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

      The super assist, which he never intended to! 🙂

        9 years, 9 days ago

        I watched the replay. Was it not Hazard who assisted from half way line?

    2. FPL Maldini
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      No he didn't Fab did

    3. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      It was Fabregas, correcting my earlier post about Azpi.

  5. ChristoBisto
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Another captain fail for me! Oh well it's a lottery.

  6. Shaikh91
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Hazard and iheanacho transfers were a waste :-S

  7. Cok3y5murf
    • 9 Years

    Hazard proving his worth at 10.5m.

  8. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Relying heavily on Bobby F and Kane to salvage this GW for me.

  9. Stupendous
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Sorry everyone I brought Hazard in this week.

    Entirely my fault. Could have been worse than 3 points mind.

    1. Mark-O
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      alright

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    1. Fred54
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Heh same. Although most of my late switching was between Sanchez and Hazard.

  13. Ryan Naysmith
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Chelsea will score again now, west brom strategy is done

  14. Whats the Huth
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    No involvement from Hazard. Happy days

  15. EmreCan Hustle

    What happened to Cedric?

    1. Duffo
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Evan's 1st sub. Say it ain't so

      1. WVA
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 9 days ago

        Amat for me 😉

  16. Ravager
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    West Brom always make you think they're going to get a cleanie and then...

  17. Alnair
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    McAuley must have Costa in his FPL team 😀

    1. Fowler23
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Shame on McAuley since Costa is twenty years older than him

  18. Bielsa's Bucket
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Cedric dropped for Sam McQueen

    #controversial

    1. HonestBlatter
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Must be a rest and starting midweek?

      1. Bielsa's Bucket
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 9 days ago

        They were doing well until he came back into the team from injury. So many he assumes him to be a weak link which is annoying.

      2. sminkypinky
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 9 days ago

        Hopefully this

    2. RubeRx
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Not even on the bench so must be injury related... and Martina replaced Cedric

      McQueen in for Bertrand

    3. mikess
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Martina

  19. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Haz has been pretty poor since everyone ripped their teams apart to get him in

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      He scored last week, what more do you want?

    2. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
      • 10 Years

      Basically

    3. HazardAGuess
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Exactly what happened last time I got him in. Minute I subbed him out, started scoring again. Fool me once...

  20. JogaSemmedo
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 9 days ago

    Am I the only one with Kane (c)?

    1. andymck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Yes, none of the other 4 million players have captained him.

  21. PvA

    9 years, 9 days ago

    80th min

    3 - Azpilicueta, Costa (33)

      Conte is just keeping Hazard fresh for midweek game

      1. EmreCan Hustle
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 9 days ago

        But he isn't my (C) midweek 🙁

    • Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Alonso on course for a cheeky bonus point

    • ekul the lokonga enthusiast
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Hazard to Mkhitaryan anyone???

      1. Make United Great Again
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 9 days ago

        Absolutely not

        1. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 9 days ago

          Why not?

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 days ago

        I was just thinking about this too

    • El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      To say that I (c) Hazard over Costa.. and Haz is not even in the BPS!
      MyGod! How long will this curse of captain fail follow me! 🙁

    • Emiliano Sala
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      Where the hell is cedric
      Hits !!!!!

      1. GreenArrows
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 9 days ago

        Probs rested for mid week, wouldn't worry too much

    • FALCAO & MOU
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 days ago

      No assist for that goal? Some help for those who can't watch?

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 days ago

        Commentator said Fabregas

      2. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 days ago

        McCauley took the ball before Costa took it off him.

      3. Greenbackbøøg…
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 9 days ago

        no assist

      4. DF
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 days ago

        McAuley disposessed

      5. walkman666
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 9 days ago

        Should be Fab. He passed it to Costa, and then Gareth McCauley did some matador defense (cf, Clyde Frazier commentary).

      6. FALCAO & MOU

        Thanks guys

    • Venom Snake

      An Evans goal would be perfect

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 days ago

        If Alonso wasn't on the pitch, yes

      2. El-Kloppico
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 9 days ago

        Noo0.. Evans 2nd on my bench!

      1. GreenArrows
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 9 days ago

      2. Numb

        9 years, 9 days ago

        He's the most popular captain by far as he's been scoring every week
