The Gameweek begins in the vast amphitheatre that is the London Stadium as West Ham host champions Chelsea in the early kick-off.

From a Fantasy perspective, the big news is that Alvaro Morata starts for Antonio Conte’s side, diffusing Friday’s reports stating that he had pulled up in training. The Spaniard leads the line for the Blues, with Eden Hazard presumably deployed up in support in the No 10 role. That pair have scored or assisted 12 of Chelsea’s 15 goals away from home this season and will surely carry the threat to the Hammers.

Elsewhere for Chelsea, Andreas Christensen earns a sixth successive start in defence, while David Zappacosta earns a recall at right wing-back with Victor Moses rested to the bench, this despite his two assists in the 3-1 win over Newcastle United.

The West Ham line-up includes Adrian in goal, with his performance at Manchester City in Gameweek 15 earning him the nod over Joe Hart. Both Andy Carroll and Chicharito have returned to fitness but are kept in reserve by David Moyes as Michail Antonio leads the attack.

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

  10. El_Shaw
    • 10 Years

    • 16 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Great... Tammy, Mee and me signing for the week Kiko: all benched.

    8 years, 4 months ago

    wow Kiko dropped completely?

  13. Sims
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    ffs kept abraham for this fixture.

    definitely leaving the side now

    1. grumpyman
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      The most depressing thing is the inevitable 1pt cameo from the bench. Richarlison first sub, lol@me

  14. Albert_Luque
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    No mee, no Kiko, no abraham. And looking like a Haz/Morata fail. What a bloody nightmare.

  15. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Morata to firmino could be good
    Hazard to kdb in a week as well?

    1. built_this_city
      • 8 Years

      If Liverpool’s game gets called off I’m selling Salah.

    6. Krionos

      Lol. This guy...

    7. HNI
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Very strong move bro
      Would also recommend Salah to Mikhi to make it complete

      Hazard just had some good games recently and the fixtures ain't that bad. FPL is all about patience with the players you got. I'd say keep for 1-2 games and if he isn't scoring in any of those, it's time to ship him out.

      I have for example kept firmino from GW1 and finally it has payed off 🙂

  16. UnitednationsXI

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

    Did this game just become lackluster..?

    1. Viper
      • 16 Years

      Very

  21. Viper
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    I was going to sell Wilson this week regardless but he has to go now. Glenn Murray, Austin or DCL the main candidates. I'll have a bit of scouting to do this weekend

  22. SirStevieG

    How can Swansea bench the only player scoring goals for them this season? What an absolute joke!

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Bony is starting

      1. SirStevieG
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        And he has how many goals this season?

        1. Ramboros
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          Do you even watch Swansea play?

    2. Differential C (Mark)
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Bony masterclass incoming

  23. Monkey Hanger

    It's only a gash on his knee. They said.

    1. how now brown cow

      If I had a gash on my knee I don't think I'd want to leave the house.

      1. Monkey Hanger
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        The barn surely.

  24. Differential C (Mark)
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Suttner back in the mix, I see

  25. Ode
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    I can smell a Chelsea 90th min penalty

  26. built_this_city
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Bemba Da what a hero

    Anyone got a link to his team?

  27. jimmy12
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    My last minute Coutinho (C) to Hazard could be a big mistake

  28. CloudSky
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    I could do with a Christensen goal in West Ham net right about now.

  29. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Time to sell Hazard and Morata

    1. Chirsbom
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Please do pleb..
