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

      I dont mind it defending is part of the game and they are excellent at it

      That's why WBA are advertising half season tickets all over Birmingham town centre. Can't give them away. Handy for me as a neutral when I want to take in a good side, went to see City play there and hoping to get to a couple of the other big games.

    Really poor from hazard there, going for the Hollywood pass when the simple pass was on

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

      This game has had enough safe, simple passes.

    Only 2 points less than Sanchez in the end

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 days ago

        He's on 3bps. Not 3baps

        1. CloudSky
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 9 days ago

    As somebody who started Amat, can I just say, you lot don't deserve your lucky points who didn't put your faith in him 😉

    1. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      I have him so far down the bench I'm not getting the lucky points!

    An Sanchez assist and captain now looking like gold

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

      The super assist, which he never intended to! 🙂

      1. Evasivo
        • 15 Years

        Hahaha

  10. SirStevieG

    Seeing how bunched Brom are around Costa makes me sick. Pulis sucks.

    1. Gnu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Yeah, let's just give Chelseas biggest threat lots of room.
      Stupid comment.

  11. Optimus.
    • 14 Years

    Gareth McAuley is 37 😯

    1. Speédy
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Really????

      1. Optimus.
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 9 days ago

        Yes, it said he turned 37 mid week

    2. Jafooli
      • 13 Years

      Points? I'll take that.....

    3. some witty pun
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      i did not know that

  12. Jamie_GAWA
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Double Chelsea defence is something I'm strongly considering..

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Who out of Hazard/Costa would you go without?

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

      Should have thought about that earlier.

    3. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Double WBA defence is much cheaper 😉

    4. Paul
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      already have

  13. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Sigh at not captaining him

  14. Shaikh91
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Hazard and iheanacho transfers were a waste :-S

  15. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Hazard to Mkhitaryan anyone???

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

      Absolutely not

      1. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 days ago

        Why not?

    2. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      I was just thinking about this too

  16. Sz21
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Based on what we ve seen so far and form over the past while..
    Would u take out Pedro for Eriksen?
    Have 1.2m in the account and thinking about it.

    Pedro seems to be doing fine though.. very good fixtures too.

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Very sideways IMHO. Keep the FT, upcoming fixtures look great as you say.

      1. Sz21
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 9 days ago

        cheers..

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

      Do you have other Spurs or Chelsea players?

      1. Sz21
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 9 days ago

        Just Kane/Costa

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

          Tough choice, Pedro has great fixtures, but Spurs look like they are getting back to last season's form.
          I would probably go for the biggest differential

  17. Sz21
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    If you owned Pedro would u def sell at this stage??
    Can bring in either Alli/Eriksen (8.4m)..

    What would do..
    Heaton.
    Lovren, Walker, Cedric.
    Pedro, Sanchez, Firmino, Siggy.
    Costa, Kane, Nacho.
    Pickford, Holebas, Amat, Whelan.
    1ft, 1.2m in account.

    1. Here's Tom with the We…
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Yes to Alli

    2. the snazzy viking
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      I would consider Whelan -> Zaha

  18. _Freddo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    West Brom doing magnificently, sticking to their job and trying to break.

    1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Yeah it is the reason why I went for Sanchez over Hazard as captain.

      In case he got "pulised"

      1. _Freddo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 9 days ago

        Still a long way to go.

    Lolsea

  20. Buck The Trent
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Hoping Costa's wining goal bps make him on equal bps with Azpi, so Alonso gets 2 baps lol

    1. Buck The Trent
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Damn didn't see the post above

    2. Slam

      Cheeky

    3. Jimmers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

      He'd only get one in that scenario

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

      Doesn't work like that. As 23 people will now tell you

      1. Jimmers
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 9 days ago

        I was first! 🙂

      2. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 9 days ago

        It doesn't work like that x 23 . I thought I would streamline matters 😉

    5. Jigger & Pony
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      If they are equal Alonso still gets 1

  21. Get up ya bum

    Conte what a fraud

    1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 16 Years

      You mean he puts on that accent and is actually a cockney?

      1. Get up ya bum
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 9 days ago

        He's actually a sheep shearer from Wellington

  22. PvA
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    60 with Kane left

    I'll take it

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

  23. Knowledgeable meerkat

    Stuff of champions this is. Games like this define champions

    1. Wilshere Knowledge

      Among the most nonsensical football cliches.

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

        Okay someone's clearly captained hazard 😆

  24. Speédy
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    At least I knw Cedric and redmond will start midweek for me

    1. Alnair
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Yeah, good week for a defender to get rested with Amat getting a cleanie.

  25. Alnair
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    McAuley must have Costa in his FPL team 😀

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

      Shame on McAuley since Costa is twenty years older than him

  26. The Fantastic Mr Fox

    Pple who moan about Captain fail before the end of the game/sub are like fans who walk out of the stadium before the final whistle.
    Have some faith

      set pieces though

    3. Sif

      If Costa or Hazard were most captained you'd be trolling by now.

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

      Lol Squawka posted that he hasn't made a defensive error leading to a goal under Conte. Seems like he wants to prove them wrong.

  29. Donnie Brasco´s
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    46 Pts (Hazard Captain), nothing on bench.
    Firmino, Kane and Lovren to go....
    I think 60 pts will be ok on the end.....

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      I'm on similar points with Clyne instead of Lovren 🙂

      Would be thrilled with 60.

      1. Donnie Brasco´s
        • 12 Years

        No worrys, 60 incomming! 🙂

    Luiz' wig marginally offside.
