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.

    Can't wait to ditch Alonso and Azpi. Useless waste of funds

      Got rid this week 🙂 for Christensen 🙁

    Christensen skinned by Arnie

    Why did I get Alonso lol

    Alonso just walking back for the West Ham goal. Needs to do more defensively - leaves the back three too exposed down the left hand side.

    1. Big P
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Has bang average. So overrated

    2. Yozzer

      He has to be dropped soon. He's garbage this season in real life

    We still won't bring in West Ham assets!

      Hadn't realised how dirt cheap Adrian is...

        More inclined to get him for the DGW than Kane at the minute!

    Really weird mentality around here sometimes that it's best to rage sell

    (I.e. after the points have gone and before they inevitably come!)

    Fook FPL

    C’mon West Ham score a few more

  8. JÆKS ⭐

    So Ramsey Christensen over Kiko Coutinho is looking like a fail already

  9. fiveyears
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Can't see Christensen lasting much longer

  10. Woy_is_back

    Haz cap FAIL

  11. Arteta
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Hazard scored yet?

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

    Where's all the Hazard captain fail posts?

    1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
      • 8 Years

      Look two posts up haha

  13. SkeletONv01

    I didnt buy Christensen for the clean sheet points

    Over 200 PL games televised from 2019/2020 season - over half of the total PL games. Those 15.00 kick-offs are going to be crap games.

    1. Dreaming of glory
      • 10 Years

      Should just open 3pm games up to be televised. Ppl will still go to the games and pubs will get more trade with ppl going to see them. They already do this in Ireland showing pl 3pm kos

    Retrospective action incomming

    1. VS10_
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Only if it was given.

    2. FPL ZB
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Why does no one understand this rule

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

      Isn't that only allowed when they actually fool the referee? He didn't buy it so I think he can't get retrospective action. For that dive at least.

  16. sminkypinky

    Dive

  17. Syd.
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Morata diving

  18. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Pathetic from Morata 😆

  19. VS10_
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Morata escaping another yellow for diving. 😆

  20. FPL ZB
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Bakayoko and Zappcosta were some pretty average summer signings

    1. sminkypinky
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Agree

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

      Selling Matic was the poor move IMO. Bakayoko is fine if you are playing Swansea at home. Zappacosta is backup for Moses.

  21. Toothless
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Chelsea trying to cheat their way back in?

  22. Woy_is_back
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Should have been booked

  23. The Rock
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Morata dive, could that be punished? Or is it only if the team were to get an advantage from it?

    1. FPL ZB
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Only if penalty five.

      1. FPL ZB
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Given

    2. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      The latter. He does this every week

    3. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Nope, was noticed by ref right?

    4. The Martinis
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      No dive, watch it again.

  24. Les Bleus
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    How many times had Alonso been at fault for Chelsea conceding a goal this year? He needs to remind himself that his primary job is to defend.

    He is so overrated because of how good Chelsea are going forward.

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

    Morata is pathetic, disgraceful behaviour

  26. Chucky
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    glad i didn't get any chelsea defenders...

    1. SkeletONv01
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Stop it, your team is just poor and you cant afford one.

  27. FPL Emu
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    West Ham look really up for this

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

      Chelsea at home. They should be up for it.

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

    Talks about transferring defenders 15 minutes in first match of the weekend puzzles me. There will probably be more urgent matters later on, when your mids and strikers gets a red, injury or does another blank..

  29. james 101

    Predict the score?

    WHM - CHE

    1. Klopptomist Scott Jelly
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Oh wait...

    2. FPL Emu
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Typical 1-2 Chelsea win

    3. james 101
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      1-2 IMO

      Hoping Haz bonuses

      8 years, 4 months ago

      2-0

    5. Coaly
      • 13 Years

    Can’t wait for azpi to score or assist and see if he’s still being ditched by everyone
