Sunday’s four matches get underway with a lunchtime double-header as champions Chelsea host Everton, while West Brom take on Stoke City at The Hawthorns.

Some Fantasy managers will be torn by the Stamford Bridge meeting. The Blues defence are well backed via Fantasy Premier League investment in David Luiz (25.9% ownership) and, of course, Marcos Alonso (18.2% ownership). T

he Spaniard heads into today’s contest off the back of his devastating two goals at Wembley against Spurs, having picked up over 245,000 new owners ahead of Gameweek 3.

However, Everton’s Wayne Rooney has also soared in popularity following back-to-back goals. He claims a 20.4% ownership ahead of the Chelsea clash and is the most popular captain pick on show in the early kick-offs: 93,000 have trusted him with the armband.

Meanwhile, at The Hawthorns, there is no question of the preferred outcome from a Fantasy perspective.

West Bromwich Albion will be seeking a third successive clean sheet against Stoke and boast the Gameweek’s second most popular transfer target in their line-up.

The towering Ahmed Hegazi has picked up over 504,000 new owners ahead of today’s clash and already ranks fourth for transfers in ahead of Gameweek 4 before taking to the pitch.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

            Not really greedy, but expect more than a 0 especially when I captained him then 😆

              Oops

                Haha 😆
                At least he's making up for it ever since, what a player! Funny seeing people trying to shoe horn him in now after the brace last week 😆

  6. Pierce34

    I don't pay attention to mini-leagues - rival, however, has captained Hegazi. Really want him to blank now...

    I don't want to trigger a false alarm, but is that Choupo guy plaing up front for Stoke?? At 5.5m as mid??

    1. BobBradleysOpportunity
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 1 month ago

      he did last week too

      1. Once,Twice,ThreeTimesFellai…
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Nice. There's my new 4th/5th mid so

    2. Differential C (Mark)
      9 years, 1 month ago

      He is, but Jese seems more appealing at that price range

    3. Kolarov Fpl Legend
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Too much competition for that spot.

      1. Kolarov Fpl Legend
        9 years, 1 month ago

        At Stoke i mean

    4. ChelseaGuy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Ain't it Jese playing through the middle? Or is he on the left

      1. CloudSky
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Jese on the left probably.

      2. JustPark
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Left

  10. CloudSky

    Do you UK fellas only get one game on TV?

      2. CloudSky
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Double oops? 😀 reckon that post was meant for me. Sounds like a real rip off though. We get 9 HD sport channels for like 20euros. All the PL matches, half the LaLiga, best of Serie A and Ligue 1, coverage of all the tennis and basketball events (2 games per night of NBA) and so on.

  11. Tinydancer
    9 years, 1 month ago

    I assumed SKY was showing the Chelsea Everton game ..... Was sadly disappointed but hey at least Sky is cheap 😉

  12. Obi-1 Kenobi-0
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Just sayin', if any of Stoke's midfielders are playing as a striker... it's Choupo-Moting at 5.5. Not Jesé.

    1. Jay_
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Oops. We get the early Saturday, late Saturday and one Early Sunday and one late Sunday. One of that lot comes on BT. The rest Sky. If you're a FPL addict or pure football lover it cost at least £62 per month to watch all. Add internet and landline it's about £80 all in. Rip off.

          Yep. Going as good as my first two weeks captains 😀

          1. Pierce34
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Tell me about it - my captains have scored 7 points combined across the first 3 GWs!

      3. JustPark
        9 years, 1 month ago

        There's cheaper alternative?

  13. Optimus.

    I'm looking forward to the comfort of watching Alonso while sat on the couch instead of behind it through my closed fingers

    1. Kolarov Fpl Legend
      9 years, 1 month ago

      It's like waiting to see City's lineup..

  14. Coaly

    KDB to Pogba/Mhiki for free?

    Already taken the drop on KDB

    1. CloudSky

      Might as well wait.

        This

  15. Dr. Rog

    Jesé was the best player on the pitch against arsenal. is a steal at 6

    Red & white stripes - white shorts.
    Blue & white stripes - white shorts.
    Hmm, slightly bizarre imo.

    1. Sharkytect
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah, for slightly colour-blind people like me it's incredibly difficult to play with these kits, let alone watch

    2. Sánchez

      Terrible colours all round eh?

  17. ChelseaGuy

    In India here..the whole TV package comes at around £25/year
    And the Sports channel is showing Chelsea vs West Brom

  18. Forever mirin

    3. Kolarov Fpl Legend

      Because Wba v Stoke is a better one obviously...

