The final fixture of Gameweek 9 sees us pay visit to Stamford Bridge, where Chelsea entertain former manager Jose Mourinho and Man United at 4pm.

The home side have chalked up two straight wins and clean sheets since Antonio Conte switched to a 3-4-3 formation, defeating Hull and Leicester in consecutive Premier League fixtures.

Diego Costa is the Blues’ main threat, having scored or assisted in seven of the Blues’ first eight fixtures.

The Spain international sits just one booking short of a single-match suspension, though it’s worth noting that a caution today would see him sit out the midweek EFL Cup clash with West Ham and free him up to face Southampton in Gameweek 10.

Those who have held onto Zlatan Ibrahimovic will be hoping for signs of a return to form, bearing in mind the Reds then host Burnley next weekend.

The Swede – who is the second most-captained player for Gameweek 9 – has plummeted in price to 11.3 after scoring just one goal in his previous six league outings.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    So Mourinho is not the 8th Wonder of the world.

    1. Bolivian Seaman
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      He's definitely lost his touch

  2. Rolls-Royce
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Mata, Martial, Carrick should be starting. Sick of seeing Tree & Lingard start.

    1. Polaris - The Mortal Coil
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Not starting Martial never made sense to me.

      Smalling & Blind have had mares. Fellaini's been crap, and as usual the only players looking to press are Herrera & Bailly.

    2. Ryan Naysmith
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Martial is essential in any team it's madness

  3. Granville

    Red card challenge that.

  4. Syd.
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Luiz is a lucky boy

    That should be a red card

  5. Rolls-Royce
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Luiz should be off.

  6. El-Kloppico
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    The clash of fern-heads! 🙂

  7. ★Kuntheman★
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    That should've been a red

  8. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Since when is assaulting Fellaini an offence?

  9. Greenbackbøøg…
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Should be off Luiz

  10. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Stonewall red card

    1. Eden Azzzar
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Knew I shouldn't of captained him

    2. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Nah Stone has been proven to be worthless today.

      You want a Dierwall.

  11. Stockport Hatter

    Any ideas how I could improve this?

    Luiz looks a bit like Fellini

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Haircist.

    2. Hibbo

      Blatantly racist comment.

    3. Sánchez
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Hahaha

  13. SW6

    9 years, 6 months ago

    Why has Schneiderlin never been given a chance at Man Utd? He's lightyears ahead of Fellaini

    1. Belsunz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Harsh on Fellaini. One of the better performers for Utd this season...

    2. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Did him and Schweiny come in the same window. What a waste for all concerned...

  14. Rolls-Royce
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Lingard is a liability. What on earth Mou sees in him.

    Thanks to a Phantom injury Mou can't even bring Rooney on 2nd half

    If Utd lose this at least they can blag on about their history

  19. The Man Pastore

    Antonio + Sterling --> Siggy + Coutinho for -4pts. Yay or Nay?

    1. Robe Wan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Nay

    2. Differentiator

    3. ryacoo

  20. columbo

    Antonio and hazard to coutinho and firmino for free a no brainer, with 0.2 left in the bank? No Liverpool cover otherwise, and can't afford mane unless downgrading more.. Hazard looking better the last two matches mind.

    What are deleted comments about?
    Im guessing its about someone looking like someone as lots seem to be posting about players looking like each other

    1. Robe Wan

    Europa league hangover again, Utd already lost away to Watford and drew at home with Stoke after a Europa league match

    1. MrMaverick
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Easy excuse, utterly outplayed by Watford and by Chelsea

      1. Revival
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Its a real thing. Liverpool lost at home to Crystal Palace and Spurs also got beaten at home by Newcastle after a Europa league games last season.

  24. MrMaverick

      1. Smurf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        I'm really tempted even though I shouldn't be.

    2. Fred54
      • 11 Years

    2. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Conte: Get a soft YC in this match so you serve your suspension in silly cup game.
