Dugout Discussion – Chelsea vs West Bromwich Albion

A four-match slate of Sunday fixtures gets underway at Stamford Bridge as Chelsea host West Bromwich Albion in the noon kick-off.

Eden Hazard and Diego Costa are the main weapons of choice for Fantasy Premier League managers.

Both clinched a place in the top three of this week’s Captain Poll.

Hazard has racked up 60 of his 97 points at the Bridge, though has lacked Costa’s overall consistency. The most popular player in FPL, with an ownership level over 51%, the Spain international has blanked just twice in 14 Gameweeks.

Three goals and as many assists in four suggests that Matt Phillips is the man most likely to breach a Blues defence that’s conceded just twice in the last eight rounds of fixtures.

We’ll be looking for Scout Pick Marcus Alonso for points at both ends of the pitch today. The Spaniard – who remains a differential with under 7% ownership – has served up a goal, an assist and two clean sheets in his last three at the Bridge.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    I think YMA is right when he looks at Big Chances Conceded in his captaincy article. WBA a good example of a team that do not concede many big chances, but everyone thinks is going to get battered by the big boys.

    So many lucky bench points coming in for Cedric - Amat, Holebas, WBA defs. Strong bench being rewarded though.

          Yea he has some potential from corners though, but not so solid at the back this season, apart from today then. Thinking about a replacement for Lovren though, between Cedric and Brunt.
