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.

    Commentator just said Christiansen is out because of fatigue.

    1. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Thought he only played 57mins a game max?

    2. Zilla
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Isn't he on the bench?

    3. Sim Simma

      His missus is to blame

        Amazing that Scandinavia produce so many good footballers given how hot their wives are.

    4. Ha.

      Could do with him having a Berocca and making a cameo

      I'm not going into work tomorrow too - suffering from fatigue

    Masuaku + Arnautovic = Azpilicueta + Morata
    But a cheaper duo 😀

    Chelsea will keep a clean sheet here

    1. diesel001

      Positive statement of hope

    2. HamezMace
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      I respectfully disagree, did you see how exposed the back line was for the Arnie chance, that was just a simple cross

  4. Point-one short
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    0% chance of a Chelsea CS here.

    Am I forgiven yet for merely passing on news I saw posted on a separate site?
    Apologies for any upset caused 🙁

      Let it go Scotty. It's a separate site for a reason.

      1. Deulofail

        What does that mean? Sounds deep, bro.

      If you post a link it's fine

      A bit of advice for you to take or leave but you would probably get more love if you gave advice as opposed to just multiple RMT and questions and maybe say the odd thanks to people who take time out to answer you .

      This particular incident is irrelevant and no damage done. There is a lot worse that goes on unpunished here so I wouldn't care too much

  6. jimmy.floyd

    1) Auba to Kaku
    2) Bavies Firmino to Lowton Kaku (-4)
    3) Bavies Firmino to Lowton Kane (-4)
    4) Bavies Auba to Lowton Kane (-4)

    Have Son and Salah, no FH or WC
    GW35 players atm are: Firm, Auba, Salah, Tarroll, VVD, Tomkins

    Thanks.

  9. sunzip14

    May be an unpopular thing to ask now, but need Chelsea to concede for Christensen's security of starts next gw

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      This

    2. Sylas
      • 10 Years

      Okay

    3. HamezMace
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Don’t think managers in real life respond like that, defending is done as a team unit

  10. Les Bleus
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Chelsea might keep a CS

    Getting rid of Stephens, Salah, Auba and Kenedy for a -8 feels so wrong but is probably the sensible move. Need Harold.

      I'm avoiding Harold

      Playing at left forward as usual.

      It's actually a joke that he's labelled a defender.

      Oi Oi!

      Consistency is his main issue. José will be after him this summer, although they're not really in need of -more- wingers in all honesty.
