Fantasy Football Tips - 5 Expensive Flops You Should Always Avoid
5. Eden Hazard
Team: Chelsea Value: £9.1 million Total Points: 17 Much was expected of Eden Hazard when he joined Chelsea from Lille last summer. The Belgian winger impressed during his debut season at Stamford Bridge, scoring nine Premier League goals and providing 11 assists, going down alongside midfield colleague Juan Mata as one of the team's best players. However, this season has been a different story so far, with Hazard failing to find the back of the net once in the six games he has featured in, providing just one assist in that time. His overall points tally is disappointing - just 17 - while he was hauled off against Tottenham in his side's last game. At £9.1 million, Hazard simply isn't doing enough at this stage to warrant selection in your Fantasy Football team, and unless his goalscoring improves, he's certainly one to avoid right now. Particularly as he is carrying an ankle injury, and is a doubt for the weekend game against Norwich.
