Diego Costa Injured rumour

[10Hughes]

Back till next time... By my recollection he has a nice looking fixture at home to West Brom in November. However this is straight after another international break...

Now he is available again, but he needs to be under special care.

speshul care from speshul one
YAAAAAY!

[MoSe]

hhhmmmm.... it looks like everybody not already owning him, decided to transfer him in NOW togheter....

[wibble_mcwoo]

With trepidation, am leaving Costa out for now; brought in Oscar alongside Fab to avoid an 8-pt hit that wrecks my midfield.

Costa is a lot of things but beautiful is not one of them.

It will be beautiful only if we see a big score under his name come 21.00 tonight.

Massive weekend. A lot of people (including me), have foregone Costa.

If he gets a hat trick, we're fooked!

I have gambled the c on Hazard, but this fear is making me think of playing it safe and switching to Kun. But then again, if Costa does bag a few, I'd hope for Hazard to get an assist or two. But then again, he got nothing when Costa got his hat trick against Swansea. Argh...

Exactly. I don't believe in that word 'coverage'. Costa could score a hat-trick with Fabregas assisting all 3 whilst Hazard misses chances and assists the assister which is pretty much what has been happening all season.

A big score from Costa could put a serious dent in non owners seasons. He is still hugely owned and I would imagine that the majority of those owners will be captaining him. It's gonna be hide behind the couch time!

Few options this week so naturally it will open out the scores.

I bought an extra big couch to hide behind. In black, to fit the mood.

Big week indeed - it's the first time in a while where there's a really big divide mainly coming down to one big heavily owned player with good players on either side. Spiderm4tt will lead the Costa-less teams into battle this week. Maybe we should give the captaincy of Costa owners to handcockjr as a reward for recent more involved posting.

Then there's those who have taken the punt on Sanchez or Hazard too. We could see big swings in minileagues by this time tonight.

Have decided to go with only one of Costa or Aguero for the foreseeable future. Tactic would have worked well if I could have matched the player and the points (have currently missed both hat-tricks). Currently on Aguero but plan to drop back to Costa in due course to free up cash

I am nervous, yes? Having said that, I got 86 points the week of Aguero's hat-trick (without him) and had a considerable rise. Points come from 11 players not one and getting a strong balanced team where all 11 contribute is my priority. Still not sure about my choice of Pelle as captain though

Sanchez capper here... I really hope Costa fails this week, so his price can go further down, and I can get him back for the same money I sold him for. It's QPR, so I kinda hope Mou keeps him benched and fresh for the (khem) big game with Maribor.

Also, as a Fabregas owner, I've been waiting for his points to dry out, as Hazard is playing better and better, so this might be the week Hazard goes berserk.

I'm in the no Costa boat, Hazard (c) teamed with Aguero. Costa still scares me and I'll look at getting him in alongside Aguero and Pelle next GW

[The Catman]

No Costa here either. Not really happy with it, but managed to recover from missing Aguero's burst, hope I don't have to this week....

[Carbone]

Costa starts... according to Carlsberg thingy.

[Bestpay]

Chelsea confirmed team:
Courtois; Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry (c), Filipe Luis; Matic, Fabregas; Willian, Oscar, Hazard; Diego Costa.

Cech, Zouma, Ake, Ramires, Salah, Schurrle, Drogba

So costa starts!

[Joshua82]

Never in doubt

[mayweather]

Never in doubt

costa sellers right now im not one of them unfortunately.

[HungryHungrySuarez]

regardless of blanking, i doubt very much he'll go down in price. if anything, he'll rise this week as the rest of those that got rid get him back.

i don't think i'm going to bother with him for now. he's a nice option for when aguero gets crocked again.

[Robin Write]

He tends to score much better when he is yellow flagged.

[Douglas Reynholm]

Don't mind a blank week, got the weapons elsewhere.....
