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.
