Fantasy Football Tips: 5 Essential Transfers For Gameweek 17

3. Eden Hazard

Team: Chelsea Value: £10 million Points In GW16: 5 Arsenal play host to Chelsea next Monday in what is arguably the tie of gameweek 17. Top of the table versus third, the Blues could usurp the Gunners at the summit of the Premier League if they win here - with just two points separating the pair. If the dress rehearsal in the League Cup on October 29 was anything to go by, Chelsea should win this one, having already claimed a 2-0 win over their rivals away from home this season. Of course, both fielded weakened sides that day, but Jose Mourinho's men proved they have the mettle to go to the Emirates and pick up a win, while Man City demonstrated last weekend that this Arsenal side is far from infallible. Any Chelsea victory is likely to be inspired by Eden Hazard, who has been in awesome form this season, with six goals and seven assists from 16 games. The Belgian has been relatively quiet in his last two games, but the brace he netted against Sunderland earlier this month, to go with his one assist that day, shows exactly what he is capable of.
