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

    Is this the Costa we know?
    Such sportsmanship. High fiving opponents and not reacting to bad tackles

      Good management by Conte. If Mourinho was my boss I'd swing for someone at work too.

      Must have seen a counselor

    Do you think that Friend will be back for GW 17 ?

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

      Yes

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

        Perfect. McAuley to Friend and my plan will work

    Chelsea have been very poor

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      They probably will end up unlocking the door but it's this type of game where having 3 CB's, 2 defensive midfielders and 2 wingbacks doesn't help breaking a defensive team.

  9. Speédy
    • 9 Years

    Come on Dean,give us a pen

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

    Who to offload first?

    A) Chadli
    B) Austin

  11. JÆKS ⭐
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    I thought every home game was supposed to score at least 3 goals this gw?

    1. Jazz!
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      2nd half son.

      1. JÆKS ⭐
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 9 days ago

        Yea could do with a Hazard hatty in the 2nd half 😀

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

        Let's hope for a hell of a half then!

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      That was yesterday

      Today they score 0

  12. Viprin
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    1-0 West Brom win will be perfect

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

      Brunt goal Foster assist will do

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

        This, but benched Foster tho

  13. Danno - Emre Canada
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Woohoo first shot on target only took 40mins

  14. The Fantastic Mr Fox
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Must be nerve-wracking to be a manager who parks the bus often. Each attempt will shoot up the BP

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

      And if you're set up solely for that, makes it even harder for the team to switch to attack if the opposition breaks through first.

  15. Vlad
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    left amat, foster, mcauley on the bench played pickford, mustafi, coleman... hell yeah

  16. Psojkee
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    This team won 8 in a row... Ridiculous

  17. bakayoko
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    0-0 wouldn't be so bad. Foster (6) Alonso (6) HazardC (6) Costa (2)

    20 points from 4 players

      I`m doing Carroll after today game. Monitor him first.

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

      Llorente if not Origi shows some magic in a few hours

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

      Throw Rondon and Llorente in there too.

      Looking at Origi myself.

    Jermaine Jenas is a good co-commentator like, think he's one of a newer batch of more insightful pundits. Hopefully the old guard of knee-squeezing cliche-mongers are starting to die off now.

    1. French Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      i was surprised how unbiased he was when commentating on Arsenal
      quite impressed like with G.Nev

    2. Malcolm Tucker for England …

      unless he gets "phoned" by Cashley mid-match. May lose his concentration..

    3. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

  26. Ógie

    Wow, should have captained Siggy. Hazard isn't getting anything today.

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

      Maybe a yellow?

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

        That'd be grand...

    West Brom - Take 30 seconds to take a goal kick ----> Rondon heads it down ----> Brunt/Morrison/Phillips smash it out of play ----> defend
