Gameweek 9 continues with the first of Saturday’s matches as faltering champions Chelsea take on away day specialists Watford at Stamford Bridge.

The potential for points appears strong with Marco Silva’s side likely to maintain a positive approach and attack the Blues. The Hornets are unbeaten on their travels and have amassed eight goals from their four away fixtures. And in Richarlison, they have a Fantasy asset on the ascent.

The Brazilian has three goals and three assists to his name in just seven starts, returns that have boosted his ownership by over 300,000 since Gameweek 6, leading to a 0.3 price hike.

All of Richarlison’s goals have come away from home, and he will bid to get more joy from an out-of-sorts Chelsea defence that has recorded just three clean sheets from their eight fixtures so far.

However, Antonio Conte’s side have potent weapons to punish their opponent should they gamble and attack.

Alvaro Morata will make a return to Premier League action today having missed the Gameweek 8 defeat to Crystal Palace with a hamstring injury sustained against Manchester City.

The Spaniard’s ownership is in recovery after recent heavy losses, having been the top transfer target following his Gameweek 6 hat-trick at Stoke City. Some 201,000+ managers have acquired Morata ahead of today’s clash, with 191,000 (3.7%) trusting him with their captaincy.

Morata has been involved – scored or assisted – 73% of Chelsea’s goals when on the pitch.

Eden Hazard is the other key attacking asset on show. Back in the Chelsea starting line-up against City and at Palace, his impact has so far been minimal.

But the Belgian scored a brace in the midweek Champions League draw with Rome, underlining his undoubted Fantasy potential – particularly at Stamford Bridge. Hazard scored 12 goals in home matches last season, top for midfielders and second only to Romelu Lukaku and Harry Kane.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      Is it just me or do Chelsea players seem reluctant to pass to Alonso?

        He's not making the runs as he usually does. Morata seems to stray to left wing for whatever reason (maybe to give Hazard space), that gives Alonso less space.

          hmmm no, watford are dominating thats it. Chelsea can't get a grip on the game.

      Hasn't it been coming? Watford has been playing well and Chelsea's defence looks shaky as hell.

      Wish I never got Azpi on WC last week. Chelsea's defence sucks lately.

      Watford goal great for those with just Morata in this. Less points for others, more mins for Morata?

      Any hint of offside? That Watford player was close to Courtois.

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
          8 years, 6 months ago

          Think there was a Chelsea player alongside him

        Chelsea fortunate

        Got lucky with their goal. Hopefully Watford go on to win this game

          Lucky? I take it you've not watched the game and you also don't own Chelsea assets.

          How was that a lucky goal? Amazing strike.

          You've had an absolute shocker with this comment

          Presumably you were referring to the corner that shouldn't have been?

      3. Dr. DOOM

        No kante. No party.

        Is Doucoure another Yaya Toure or Capoue?

        1. @persecuted_by_mods
            8 years, 6 months ago

            Both with a dragon ball z fusion

            He's lasted a bit longer than Capoue hasn't he?

          I am starting to think that Alonso may not be worth the money now

          Good for all Morata (C) and Hazard (C). Now they can't play 30 more minutes on own half of the pitch. Perfect!

          Shift Azpi to LCB, Cahill out Zappacosta.

          Alonso is on the chopping block
