Damn game was a beast, great for chelsea :D

No way should Cole have been subbed off, what a ridiculous idea. Although he could be exhorted to focus a bit more on defending.


Excatly i sad it earlier. We don't need attacking full backs no more. In the way we play they HAVE TO TUCK IN, and help out defending vs counter attacks. Mata Hazard Torres Rambo(whoever on right) and Lamps are more than capable of unlocking a defense without leaving ourselves open at the back. Obviously there is times when they can push on, but it is not needed no more.


True, 100% agree. Occasionally it is great for Cole to get forward because he can easily take the opponent off guard with some of his runs and especially when the opponent is defending like a bitch, but yeah he needs to be focused on tucking in especially in the tighter games this season. Also I'm really pleased by the effort Hazard puts in in defence, he Torres and Mata all put in shifts going backwards when it's needed.

Also, Hazard is really already looking like a total boss. Seems he has not been perturbed by the move to the higher quality league, even after teams try to hack at him and bring some rough play. Will be interesting to see how he fares against Newcastle and then other big teams. The Chelsea midfield looks like it will be extremely competitive in the coming campaign.

Hazard said recently in an interview that the physicality of the Premier League doesn't faze him very much since he dealt with similar approaches in Ligue 1. Which just leaves us to hope that he doesn't get injured.

As for the midfield, I was really unprepared for how quickly the ball was being zipped around against Reading.


Yeah so true. 5 assists in 2 games :D Amazing. This player is going to be something special, if he had the finishing to match his passing, he would be as good as Messi/Ronaldo (potentially) imo due to how quick he turns with the ball and finds a pass it's exceptional! And to top it off...he says his brother is better than him! HAHAHAHAH <3

Curious to see some people doubting the talent of Hazard. Still I can't help but being annoyed at the poor recruitment in defense. Azpi could be a cool opportunity but meh I'm worried ... The 4-5-1 seems to work but I found it very difficult to maintain if we have defensive backs that acts like wing backs ...

Some correction to do in the OP :

+ Show Spoiler +
Eden Hazard – Lille > Chelsea = £35million
Thorgan Hazard - Lens > Chelsea = 1M€

Deportivo LaCaruna -> Deportivo de La Coruña

A lot of typos in the Italian part : Fiorentina, Pescara, Palermo ^^

Hazard looks pretty beastly but lets see how he does against the big clubs, he could be like Modric who faded away and was basically non-existent last season in the big games.

From what I've seen from his work at Ligue 1, he definitely has a good shot especially a long power shot. I expect 10 goals at least from him this season

ah thanks :D
anyone else using their wildcard on just the 2nd week? going for a team makeover lol


I used it on week 1, decided to see who was looking sharp in the opening games and switch everyone out. Also, Chelsea have no game for like week 3 I think, so made sure there were no chelsea players in, they will come in later.

But I'm right in saying that for the Prem fantasy league Chelsea misses out on a week because of the ESC? Therefore making all chelsea players score 0 points for that week? Gameweek 3 has no Chelsea game.

which is when you sub out your Chelsea players and profit from them playing twice in a week and having 1 more weeks worth of points.

still got the double points, switched out for vs newcastle and no games week, gona bring in hazard for qpr and we'll take it from there . Although I'm sure there is a much better place and time for wildcard. Man, the guy who got highest overall this week put ivanovic as captain...crazy bastard.

Although I have to say, Ivanovic really is a cold as ice finisher, he could easily play as a forward.

By teh way any english people can turn over to ITV4 to watch Liverpool against Hearts.
