a feeling will be few and far between in the run in anyway.

                          Hi,

                          I’m currently 26 points behind the leader in my ML.

                          I have Salah and he has Mane. I have TC left. Should I TC on Salah if I know he does not have him? (I can monitor team value to see if he gets him in). I will be swapping Eriksen for Mane this week to cover his position.

                          Views?

                          Thanks...

                            Salah finally coming good again resulting in Liverpool edging the title race in my eyes - he's also a bit of a differential as far as transfers in are concerned at the moment.

                            1. MadeinIreland
                              • 14 Years

                              I could also not bother with Mane and get BSilva in instead to have even more differentials. He has Sterling too and I have Aguero.

                            Any thoughts here?

                            Lloris
                            Kola, Laporte, Robbo
                            Son, Erik, KDB, Deulefeu
                            Kun(c), Jim, Vardy

                            Ryan, JWP, Duffy, Valery

                            2ft, 1.0 it

                            Obviously KDB likely to be moved on, but rival has Mane and I'm chasing so probably avoiding.
                            He also has Kun so was thinking Kun and KDB to Sterling and Bobby?

                              Can you do KDB > Salah & Vardy > Wilson ?

                                No, unfortunately. Leaves me with 6.4

                                  Don't laugh, but I'm considering Ings as part of a 3-5-2 / 3-4-3 rotation but with BOU/ west h/ HUDD in the last three, could be a nifty little differential - PLUS you'd have Salah!

                                  1. ItOnlyTook9Years
                                    • 8 Years
                                    4 years, 11 months ago

                                    Ha! Oh, sorry you said don't laugh.

                                    I wouldn't normally consider Salah for the price vs his form, but he's possibly the only player that could make up the points (especially as I can TC).

                                    Vardy in great form though

                                    1. steveansell

                                      Yeah, I just don't like the Leicester fixtures, so ditched him on my wild card - then he went and scored. Salah becoming a differential in my mini league that I seriously want though.

                            Only thing im considering is starting Cathcart over Valery...

                              I'd play Valery. GTG

                                      I doubt they are the same as ours, probably a type of hot dog

                                      Trump is a sausage roll. He’s not very popular.

                                    Whoosh. Hardly right for a United fan to use in that period.
                                    It’s an English expression first used before the US existed.

                                Thick and thin in the real supporters world means travelling 200 miles in winter for an evening kick off when you are working the next day and getting beat 3 - 0 as expected

                              GW 36 is definitely going to be Salah vs Mané. It will be exciting to watch who returns more points on Friday

                                    Spurs fixtures are too good until the end to replace Lloris, I'd do 3.

                                      i was leaning towards this, is he nailed though??

                                          A million dollar question, however, I am starting to think he is based on his recent attacking returns against Porto and Cardiff

                                          Anyone could be rested against Hudds, including him. You'd think TAA never plays if you go by the amount of comments worrying about him starting on a weekly basis here.

                                      I'm thinking 1 myself, though I expect Vardy may get points against Arsenal... but I just want the 3rd pool for Huddersfield.

                                          yeah i figured i needed double pool attack, but could firmino be rotated? tbh i have mane too, and he could easily be rotated

                                            I'd think firmino the least likely to be rested after the benching in Porto game.

                                          Pride thing at the moment, honestly. Rival's caught up from 100 points back.

                                        Oh, duh. Could also do Doherty > TAA instead.

                                        Doherty to TAA instead maybe?

                                          Just realized that was an options, too.

                                      Want to buy and TC Mane.
                                      But the plan will be failed if he is rested vs HUD.

                                          He will start, I believe

                                            Hope so and I maybe keep Vardy for the party:)

                                          Good Ebening.

                                          Got exact cash to do Doherty > TAA for free to give me this team:

                                          0itb
                                          Lloris
                                          Robbo, Laporte, TAA
                                          Salah (TC), Eriksen, Son, Jota
                                          Kun, Jimi, Wilson
                                          (Foster) (JWP, Yoshida, Valery)

                                          Worth the move? It is that or dropping Eriksen for Mané but not feeling the love for that despite its popularity....obviously let’s see what Erik does tomorrow night!

                                          Thoughts?
                                          Cheers!

                                            Of you have the money for erik to mane without taking a hit, I’d go for that. Wait til tomorrow, maybe you’ll be forced a move.
                                            The doherty to taa is a good move if u still fancy Eriksen after the next match.

                                              Yeh I agree with this. Unfort I’d need a -4 for Erik > Mane so prob the defender move looks better but depends on Eriksen tomorrow and if we get any insight re LIV benchings

                                              Yeh. You’d think he doesn’t with his form and how important every game is now
