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.

    Rough- alonso, courtois and hazard and no mee or tammy (1st sub )= 4 points
    Smooth- c'mon Harry (c) c'mon c'mon. Please !!!!!!!

      Red arrow for you there son

    2. Mick J
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      I feel you. I brought in Hazard for a hit, but captained Kane. Now I’m expecting Kane to blank again.

  2. Weasel51

    Kiko injured, dropped or rested?

    1. Yozzer
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Muscle strain

    2. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Minor muscle strain

    3. barracuda
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      A bad idea to bring him in now?

      1. Pep says
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        I'm going for Kabasele like Jay Egersdorff recommended

      2. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Still think Kiko is best 4.6 option. Should wait on injury extent

        1. Pep says
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Too many games timing up to risk a transfer on an injury doubt

          1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

            I am not saying buy him now.Lets see what has happened to him now

  3. Numb
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Hazard or Morata to get rested midweek? Or not now they lost?

    1. L'Aeroplanino
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Morata possibly
      Hazard dont think so

  4. Over Midwicket
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    What have people don't work Moreno? Keeping or selling? Out for 2GWs minimum.

    1. Over Midwicket
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Done with*

    2. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      I don't work with Moreno, HTH.

    3. Yozzer
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      I kept him. No one playing today worth selling him for. Too risky tomorrow

    4. L'Aeroplanino
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      sold for Femenia, fml.

      Dann -> Moreno previously as well

    5. FPL.team
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Sold for Zeegelar last night. Will likely swap back once hes back though.

      1. HuttonDressedasLahm
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Same

  5. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Gross to assist Duffy is that too much to ask for ?

    1. Deeney-is-a-god
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Yes, way to much

      He can assist dunk instead 😉

  6. ACAB
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Phew, so I procrastinated so much with the Kun > Hazard FT that I just left things be & went down the beach. After that display I'm wondering if Edin has returned to his past form or has just had a few good moments.

    1. *Reformed-Character*
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Complete and utter rubbish, hazard did not play badly, how dramatic can you be ....

      1. ACAB
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Not badly MoH but average, definitely not upto the hype and frenzy that's been going on here.

  7. Luton_Fan
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    things really gone well for my defense recently.

    Got Dann in for Jones and he gets dropped.
    Got Femenia in for Moreno and he is out of the squad with injury

    you couldn't make it up.

  8. Prison Mike
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Hazard (c) fail...

    Time to put a fiver on Harry Kane to score 2 or more

  9. OldBenKenobi
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Fairly sure Harts lost his place at West Ham. Adrian no.1 now

  10. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Are mee and Kiko in their bench or not at all there

    1. Numb
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Both injured

    2. Yozzer
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      No x 2

  11. The Red Devil
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Hazard+ morata
    To
    Arnie + Kane (-4) done

  12. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…

    I've actually been in tears ... 😀

    1. OldBenKenobi
      • 9 Years

      I’m sure

    2. Numb

    Pascal Gross. Time to shine. Everyone has forgotten about him recently.

    1. Bruno Bruno!!
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Gross to assist Duffy 🙂

  14. Sims
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Considering Choupo and Abraham > Richarlison and DCL with my 2 FTs. good moves surely?

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Yes

    2. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Surely. Just wait on dcl for tomorrow

  15. Gobigorgohome
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    I think I am doing Morata to Lukaku

  16. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Luckily Daniels is there for me for the noshow from mee and Kiko. Shit Abraham on bench. Hope he doesn't come for a one pointer

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      He will! Owner

  17. Aston-villain

    Lol @ Hazard Cappers

    1. Pep says
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Stfu dude. (non capper)

    2. G-Whizz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      How's that Moreno and Mee doing for you? 😆

  18. Arteta
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Triple Chelsea, triple disappointment

  19. Monkey Hanger
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Collin Quaner nailed on to score today. Odds are 19/4 to score anytime during the match.

    Thank me later.

    1. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Why? Should have told us before the deadline. 😉

      1. Monkey Hanger
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Wasn't certain he would start. Those odds for any attacking player, playing at home against a poor side are very, very good. Get on.

