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.

    Sounds like Richarlison's been at the Mo Salah finishing school

    Can't figure out if that's Salah or Richarlison..

    As it stands, Chelsea points at home: 5. Watford points away: 13

    Should we have expected this??

    Why is Bakayoko considered a DM?? He has no defense instincts whatsoever. Not alert to the second ball and doesn't take up good defensive positions. He's more a Pogba wannabee.

    Chelsea really missing Kante.

    1. OPTA FPL
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 6 months ago

      lol he is shit and overrated

  14. Syd.
    • 16 Years

    Chelsea defenders being found out without Kanté & Matic

    They really are shit

    1. diesel001

      Conte hasn't put in a like-for-like replacement. All he has to do is take out Fabregas and put in Luiz and play Zappacosta at RWB with Azpi at CB. Playing Fabregas in a midfield two is stupid.

      It was mentioned earlier how Hazard stunts Alonso forward moves.If that's the case why doesn't the Chelsea manager play a proper defender at left back?
