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.

    Pedro should never be subbed in for Willian and should be permanently on the bench (I may own Willian).

      Yes, but the week you get rid of him.........

      1. diesel001

        I got rid of him weeks ago and he has done nothing. Got rid of him when he has Man Utd. Since then he has scored 8 pts in 5 GWs. Got in Aurier who has done much better.

    Paydro

    1. Deulofail

      English 'ay' is a diphthong (i.e. a glide from one vowel sound to another). The 'e' in Pedro is a monophthong (i.e. a short vowel).

      But yeah, to our ears, 'Paydro' is closer to Spanish 'Pedro' than English 'Pedro', enough though English 'Pedro' has a more appropriate vowel length.

      🙂

    Conte just wants the dosh before he goes back to Italy.

    1. BIGREDDOG
      • 9 Years

    It’s fine, Alonso is saving it all up for the doubles.

    *knees clutched to chest, rocking back and forth in the corner*

    So Willian blanking wins me a vital H2H

  16. tm245
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    That was disappointing.

  17. JohnnyMagrinho
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Yeah, looks like Chelsea are really going to catch Liverpool now.

    I'm sure Salah and co. are quaking.

  18. Runaway
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Ok another blank from Alonso and Willian but keeping both for sure

      Willian had a great game. Unlucky to get nothing. Hazard absolutely awful

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

          He gave the ball away over and over and over and over...
          dribbling into deadends

  19. Smurf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Mustafi, Alonso and Auba (c). I really did expect better than 15 points, before the games started.

  20. FCSB
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    that feeling when mili comes off your bench for christensen...

  21. SuperMane Returns
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    25 all out for me (29-4) .....12 from Auba - Pathetic. Massive red arrow here we come.

    1. Nomar
      • 16 Years

      Good score this week.

  22. Rash
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    1. FPL.team
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      You are as rash as your name suggests.

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

        I said last week if Chelsea were trash this week I'd sell so it's not quite a knee-jerk

  23. pol

    Best transfer for DGW:

    A- Mustafi son kenedy auba> Smalling gudmundsson albrighton kane (for -8)
    B- Mustafi son kenedy auba > Smalling gross cork kane (for -8)
    C- Mustafi son auba > Smalling gross kane (for -4)

  24. Rainer

    Brilliant result for Liverpool.

    More rotation now for BOU after what should be a draining game on Tuesday!

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

      Klopp will park the bus.

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

    Willian is hardly at risk to Pedro.

  26. Mika-eel
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Brutal gameweek. Atleast I won my H2H. Have to look for positives.

  27. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Arnie 1 bap?

  28. Rik Waller
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    That will go down as the most frustrating game of the season then.

  29. Cookie Kid
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    36 points

    1. Nomar
      • 16 Years
