GW36 sees our focus on the Battle to avoid relegation and Chelsea’s title winning celebrations against Liverpool. Chelsea’s title winning celebrations will continue this weekend, when they host Liverpool at home and there will be an uneasy, unwanted moment for Liverpool fans when they are forced to watch Steven Gerrard giving John Terry and Chelsea a guard of honour as they walk out onto the pitch. Ahead of that, we take a look at a player from each club that could set this match alight. Chelsea: He is the Chelsea and Premier League player of the season, Eden Hazard. It is no wonder that Eden Hazard is both the Premier League and Chelsea player of the season with the tally of FPL points he has brought in. All 222 of them so far, for the 45.9% of FPL managers who have him in their side. Taking a look back with three fixtures left, Eden’s best week came in GW16 at home to Hull City, where Chelsea won 2-0. In 90 minutes, he scored one, assisted one and kept a clean-sheet. He got a ESP of 52 and a BPS of 48. Not bad if I do say so myself. Fucking excellent if you had him at the time. This resulted in a 14 FPL points haul for the Belgian. Pick him this week against Liverpool or be sorry after Jose Mourinho exclaimed that Chelsea would keep their focus until the end of the season, under Jose Mourinho I can definitely see that happening as Chelsea try to rack up as many points as possible. Liverpool: He is the transfer speculation youngster, Raheem Sterling. I take it that Raheem Sterling is Liverpool’s young player of the season and if I’m not mistaken could very well be their Player of the Season. His FPL stats will certainly back this up, with his closest challenger being his midfield partner Jordan Henderson on 151, Sterling 154, Henderson could easily over-take Raheem before the end of the season and it all starts this weekend. Liverpool will need to be on top form from now until the end of the season as they push for UCL football next season. Raheem Sterling will be looking to add to his points total, the best of which came on the first weekend of the season against Southampton at home. In a 2-1 in which Sterling played the full 90 minutes, scored one goal and assisted in the other. Scored three extra bonus points and came up with a FPL points haul of 13 points. Good job to those of you who had them in your team who at the time was worth 8.5 and now is worth 8.6. On to the Relegation battle… Hull City: They probably call him “Elmo”, it’s Ahmed Elmohamady. In a lack-lustre season for Hull City that has seen his points haul be mainly consisting of 2’s and 3’s, Ahmed Elmohamady has managed to thrive. At the minute, he has got a FPL points tally of 107 points. His best GW came in GW20 for Hull City at home to Everton where Hull walked away from the game with a 2-0 win and basically they controlled the game. Ahmed Elmohamady had a great game more than most, chalking up a clean-sheet and scoring one of the two goals in the victory. He came away from the game with three bonus points coming away with 11 points overall. This kind of form will have to be replicated in the run-in if Hull are to avoid relegation from Elmohamady and his Hull City team-mates. This is because Hull City face a run-in of games against Burnley, Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United, by the last game, Manchester United may have top four sown up or be battling with Liverpool to secure top four which may see Hull escape or be put to the sword. Burnley: “Big” Tom Heaton, the only keeper in this article. So, bonus points and points scored for Tom, being a keeper works slightly differently than the other player’s in this article. In a season that could see Burnley go straight back down to the Championship. Tom’s best Game came in GW16 in a 1-0 home win against “team of the season” Southampton. Tom kept a clean-sheet, secured three bonus points and came away with 15 points. Tom will need to be a giant between the sticks in the last three games in the run-in, if Burnley are to avoid relegation back to the Championship. Compared to Hull City, that is definitely a possibility for Burnley. Burnley face games against Hull City, Stoke City and Aston Villa, which under “The Ginger Mourinho” are all winnable with Stoke City definitely safe and Aston Villa more or less safe, will be concentrating on the FA Cup against Arsenal, only Hull City will be up for the fight in the run-in. I think it is a case of looking at and relying on what other teams are doing for Hull and Burnley having their future in their own hands.
