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.

  11. lordkippe
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Im so pissed of. 26 points with Mane & Kane (C) to go. cant get anything right so far. just 121 points in total...

  12. Hotdogs for Tea
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Alonso is the highest scoring 7 mill mid so far by a country mile !

    1. F4L
      9 years, 1 month ago

      was inevitable

    2. Cok3y5murf
      9 years, 1 month ago

      He's not a mid

      1. Hotdogs for Tea
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Agreed, more like a forward 🙂

        1. Cok3y5murf
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Doesn't matter. Classified as a defender.

          1. Hotdogs for Tea
            9 years, 1 month ago

            I think you are missing the irony ... many have set their team up (value wise) with Alonso considered as an extra mid who gets clean sheet points ... effectively a 253 formation in a way, but with one mid getting clean sheets.

            It is like using the old AoA chip every week 🙂

            1. Cok3y5murf
              9 years, 1 month ago

              I'm not missing anything. Only the points matter, however they are scored, whether it's through clean sheets, goals, assists or baps.

              All defenders are better value than mids at the same price. By your logic, Hegazi is the highest scoring 'mid' costing 5.5 or under, even Mooy having scored lesser. Why shouldn't I consider Hegazi a mid then, when you consider Alonso a mid? Both have scored goals, both have got clean sheets.

              Their position on the pitch is irrelevant. Only their classification in FPL matters.

              1. Hotdogs for Tea
                9 years, 1 month ago

                By my logic - because by the end of the season
                - Hegazi will not get any where near the same points as Alonso and doesn't effectively play as a winger,
                -one or two other defenders may get similar points to Alonso but you will be hard pressed to get that selection correct, and
                - no mid in his price range will get as many points as Alonso or even okay as advanced up the pitch as him
                - he is OOP as a defender and could just as easy be classed as a forward, never mind a mid

                Have a chat with me after he clocks up 170 points by the end of the season and we can compare him to your mids and defenders 😉

                He might be classified as a defender but he is 100% an attacking mid in the actual game of ... err ... football

                1. Cok3y5murf
                  9 years, 1 month ago

                  Oh God. Read what I said. "All defenders are better value than mids at the same price".

                  Meaning a 5.5 defender for example, will outscore a 5.5 mid. A 7.0 defender (Alonso) will outscore a 7.0 mid. Of course Alonso will outscore Hegazi, you're comparing a 4.5 with a 7.0. Defenders are better value than mids at the same price, period.

                  Alonso isn't any exception. He's just like the other defenders. At 5.5, Davies or Trippier will outscore all 5.5 mids if they are played the whole season. Same goes for 5.0 defenders. So why is Alonso's positioning on the field relevant? Only his points are relevant. And no, he's not a mid or a forward. If he was, FPL would've reclassified him as one. He's a wingback. A wingback has defensive duties.

                  And no, it's not harder to get the selection correct. I can guarantee you that if you pick Charlie Daniels and keep him for the entire season, he will outscore any 5.0 mid.

                  1. Hotdogs for Tea
                    9 years, 1 month ago

                    I think you need to get out and watch some actual football lol if you don't understand where Alonso actually plays and how many defenders Chelsea play q

                    1. Cok3y5murf
                      9 years, 1 month ago

                      I think you need to understand English.

                      1. Hotdogs for Tea
                        9 years, 1 month ago

                        Lol, but seriously - Alonso plays as a winger or left sided midfielder in front of a 3 man Chelsea defence, he tracks back but but is not a defender. Trippier, Davies, Valencia, Bertie, Rose, Walker etc are all defenders who play in a four man defence, Daniels sometimes plays in a 5 man defence and gets forward, but mainly I recall it is four at the back.

                        Compare Alonso with any wide man in the Premier League and his stats compare very well for shots, key chances, crosses etc, compare him to any defender and he wipes the floor with them ... the bottom line is that in real life Alonso does not play as a defender or wing back even, he is a wide attacker that tracks back and does his defensive duties and it doesn't matter what he is classified in FPL - he is not a defender. Even at other previous clubs he has played a lot of football as left midfield.

                        Any that's me out of this, I can see that talking about actual football is not really the thing here 😉

    Midfielders under 6.0?

    A. Mooy

    Eriksen Mane Firmino Salah time. 30 points please, I need it

  16. Arctic monkeys
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Why would you try to sign a player for years if you're not going to start him in an important game like this ?

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

      Because after signing him you realise Tony Pulis was right in benching him. He's well overrated after scoring a few goals a few seasons ago.

      1. Arctic monkeys
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Talking about lacazette 😀

  17. Bushido
    9 years, 1 month ago

    With this Chelsea team looking good. How will you fit in a fit hazard or will you go for Morata?

    1. JustPark
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Seriously considering Kaku>Morata

      1. Bushido

    That moment when you realise Mbemba (3rd on bench) is your highest scoring player.

    1. Viper
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Same

      1. Jafooli
        9 years, 1 month ago

      Who knows? I sold Bellerin because I was pretty sure he'd be dropped, but it's impossible to guess Wenger's mind these days.

    2. TheSteel
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Probably. Same

    3. Bucket_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

  21. FDMS All Starz

    No way I see a CS for either Liverpool or Arsenal this game, should be an entertaining game then

  22. Harper_

    1. Fred54

    Need miracles from Eriksen, Kane (c) & Ramsey

    1. fedolefan

      Everyone has scored similar so far.

  27. itwaswritten
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Every year I say I'm not going to listen to people here and just lurk for fun and I get tricked into getting flopz like KBD for example. All the players I had in mind doing amazing :/

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      9 years, 1 month ago

      You have your own mind, listen to yourself

      1. itwaswritten
        9 years, 1 month ago

        That's true. I will from now on.

    2. Sanchit
      9 years, 1 month ago

      That's just psychological. We think of bringing in almost all the big hitters some time or the other. Obviously some of them will score and some will not.

    3. Gnu

      BS.
      You're a notorious troll.
