Dugout Discussion – Chelsea vs West Bromwich Albion

A four-match slate of Sunday fixtures gets underway at Stamford Bridge as Chelsea host West Bromwich Albion in the noon kick-off.

Eden Hazard and Diego Costa are the main weapons of choice for Fantasy Premier League managers.

Both clinched a place in the top three of this week’s Captain Poll.

Hazard has racked up 60 of his 97 points at the Bridge, though has lacked Costa’s overall consistency. The most popular player in FPL, with an ownership level over 51%, the Spain international has blanked just twice in 14 Gameweeks.

Three goals and as many assists in four suggests that Matt Phillips is the man most likely to breach a Blues defence that’s conceded just twice in the last eight rounds of fixtures.

We’ll be looking for Scout Pick Marcus Alonso for points at both ends of the pitch today. The Spaniard – who remains a differential with under 7% ownership – has served up a goal, an assist and two clean sheets in his last three at the Bridge.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Who is Muniesa displacing? Is he worth getting in for a run of 3/4 games? I need a defender for 4.2 and I fancy stoke defensively. I'll be fine with it if he is displacing Bardsley (who is out for a while still yet) but not if it is Shawcross who seems to be very close to a return.

    Guys,

    1. Rose or Walker? Do you think they are subject to rotation risk? Poch seems to have a track record of rotating the fullbacks.

    2. Alli or Eriksen? Slightly skewed towards Alli based on gut feel and he'll be a good differential imo.

    Happy to discuss. Please help!
