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.

    Knee jerked Hazard out yesterday in favour of Oscar as I thought the latter was on penos.... Sometimes one can be too clever!!

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

      How was it a knee jerk? 😀

    2. how now brown cow
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Sold before he's even played??

    3. SW6
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      That wasn't clever at all

    4. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      The jerk is you in full, not only your knees

    5. MDK
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      You made a transfer before tonights game?

    6. dcarlito
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Eh but Chelsea hadn't played yet? That's not knee jerking, that's something else... 😉

    7. Strawberry Jelavic
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Sorry meant to say o knee jerked him Sat morning. Assumed he was on penos, but then there was all talk of Oscar being on them, he's first for penos in set piece takers section etc.. And o wanted as many peno takers as possible in my team! So ironically the one guy I took out actually scored one! Grr

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

      That isn't a knee jerk that is changing your mind pre season

      1. Strawberry Jelavic
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        No, it's a knee jerk when it's done thirty minutes before the deadline, pre season or no

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

          That isn't a knee jerk that is a last minute change that you decided to make on your own accord. A knee jerk is where you make a knee jerk reaction based on short term performance of a player. For example making a transfer of Firmino > Coutinho could be described as knee jerk.

  17. MoeZe3bi

    Valenica Assist

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

    No assist right?

  19. NLB
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    quite the strike from a CB!

    1. Slartibartfast
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Wasn't he a striker earlier in his career?

  20. Ha.
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Realise it's a bad time to post... But maybe now I'll get a more balanced answer...

    A) Friend > Azpi
    B) Vardy > Ibra
    C) Save

    My defence is quite light and so could use an upgrade

    1. Morgs
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      B

    2. #23
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Who is your other def? Friend look like a BAP machine. Might be worth holding onto

      1. Ha.
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Stones is the only other one that I could afford to upgrade

  21. Nicks93
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Regardless of that silly goal, I think Chelsea are looking great imo

    1. zotter
      • 17 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Agreed

  22. Robe Wan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    An Oscar goal here and I'm decativating my wildcard

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

      You can't deactivate a wildcard!

  23. Would an idiot do that?
    • 12 Years

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