Gameweek 1 concludes at the Bridge, as Chelsea boss Antonio Conte becomes the final new manager to make his Premier League bow.

His opening task is far from straightforward. West Ham United arrive as opposition boasting one of the finest away records in the league under Slaven Bilic last season.

That included a 2-2 draw in the corresponding fixture, where goals from Manuel Lanzini and Andy Carroll earned the Hammers a point.

While Lanzini sits out tonight’s match through injury, Carroll is in the starting line-up although Dimitri Payet can only make the bench.

The Frenchman could yet see action and will surely post the biggest threat to Conte’s rearguard once on the pitch. His 28% ownership will certainly be desperate for him to make an appearance.

Chelsea have their own gamechanger in Eden Hazard. The Belgian starts for the Blues as he auditions for the heavy-hitter midfield role in our squads.

There’s no shortage of talent on show. We can only hope that translates to points and a Monday night spectacle.

    Mahrez & Fuchs > Hazard & Terry, any takers.

    1. ChristoBisto
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Hazard has only matched Mahrez so far, Terry hasn't got a clean sheet yet.

    Hazard on pens eh...

    1. Donkey_Sanctuary
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I'm listening to the game on the radio and as a Hazard owner fully expected the commentator to say "Oscar standing over the ball ready to take the penalty" so was very happy to find out that Hazard is on pens!

  12. Brayden29
    • 12 Years

    I went Oscar over Haz 🙁

    1. FPL Puppy
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Many people did.

      1. Yank Revolution
        • 14 Years

    Hazard has been incredible today

    1. Mull
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Steady on.

  14. HellasLEAF
    • 17 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    As was said earlier, the pages are flying, with Hazard on Pens and looking lively, plus no Europe to worry about, he could be the man to own in midfield..

    1. Would an idiot do that?
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Thanks for that! Hadn't noticed

  15. SW6

    The Monday Night Football captaincy rule is so real.

    1. Mull
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      No it isn't.

  16. Godot - Fashanu Zealand
    • 14 Years

    How has Ayew looked? Has he been playing up front?

    1. 4vets
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Oh dear...

    2. Clump
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Ayew serious?

    3. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Injured.

    4. dhamphiir
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      He is injured. Already been sub in first half

    5. Ziro
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Who gonna break the news?

    6. World XI

    7. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Subbed of in the first half. Didn't do much.

    8. Godot - Fashanu Zealand
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Just home from work ._.

  17. Clump
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    I'll just go check how this game changes my GW score..
    Maybe not, new site doesn't work 🙁

  18. pundit of punts

    Hazard + Mahrez + Redmond in midfield. 🙂

    Only Alli letting me down. 🙁

    1. super zlatan
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I have the same three plus delu

  19. Pariße
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    The fact that Oscar took the penalty in pre-season made me do Hazard & Ibra > Sanchez & Vardy, the clubs of 3 of those players had a penalty and my pair took none.

  20. Champ
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Price aside,

    Would you prefer Mahrez, Redmond, Coutinho or Lamela for Ayew?

    Already have Alli, Tadic and Firmino...

    1. Ridgewell's scores
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Coutinho out of those.

      1. super zlatan
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Mahrez

    2. Champ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Cheers

    How to get Haz in..........

    1. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Transfer(s).

      1. Limbo
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Glib

  22. Ziro
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Hazard gliding with the ball through the midfield like a butter knife. Willian with the ball like a cheese-grater.

  23. Fergietime
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    I have Hazard and Azip, finally a bit of light after captaining Vardy

  24. Johnny Drama
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Missed the first half, who was good? How did my man Feghouli do?

    1. kijsberg
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Your man Feghouli isn't playing and isn't even on the bench.

      1. Johnny Drama
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Woooow, do you know why?

    2. Johnny Drama
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      He didn't play??

      1. kijsberg
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Knock in training.

        1. Johnny Drama
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Well well, he will be back soon?

    3. Pub Crawl to the Townsend
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Not even on bench

  25. Bubz
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Hazard the only player in my team I'm fully happy with 😆

    1. pundit of punts
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      And, you almost dropped him for Sanchez before deadline.

      1. Bubz
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I know, thank god I didnt do that

  26. PogChamp
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Could do with a West Ham goal. Apzi is nearly 13% 🙁

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Thats why I got him, too highly owned not to have him in me squad.

  27. Van der Faart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    It seems Chelseas plan A is Hazard, and their plan B is also Hazard

  28. Lone Wolf FPL
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Hazard (C) GW2?

    1. super zlatan
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Kun more than likely

  29. aehii
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Hazard on pens then. Wonderful.

  30. Cojiro
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    I joked at the start that all you needed to do was Kun, Ibra, Hazard auto complete to do well...
