GW Discussion: What is wrong with Hazard?

Ok, so for our Fantasy Premier League GW15 Discussion, we are going to talk about what has possibly gone wrong with Eden Hazard?




Coming in at 10.9 of an FPL price and has returned 44 points, 44 ah c'mon Hazard, get it together. Even though, this is the case, Eden Hazard has still been picked by 15% of FPL managers, probably Ghost Ships. 

What a stat for you guys, for the GW9 game against Aston Villa, he played 8 minutes, yes you are reading that right, 8 minutes. Thank God, they won that game 2-0 and didn't really need him. 

His best game so far this season came in a home game against Arsenal during GW6, in which they won the game 2-0. Other than that, Eden Hazard has had a pretty sub-standard season so far. I can see why so many shipped him out early on and probably why most of the 15% of managers that still have him are Ghost Ships. 

Chelsea currently sit in 14th position of the Premier League having lost 7 this season, more than they did in their title winning season last time out. Out of their last six games, they have lost 3, won two and drawn once. But, they are slowly ascending up the table. question is, will they make it to Europe for next season, or be forced to do a Manchester United on it. 

As for Eden Hazard, Chelsea's and his next six fixtures are: Bournemouth, Leicester City, Sunderland, Watford, Manchester United and Crystal Palace. Out of those six, all except the Manchester United game a winnable. Manchester United's defence and all!

But, out of the other five, Eden Hazard could add to his Premier League tally of 1 goal, again you are reading that currently, 1 goal and 3 assists this season against, Bournemouth, Leicester City, Sunderland and Watford. Against Leicester, they just have to shut down Riyad Mahrez and Jamie Vardy a feat that no Premier League team has been able to do. 

Why, I have not put Palace in there, is because of 1) their manager Alan Pardew allows gets his team motivated for games against the big teams and 2) it is a London Derby after all. 

So, possibly Eden Hazard is now becoming not a "must have", but is worth placing in the watch-list between now and 3rd of January.
