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.

    Christensen better stay glued on that bench or else he might block my juicy smalling's 7 pointer

    FPL tweeted 4 people triple captained Welbeck today. Where are these people when I’m asking for WC advice?!

        FPL should ban those multi team cheaters instead of giving them attention.

          • 11 Years
          8 years, 26 days ago

          Ha, even if I had twenty teams, not one of them would include Welbeck.

        3. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 26 days ago

          Agree 100%. I hate how they're so lax on multi teaming.

    3. DAZZ

      Imagine Christensen actually comes on before the 30minute mark again, the man is cursed!

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

        He would come on after 31 mins just to troll owners.

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

          After 33mins

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

            It counts for 90 mins without added time.

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

              I was implying another 57min appearance. Ultimate troll if that happened.

    5. mojoindojo
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      5.8 non-leicster dgw defender?

      Had Christensen but not nailed.

      1. Dacra
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 26 days ago

        Vertonghen (I'm getting him for Monreal)

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

        Rudiger was the obvious choice if you had 5.8m

        1. mojoindojo
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 26 days ago

          But is he nailed?

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

            Yes. Luiz injured. Cahill / Christensen vying for the other spot. Azpi also nailed

    6. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Sanchez triple (C) anyone?

    7. In Carrick we trust
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Pick 1

      A. Kane, lukaku, welbeck
      B. Kane, Aubameyang, vardy

      1. DAZZ
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 26 days ago

        Would you consider welbeck if he scored 1 point today?

      2. We Will Klopp you
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 26 days ago

        B

      3. Debauchy

      Conte is such a troll, Morata, Hazard and now Christensen another member of the Rotation wheel of fortune, 3 times this season Conte has dropped a player that ive brought in 🙁

      1. HamezMace
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 26 days ago

        Obviously he cares about your FPL team as much as he cares about Chelsea.

    10. Mysterion
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Did Austin even look fit enough to play 90 mins in the dgw?

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

        No.

        1. Dead Lift
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 26 days ago

          No fitness. Just scored in his first touch.

      2. Jimmers
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years

      3. Colonel Shoe 肝池
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 26 days ago

        No.... The question is whether 45 mins over 2 games is enough

      4. Zilla
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 26 days ago

        Looked knackered.

      This week has proven to be the highest % of luck I've seen this year. So many sensible options blanking and left-field options scoring.

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

        Pffft. This game is largely about luck. We have to suck it up.

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

          True. But this week more than most I feel.

      2. Colonel Shoe 肝池

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