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

      Strange decision to bench Zaha?

      1. Atimis
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Brought in Costa and Kane. Who says hits don't work?

      1. Fred54
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Reply fail.

    5. Fred54

      9 years, 4 months ago

      Fwiw I have amassed 18 points from last 4 captains, almost as bad.

      1. grumpyman
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        I imagine your rank has taken a kick in the nuts too then? Sad times.

  4. FALCAO & MOU
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    I went de Bruyne + Anichebe over Costa + Can, FML.

    1. Ryan Naysmith
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      what the hell

  5. karvs155
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Best Combo?
    A) Alonso + Diomande
    B) Pieters + fwd under 6.8?

  6. CABAYE4
    • 14 Years

    No more action please!

  7. GoodFella93

  8. Nomar

    • 16 Years

    Anyone else's Chelsea link been playing up all game?

  9. Numb
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    I assume most people captained Costa given his form?

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      No

      1. Numb
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        I don't mean you specifically.

        1. Make United Great Again
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          I know

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      EO is over 100 so probably

      1. The Fantastic Mr Fox
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        No its. Not overall EO

    3. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I definitely did.

    4. 1966 was a great year for E…
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Overall, yes. Top 10k, no.

      So casuals, basically.

    5. AllGonePozzo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I captained Firmino and still happy with decision despite Costa's haul.

      1. Bleach †
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Costas haul? 😀 😀 😀

  10. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Not having a Chelsea defender this week is going to hurt me

  11. Pariße
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    If you own Sanchez and Hazard, but captained the latter there's not much to worry about, leaving Amat on the bench is a bigger problem 🙂

    1. Alnair
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Amat's first on my bench with Cedric in my XI 😀

  12. The Fantastic Mr Fox
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Somebody buy costa and break the streak. Take one for the team 😀

  13. BrutalLogiC
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    need Spurs big win to nil 😡

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      A Kane brace is enough! 🙂

  14. The Royal Robin
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Why is Azpi on for 3 BAPS? 😐

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      He currently has the most BPS

      1. walkman666
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Ha! Appropriate reply

  15. PvA
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    I always thought Dawson and McAuley were the same person

  16. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Alonso you donkey. Wasted 8 points 🙁

    1. GoodFella93
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      ?

  17. Bleach †
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    I would be way more succesful, if the game would be without the double pts for (c).

  18. TwiggsJameson
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Hopefully Redmond will stay on the bench and I can get Diomande off the bench.

  19. camarozz
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Raging. Haz (C) fail yet again..

  20. 1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    He's not getting another yellow card all season is he.

    1. Numb
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      He will start getting a few after the extension to 10

    2. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      No.. he's vital for the clash against Sunderland! My (c) is locked!

  21. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    At least Kun's moment of madness last week forced me to sell him for Costa

    1. sminkypinky
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Same

  22. andymck
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    At least taking a hit to get Alonso in for Williams is looking like it might pay off!

  23. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Matic yellow

    on the tightrope

  24. FALCAO & MOU
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    De Bruyne + Hazard hurts so much man.

  25. Fowler23
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    What are the odds Costa will not get a yellow for the rest of the season.

    1. fiveyears
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Only has 4 GWs to get his 5th anyway doesn't he? Then it sets to 10 for a ban

    2. FALCAO & MOU
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Nil the way he is playing right now.

    3. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      As long as he makes the date they increase YC threshold, not really concerned.

  26. @ocprodigy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Mane (c) step forward.

    1. SW6
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      This! Brace incoming I reckon

  27. The Royal Robin
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    58 with Clyne, Firmino and BAPS to come. B-)

  28. Revival

    Costa on pens with Hazard off?

    1. Alnair
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I think it's Fabragas or Willian after Oscar but could be wrong.

  29. sminkypinky
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Come on Alonso. Still a differential in my ML

    1. The Royal Robin
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      +1

      Always looks a threat.

    2. andymck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Only about 7% overall too

    3. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      +1
