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.

    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

    Best bit of luck I've had this week. Stephens as third sub.

    1. Stimps
      • 13 Years

      Snap, which also dents my Kane plan. Will have to do without him

      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...

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      brag

  22. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 16 Years

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

    1. Viper
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

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

  23. Viper
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 3 months 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, 3 months ago

      Urgh. I don’t like that.

      1. Viper
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Which part in particular?

        1. Homo Neanderthalensis
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 3 months 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
      • 9 Years

      Like it

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

        Yes

        1. Viper
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Can't get Verthongen then though

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

            Forget him

  24. Syd.
    • 17 Years

    Arsenal could catch Chelsea for 5th spot

    1. Squashed
      • 9 Years

  25. Coaly
    • 13 Years

  26. Gonna mesut up
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 3 months 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, 3 months ago

      Nope

    2. Gonna mesut up
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      ok, was worth a shot

  27. barton fc
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 3 months 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?

  28. Stoic
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

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

  29. THFC4LIFE

      8 years, 3 months ago

      31 all out.

      Pretty much on Top 10k average so I am happy enough. Everyone done crap (see the GW averages) so not really a critical week in the grand scheme of things.

    6. Hazz

      8 years, 3 months ago

      Looks like people haven't done as badly as it sounds like from all the comments. Though of course some people keep their poor scores quiet (though complain at the same time? lol) .

    11. Point-one short
      • 9 Years
