Hazard now 98% on FPL.

I need to make 3 transfers to make room for him, I have 2 freebies at least but I really don't want to have to pull the trigger tonight but I may have to.

Thinking of Jones, Davies, Sterling out for Moreno, Zeegelaar, Hazard

Anyone know much about this Zeegelaar guy, he's scored well in the last 2 games but why has he got his place is someone injured? Is he likely to be dropped just as quick, I need a 4.4m Def so that's why I'm considering him.

Just realising how late it is, won't have much time to ponder this or get feedback, what time approx do price rises occur, 1.30am ish?

Get the transfers done before 1.10am
Holebas is the competition.
He has plenty of pace and looked good today against a poor Newcastle.

Done

Yeah looking back over their line ups it seems they reverted to a 3-5-2 formation and he has come in for Holebas, he's playing wing back too, even better again!

I was desperate for hazard all week but I just can't justify/afford him a place in my midfield, so opted for morata instead and that's enabled Alonso in too, think that might offer more bang for buck.

Happy out with the team for the xmas period now :

Ddg
Alonso Moreno daniels
D.silva salah richarlison pogba gross
Morata kane

Elliot mbemba hegazi niasse

Morata rising tonight...I'm not waiting

This is Fake News! :pac:

Who are the hardcore Chelsea fans in here ?

Christensen looks to have ousted Luiz.

Is it because of the recent guff between Conte and Luiz ? Or was it because of injury ?

Do you think Christensen has done enough to keep his place in the first team ahead of Rudiger and Luiz ?

It seems so unlikely Abramovich would allow Conte to drop his buddy Luiz.

I think with the fixture congestions over the next 5 weeks or so, there will probably be a good bit of rotation in the Chelsea defence between Cahill, Rudiger, Luiz, Zappa and Christensen - Moses was on the bench yesterday too I think so can come back in.

Alonso and Azpi look the safest bests though are pricey

PS - I am not a Chelsea fan so just my opinion!

Hazard in for Eriksen. I love Eriksen and am sure he'll probably score well soon, but I just can't have a 9.5 player who blanks five times in a row. Also, Hazard

Did the exact same - Sorry Christian, I really thought you were a season keeper

I brought in to replace Mbemba. I know they have United and Spurs next but neither are free scoring at the moment.

My next problem is Vardy but he'll manage another week in my team.

I have 10.7 to replace him and already have Morata and Kane.

Yeah. It’s 3 from Azpilicueta, Cahill, Rüdiger, Christensen and Luiz. Could see quite a bit of rotation I suppose.

I already have Alonso but with Dann being on the bench yesterday then I want to get rid and Chelsea have a lovely run so I’d like to double up.

I thought a Chelsea fan might know if Luiz is being shown the door so then it would be 3 from the above 4.

Cartman78

Still miraculously have 2 FTs burning a hole in one pocket...and 1.8m ITB burning a hole in the other pocket

Have boiled it down to 3 options:

1) Speroni to DDG (0 ITB)
2) Speroni to DDG + Jesus to Morata (0 ITB)
3) Vardy to Wilson + Zaha to Hazard (0.5m ITB)

I'm favouring option 2 at the minute as it leaves me with a stronger squad overall...all feedback appreciated as always

I think you might find it hard to sell Jesus after today’s game.

VW 1

Have done Eriksen to salah. Too many blanks to keep him in, and salah looking like more than just a flash in the pan.

Want to try to work Zaha in, and tempted to dump lukaku for kane before next game week.

Definitely 2.

DGG is a season keeper and allows you to have a fodder 4m or 3.9m keeper on the bench with no headaches as to who to pick each week.

Anyone want to talk me out of the following -12

Aguero to Morata
Silva to Gross
Jones to Azpil Dave
Maguire to Alonso

Would leave me with

Elliot
Azpil, Alonso, Mee (Gomes, Lowton)
Sane, Salah, Ramsey, Gross, Richarlison
Kane, Morata (Niasse)

That would be my Christmas shopping all done and dusted hopefully with only 0.1 itb. A Chelsea CS on Weds could "pay" for the -12 is my thinking.

