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.

    Is it stupid to take a minus 8 for the DGW? I am chasing

    OUT: Salah, Firmino, Auba
    IN: Sanchez(C), Kane, Barnes

    1. Duke Silver ☑

      Makes more sense to do it in a DGW.

      1. hspin
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 26 days ago

        Agree, salah firm and auba are no diffs in my league

        1. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 26 days ago

          Ah I see - didn't read this before my comment was written. Maybe, then. -8 is still tough though.

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Sanchez is the only 'differential' you're getting to chase with there. Honestly, having Salah & Auba is -more- of a differential if chasing.

      I'd be tempted to transfer Firmino for a DGW-er. Maybe Auba. A -8 isn't going to help you chase all that much sadly.

  3. Tim

    Erikson or Salah for gw34? On FH

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Eriksen

    2. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      This is what I’m considering. Real tough decision. Mainly just because of how bad Bournmouth are at defending.

    It’s so nice to see Willian play. He is in the same league as Sane imo.

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Can confirm, both in the PL.

      1. hspin

    get Morata off,
    hes trying to murder Alonso with hospital balls

  10. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 26 days ago

    Morata close.. would have been a great goal and hazard assist

  11. tm245
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 26 days ago

    Costa would have had a hell of a season in this setup.

  12. Rainer

      He's an inch too short. I can sympathise 🙁

      You'll do yourself an injury

    Joe Hart is very suspectable to low shots to his left hand side, surely Chelsea players should be looking to do this as much as they can this afternoon

    1. Sylas
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      *susceptible

      1. The Knights Template
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 26 days ago

        suspectable much better

    2. HamezMace
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Chance that to any shots, from anywhere

    3. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      He left is like an packets of Starburst.....

  14. Smurf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 26 days ago

    I’m on free hit.

    Who to go for, Mahrez or Vardy? Mahrez more explosive but Vardy in better form.

    I’ll be having cheap non playing fodder for the other position, either way so no considerations needed from that point of view.

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Vardy if it’s alongside Lukaku and Kane, else Mahrez

      1. Smurf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 26 days ago

        I’ll either have a 5 man midfield with Mahrez and Kane + Lukaku up top.

        Or I’ll have a four man midfield with Vardy up top alongside Kane + Lukaku.

        1. Ha.
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 26 days ago

          Obviously, but depends who the midfield alternative is...

    2. Tim
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      I've gone for both of them

      1. HoldingMeeStones
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 26 days ago

        I'm probably going for Haz,Sanchez,Son,William and Milo (or Gross if I get a cheaper def) in midfield with Kane and Vardy up front.

  15. Ruinenlust
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 26 days ago

    Bad miss from Morata

  16. FPL ZB

    Christensen time running out

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      No CS

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

      Time is up. Better he no shows now

    3. Sylas
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      He ain't running onto the pitch.

  17. HamezMace
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 26 days ago

    Who would you like to see come in to the PL from overseas next season?

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

      Bale

      1. HamezMace
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 26 days ago

        Really? Can’t see who would want him, surely not United, City, or Liverpool

        1. Coaly
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 26 days ago

          Would be good at Chelsea - they could do with a Pedro upgrade

          1. HamezMace
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 26 days ago

            Possible swap for Hazard

    2. Majestic Chanka
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Someone from Eliteserien so I have all the knowledge!

      1. Rash
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 26 days ago

        Lord Bendtner

    3. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Sandro from Juventus

  18. Knowledgeable meerkat
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 26 days ago

    Yet to actually get a willian haul. This isn’t the first time he’s gone on a great run of form in the team, I’ve picked him and he still looks a great option in matches but just isn’t able to get me any points

  19. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 26 days ago

    Willian close

    1. Rik Waller
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      - bps

  20. barracuda
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 26 days ago

    Willie misses the target

  21. Tim
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 26 days ago

    Is the FPL stats site still accurate for prices changes etc?

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Yes, relatively. Wildcards affect the delta so it can be a little off.

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      It's decent. Much harder to predict with free hits, wildcards and double gameweeks.

  22. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 26 days ago

    No CS for Christensen!

    1. Patch
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      The curse should begin soon tho

  23. Ruinenlust
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 26 days ago

    Willian close ...

  24. Zilla
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 26 days ago

    One day Willian will score this hopefully

  25. COLLIN QUANER
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 26 days ago

    Willy needs to go big today.

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

      Have you tried jelqing?

      1. COLLIN QUANER
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 26 days ago

        Nope, can you teach me?

    2. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Big date coming up?

      1. COLLIN QUANER
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 26 days ago

        My lovedoll should be delivered tonight.

      2. Chucky
        • 12 Years

        😀

  26. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 26 days ago

    Who would you trust more with the TC armband in 34?

    Sanchez or Lukaku?

    1. DAZZ
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Any player other than Rom

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 26 days ago

        Hmm I'm thinking this

    2. Ruinenlust
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Lukaku

    3. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Lukaku.....flat track bully so will score well against WBA and Bou

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 26 days ago

        I doubt he’ll get much

  27. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    All 5 of my defenders got 1 point this week 😆

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Only Auba got more than 2pts for me 😀

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Show off!

    3. DAZZ
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Good going that!

    4. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Plenty have 0 or 1 for all 5.

  28. barracuda
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 26 days ago

    Willie's dynamic moves are a joy to watch

    1. Knowledgeable meerkat
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Wrong site

  29. Coaly
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 26 days ago

    a) Auba to Vardy for free
    b) Auba Gross to Kane Cook/Stephens -4

    With a, I would do Vardy Gross to Kane King -4 ready for GW36

  30. Duke Silver ☑
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 26 days ago

    Anyone risking triple captain for GW34?

    1. Salarrivederci
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 26 days ago

      Ye Sanchez - he served me well after I brought him in for GW32.

      Gonna BB in 37.
