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.

    3. HamezMace
      • 11 Years

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

    4. Dr Van Nostrand
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      When are Sky ever right

    5. DAZZ
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

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

  8. Teror

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

    1. BON
      • 13 Years

      Ban.

  9. JWilson3
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

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

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

      Agreed. A cracking player, will compliment Arnie brilliantly.

    2. Jarnathan
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

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

  10. Clucas
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Finally, the trolling king is back.

  11. Fire Chief Moe
    • 15 Years

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

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

      Agreed.....bloody annoying.

    2. Marvin.
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months 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
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 6 months 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
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

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

    1. J T
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months 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
        • 9 Years

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

        1. fedolefan
          • 11 Years

          You stay classy!

            ...San Diego 😉

      2. fedolefan
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 6 months 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 ⭐
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Hazard just shoot. He keeps trying to play morata through

    1. fedolefan
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

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

  15. FPL Scoop

    One more save Fab

  16. diesel001
    • 9 Years

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years

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

      Flat track bully mostly at home

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

        he was excellent at Newcastle

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

        • 14 Years

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

  19. Teror
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 6 months 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

    At 85 mins:

    Fabianski (31)
    Balbuena (30)

    1. Teror
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

    Anyone thinking of captaining Salah against Chelsea?

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

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

      1. Lucackadoodledoo
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

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