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.

      • 16 Years

  8. Messsiaah
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

    2. Fantastisk
      • 8 Years

        Gold

  9. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Another steady rise in ownership for Ings ahead - such good value at 5.5

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      And Alonso, eh? 🙂

  10. Cok3y5murf
    • 9 Years

    • 10 Years

    1. Uncle Gamst
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      We need Gundogan & Delph to come on and then a defensive sub.

  12. BEEZUS
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Worth doing Salah, TAA and Bednarek to Robertson, Alonso and Mane for -4?

    1. Paulie Walnuts
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Yes
      The

    2. Davidinho
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I think at least two of Robertson, Mendy and Alonso are going to be essential.

  13. LewanGOALski
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Would you WC this:

    Patricio - Stekelenburg
    Mendy - Robertson - PvA - Cedric - AWB
    Salah - Mahrez - Mkhi - Wally - Gunnarsson
    Aguero - Arnie - J.King

    to this team:

    Ederson - 4.0
    Alonso - D.Luiz - Mendy - Robertson - AWB
    Hazard - Mane - Richarlison - Fraser - Billing
    Aguero - Arnie - Mitrovic

    Would you WC? Or not?

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      No

    2. Paulie Walnuts
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Yes

    3. Jack Frost
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      No, your issue is Mahrez.. lack of playing time and perhaps Luiz, a bit expensive. Easy, patient fix.

  14. Azathoth
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Lol @ me who rushed to get Theo the Troll!!!

  15. kinghenry14

      • 11 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      1. HellasLEAF
