Well, in fairness, they’re playing Aston Villa…
Jose Mourinho and Tim Sherwood head into Stamford Bridge with both of their jobs on the line, apparently.
And, whilst the Villa boss has taken a massive gamble with his team selection in deploying the questionable likes of Jordan Ayew and Kieron Richardson, that’s not going to affect anyone’s Fantasy team. If it does, you don’t deserve to play any longer.
The most frustrating and risque of it all is Mourinho’s decision to bench Eden Hazard in what is being billed as a do-or-die game.
But no-one cares about Jose throwing the dice. They care about their Fantasy team. And Chelsea playing at home to Villa of course attracted a lot of punters to employ the Blues’ best player as their skipper. 232,840 to be precise.
It would be pretty funny though if you had him as triple captain.
232,840 Jose!

It gets worse…
Chelsea have the game sown up at 2-0. They’re coasting along and closing the thing out. Fantasy gamers are looking at what their vice captains are doing and seeing if the situation can be rectified.
83 minutes on the clock, Jose Mourinho unleashes Eden Hazard. Two points off their captain for almost a quarter of a million people.
Eden Hazard on, just the 13th time he's come on as a sub in 175 career matches with Chelsea. #cfc
