2. Eden Hazard (Chelsea) - 35.3% Of Teams Selected
Hazard had a fantastic opening season in 2012/13, landing 190 points for his Fantasy managers. He nabbed 9 goals and 16 assists last time out, and with an assist already under his belt from the opening two games, there are tentative signs that that form may be ready to continue this season. It's encouraging that he's played the full two opening games, something the £10.5 million Juan Mata can't say. He has a free week on its way in Gameweek 3, something that may reduce his popularity slightly. However, he appears to be worth hanging on to for another few weeks if you can spare the cash. However, if Mourinho loses faith in the Belgian at any stage, even for a game; don't hesitate to dump him. You're paying too much money to be buying a squad rotation player.
