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.

    Chelsea defenders not looking too appealing now

    This is what happens when you play Fabregas

  3. Ginkapo FPL
    • 14 Years

    And not one person named the scorer

    Double Chelse def + Haz captain means that’s a -10

    Arnautovic red card coming

      Hahaha thought exactly the same

    If any confirmation was required that expensive defence is in the bin

    1. Toothless

      Otamendi and Kolasinac are doing me well.

    Azpi was a dream to own for months. As soon as everyone jumps on Chelsea DEF, this happens 🙁

      Exactly. That goal against Watford and assist against Utd were beautiful.

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

        Not as a United fan :p

        Owning Azpi and Morata at that point was a small crumb of comfort though.

    Alonso to United defender incoming!

    1. Digital-Real

      This

    Azpi to Jones for a -4?

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

      Already made your GW transfer..?

    2. Toothless
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Does this mean you've made 1 FT already!?

      But no, not when they're playing Hudds next week!

    I didn't buy Alonso for the clean sheets 😎

    1. ZimZalabim

      alonso free kick incoming

  11. Jekori

    That's it. Instead of a Llori/Vertonghen combo I rather take Adrian/Masuaku double up for GW22. Cheap as chips and Masuaku really is a nice dribbler. Some good deliveries as a sub earlier too. Hope they improve defensively under Moyes

    Chelsea hate clean sheets

  13. Yozzer

    Christiansen --》 Jones

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years

      Rumours that Jones will get injured next week

  14. Digital-Real

    Alonso is so last season

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      He's a goal hanger. He doesn't help his defence enough.

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

        we have him for his attacking points...in theory!

  15. Orange Roughy

    Arnie and Lanzini putting their hands up for DGW consideration?

  16. SkeletONv01

    Christensen>Amat?

  17. OPTA FPL

    David Moyes is really a good manager

  19. Forza Papac

    West Ham hitting form in time for DGW would be quite something

  20. Jam0sh
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Moyes is best manager

  21. makaveli123
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Glad that I benched Azpi

  22. Digital-Real
    • 9 Years

    Total football from Moyes

  23. FPL ZB
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 9 Years

    Right, I think one of Azpi or Christensen needs to go
