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

    7m midfielder that gives you clean sheet points, they said.

    the 7m can really be useful elsewhere... 🙁

    He's definitely first on my list to go out after dgw34, bye Alonso (gw 25 - gw 34)

    1. Homo Neanderthalensis
      • 12 Years

      Joe -Cannot Make A Save For His Life- Hart somehow pulled out a corked to stop an Alonso goal. Apart from that, that's about it...

      Wenger is a dick. Why did he take Auba off?!

      1. Viper
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 26 days ago

        Saving him for the crucial away game vs. Newcastle next week of course

    10. Viper
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      I have the exact funds for this:

      Aubameyang, Mustafi & Willian - > Kane, Verthongen & Lingard (-4)

      Has to be done tonight though. Too risky with Salah still a doubt?

      1. Homo Neanderthalensis
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 26 days ago

        Urgh. I don’t like that.

        1. Viper
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 26 days ago

          Which part in particular?

          1. Homo Neanderthalensis
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 26 days ago

            Removal of Aubameyang and Willian for a start.

            Easier to ask me which bit I like... Kane incoming. That’s the only good I see in that transfer lol

      2. diesel001

        8 years, 26 days ago

        I won't wanna push willian out yet. He's a double double.
        Gunners away form is crap....
        Can u keep willian?

        1. Viper
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 26 days ago

          Yes

          1. Viper
            • 16 Years
            8 years, 26 days ago

            Can't get Verthongen then though

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

              Forget him

    11. Syd.
      • 16 Years

      Arsenal could catch Chelsea for 5th spot

    13. Gonna mesut up
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Seeing as I am too lazy to understand the bps system properly, is there any chance someone can tell whether iwobi will drop behind auba?

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

        Nope

      2. Gonna mesut up
        • 12 Years

        ok, was worth a shot

    14. barton fc
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      i think of ditching both willian and alonso ahead of 34. is this knee jerk or is it time to give up on chelsea players?

    15. Stoic
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Didn't think Arnie will match my Haz + Alonso + Wilian points.

    16. THFC4LIFE