    4. THE Wild Rover
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Because WBA v Stoke is

  21. Ohhh Shola Ameobi
    9 years, 1 month ago

    West Brom aren't keeping a clean sheet here.

  22. diesel001
    9 years, 1 month ago

    One thing about Hegazi is his English is excellent. Makes communicating with the rest of the defence much easier if you all speak the same language. A defence also needs a leader, but Dawson and Brunt are experienced enough to do that job.

    1. Differential C (Mark)
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Good to know. Language is valuable to communicate properly in any job, especially one which requires a great deal of cooperation and discipline.

  23. Stats Don\'t Lie
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Live TV Coverage of teams first 10GWs

    Arsenal - 8
    Man U - 7
    Liverpool - 7
    Spurs - 7
    Newcastle - 7
    Brighton - 7
    Everton - 6
    Man City - 5
    Chelsea - 5
    Leicester - 5
    West Ham - 4
    WBA - 4
    Southampton - 4
    Huddersfield - 3
    Watford - 3
    Swansea - 3
    Burnley - 3
    Stoke - 3
    Bournemouth - 3
    Crystal Palace - 2

    Bias much? Now I know people will say big teams deserve more coverage but how are smaller teams supposed to build up a Fanbase without substantial TV coverage.

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Seems pretty fair to me, you want all teams to have the same number? Thats communism

      1. Ask Yourself
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Excellent

    2. markmcr
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Why wouldn't they show the most entertaining teams lol wise up

    3. Pierce34
      9 years, 1 month ago

      On the other hand, Brighton and Newcastle are getting 2 more games than the defending champions.

      1. Ohhh Shola Ameobi
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Believe Sky cited Newcastle and Villa being relegated as a contributing factor to why viewing figures plummeted last season. Newcastle usually draw large viewing figures, thus will be selected often.

    4. THE Wild Rover
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Bigger clubs attract bigger audiences. Simples

    5. Simon69
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Bias? Bigger teams have bigger fanbases so it just makes sense to televise their games. This is just complaining for the sake of it.

    6. Davido989
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Who on earth would wanna pay a premium tv package to watch Burnley/Palace etc.

    7. Kolarov Fpl Legend
      9 years, 1 month ago

      It's only logical...

    8. Stats Don\'t Lie
      9 years, 1 month ago

      So how are the smaller teams meant to be able to attract larger crowds when they are not televised. Personally I think the biggest issue is the ban on showing 3pm kickoffs

      1. Simon69
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Please see above.

      2. Rostah
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Brighton have more games televised than Everton Man City & Chelsea according to this list. They're surely one of the smaller clubs fan base wise in the EPL

      3. Ohhh Shola Ameobi
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Pete from Manchester isn't going to suddenly start supporting Bournemouth because they're on TV a lot. The vast majority of people support their local club, and will do regardless of how often they are on TV.

        If anything, not being on TV that much can only help, as attendances will be larger.

  24. Pirlø's Pen
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Come onnnn Alonso.

  25. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Costa for 9.7 in that Everton side could be interesting once the fixtures easens up.

    1. Andy_Social
      9 years, 1 month ago

      And that's why we wait until TDD to play our wildcard!

    2. Simon69
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Does that look like a goer?

      1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Koeman seems very keen

    3. Greenbackbøøg…
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I dunno, there is no pace in this Everton team

    4. Holmes
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Dont think he'll join though

  26. makaveli123
    9 years, 1 month ago

    All I need is a goal from Stoke 🙂

    1. CloudSky
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yes please.

    2. Kolarov Fpl Legend
      9 years, 1 month ago

      With the penalty save from Foster.

    3. Differential C (Mark)
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I wouldnt mind.....if Hegazi subbed before goal after an hour

    4. Royal5
      9 years, 1 month ago

      This. And Ecerton.

  27. KOLASINA(C)
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Willian is looking very lively tbh

    1. Holmes
      9 years, 1 month ago

      True that, Pedro will probably be benched if and when Hazard returns

  28. makaveli123
    9 years, 1 month ago

    WBA look so strong today. CS already locked in.

    1. KOLASINA(C)
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Shhhh

    2. Holmes
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Not really, looks like Moting goal incoming

    3. Pierce34
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I know what you're doing and I approve.

    4. Speédy
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Takes 5 seconds of bad football to concede.

  29. Nicks93
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Pedro having a terrible game so far

    1. KOLASINA(C)
      9 years, 1 month ago

      This mug should have passed to Willian :/

    2. diesel001
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I think there is a chance Willian keeps his place and Pedro is dropped when Hazard comes back.

    3. Marcos Alonso is god
      9 years, 1 month ago

      So hot and cold

  30. Royal5
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Morata looks very slow
