After as many as nine midfielders registered double-figure Fantasy Premier League (FPL) hauls in yesterday’s eight matches, all eyes turn to the Liberty as Chelsea look to extend their 100% start under Antonio Conte.

Eden Hazard carries the armband hopes of many going into the 4pm kick-off. The Belgian topped our Gameweek 4 Captain Poll with 25% of the votes cast after producing points in all three opening fixtures.

Diego Costa has matched Hazard for consistency so far and was drafted in by over 362,000 FPL managers last week as the search to replace the suspended Sergio Aguero intensified.

There’s no real surprise to see that Chelsea are unchanged from the XI that swept aside Burnley at the Bridge last time around. This means that new boys David Luiz and Marcos Alonso have to make do with a place on the bench.

For the hosts, Francesco Guidolin makes two changes, with Neil Taylor and Ki Sung-yeung coming in for wide men Mo Barrow and Wayne Routledge.

Stephen Kingsley is named in the starting XI for the fourth successive Gameweek, then, raising hopes that – along with team-mate Jordi Amat – he will continue to offer us one of the few viable options in the sub 4.5 price bracket.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    4. UshFPL
      10 years, 1 month ago

      No, new rules. If a penalty is given for denying clear goalscoring opportunity then its a yellow card, not red

        10 years, 1 month ago

        Would've been a red before.

      2. Malcolm Tucker for England …
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 1 month ago

        don't get penalised twice for a legit attempt

      3. VS10_
        10 years, 1 month ago

        If the player tries to play the ball inside the box he only gets a yellow, even if it's a clear goal scoring opportunity.
