Sunday’s Premier League action is completed by a potentially tumultuous clash at Old Trafford as Manchester United host champions Chelsea.

Inevitably the head-to-head between Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte will hog the media spotlight but the interest of Fantasy managers is likely to lie elsewhere.

David De Gea is the top owned asset on show – he remains part of 43.2% of squads with his managers hoping that the Spaniard can help his side to a sixteenth clean sheet of the season. He’s kept three successive shut-outs at Old Trafford.

But Chelsea have the weaponry to breach Mourinho’s rearguard.

Both Eden Hazard and Willian arrive in superb form, though the pair are relative differentials, owned by 7.9% and 7.5% respectively.

Hazard has six goals in his last six Gameweeks while Willian arrives having scored in an impressive midweek showing against Barcelona. The Brazilian has two goals and three assists in his last two Premier League starts.

That pair will flank Alvaro Morata who earns a recall and first start since Gameweek 23.

Marcos Alonso remains a far more popular Blues asset, though he has lost over 364,000 owners over the last two Gameweeks heading into this afternoon’s encounter. However, the wing-back is still part of 1.1 million squads.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Alonso gone off the boil after the first five mins. Offsides, shots off target, losing the ball.....

    Congrats to all those who sold Hazard 5GWs back for Lingard and used those funds to get Alonso 😀

        So either before BGW 31 or while the game is being updated? 😛

        1. Fred54

          8 years, 3 months ago

          Well after the game updates.

          I fly out on Saturday and will be in transit until Sunday, so limited access to internet, so need to catch any price changes and I'm gonna assume a lot of people will do transfers that weekend with a WC in hand.

    Morata is a weakling

    1. Point-one short
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Meh, he did get elbowed in the face...

    2. Darklord_bg
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      He was terrible...

  5. Zilla
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    If we just always play Martial on the left.

    1. Nascimento
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      And Sanchez

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

    Morata could have been killed by that elbow

  7. Bun Rab
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Well that's Chelsea's season in a nutshell. In control, probably ahead fairly and go in level.

    Oh and Morata diving around. This is what Drogba used to do... Just sayin'

    1. Digital-Real
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Drogba didn't go to ground this often.

      1. Bun Rab
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        He really did. So often that the team would just play on when he went down.

    2. Darklord_bg
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Amen to that...

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

        He's nowhere near as bad as Drogba. He was truly embarrassing...!!!

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

          Yeah, I disagree on that part, but the rest is true.

  8. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Willian, Morata and Hazard talking to Atkinson at the whistle moaning.

  9. ZeBestee
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Morata is 25M maximum. Chelsea were robbed. Conte should introduce Giroud early in the second half.

    1. Sailboats
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Agree. Morata is weak and useless at holding the ball up.

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

        For his body size, he should do much better at that. Cant pass the ball, cant link up and weak! Only good at headers.

    2. Darklord_bg
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Is Giroud fit? If so he should definitely play.

  10. tisza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    gotta be honest.
    thought this might be a pig of a game Jose 0-0 job.
    Pretty decent so far.

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

      Yep decent game.

      Crowd are dead though, I mean I know its United at home and they are hardly renowned for atmosphere, but they seem frozen. Don't blame them, I was in a garage this morning and my feet still seem frozen.

      At least with United attacking the Stretford End it might look better on TV.

      1. Nascimento

  11. diesel001

    Willian (31)
    Lukaku (27)
    Hazard (26)

    1. Chucky
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Hazard will get 3 if it stays 1-1

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

        Probably. But would prefer a Hazard goal, Alonso assist

  12. Zilla
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    It's first counter attack goal for Chelsea this season, wow.

    1. Robe Wan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      And what a beaut it was

    2. Optimus.
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Ironic that it comes against a team that can't attack

  13. Syd.
    • 17 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Souness sums up Morata well with that opening comment

    1. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Was it "he's shite"?

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

        "Chelsea would be bossing this game if Morata was involved"

      2. Syd.
        • 17 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Basically that he what he said

  14. Zilla
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Morata proved this season that he is nothing more than a super sub or something, can't be the main striker for a top team.

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

      Needs to go on the training regime that De Gea was put on when he first joined Utd.

    2. Syd.
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      He is a complete wooden one

      Madrid must be pissing themselves at getting £70 million

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

        Chelsea pissing away all the money they make from farming young players.

        Disgusting on so many levels.

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

      He is a super sub. So is Giroud... We need a world class prem striker. Costa springs to mind

  15. LSP
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    I swear when Morata greases his hair, he whinges and falls more often

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

    Hazard is killing me. What a clownn I am. Getting him in on a 2, Game punt for sterling. Enough is enough

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

      For free have 3.9 mil itb

    2. tisza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      fancy him at City?

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

        Yup. Better than mkhi punt and I have a lot of cash and if sterling plays on Thursday have to ship him out

  17. ZeBestee
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    A bit worried at Hazard knee problem he picked up late in the second half. Hopefully he is fine as he has been in amazing form in the past few games. Him and Willian have been a joy to watch as a non Chelsea fan.

  18. Baked baines
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Just seen Bavies has lost 2 bps. Don't understand the system
    Why demote after the match has finished.
    Thought he was the best player in the pitch too

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

      Some deductions are only done when the match is finished.

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

      You should be happy with the 7 points.

    3. Yozzer
      • 8 Years

      Moaning about 7 points 😆

    4. Optimus.

      I must be one of a few who don't give a fook about baps or how they are allocated.. If I get some great, if I don't..ah well I will survive

  19. Stupendous

    City 11

    Bravo; Walker, Kompany, Otamendi, Danilo; Fernandinho, Gundogan, David Silva; Sané, Agüero, De Bruyne.

      No Sterling? On bench?

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

        It was widely assumed he would sit this one out.

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

          *As in rested altogether, not trained at all in last few days but is now injury free. Should be back for Thursday.

    5. Zilla

    2. DV8R

    6. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      1-1 or 2-2. Complete guesswork as I'm not watching and just listening to you chaps.

  22. DV8R
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Is Wilson no longer nailed on now that Defoe is back?

  23. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    assuming this score stays like this, who wins?
    A) Ota + Sterling + 1
    B) Gundo + Sterling

  24. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Morata is crap

  25. Syd.
    • 17 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Willian is some player

    Pity about Morata

  26. Optimus.
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    No Sterling means that I get Shaqiri off the bench 😀

    Finally some luck

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years

      You'll need a big net here, Optimus 😉

    2. Yozzer

      Lol. Think he might play Thursday laddo. 4 days extra for a tight hammy could be fine

    3. Stupendous
      • 13 Years

      I genuinely keep saying an Ota RC would benefit me and people think I'm trolling....
