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.

  3. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    How is this team for 34 BB keeping in mind no FH for 35?

    * single game 34 ( x 2 so means 13 starts for week 34 double)

    ** play 35 (x 5 - so 3 transfers for -4 will mean 8 for week 35)

    De Gea Ryan
    Alonso Smalling Lowton** Morgan Mustafi* **
    Salah* **Son Mahrez Willian Gudmundsson**
    Lukaku (c) Vardy Barnes**

    8 years, 3 months ago

    Who would you rather have?

    A) Gross vs cpl, TOT

    B) Arnie vs STK

    1. dunas_dog

      Arnie

      1. stat
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Tempted to take an 8 pt hit:

        OUT:
        Gross vs cpl, TOT
        Auba vs new
        Mkhi (injured)

        IN:
        Eriksen vs MCI, bha
        Vardy vs bur, SOU
        Arnie vs STK

        Worth it?

    2. Holmes

      B

    3. The Point About It Is
      • 14 Years

      Lingard

      1. stat
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Can't, already have DDG, Bailly and Lukaku

    4. Karan_G14
      • 10 Years

      Arnie

  5. ZeBestee
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Rp

    Auba 》 Lukaku with the FT worth it?

    Using the TC chip on either Kane or Kaku if i bring him in.

    No FH means i will bring back Auba in GW35 and do like -8 to -12 hit to get 8-9 players.

  6. RashFraud
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Auba out for Kane? Have Kaku and Barnes upfront with

  7. joeydelucchi
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    im chasing in my ML, is it mad to spend -16 on transfers...would mean i put out 13 DGW's though + arnie and robertson .....with BB

    worth a try surely, nothing to lose

        What would you change?

          Forward line for a start.

            • 15 Years

            Sure, but downgrade who to what?

              • 17 Years

              Defence is quite expensive.

              1. WesMantooth
                • 15 Years
                8 years, 3 months ago

                Yup, but just not willing to put stock in Burnley, brighton Soton and LCFC cheapies.

    3. Ziyech on the Bench
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Hazard has lost form...definitely avoid

  9. Karan_G14
    • 10 Years

    Cork + 0.5m or Milivojevic?

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Milivojevic

    2. Holmes

      Mili

  10. Ziyech on the Bench

    8 years, 3 months ago

    Time to sell Hazard:

    A) Hazard, Walcott=> Sanchez, Lingard

    B) Hazard, Walcott => Eriksen, Pogba

    C) any other ideas?

    1. Andy'81
      • 8 Years

      I'm not selling Haz before a DGW.

      1. Ziyech on the Bench
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Chelsea have nothing to play for anymore. FA cup and that’s it. Conte is clearly leaving. Your loss holding their players

  11. TLF
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    A. Lukaku & Gross
    B. Sanchez & Austin-4

    I'm on B currently

  12. Gudjohnsen

    Got Son anf Willian for hits. Just the way my season is going at the moment.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      At least they scored 2 points.

  13. Deulofail
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    1FT to spend before FH in 35.
    What should I spend it on?
    Should I spend it at all?
    Should I take a hit?
    BB active; 0.1 ITB

    DDG Ryan
    Alonso Azpi Lowton Simpson Kiko
    Eriksen Son Mahrez Lingard Young
    Kane Vardy Wood

    - Is there a better 4.4m defender for GW34 than Kiko?
    - Is there any chance Young will get a retro ban?
    - How about a hit for Kane > Kaku and spend the extra to upgrade Young or Lingard?
    - Any better options than Son (Can't get Pogba without a hit to remove another United player)?

    1. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Your team looks good. So either burn FT or Simpson to Morgan (club captain so less likely to be rotated).

      If you do Kane > Kaku and Young or Lingard, you would need to take a hit to get Kane back for GW36 or use both FT to get him back for GW37. Neither are advisable IMO.

      1. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Fair point about Kane. Thanks for your advice. Not sure if Morgan is a better option, since Simpson has more attacking threat and is almost as nailed as well (right?). I'll certainly consider it, as I have very few other ideas haha

    2. Gentle_Turks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Young to Millivojevic?

  14. stat
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Tempted to take an 8 pt hit -

    OUT:
    Gross vs cpl, TOT
    Auba vs new
    Mkhi (injured)

    IN:
    Eriksen vs MCI, bha
    Vardy vs bur, SOU
    Arnie vs STK

    Worth it?

    1. istanbul05
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      On paper yes, but you need to consider your Mkhi replacement before comparing like for like. Presumably you would use your FT to bring someone in with 2 games...

