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.

    If Kante could hit the target he'd be as good as Fernandinho for random goals.

      Everton Twitter have DCL central.

      1. Eden Wizard

    2. Champione

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        8 years, 26 days ago

        Yes please.

    3. HamezMace
      8 years, 26 days ago

      He still needs to better Maddison’s goal and 1BPS for me to forgive him though

    4. Dr Van Nostrand
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 26 days ago

    5. DAZZ
      8 years, 26 days ago

    6. Dr Van Nostrand

      8 years, 26 days ago

      DCL is up top acc to Livescore the most accurate - big surprise the one that's actually a striker up top!

  8. Teror
    8 years, 26 days ago

    Only one red arrow and no capitancy blanks yet for me this season. Praise be to Jesus

    1. BON
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Ban.

  9. JWilson3
    8 years, 26 days ago

    Yarmolenko firmly on the radar for when West Ham's fixtures turn

    1. Differential C (Mark)
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Agreed. A cracking player, will compliment Arnie brilliantly.

    2. Jarnathan
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Certainly passed the eye test. You have to wonder how many points he'd have with Arnie in #9.

  10. Clucas
    8 years, 26 days ago

    Finally, the trolling king is back.

  11. Fire Chief Moe
    8 years, 26 days ago

    I beg of the commentator to stop saying Conte, “CONTEEEE”

    1. Jafooli
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Agreed.....bloody annoying.

    2. Marvin.
      8 years, 26 days ago

      De Bruyne always bugs me. They even asked him on TV once how to pronounce it but they still get it wrong.

  12. HamezMace
    8 years, 26 days ago

    Anyone watching this game will understand why stats can be deceiving.

    Kante - 2 big chances in the box.
    Chance of Kante scoring - 0%

  13. fedolefan
    8 years, 26 days ago

    Sarri-ball is actually just another word for tiki-taka. Meaningless, ambitionless passing. Yuck.

    1. J T
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Lol give us a break we have won 5 out of 5 when many doubted us. Also didn’t get from Europe until 48 hours ago.

      1. jia you
        8 years, 26 days ago

        Fair point, been looking great apart from this game, some clowns on here!

        1. fedolefan
          8 years, 26 days ago

          You stay classy!

          1. jia you
            8 years, 26 days ago

            ...San Diego 😉

      2. fedolefan
        8 years, 26 days ago

        It was the same in the Newcastle game. I am allowed to doubt the performance, am I not? Or should I always just consult you.

  14. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    8 years, 26 days ago

    Hazard just shoot. He keeps trying to play morata through

    1. fedolefan
      8 years, 26 days ago

      How are you doing? I may have noticed you were banging on about Salah and Hazard last week.

  15. FPL Scoop

  16. diesel001

    2. Pieterke30
      8 years, 26 days ago

      The most transferred in player NEVER does anything good in the following GW.

    3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Flat track bully mostly at home

      1. OPTA FPL
        8 years, 26 days ago

        he was excellent at Newcastle

      2. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
        8 years, 26 days ago

        Huh? He isn't that good away alright but flat track bully??
        scored so many times in big games and blanked vs smaller teams and that's why everyone called him a troll!

    4. Regin
      8 years, 26 days ago

      yeah i got insulted just bcoz i predicted hazard would flop . See last page. Knew I should have got salah back. Hazard rarely hauls,

      1. Fitzy.
        8 years, 26 days ago

        You asked in your original post if you were a 'moron' for considering it - now you're Captain Hindsight.

        1. Fitzy.
          8 years, 26 days ago

          *mad

  18. Rainer

    Hold that BAP, Marcos!

  19. Teror
    8 years, 26 days ago

    Not sure why I played Foster instead of Fabianski. I knew the latter would at least get some save points. Now he's set for full bonus as well – 8 points diff. Mamma mia.

  20. diesel001
    8 years, 26 days ago

    At 85 mins:

    Fabianski (31)
    Balbuena (30)
    Zabaleta (26)

  22. seewhyaxe
    8 years, 26 days ago

    1. Teror
      8 years, 26 days ago

      You should've known that he's useless away. Pretty amateur mistake if you ask me.

      1. Gnu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        8 years, 26 days ago

        Wow, what a reply.

    Anyone thinking of captaining Salah against Chelsea?

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 26 days ago

      If Rudiger is out, I'm really worried about Liverpool's pace against us... even more than usual.

      1. Lucackadoodledoo
        8 years, 26 days ago

        Yea. Could be a few goals in that game.im thinkin 3 2 liverpool
