After Arsenal edged past Southampton at the Emirates, the curtain comes down on Gameweek 33 as Chelsea welcome West Ham United to Stamford Bridge.

At home to a defence that’s conceded 11 goals in their last three road trips, Antonio Conte’s side could emerge as big armband differentials this afternoon.

Alvaro Morata and Eden Hazard are among the top 11 captains for GW33, yet both have been handed the armband by less than 2% of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) matches.

Meanwhile, the in-demand Willian is named on the teamsheet for the fifth successive Gameweek. The most bought midfielder (178,000+) for Gameweek 33, the Brazilian has served up four goals and three assists in his last seven league starts.

At the back, however, Andreas Christensen’s run of five straight starts comes to an end ahead of Double Gameweek 34 as Gary Cahill replaces the young Dane on the teamsheet.

For the visitors, Marko Arnautovic leads the line again on the back of his two-goal haul against Southampton last week.

The Austrian has form against Conte’s side, having netted the winner in a 1-0 victory over Chelsea back in Gameweek 16.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Hazard, Willian and Christensen owner here. Could do with a 4-1 Chelsea win with no Alonso involvement.

    1. Gentle_Turks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Is Christensen in doubt now for both DGW34 games?

      1. Collie01
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 26 days ago

        I hope this will be his turn to be rotated and he will be ok for the DGW, but who knows. He usually plays when fit.

        1. Gentle_Turks
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 26 days ago

          Cheers. Fingers crossed.

    2. diesel001

      Us Christensen owners need a West Ham win. Wholesale changes for the next game.

      1. Gentle_Turks
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 26 days ago

        Wholesale changes?

        1. diesel001
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 26 days ago

          Alonso, Moses, Fabregas, Cahill / Rudiger, Morata, Willian would all go if Chelsea lose today.

          Courtois, Azpi, Christensen, Rudiger, Zappacosta, Emerson, Drinkwater, Kante, Pedro, Hazard, Giroud

  12. seewhyaxe

      8 years, 26 days ago

      Sorry bud, a blank for:

      Alonso
      Hazard
      Morata

      However rest assured Willian masterclass underway shortly

  14. seanie3
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 26 days ago

    Anyone else think o god downgrading mahrez to alonso for the dgw and generate funds for Kane or Sanchez. Not much in the difference between them lately points wise and isn't vardy on pens!

    the good: I took Cedric over Stephens on my wc.

    Griezmann has been playing too much Fortnite lately.

    1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      • 9 Years

      Heh

  19. DeadStarComing

    Saints may appeal Stephens red I guess. A good argument would be Maguire only getting a yellow for the same thing yesterday.

    1. Third Eye Vision
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Your understanding of what constitutes a ‘good argument’ to an appeals panel is a little shaky.

      1. DeadStarComing
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 26 days ago

        With what goes on these days it wasn't always going to warrant a red. A lot worse happens that doesn't end in a dismissal.

  20. semiconductor
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 26 days ago

    A west ham goal would be great

  21. Duffy Dunk
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 26 days ago

    I want Alonso to score, then Courtois to get sent off fouling someone in the penalty area and Alonso to save that pen.

  22. FPLzebub

    Rival getting Milivojevic, Van Dijk and Smalling off the bench. FML.

    To be able to do Auba > Kane which transfers:

    A- mustafi + alonso > chillwell + christensen (for -4)
    B- mustafi + alonso + kenedy >chillwell + christensen+ gudmundsson (for -8)
    C- mustafi + son + kenedy > lingard + izquierdo + chilwell (for - 8)
    D- mustafi + son + kenedy > Albrighton + gudmundsson + smalling (for -8)