  20. Numb
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Might be a few struggling to get 3 defenders out with Kiko and Mee popular picks

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      I don't choose popular. Tarkowski, Naughton, Azpi here. No Kiko near my squad.

      1. CloudSky
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Azpi, not popular? Isnt he the second most owned?

    2. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Especially with Alonso being as good as a no show.

  21. the snazzy viking
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Hoping I made the right benching decisions this week

    Played Ward and Duffy over Zeeg and Daniels

    fingers crossed

  22. Alexis Nonsense
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Sold Kane to get Hazard

    Captained Haz

    Rival has Kane(C)

    JEEEEESUS

  23. IRBOX âš½
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Why would anyone captain Haz over Harry in there right mind this week?

    1. CloudSky
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Hindsight is a fickle little thing. 🙂

    2. Rash
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Because maybe sick of getting burned by him time and time again?

    3. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Because he hauled last week and has a decent fixture. But as I keep saying you don't get last week's points this GW.

    4. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      If that dog is right and everyone fails....hmm...

    5. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Form.

    6. IRBOX âš½
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah but Stoke are horrible and West Ham looked good v city, Moyes has them defensively sound

    7. *Reformed-Character*
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Oh dear what a dumb comment

    8. Mick J
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Because Hazard has had great form, Kane has not. Kane will probably blank as well.

    9. Arteta
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Harry can still blank though

  24. KUN+10
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    ....and that is why we love/hate FPL

  25. arndff_
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Charlie Daniels with a goal today!

    1. mad_beer ✅
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Bournemouth have netted just two goals on their last eight Premier League visits to London (D1 L7), failing to score in their last four capital clashes (L4).

      1. arndff_
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Ben Mee's in my starting line-up, but he's injured. Made a mistake and put Long as third sub, while Charlie Daniels is my first one... Also, I'm shipping him [Daniels] out after this GW.

        Just tryin' to stay positive. 😀

        Cheers

      2. arndff_
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        What did you say, mate? These stats prove nothing... 🙂

    2. the snazzy viking

      please no any gameweek but this one

  26. dfroes
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    i cannot believe i transfered joe hart in this week

    1. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      I did the same. Gutted is an understatement.

    2. L'Aeroplanino
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      omg

    3. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Genuinely snorted my drink out reading that.

    4. GE
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      That was riski

    5. *Reformed-Character*
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      No way did anyone get hart in don't believe that for a second

      1. Smurf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        I had two free transfers with no issues in my side other than Elliot. Hart was the cheapest starting goalkeeper.

        1. Numb
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          No he wasn't.

        2. *Reformed-Character*
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Didn't see the city game ?.

      2. dfroes
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        had elliot and krul, DGW coming up and 4.4. just thought it was a good idea somehow

  27. Smurf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Not seen the game. How was Adrian? Is he now looking like first choice?

    1. Pep says
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      He is 1st choice

    2. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGeniusâ…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Yes. In short. Two saves today, but excellent distribution.

      1. Smurf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks Doos.

  28. The Fed
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    If my first sub defender isnt playing will my second sub defender come on instead then?

    1. GE
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Yup

    2. Pep says
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      If your 1st sub is a midfielder/forward and you only have 3 defs in your starting lineup then yes. Otherwise no

    3. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      If you are playing 3 at the back yes

  29. GE
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Daniels and Moreno -> Kolasinac and Holgate (-4)?
    Other suggestions? 🙂

    (1FT, 0.9 itb)

    Speroni (Hennessey)
    Azpi/Mee/Duffy (Moreno, Daniels)
    Hazard/Salah/Ramsey/Richarlison/RLC
    Kane/Morata (Niasse)

  30. ThisTimeNxtYrRodney
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Maybe you're right. I will take it on the chin if so. A few more punches won't hurt too much, we keep getting up from the canvas each week, hoping that we can find that knockout punch, and along comes another body shot. God bless FPL.

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      This time next GW we'll be 60+ points, aye Rodney.
