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.

      1. @ocprodigy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        From pre season, yes.

    • Js31
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Do you get 2 WC per season?

    • Bad Seed
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      costa no longer an option now you get booked for dissent

      1. Make United Great Again
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Yep. Not very explosive either and doesn't get many BPS

    • Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      And that's the downside to owning Costa.

    • Dormer
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Haz on pens for Chelsea?

      1. KOLASINA(C)
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Oscar took couple of them when Hazard was on a pitch in preseason.

    • Typo
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Oscar looks good

      1. Worzel Gummidge
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Agreed. He should partner Tom Daley at synchronised diving.

      2. Syd.
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Costa

        Red card magnet 😆

      3. KOLASINA(C)
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Costa YC already.

        BTW, Capoue is such a legend. 🙂

        9 years, 7 months ago

        Costa booked. Just needs a goal and no bonus points now for a typical Costa performance.

        1. ★Kuntheman★
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Yep

      5. @ocprodigy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Oscar you idiot, why not just go and shoot?

      6. Kirwan24
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Costa will see red just for shouting at the ref

      7. Frank Black
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        LOL. Is there anyone who thought Costa wasn't going to get a yellow card?

      8. JAC THE CAT
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Costa quickly reminds me why I don't want him.

      9. Jimmers
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        And that's why no one should have Costa. Red card incoming
