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.

    Would you WC this with 1 FT and 1.0 ITB

    Ederson
    Wan Trippier Mendy Shaw Bednarek
    Stephens Mane Salah Pedro Walcott
    Aguero Mitrovic King

    If no WC, who would you look the get out? Pedro/Mendy? Both?

    Any Bournemouth fans have any thoughts on Stanislas returning to starting XI next week?

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Surely not fully fit yet!

      But I wonder whose gametime he'll threaten when he does return 😕

      1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Brooks likely. He can play across the mid

        1. Rash
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          This.

  3. #FPLBhuna

    Willian has been extremely poor..

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Slagging him off 45 mins into a 90min game is ridiculous

      1. #FPLBhuna
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Theres a distinct difference between saying someone has been poor so far and slagging someone off.

        Good effort though.

        Clown.

        1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
          • 9 Years

          Nibble nibble

            😀

          Come on man do not take that seriously...

          Wilian is indeed poor, but this comment was a joke I reckon and not a personal attack.

          Anyhow, let’s see what happens in the second half.

    Quick question for the members site... do the team ratings on the season ticker tab change after each GW? I mean is the team difficulty updated by how each team is actually performing each week?

    1. MTPockets
      7 years, 11 months ago

      not every week

      1. Bulldogs FC
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        any idea how often is that done?..need to plan some player rotations

        1. MTPockets
          7 years, 11 months ago

          I asked last season and from memory every few game weeks or when signifcant change is warranted.
          Can adjust them yourself though.

          1. Bulldogs FC
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            yeah I know that, but I'll avoid it...I'll probably be a bit biased doing that myself!

    I wouldn't mind a 0-0 scoreline or Fab pen save and Chelsea CS

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      0-0 would give me a huge green arrow

  6. jia you

    1. Four Hit Wonder

    I love that the guy making comments about harmless banter has already been removed! Good work FFS.

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      What happened ?

      1. GoonerSteve
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Some idiot calling people names for banter about Arnautovic girlfriend. Totally uncalled for and confrontational.

        1. GoonerSteve
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Ps. Who got the keys to my bimma.

          • 9 Years

          Clearly Arnke's FFS account. He does get a bit hotheaded.

      1. GoonerSteve
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        A few mins ago, I commented at the time but threads disappeared. It was like I’d leapt into vice comments section for a second!

  11. Rainer
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Casual tears.

  12. Syd.
    • 17 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Jorge Luiz Frello Filho is a bit lazy

    Doesn't like to track back

  13. Bob B
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    A. Replace Mendy, keep Peltier as 5th defender
    B. Keep Mendy, upgrade 5th defender to Boly/Duffy

    1. Nicks93
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      B

    2. Ha.

    Well done Salah keepers, hazard looks off the pace

    1. TOPCAT1960
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Yes, this was my philosophy. Long way to go in this game yet though !

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

      I'm still tempted to bring him in. But I'm glad I didn't do it for Salah.

    3. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Why thank you. It was obvious that Hazard would blank 🙂

  17. Jafooli
    • 14 Years

    Rice looks decent......

    1. Jafooli
      • 14 Years

    2. Rogue Todd
      • 11 Years

      She was good on Treasure Hunt

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Especially when mounting the chopper.....

        1. Chucky
          • 12 Years

          😛

    3. Rainer

      Special talent.

    4. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Brown or White

    5. jia you
      • 10 Years

      nice and fluffy

    6. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      As a South Asian sick of the sight of it.

    7. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Yeah, looks like he has everything. He's pinged some nice long balls.

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        😮

  18. noquarternt

    Love it on here during a match

  19. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Would quite happily take a 0-0 with some bonus as a standard Hazard, Alonso, Fabianski owner.

    1. Taking the Mkhitaryan
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Exactly the same
      Fab could haul here

    2. DAZZ
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      A 0-0 as an Alonso and Arnie owner with AWB first on bench is delightful, or a 1-0 alonso goal

    3. Rash
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Same here.

  20. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Kante is my Bendy Mendy points.

    Great!

    1. Eden Wizard
      • 8 Years

    1. jia you
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Modded, how you're still only getting short term bans is beyond me 😉

      1. Eden Wizard
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Operating in the grey zone 😉

        1. jia you
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Haha, you do that well mate alright have to hand it to ya!

  22. Chucky
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Hazard not looking lively today.. non-owners should come out now...

    1. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Naughty jinxy jinxer......should get a ban for that.

  23. Feloh
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    how are the baps looking

    1. jia you
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Sarah A's are looking standout!

  24. Rash
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Since every man and his dog in top 10k has hazard including me. A 0.0 wouldn't be too disastrous since I have flappy in net.

  25. DAZZ
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Luiz should be scoring there, chucky spewing

  26. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    5 minutes to seeing my 2 cleanies

  27. manu4life99
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Best replacement for Mendy if injured?

    (I own Patricio but not Ederson)

    A) Walker
    B) Trippier
    C) Laporte
    D) Doherty/Boly

  28. Fred54
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Rudiger is boss la.

  29. Syd.
    • 17 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Classic Luiz defending

    Salah (C) next week

    1. Eden Wizard
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Ultra high line with non existent midfield is a curious tactic!

  30. Rainer
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Willy BAPs!

    1. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
