All eyes on Hazard and Alonso as Arnautovic misses London derby

The Fantasy Premier League community turns its attention to Eden Hazard (£10.9m) and Marcos Alonso (£6.9m) for Chelsea’s visit to West Ham this afternoon.

Only Ryan Fraser (£5.7m) earned more new owners ahead of Gameweek 6 than Hazard, signed by 600,000+ Fantasy managers following his hat-trick against Cardiff.

Meanwhile, left-back Alonso is this match’s most popular player, currently sitting in 44% of squads. Both he and Hazard have been named in the Chelsea starting XI at the London Stadium.

However, there is disappointment for the 14% invested in Marko Arnautovic (£7.0m). The West Ham forward has been left out of the matchday squad entirely after picking up an injury in Gameweek 5.

That may prove positive news for Alonso owners and other Fantasy managers bought into the Chelsea defence. Arnautovic scored the solitary goal the last time the Blues travelled to face West Ham, resulting in a 1-0 win for the Hammers.

Coming in for the Austrian is FPL midfielder Michail Antonio (£6.8m) who will lead the Hammers line this afternoon.

WEST HAM XI (4-3-3): Fabianski; Masuaku, Diop, Balbuena, Zabaleta; Rice, Obiang, Noble; Anderson, Antonio, Yarmolenko.

CHELSEA XI (4-3-3): Kepa; Alonso, Rüdiger, David Luiz, Azpilicueta; Kovacic, Kanté, Jorginho; Hazard, Giroud, Willian.

    Would you WC this with 1 FT and 1.0 ITB

    Ederson
    Wan Trippier Mendy Shaw Bednarek
    Stephens Mane Salah Pedro Walcott
    Aguero Mitrovic King

    If no WC, who would you look the get out? Pedro/Mendy? Both?

        Theres a distinct difference between saying someone has been poor so far and slagging someone off.

        Good effort though.

          Wilian is indeed poor, but this comment was a joke I reckon and not a personal attack.

          Anyhow, let’s see what happens in the second half.

    Quick question for the members site... do the team ratings on the season ticker tab change after each GW? I mean is the team difficulty updated by how each team is actually performing each week?

          I asked last season and from memory every few game weeks or when signifcant change is warranted.
          Can adjust them yourself though.
