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.

    Lanzini for DGW is a no brainer.

    No Mee and Wilson benched lol I’m awful at this game

    Fair play to Moyes, I should have changed my views on West Ham, they are clearly better than they were. Hopefully Kane doesn't punish my captaincy decision too much..

    Davies -> Christensen looks crappy now...

    That is two matches in a row where West Ham have shut down the passing lanes against excellent attacks. Very well done.

    With Mee not playing I have this bench order
    Carroll, Niasse, Mbemba
    FAIL?
    Put Carroll before Niasse cause Niasse is probably on the bench vs Liverpool..

    Even though i have treble Chelsea i am delighted for Moyes and West Ham they needed to catch a break.

      Yes, football is the real winner here.

      Seriously?

  14. Ode

    Hazard's 4 points is still my joint 4th highest captain score of the season

    14 (Lukaku, Agüero)
    12 (Lukaku, Kane)
    8 (Salah)

    Morata and Hazard flop making me feel better about my Morata to Kane(c) transfer this GW. Even if Kane gets a RC it can't be that much worse than Hazard(c) or Morata(c) because they didn't haul..

    Kiko a no go then? Kabasele the main man.

      Kiko/Zaaegelar always a risk

        Holebas back on the bench. Asking for trouble after seeing Kiko get the chop

      I might have to start listening to him, the guy is blessed

      1. Pep says
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        He's got no bias or favouritism towards players. Picks nailed on guys, nothing less. Doesn't get distracted by the flashy new guy who has a ready and able replacement sitting on the sidelines week in week out..

      Minor injury only.

        Source? They're playing 4 at the back today, is that not something to do with it??

    Thank God I didn't captain Hazard. The reason I didn't was because I thought it would ruin my gameweek before it's already started if he failed. And it would have.

    I'm just delaying the disappointment by a couple of hours with Kane 😆
