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.

    Early goal is bad news. Everyone is behind the ball.

      Kane(c), Coutinho(c), Salah(c), Aguero(c) and Sanchez(c) are enjoying this.

        Of course I'm a new Hazard owner and threw him the armband

          I'm a Hazard owner. I didn't trust him with the (c) this week. But he could get a goal or brace easily.

            I had it on Coutinho but there was a lot of talk on here about the weather so i switched.

      Not sure if Chelsea can tire the West Ham players out as they are quite slow in their build up play

    Chelsea subs with hot water bottles. LOL

      Now precisely why is that funny ? My lad is at the game and says it's perishing.

        • 10 Years

        It’s an embarrassment

        1. George Sillett
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          It's practical.

    Really high energy pressing by WHM, doing well. It'll be a big ask to keep it up though...

  5. boc610
    • 14 Years

    take alonso off already

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

      Alonso owner?

  6. El-Kloppico
    • 10 Years

    12 men defense for WHM

  7. Chirsbom
    • 8 Years

    The pressure is on. The bus is parked. Tight positions but lovely football.

    Got Courtois & have 1 CS in last 4 GW ,investing 5.4m in a keeper & not getting returns is frustrating so thinking of cheap GK & upgrading mbemba & Daniels .

    Adrian is performing very good & is he a option now, who's good cheap regular GK or trust Courtois??

    Relax peeps, Chelsea goal coming, this isn't sustainable from West Ham

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Chelsea are hardly creating chance after chance

    2. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      I captained Hazard.

      West Ham cleanie locked in.

  10. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    It's a brick wall, no way Chelsea breaking this down the way they are playing through the middle

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

      I agree with you Bemba

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Moysey Masterclass.

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

      Which is weird cause you'd think that the whole point of playing a formation with wingbacks would be to concentrate wide play...

    4. Leonard hatred
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      haz will work a space eventually.

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

    This doesnt look good as a Morata & Haz owner. hoping for some goal involvement

  12. Differentiator
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    What did Alonso get booked for?

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

      Keeper feigning injury

    2. Leonard hatred
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      collided with Adrian, nothing serious but his knee was quite high in teh keeper's chest.

      probably hurt, probably wasn't a yellow.

  13. Shultan

    Did sane > haz instead of coutinho

    Coutinho & sane owners your in for a haul

    As per Limbo's comment a couple of pages back, the game is also being shown on sky one

    1. Limbo

    This is karma for Dingo's trolling re Morata.

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

    Arnie looks rejuvenated under Moyes

  17. #FPLBhuna
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 4 months ago

    Can see half time sub: Alonso >> Pedro/moses. 0 pointer for Alonso. Horrific. Hope I'm wrong.

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

      It's a 1 point difference...

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

    I got Alonso in a few weeks back, not produced anything yet.

    Is he really all that? 6.9 a hefty tag to pay.

  19. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years

    Great tactics from Moyes last weekend and again today

    Last weekend got a bit unlucky but really taken out hazard so far and hitting Chelsea on the counter with pace

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

      Game is set up for Hernandez to come on after 70 mins as well and do a Vardy type role

  20. Rainer

    Adrian 4 England

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

      He is Spanish

      1. Fifa las vegas
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        What harm

      2. Leonard hatred
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        i suspect he knows.

        I've been trying to change Joe Hart's nationality for him, but the paperwork is a pita.

      3. Sim Simma
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        So is Almunia.. Wasn't he called to play for England too

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

        Think he can get British (English) citizenship and qualify for England. But home nations rules probably mean he can't be selected for England.

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

      he is Spanish

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

        And? Hasnt stopped Almunia or Arteta

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

      He is piano

      1. Limbo

    I was going to transfer Daniels to Alonso this week, but 4 yc is annoying.

    So he needs to survive Huddersfield and Southampton to not get a ban or Hud, Sot and Everton?

    Cheers

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

      4ycs annoying but shouldn't be terminal. Wouldn't say he's playing particularly rashly. Wasn't a YC today

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

        The way they play, home and away..

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

      It means West Ham only kept the ball in 39s

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

    Haz not as active as last week..
    the 90min midweek still in his feet..

    3. Limbo

    Why did Hazard get dropped?

    1. Leonard hatred
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Hazard, Alonso, Christensen -> Arnie, Antonio, Masuauakuakkaakkaa

    1. Fifa las vegas
      • 13 Years

    If any games are cancelled or postponed due to weather what happens to those players in our teams? Do they try and reschedule if for the same gw still? Or do we get totally screwed over and just get big 0s and they get a double at some point?

    1. Fifa las vegas
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Big fat zeros

    2. Fred54
      • 11 Years

      0s and DGWs.
