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

    Can see a West Brom defender getting a red, hopefully Brunt

      You spelt Dawson wrong

    Alonso, Hazard(c), Costa. The only way is up!

      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Hope it's not 0-2 (McAuley, Brunt)!

    2. Numb

      All the differentials

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 9 days ago

        Having all three is a huge, Hazard(c) is also a diff. Alonso is 7.2% ownership. 🙄

        1. The Bandit
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 9 days ago

          *huge diff

    Is Arnautovic > Son a relatively easy to transfer to make?

      Arnie > anyone is a relatively easy transfer to make.

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

        Haha absolutely no idea how he's stayed in my team for so long tbh

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

      Do it,alli at 0.8 extra could be better though

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

        No doubt but can't quite afford, especially when I'm looking at Alosno in soon too

  4. JogaSemmedo

    Am I the only one with Kane (c)?

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

      Yes, none of the other 4 million players have captained him.

  5. Wilshere Knowledge

    Both teams in blue...

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Hope we are not all blue later after such high expectation 😉

  6. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    You know the game has been horrific when Matic and Kante are the frontrunners for baps.

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

      wow

  7. Dr Dream
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    I hope Costa's doubled up on his meds again. WBA look like they're gunning for him.

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

    Thats a second yellow

      -12 hits rarely pay off in 1 week, but you got the players for longer than 1 week.

      Why Azpi why

    2. Jigger & Pony
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Costa winning goal bps to be added

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

      Gwg should take him to the top

    4. Paul
      • 15 Years

  12. Cok3y5murf
    • 9 Years

    Have owned Costa since GW4. Haven't captained him once.

    1. Gooner97
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Brave

    2. Cojiro
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Same

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

      He's never really exploded tbf, reminds me of Vardy from last year.

      1. Cok3y5murf
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 9 days ago

        That was my reasoning too, but hasn't paid off. Not the first time my captain blanked and he scored.

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

    Costa please do not get that YC today

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

      Got him in for this GW after waiting for 2 months for him to get the YC. He is bound the get the YC in the first 15min.

      1. Fred54
        • 10 Years

        Same.

  14. Jigger & Pony

    Glad I finally got Costa. Should have gotten him ages ago...

    Hazard 🙁

  17. andy85wsm

    Toby being back isn't cool. Might have to reduce my hat trick hopes for Ibra to a mere brace.

  18. Az

  19. Az

    My word that was some finish.

  20. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    All I want for Christmas is

    - Costa brace + baps
    - Alonso assist + CS + baps
    - Hazard penalty miss
    - Foster penalty save + save points + baps

    Too much to ask for?

    1. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

  22. KeepCalm
    • 11 Years

    So its Haz vs Costa today for most. I'm team Hazard. Lets go!

  23. BrockLanders
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    I hear Costa Blanca's nice this time of year..

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

    A brace from Costa, goals and assist each from Hazard and Brunt and a Foster peno save will do

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

    Get that Hattie hazard,and yellow for you costa

  26. umerlfc
    • 9 Years