      1. stat
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Well I can't get Lingard because I already have 3 Utd players and I was planning on bringing in Arnie soon anyway

  15. BlzE_94
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    bring in smalling or maguire?

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Maguire. Unless you are personally convinced that Smalling is nailed for the two games in GW34.

  16. bitm2007
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Do transfers made under FH effect a players likelihood of rising or falling in price ?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      If FH is confirmed, no.

      1. bitm2007
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks, so the price prediction sites are likely to be all over the place this GW with FH and WC transfers not counting against price rises and falls.

    Guys... need to beat my rival who is 60 points ahead...

    1. Auba+salah >>> Kane + Pogba/lingard (no hit)
    2. Auba+salah+Mustafi >>> Kane + Pogba/lingard + christensen (-4)
    3. Auba+salah+Mustafi >>> Kane + Lingard + Alonso (-4)
    4. Auba+salah+Son >>> Kane + Sanchez + Cork (-4)

  19. Pirlø's Pen

    Need to lose 1 to enable Kane.

    Son, Willian or Mahrez?

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Son, but it's risky

    2. stat
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Son

    3. Only a Hazard of time
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Willian, Chelsea have lost it

  20. TorresMagic™
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 17 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Lowest average by 8. 😯

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Easiest week ever to get 20 or less

    2. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      I'd be disappointed with 37 points normally, but it's more than respectable this GW !

    1 goal, no assists, no clean sheets, no bonus, 12pt hit 😎

          It's one of those weeks, A well known contributor on here has scored 15 point in the draft league we are both in (despite his 5 free agents not costing a penny).

      Nice

    Repost as no replies:
    BB34 puzzle
    DDG
    Alonso Lowton Vertonghen
    Alli Willian Mahrez Lingard
    Auba Kane Barnes
    Ryan, Gross, Simpson, Dunk
    1 mil ITB

    A) Dunk and Auba to Valancia and Vardy (-4)
    B) Auba to Lukaku

    1. Andy'81
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      If you aren't using a FH chip in 35 than I'd still rather keep Auba over Vardy and Lukaku. I'd potentially role the FT as you already have 10 DGW players which is more than enough.

    2. 1Banksy
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      FH in 35. As you can see looking for maximum 15 DGWers

      1. Andy'81
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Auba to Vardy then for me, bang in form and more likely to play both of the DGW games.

  23. Mikey44
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Is 12 DGW'ers + Salah Mustafi and Dummett worth a Bench Boost?

    1. Coaly
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Yes

    2. Netley Lucas
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Who would be on your bench?

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        😀

        1. Netley Lucas
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          😆 Aye but Salah wouldn't be

    3. El-Kloppico
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Mustafi seems a waste of space now. Have him too

      1. Mikey44
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah might take a hit on him for a DGW'er but I don't have FH so need to keep that in mind

  24. EMERGING STAR
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Wow.. that Mili 10 pointer takes me to 42..this game is 51% luck and 49% analysis

  25. El-Kloppico
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Overall average for this GW?

    1. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      33 I think

      1. El-Kloppico
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Ohh.. thought its much less..
        I am below average then.

    2. Netley Lucas
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      About 28

  26. istanbul05
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Brought in Christensen and Davies on WC, will probably stick for the DGW...

    Anyone played around with a GW35 FH team yet? Here's mine:

    Karius, 3.9,
    Walker, Mustafi, Lowton, Kiko, 3.9,
    Salah, Mane, Sterling, Zaha, King,
    Kun, Auba, Tosun.

  27. stat
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Who scores more pts?

    A) Milivojevic vs BHA, Kane vs MCI+bha, Gross vs cpl+TOT -4
    B) Arnautovic vs STK, Eriksen vs MCI+bha, Vardy vs bur+SOU -8

    1. 1Banksy
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Got to side for the option with Kane

  28. LIARS POKER
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Best move to get Kane in?

    A) Auba, Son -> Kane, Lingard
    B) Auba, Mahrez -> Kane, Willian

    B would mean triple Spurs attack and I own Vardy so will still have Leicester

  29. Dacra
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Thoughts on best moves here?

    DDG - Ryan
    Alonso - Monreal - Lowton - Morgan - Smalling
    Son - Willian - Mahrez - Gross - Salah
    Barnes - Vardy - Lukaku

    2xft
    0.9itb

    Considering Salah + Monreal to Hazard (c) + Vertonghen for double 34, is that crazy?

    Chasing in league and lying around 90k rank, differential haz c seems like it could work or go badly wrong..

    Could just get Alli or Eriksen instead?

  30. Colonel Shoe 肝池
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    1-1 literally the worse result 🙁

    what a week
