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.

      yeah time to suck up to the fact he's basically playing like a midfielder who can get CS bonus, WC for me this break.

  5. Isco Disco

    Alonsoooooo you legend!
    Finally some points coming in this week

  6. Patch
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    Alonso needs to be greedy and score that himself

  7. TomSaints
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    Hope Alonso can get those 2 bonus points

    1. TomSaints
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Salah -> Mane and upgrading another midfielder to hazard is looking so tempting...

      1. slasken
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 2 days ago

        I would rather do Salah to Hazard and upgrade another midfielder to Mane, but I like the plan.

        Best regards,
        Mane and Hazard owner without Salah

    Typical. 2 pens in the Brighton game and both for Brighton. Was hoping at least one for Fulham to give Ryan a chance to save one lol

  10. Rainer
    • 10 Years

    There's people that don't own Alonso? Wow...

    1. GREEN IS GOOD

      zzzzz

  11. Locarno
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    The pain of getting rid of Cedric and Firmino slightly eased by Mr Hazard...

  12. Ninja Škrtel
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    If I would ever fall in love with a man, it would be Alonso.

    1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      You are gonna make that Aguero in a while

  13. MTPockets
    8 years, 2 days ago

    Alonso's pts are mental

  14. trikster102
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    I'm not having anymore Everton players this season. Put Richarlison in last week then replaced him with Walcott this week. I think they are cursed for me.

  15. Adro3
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    Walcott, Cairney, Tomkins and Zaha flagged. No Alonso. Wildcard time?

    1. trikster102
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      yeah

    hazard & alonso nightmare situation

  18. Oven Glover
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    The difference between Haz & Salah is that Haz gets max baps when he scores one.

  19. Sandy Ravage
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    Mkhitaryan + Arnautovic > Hazard + Ings?

    1. Klein
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago
