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.

  12. Sweetboi

  14. Sim Simma

    7 years, 6 months ago

    When the seagulls follow the trawler it’s because they know Hazard is on board...

    1. Four Hit Wonder
      • 8 Years

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Are there any Rudiger owners?

    2. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Fair play to them.

    3. Dr. Agabuse
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      looks like he will be out for more than 5 days.
      and the CS isnt in much danger anyway.
      so i'd rather have any of the other 4

  24. Grounderz
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    70th minute now... still seeing any scoring returns/ points from you, Eden.

  25. EmreCan Hustle
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Chelsea were pretty boring midweek as well. Wonder what the matter is?

  26. Tosa86
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    My actual FPL team:

    Hennessy - Fabianski
    Alonso - Mendy** - VVD* - WanBissaka - Holebas
    Manè - Salah - Pedro* - Stephens* - Neves
    Arnautovic* - Aguero - Zaha

    * = injury with 75%, but skipped this for Arni and Pedro
    ** = injury with unknown date
    FT: 1
    ItB: 0.1
    WC: 1

    Do i need to replace injuries players?
    Do i ned to play my WC? if yes, below the possible solution:

    Hennessy - Fabianski
    Alonso - LAPORTE - ARNOLD - WanBissaka - Holebas
    Manè - Salah - RICHARLISON - HOJBJERG - MADDISON
    MITROVIC - Aguero - Zaha

    Any suggestion or feedback?
    Thanks in advance

  28. Dr. Agabuse
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

  29. diesel001
    • 9 Years

    1. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      FPL 14/15 is that you?

  30. Differential C (Mark)
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Playing Hennesey over Fabianski looking more and more like a mistake.

    1. twoplustwo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      What why? Good decision and Hen cleanie??

      1. Differential C (Mark)
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Fabianski probably 3 save points by 90 min and 3 BAPS or smth.

    2. ⭐ ABHISHEK - THE CURIOUS …
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I doubt anyone could have choosen Fabianski if they have another 4.5 GK .

      One of those weeks

      1. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        I did but I still expect him to concede

      Results don't determine whether a decision was right or wrong.
