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.

    Alonso got Morata's YC.

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

      Morata didn’t touch the goalie mate

      1. diesel001

        Morata was diving before.

          Different instances then

    Chelsea look really nervous

      well done Bemba Da

    What do you guys think of Bakayoko so far this season? He seems a bit sloppy to me

    1. OPTA FPL
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      average player, nothing special

    2. Yozzer
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      No matic. Conte should be kicking himself

    3. ChampChomp
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Physically stronger and more powerful than Matic, but not even close to him technically

    4. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Different type of players I know, but he's a downgrade on Matic

    5. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Kim and Drinkwater can compete for worst signing..

      1. El-Kloppico
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Him *

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Drinkwater is much better than you think.

    Ref dishing out cards, next, penalty to Chelsea

    lol @ me for (C) Hazard.

    1. zes
      • 10 Years

      The comments on here are a joke during games. it's 22 mins in ffs

    You're not fit to referee

    1. Malcolm Tucker for England …

      jeez, break it to me a bit gentler next time 🙁

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

    This is why I put the C on Kane. Having three chelsea players blanking and captaining one of them would have been horrible.

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      This!
      WHM showed last week that they can frustrate..

    2. Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      And Kane blanking wouldn't?

      Ermm its not even half time.

  10. timski8000

    Selling Matic for Bakayoko really is mystifying.

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

    Hazard sighting, beware!

  12. Gobigorgohome
    • 14 Years

    The problem in Chelsea team is Fabregas..

    1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      there are no words

    1. Sánchez
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Is he not like 4th top defender so far

  14. The Big Fella
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Double Chelsea defence wasn't such a good idea after all...............

    1. Limbo
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Derby’s have a habit of doing this. Long term isn’t bad idea.

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

    A Moyes managed team first troubling City and now possibly beating Chelsea WTF.

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      the Chosen One.. genius!

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

      Sunderland's players were worse than West Ham's to be fair.

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

    I captained Hazard....everyone else in ML captained Kane....fail

    1. zes

    Hazard not really involved

    Being marked out of the game

    1. OPTA FPL
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      haha

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

      Na. Has had a shot already. Morata the one being marked out of the game IMO.

  18. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Zapacosta is terrible. Chelsea is much better with Azpi wingback.

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Moses

    2. Gobigorgohome
      • 14 Years

  22. Sandy Ravage
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    I've owned Morata for 20 mins and he hasn't done anything. Morata > Firmino?

    1. #FPLBhuna

      No brainer

      Why? Do you enjoy the suffering of your fellow football fans? Are you some kind of psycho?

      I hope your house burns down..

  26. #FPLBhuna

    Can see Alonso potentially being subbed at half time here given he's on a yellow and 4ycs, anyone else thinking that.. fml

    1. Sterling is £11Mill..…
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago
