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.

      one thing to unite all England fans - a mutual hatred of Joe Hart.

      Agree entirely, all that time on the bench - nice chip on his shoulder and defense was outstanding today in terms of desire and energy. Had they given up on Bilic?

    This is Moyes best win in his very illustrious career

      Finally long gets a game, but at the expense of mee and have Gomez in front on the bench ah well

  9. HuttonDressedasLahm
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Well, at least I bought Zeegelaar over Kiko this week!

  10. Going Home
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    How concerned should I be about Mee and Kiko for midweek?

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Kiko had a muscle strain, here's considered quite a star, so only lost place due to injury.

    2. Arctic_Orangutans
      • 10 Years

      I’m concerned about kiko just got rid of Gomoz for him

    thoughts on Mustafi ➡ P.Jones instead of Mustafi ➡ Christensen?

  17. camarozz

    Roll on Tuesday. Haz(c) fail. Most my rivals either Salah or kane (c)

    Hurts bad.

    1. Delph & Safety
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Yep. Would hurt more if I captained Kane and he blanked.

  18. Delph & Safety
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Well that was crap. Captain fail again.

  19. Fred54
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Haz (C), but surprisingly even owning Kane is a diff in my main MLs, so there's something to cling on to.

  20. Monkey Hanger

    Conte was seriously one dimensional. Deserved to lose.

    1. Duke Silver ☑
      • 11 Years

      Yeah it took them until injury time to actually try something different. Woeful performance.

  21. ooooo
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Which one?
    A) DCL + Gross + Kiko
    B) Murray + Choupo + 4.5mil

    Who comes in from your bench for Ben Mee?

  26. Qaiss
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Surprised how bad Chelsea were. Didn't create much. Morata isn't clinical at times.

    Goddamn why do I listen to the clueless people on here, burned me last season, and now again. I bet Kane steps up with a hatty now.
