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.

    Unlucky Alonso

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

      that was an awful touch, nothing unlucky about it

      1. barracuda
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah, I am trying to be kind to him since I have had him since GW1.

  7. diesel001

    Alonso - better control and he would have had a one on one with DDG!

  8. The Enlightener
    • 12 Years

    C'mon Alonso. What was that!

  9. aborg

    So who like me has Sterling and Aguero and captained Sterling....and feeling confident?

    1. farmerfat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I've done the same thing but not feeling that confident. Knowing my luck aguero hatrick

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

        I think they will get similar points to tell you the truth and maybe Sterling edges it because of clean sheet point and extra goal point.

  10. Rainer

    Restraint Alonso wondering into the United box.

  11. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    Alonso doesn't have the killer instinct anymore.

    Rashfords great game for England seems a long time ago already.

    1. The Enlightener
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Forgot he even exists

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Big difference is Kane drops deep and can pass a bit, whereas Lukaku ambles across the field and doesn't drop deep to pass to him. Sanchez would help both Rashford and Martial IMO.

  13. Ghost Gooner
    • 12 Years

    Alonso 😡

  14. L'Aeroplanino

  15. Jafooli

    Someone needs to tell the Utd players the game’s started.....

  16. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    I'm just heartened by the fact that Alonso was in that position in the first place. Guess he may still be worth the 7.0m.

  17. JustPark
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Pogba needs to stop blaming others.
