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

    Hopefully this double up on Chelsea's defense pays off fingers crossed

      I'll be doubling up as soon as I can, probably upgrading Walker in 2 weeks.

    My first GW with Costa is going well then. Glad to see he's keeping up my season tradition of 2 point captains.

  6. Ravager

    No Cedric but at least I have Amat off the bench.

    1. Evasivo
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Likewise! Had to check I didn't have Evans 1St sub!

      1. Ravager
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 9 days ago

        Really hope this is a rotation/rest issue though for Cedric.

  7. Goodricke

    Had Costa since week 2, captained him today for first time...

  8. Wilshere Knowledge
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Cedric not even on the bench...

  9. Robben Mee Blind

    1. Woy of the Wovers
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

    2. Licious Lizard

      If you playing your WBA defender away to Chelsea then you doing this game completely wrong

      1. Robben Mee Blind
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 9 days ago

        Ha yeah! Foster and McAuley on bench for me. Janmaat made a cameo to ensure the latter stays there

    4. Halftime
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Playing Foster as no other playing Goalie

    1. Feeling_blue
      • 10 Years

    1. Sillet Bang
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

  16. SirStevieG
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Mike Dean is blind.

  17. Declan
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Redmond benched too

  18. Boydinho
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Benching Foster for Pickford was right prehand?

  19. Ryan Naysmith
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

  20. Fowler23
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Pedro clean sheet banked

  21. Wilshere Knowledge
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Like for like with Pedro on for Willian. How is that going to change the pattern of the game?

  22. NATSTER
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Willian in for Pedro

  23. Whats the Huth
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Why no Cedric?!!!!

    1. Numb
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Puel said they had some doubts. Didn't specify

  24. Numb
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Jammy Evans owners

    1. Declan
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      He's still on

      1. Numb
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 days ago

        That's what I mean, he made 60 mins even with a hammy

        1. Declan
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 9 days ago

          There's 25mins left?

  25. thunder_mike
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Damn have Amat as 3rd sub

  26. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Currently on my bench: Zaha McAuley Amat 😀

    1. twoplustwo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Haha sick

    2. Fred54
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Ouch.

      Just Amat and McCauley here.

  27. HazardAGuess
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    I took a hit to bring in Cedric (Defender, I know...) with Amat first on the bench. Conflicted feelings. Lucky, though.

  28. Mark-O

    9 years, 9 days ago

    Southampton v Boro lineups look so weird

    1. The Royal Robin
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Saints team looks particularly weak.

    2. NATSTER
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Just a rotation with midweek game in mind.

  29. The Royal Robin
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Bringing in Alonso for a hit feels like a good move at the moment.

  30. Knowledgeable meerkat
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Someone needs to tell Robbie Savage that Willian on for Alonso just won't work. Donkey

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Why? Willian could easily play wing back against a team barely attacking.