I would just get either azpi or Alonso
If you really what double Chelsea defence get courtouis
But then if you want hazard...........

Was just working on the Hazard option: I'll start this by saying that I thought Vardy looked sharpe on Friday and there might be a Christmas party.
Also, don't think I'm happy reshaping things for Moratta and Hazard, it's one or the other for me.

Aguero to Vardy
Silva to Hazard
Jones to Azpil
Maguire to 4.3 (Klaven for homes if needed, Mariappa might be worth a gamble as sub until Jan WC)

Elliot
Azpil, Mee (Lowton, Gomes, 4.3)
Sane, Salah, Hazard, Ramsey, Richarlison
Kane, Vardy


As I typed it, it's fairly clear I prefer the Hazardless/first option. I don't think double Chelsea defence is too bad of an idea. Assuming Azpil is the first, I could upgrade Elliot to Court as you say but Maguire to Alonso costs me similar in terms of upgrade but I'm getting potential attacking returns... why would I go for Court? Convince me
I'll be WCing early Jan.

Vardy didn't have a shot on goal against an awful west ham team I would not be buying him
I'd prefer moratta and then go without hazard if you want
Courtouis just seemed like a good option as second Chelsea defence but I can see your reasoning

I am now very close to taking a second -8
Lukaku to moratta done
Alli (reluctantly ) to Salah to be done

And then the kicker
Huunemair to Azpi or Alonso!!!!!
I want to keep Bavies now given the uncertainty around rose and I can ride out rotation with a strong defence . Bavies is an easy downgrade to a Jones again if he is ever fit
Next week transfer would be naughton to Gomez or Moreno or maybe even marriappa
Then I'd be looking at Zaha to gross and T Caroll to RLC
Would have 15 starters for Xmas
No united defence though

Chesty08

With Chelsea's current position (chasing City), their upcoming fixtures and Hazards current form, I think Hazard is a must have for the Xmas period.

What was even more noticeable was that Batman didn't even make the bench leaving Morata as the only recognised striker. We seen how much gametime Costa got... I think both a double up should be done as there will be so many rotations elsewhere with City, Liverpool and Utd.

I can't believe I'm typing this but I'm keeping Alli and not getting Salah for him..........spurs have a lovely run and he is underperforming goalwise but they will come
Now the big decision
Do I sell zaha for Salah and not get a Chelsea defender
Or spend the money of the defender

Sure Alli to Salah will always only be .5 or so away ..............

Sterling and Lukaku to Pogba and Morata. Tempted to take a -4 and crowbar Azpi in too.

COH

Hazard is a funny one for me - great points potential, captain choice and always seems to finish the season with a great overall return but I literally NEVER seem to own him at the right time.

elefant

Valencia to Alonso.

Agonised over it a bit, but comparing their upcoming fixtures it should pay off,and Alonso doesn't look to have much in way of competition.

Would have liked to have sprung for Zappacosta if I was sure he'd keep his place with Moses returning.

Same with me, anytime I get him in its a guaranteed run of 2 pointers.

To Haz or not to Haz...I just can't decide

fennor72

With all the talk of Hazard what about Fabregras? He's only 6.9m and up until yesterday was a regular starter.

No way for me, doesn’t contribute enough points and won’t start every game

The time to sell aguero is if he starts today. If he doesn't start today I'd hold him till midweek.

For your own sanity please ensure Salah is in your team next gameweek.

its coming down to this so
Alli to salah and Hunemair to azpi/alonso for -8

Or zaha to salah and have no chelsea defender (or enough money to get one in ) for -4. Tcarroll to RLC with another transfer at some point

I cant shake the feeling selling Alli at this point will be a mistake
Looking at his fixtures and goal scoring record over past 2 years the goals will come

Looking at Salahs........if he keeps up this rate he will be hitting Ronaldo territory. He is not Ronaldo
