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.

      They'll really need a win by the looks of it

      Definitely not with a loss here...

    Four 1-1 draws in today's 3pm games (Spurs excluded), €1 returns €1,950.

    Just saying 😉

    Morata to be rested midweek? Hasn't looked on it and Batshuayi is ready.

  4. Whats the Huth

    Sold Cresswell for Kiko.
    Mee not playing.
    Moreno injuried.
    My 5th defender is bench fodder.

    I have one defender this week.

    What the hell has Moyes done to WHM?....barely recognisable to that rubbish just a couple of weeks ago...

    1. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Yes. Credit where it's due.

      1. Dr Dream

      A masterclass from Moyes. He really knows how to rubbish teams great, and great teams rubbish

    5. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years

      Great compact defending. Chelsea have little space to play in.

  14. Digital-Real
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Alonso > Jones?
    Seems like the right move

  15. mad_beer ✅
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    No Kiko and no Mee means RLC and Smalling play. I can take that.

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

      Not bad, could be a blessing

    2. Krionos
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      This period is hectic. Ive mentioned several times how important a strong bench is right now!

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

    If the snow does cause postponements I can see some managers with 9, 8 or even fewer players this week.

    1. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Yes. Feeling very smug with my 8 from 3 including captain.

    • 11 Years

    1. CloudSky
      • 9 Years

  24. Dave Bauer
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Hazard > Arnautovic for -4?

    1. HonestBlatter
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Yay do it now before price changes

      1. Dave Bauer
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        That’s what I’m thinking

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