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

      Strange decision to bench Zaha?

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

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

      Brought in Costa and Kane. Who says hits don't work?

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

        Reply fail.

    5. Fred54

      9 years, 10 days ago

      Fwiw I have amassed 18 points from last 4 captains, almost as bad.

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

        I imagine your rank has taken a kick in the nuts too then? Sad times.

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

    I went de Bruyne + Anichebe over Costa + Can, FML.

    1. Ryan Naysmith
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      what the hell

  5. karvs155
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 10 days ago

    Best Combo?
    A) Alonso + Diomande
    B) Pieters + fwd under 6.8?

  6. CABAYE4
    • 14 Years

    No more action please!

  7. GoodFella93

  8. Nomar

    • 16 Years

    Anyone else's Chelsea link been playing up all game?

  9. Numb
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 10 days ago

    I assume most people captained Costa given his form?

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      No

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

        I don't mean you specifically.

        1. Make United Great Again
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 10 days ago

          I know

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

      EO is over 100 so probably

      1. The Fantastic Mr Fox
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 10 days ago

        No its. Not overall EO

    3. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      I definitely did.

    4. 1966 was a great year for E…
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      Overall, yes. Top 10k, no.

      So casuals, basically.

    5. AllGonePozzo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      I captained Firmino and still happy with decision despite Costa's haul.

      1. Bleach †
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 10 days ago

        Costas haul? 😀 😀 😀

  10. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 10 days ago

    Not having a Chelsea defender this week is going to hurt me

  11. Pariße
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 10 days ago

    If you own Sanchez and Hazard, but captained the latter there's not much to worry about, leaving Amat on the bench is a bigger problem 🙂

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

      Amat's first on my bench with Cedric in my XI 😀

  12. The Fantastic Mr Fox
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 10 days ago

    Somebody buy costa and break the streak. Take one for the team 😀

  13. BrutalLogiC
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 10 days ago

    need Spurs big win to nil 😡

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

      A Kane brace is enough! 🙂

  14. The Royal Robin
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 10 days ago

    Why is Azpi on for 3 BAPS? 😐

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

      He currently has the most BPS

      1. walkman666
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 10 days ago

        Ha! Appropriate reply

  15. PvA
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 10 days ago

    I always thought Dawson and McAuley were the same person

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

    Alonso you donkey. Wasted 8 points 🙁

    1. GoodFella93
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      ?

  17. Bleach †
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 10 days ago

    I would be way more succesful, if the game would be without the double pts for (c).

  18. TwiggsJameson
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 10 days ago

    Hopefully Redmond will stay on the bench and I can get Diomande off the bench.

  19. camarozz
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 10 days ago

    Raging. Haz (C) fail yet again..

  20. 1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 10 days ago

    He's not getting another yellow card all season is he.

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

      He will start getting a few after the extension to 10

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

      No.. he's vital for the clash against Sunderland! My (c) is locked!

  21. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 10 days ago

    At least Kun's moment of madness last week forced me to sell him for Costa

    1. sminkypinky
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      Same

  22. andymck
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 10 days ago

    At least taking a hit to get Alonso in for Williams is looking like it might pay off!

  23. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 10 days ago

    Matic yellow

    on the tightrope

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

    De Bruyne + Hazard hurts so much man.

  25. Fowler23
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 10 days ago

    What are the odds Costa will not get a yellow for the rest of the season.

    1. fiveyears
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      Only has 4 GWs to get his 5th anyway doesn't he? Then it sets to 10 for a ban

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

      Nil the way he is playing right now.

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

      As long as he makes the date they increase YC threshold, not really concerned.

  26. @ocprodigy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 10 days ago

    Mane (c) step forward.

    1. SW6
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      This! Brace incoming I reckon

  27. The Royal Robin
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 10 days ago

    58 with Clyne, Firmino and BAPS to come. B-)

    1. Hybrid.power

  28. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 10 days ago

    Costa on pens with Hazard off?

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

      I think it's Fabragas or Willian after Oscar but could be wrong.

  29. sminkypinky
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 10 days ago

    Come on Alonso. Still a differential in my ML

    1. The Royal Robin
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      +1

      Always looks a threat.

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

      Only about 7% overall too

    3. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 10 days ago

      +1
