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.

    Rudiger is only above Alonso in BAPs due to completed passes, alonso has nearly half rudiger's passes.

    That should definitely level out in the next 10 minutes

  7. 1zverGGadeM

    Alonso time

    1. 1zverGGadeM

      Or David Luiz..

  8. Pariße

    How is this Noble’s foul?

  9. Rainer
    • 9 Years

    Tosun put where he belongs 😆

    1. tiger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Has he been binned?

  10. noquarternt

    7 years, 6 months ago

    Didn't Steklenburg used to be really good? Remember him from a FIFA or FM game being great.

    How'd he end up on Everton's bench...

    1. Four Hit Wonder
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      FM I think, was one of the best to own

    2. ZeBestee

      Fifa doesn't equate to real life. He has been a decent keeper before but he has regressed over the years.

    Hazard needs to be more selfish

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

  19. SADIO SANÉ
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Hazard needs to be more selfish

  20. Jafooli

  22. Rash
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Hazard clearly didn't listen to Sarri comments about wanting 30+ goals from him.

  23. OPTA FPL
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

  27. Gaffers

    Just like asking the ref to show a card, asking for a forum ban should be a bannable offence. Discussion of this rule is also a bannable offence.

    1. noquarternt
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Ban

  28. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
