Hazard the Fantasy focal point as Chelsea kick-off Gameweek 9

Eden Hazard (£11.4m) will be the Fantasy Premier League focal point as Chelsea get Gameweek 9 started this lunch-time.

He comes into the Blues’ meeting with Manchester United at Stamford Bridge as the second-most owned asset in FPL, behind only Sergio Aguero (£11.3m) with 51.0% backing.

Fantasy managers will also be hoping for a clean sheet with Marcos Alonso (£7.0m) still in 45.9% of squads.

Investment in Manchester United has waned in recent weeks with their most popular option David De Gea (£5.8m). He remains owned by 18% despite going four Gameweeks without a clean sheet.

Their most fashionable outfield option is Paul Pogba (£8.1) with 13.9% backing. Interestingly, the Frenchman has been tipped by  Joe’s famed Goals Imminent table.

On the injury front, both Antonio Rudiger (£5.9m) and Mateo Kovacic (£5.9m) came through doubts over their fitness while Ross Barkley (£5.7m) was named on the bench.

Luke Shaw (£5.1m) overcame his knock to start for Man United.

CHELSEA XI (4-3-3): Kepa, Azpilicueta, Rudiger, David Luiz, Alonso, Jorginho, Kante, Kovacic, Willian, Hazard, Morata.

MAN UNITED XI (4-3-3): De Gea, Young, Lindelof, Smalling, Shaw, Matic, Pogba, Mata, Rashford, Martial, Lukaku.

    Wtf Alonso, lying on the ground won't help in defending

    1. F4L
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      cos he got fouled

      1. Goat
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 7 months ago

        Grow a pair and go down when the ball goes out

        1. F4L
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 7 months ago

          really? So if you get fouled, just go down when the ball goes out, that makes no sense

          1. Goat
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 7 months ago

            Not cry like a woman and get up after the other team score anyway.

    2. Carlton_Goal
      • 8 Years

      Not sure Alonso understands defending

    Alonso should have stayed up instead of taking an injury

    Cost a goal there

    1. F4L
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      he got fouled by Kaku

  18. diesel001

    Alonso complaining about being fouled in the build up.

    Alonso Injured

    1. ⭐ ABHISHEK - THE CURIOUS …
      • 13 Years

  20. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    See what happens when Chelsea don't have Alonso...

  21. Styles_X
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    will alonso retain the cs because he was down injured?

    1. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Yep

    2. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Gets the assist too.

  22. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 14 Years

    Hazard with a one pointer

  23. Smurf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    5 years, 7 months ago

    Sarri will not be happy with Alonso there. Pathetic to stay down in the middle of the box during an attack.

  24. DAZZ
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 7 months ago

    Get in! Happy the alonso CS has vanished!

    1. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      • 7 Years
      5 years, 7 months ago

      Really? Would always play Alonso if you have him. Will have high points come the end of the season, need to roll with the punches.

  27. diesel001

    5 years, 7 months ago

    Pogba playing higher up the pitch in this second half.

  28. OPTA FPL
    • 12 Years

    Alonso fake injury cost that goal

  29. Hybrid.power
