56.3% of Fantasy Football managers picked Eden Hazard in their sides this year and I would imagine that huge proportion of that gave him the captain's armband as Chelsea hosted Swansea at Stamford Bridge. DO NOT LOSE HOPE. The Belgian midfielder is undoubtedly the best midfielder in the league and is simply a 'must have' pick in this year's competition. You could potentially cash-in on some beautiful Eden Hazard captaincy points this weekend as a majority of managers will not trust him based on his Week One performance and will have doubts about him against Manchester City. The midfielder did not score in either of the Blues' games against Manuel Pellegrini last season and will be desperate to prove his worth this weekend. *WARNING TRANSFERS FROM GAMEWEEK 2 MUST BE CONFIRMED BY FRIDAY 14 AUGUST AT 6.45PM AS ASTON VILLA TAKE ON MANCHESTER UNITED*
