Double Gameweek 23 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) gets underway at the London Stadium, where Chelsea are West Ham United’s visitors.

Kick-off is at 12:30 GMT.

Reece James is the only player on show with a double-digit ownership in FPL but among ‘active’ teams, this match is all about Kepa Arrizabalaga: the in-form goalkeeper is owned by 55.88% of the top 10k, by way of example.

As for the team news, Mason Mount is benched for the first time in the Premier League since Graham Potter took over.

The England international is one of three players who makes way from the side that drew 0-0 with Fulham, with Conor Gallagher and Hakim Ziyech also having to be content with places among the substitutes.

New signing Noni Madueke makes his first start since joining the Blues in the January transfer window, while fellow winter recruit Joao Felix returns from suspension to take his place in the Chelsea attack.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek also makes his first start since before the World Cup, while Mykhailo Mudryk keeps his place on the left flank.

West Ham boss David Moyes names an unchanged side from the 1-1 draw with Newcastle United, with defender Thilo Kehrer shaking off an injury to make the starting XI.

GAMEWEEK 23 LINE-UPS

West Ham United XI: Fabianski, Kehrer, Ogbonna, Aguerd, Coufal, Lucas Paqueta, Rice, Emerson Palmieri, Bowen, Benrahma, Antonio.

Subs: Johnson, Fornals, Lanzini, Downes, Ings, Soucek, Hegyi, Anang.

Chelsea XI: Arrizabalaga, James, Thiago Silva, Badiashile, Cucurella, Loftus-Cheek, Fernandez, Madueke, Joao Felix, Mudryk, Havertz.

Subs: Bettinelli, Chalobah, Mount, Chilwell, Ziyech, Gallagher, Datro Fofana, Azpilicueta, Chukwuemeka.

    Holy f**k... 12min in and WH are just walking around doing nothing it seems, very lackluster so far.

    1. Hazz

      You've seen them play this seasons right?

      1. JBG
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 24 days ago

        I try not to, because of this.

    2. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 24 days ago

      All Kepa owners. Will be limiting themselves to 35 yard pea rollers to build up his save points. WH also notoriously bad at penalties.

    Kepa non owners trying to jinx the CS

    WHU creative player off

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 24 days ago

      Soucek could give us more issues anyway.

    A bit of throwback question for all of you who played fpl pre-2018: how was diego costa at chelsea as an asset? Any good or was he like too expensive for the returns he gave?

    1. The Sociologist
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 24 days ago

      Consistent! Didn’t get much bonus I don’t think? But would tick over with 5s and 6s more often than not

    2. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 24 days ago

      Constant 5 points. Goal + yc + 0 baps.

      Plus comedy injured but then not injured after all and scored a hattrick if I remember right.

    3. Hooky
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 24 days ago

      Not great. Always fouling and booked most games and didn't get much bonus as a result.

  5. Ze_Austin

    Paqueta off with a shoulder injury, Soucek on

    Not great for the Hammers attack. Paqueta had been good recently

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 24 days ago

      ...and now Bowen's down

      1. Ze_Austin

    1. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 24 days ago

      Amazing what a third of a billion quid can do.

    2. JBG
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 24 days ago

      WH helping them look good.. this has to be the worse I've seen from a home team in a long while.

      1. Zimo
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 24 days ago

        Good for Kane owners next week

  16. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 24 days ago

    Beautiful cross

  17. Ruinenlust
    • 8 Years

    Boehly loved that one

  18. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 24 days ago

    Kerching! $$$$

  19. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 24 days ago

    €900m spending finally justified

  20. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 24 days ago

    Some of these Chelsea attackers could be big differentials in the coming weeks - team looks great on paper and now starting to pass the eye test too

  21. Tshelby
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 24 days ago

    Chelsea players back on the radar!

  22. romperstomper
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 24 days ago

    are west ham not supposed to be strong at home? they don't look up for this at all

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 24 days ago

      1 point above the relegation zone

  23. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 24 days ago

    Sadly having a forward who can finish is bad for Kepa bonus 😆

  24. Coupes
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 24 days ago

    how much is Felix

    1. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 24 days ago

      No way of knowing

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 24 days ago

      7.5m

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 24 days ago

      Could be an ideal Nketiah replacement when Jesus returns

  25. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 24 days ago

    Felix is class. He’ll be at least £100m in the summer.

    Will they be allowed to buy anymore players or spend another £600m this summer

    1. Hooky
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 24 days ago

      20 year contract incoming

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 24 days ago

      If he performs well in this stint (I hope he does) - I'm sure we'll be all in to buy him.

    3. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 24 days ago

      No. It’s no longer allowed.

    4. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 24 days ago

      Sad that an Arsenal fan spends more time slagging off Chelsea than supporting his own team. Not much of a supporter .

  26. Pino
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 24 days ago

    Enzo looks class

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 24 days ago

      Yeah really does.

    2. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 24 days ago

      Ferrari's always are.

  27. Silecro
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 24 days ago

    Madueke with great dribbling skills and taking 1 on 1, looking good on right wing

  28. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 24 days ago

    Enzo is ridiculous!

  29. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 24 days ago

    Havertz goal disallowed

    Mudryk assist denied
