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.

      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      It's still a ridiculous move, your hindsight bias is astounding.

    4. Gaffers
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      1. Regin
        • 8 Years

  18. Eden Wizard
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Alonso is such a poor defender, everything gone down his side

  19. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    The Everton team looks quite attacking. No Schneiderlin away from home at Arsenal

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

      bodes well for the Arsenal attack too

    2. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      They were never goin to deny Arsenal a goal so might as well go for it

  20. ZeBestee
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Those 3 Everton forwards would cause problems to the Arsenal backline with their speed.

  21. Make United Great Again
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Kante hits it into orbit

  24. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Kanté punishing casuals

  25. BON
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Why do they keep calling Kante Conte?

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years

      1. BON
        • 13 Years

    3. Mic
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

  26. jia you
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    1. jia you
      • 9 Years

    2. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago
