Antonio Conte’s team is on a great run right now and he’s going to play this Sunday with the advantage of knowing the results of other contenders from the previous day, so he’s going to have a lot of time to plan exactly what he wants to see from his boys on the pitch when his side leaves Stamford Bridge to play against Middlesbrough.
Chelsea’s currently sitting at the second spot of the Premier League table, one point behind Jurgen Klopp’s outstanding Liverpool, so you know the Italian boss is going to throw the finest of his repertoire against Aitor Karanka and his men, as he desperately needs the three points.
This one looks like it’s going to be quite a one-sided match, as the blues are a clear favourite to take the victory on the road, and Karanka has really struggled to find consistency from most of his players during this first eleven weeks of the season.
So today, we’ll take a look at the 3 best choices from Chelsea for your fantasy team, as you also have to make adjustments if you want to celebrate at the end of the season after defeating all of your buddies.
Eden Hazard
This one doesn’t even need an explanation, as Hazard is not only the most talented player on the squad, but he’s arguably the most talented player in the whole Premier League. The Belgian is having a great bounce-back season and he’s on the verge of another great game against a low profile team like Middlesbrough.
Chelsea’s completely rolling in offence and it’s because of the outstanding level we’ve seen from Eden during this eleven weeks, and the blues are set to star on yet another high scoring game this Sunday, so go ahead and make adjustments in your budget to acquire Hazard if you haven’t done so yet.
Marcos Alonso
The Spaniard is having a great run and given the fact that Conte prefers to play with his fullbacks as wings, he’s set to record an assist or two during this game, spending most of the time on enemy territory.
On top of that, his eligibility as a defender could let you some space for yet another offensive midfielder and score some more points while you also get rewarded for clean sheets, and Middlesbrough is going to have a really tough time scoring against Thibaut Courtois and Chelsea’s 3 central defenders.
Diego Costa
This one was another no-brainer, as there’s no way that you don’t have the Premier League leading goal scorer on your team right now.
Considering how much of a mismatch this matchup is, having Diego Costa on your team would be the wisest choice and expect the hothead to net a couple of scores against Victor Valdes with great ease.
