All eyes on Hazard and Alonso as Arnautovic misses London derby

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.
