Attention now turns to Eden Hazard (£10.6m) and his Chelsea colleagues in the Saturday 3pm matches of Fantasy Premier League.

The Belgian midfielder starts for the Blues as they host Bournemouth at Stamford Bridge, fresh from earning 150,000+ new owners for Gameweek 4.

Meanwhile, colleague Pedro (£6.7m), who was revealed to be the best replacement for Richarlison (£6.7m) was named on the bench by Maurizio Sarri.

However, the top story of the afternoon already is the absence of Crystal Palace striker Wilfried Zaha (£7.1m) who reportedly picked up a groin injury in training this week. The Ivory Coast inernational sits in 33 percent of teams leaving plenty of Fantasy managers already disappointed at this early stage in Gameweek 4.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£4.1m) returns to the Crystal Palace line-up, while Danny Ings (£5.6m) overcame his blister from earlier in the week to start for the Saints.

The exploits of Theo Walcott (£6.8m) will be of great interest. The former Arsenal man has been chosen as the people’s replacement for the suspended Richarlison, earning 770,000+ new owners for Gameweek 4, more than any other player.

Pascal Groß (£6.9m) returns to the Brighton starting line-up to face Fulham, while Ryan Sessegnon (£6.4m) must be content with a place on the Cottagers’ bench for a second week running.

Following some confusion in the media over the fitness of Marko Arnautovic (£7.0m), he captains the West Ham side to face Wolves.

      How’s life without FPL?

      I think it was for the best.

      1. FPL Scoop
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Lol. I took the assist and bonus point and ran with it

  23. Differential C (Mark)
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Kepa hasnt impressed so far in his Chelsea career. Very DDG-esque in his early United career.

    1. rambo.
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Agreed makes me nervous as an owner

  24. El Lobito 10
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Given rotation, best Pedro replacements?

    Pereyra. Class player, Watfors very confident. He's their go to man. Injury record and two tough home games coming up (if Utd still qualifies as tough)

    Maddison. Leicester's danger man. Good fixtures, good form and Vardy should eat up his deliveries. Scored a lot of goals last year.

    Milner. On form, penalties and seems less at risk of rotation with CL games coming in a very attacking side. Some hard fixtures now but we know what Liverpool are like v the better sides.

    Seri. Starting to come into real form, could become a bandwagon before long with Mitro to target his assists to. City up next but decent fixture run after.

    Fraser. In form in an attacking Bou side. Nailed and got good attacking options to feed.

    For me, it's between Pereyra and Milner.

    1. Jack Sparrow
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      All shite

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Would personally look at getting Bavies in and downgrading Pedro to a 4.5

      1. El Lobito 10
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Bavies is a good idea, or Trip

    3. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Keep Pedro. Willian can't be playing too well.

    4. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Schurrle

    5. HNI
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Pedro scored why would you replace him

  25. The Overthinker
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Will be doing coleman and eriksen to alonso and maddison/Walcott with 2M ITB

    1. The Overthinker
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      For a hit . Tonight before Alonso rises

  26. Ady87
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Last minute dropped my 5th mid Neves to Guendouzi and banked £0.6m on my WC. Thankfully got that to improve Wally!

  27. Calvin Valance
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Rico for Bournemouth on free kicks and corners. Good for 4.5 def!

    1. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Gpt rid of Daniels this week so timing good, but no BOU defender in his place (keep Chelsea to 0-0 and I might)

  28. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Lõs donkos off. Lé Donk on.

  29. Paul Psychic Octopus
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Wally was just a placeholder until buy Rich back. Question is will we be 0.1-0.2m up on the trade?

    1. Dannyb
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      If you do it right now. Mass sales incoming.

  30. Patch
