Fantasy Premier League: 7 Players To Get In Your Team After International Break

7. Eden Hazard

The Chelsea star's Fantasy Premier League season hasn’t really got going yet because of ankle surgery. As it stands, only 3.3% of managers have the Belgian genius in their team.

That number will start to rise now that Hazard is approaching full fitness - he made his first league start of the season in Chelsea’s 1-0 defeat by Manchester City. But quick-thinking managers will be able to get a step ahead of their rivals by picking Hazard in their team now.

Chelsea’s first piece of business upon returning from the international break is the visit of rock-bottom Crystal Palace, who have yet to collect a point or score a single Premier League goal this season. Subsequent games against Watford and Bournemouth, who are both among the worst seven defences in the division, are also opportunities for serious points.

Hazard does not come cheap - his £10.5m price tag makes him the second most expensive midfielder in the game behind Alexis Sanchez - but he is a long-term investment, as well as a guarantee of short-term reward. He was the second-top scorer in the entire game for the 2016-17 campaign, amassing 215 points, again only behind Arsenal’s want-away Chilean.
