    Considering the bench players they have - Cech, Schurrle, Salah, Mikel, Luis - it's amazing really.

    Strongest squad in the PL but Mourinho just doesn't do rotation.

    I should've known.

    Was gonna captain Costa, but flinched because they've Remy, Drogba and Schurrle...one of whom I thought might come in.

    I've captained Sanchez, who I honestly think will start until he breaks. 60 minutes minimum from him IMO.

    Good to see my three Chelsea players all start.

    Guzan
    Azpi Clichy Baines
    Mata Siggy Yaya Hazard Downing
    Costa(c) Austin

    Subs: Sakho Dummett Wisdom

    Have a feeling Costa is going to shoot the lights out today.

    My main rival sold Hazard for Chadli at a -4.

    People are so knee-jerk at this time of year, which in my experience is the worst time of year to be knee-jerk.

    It's one thing selling him for Fab, Silva or Yaya but Chadli?!! What does be going through people's heads!

    Afternoon all. Today is the real Christmas day :D

    I'm going with the below:

    84f445b04ace7ccd7c0e56193dc29c41.png

    Glad to see my 3 Chelsea players all start.

    I'm looking for an excuse to transfer Van Persie out to load up in midfield and defence, so a poor showing today would be a great opportunity to do so. :pac: The FF Scout members article turned me off Sanchez and led me towards Van Persie.

    Good luck all. :)

    Only 1 with Giroud in my pay league and I captained him :p

    One rival has Silva captain and the other has benched hazard :o

    In fairness to him though he did bring in two superb replacements; Fabregas and Giroud who he captained. I guess he was looking for a few differentials which is understandable.

    Like that box of After Eights on the sideboard, a Chelsea goal looks like a question of when, not if..

    Had a bit too much beer yesterday and never got round to fixing my team so it's RVP captain again :( Let's hope he can come through today!

    Terry and Costa boom!

    Terry 2 goals in 2 is quite the bonus for those of us who own him.
