The final fixture of Gameweek 9 sees us pay visit to Stamford Bridge, where Chelsea entertain former manager Jose Mourinho and Man United at 4pm.

The home side have chalked up two straight wins and clean sheets since Antonio Conte switched to a 3-4-3 formation, defeating Hull and Leicester in consecutive Premier League fixtures.

Diego Costa is the Blues’ main threat, having scored or assisted in seven of the Blues’ first eight fixtures.

The Spain international sits just one booking short of a single-match suspension, though it’s worth noting that a caution today would see him sit out the midweek EFL Cup clash with West Ham and free him up to face Southampton in Gameweek 10.

Those who have held onto Zlatan Ibrahimovic will be hoping for signs of a return to form, bearing in mind the Reds then host Burnley next weekend.

The Swede – who is the second most-captained player for Gameweek 9 – has plummeted in price to 11.3 after scoring just one goal in his previous six league outings.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

      9 years, 2 months ago

      Best keeper in the world they said. :p

      :Slides Valencia under the rug:

  18. The Big Fella
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Firmino seems the obvious choice but he isn't actually scoring. Mane is too expensive. I am thinking Coutinho. Thoughts?

  19. Hibbo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 2 months ago

    Mourinho's some manager.

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Bus broke down on the way.. Had to do with Smalling, but he's too small for it!

    It's amazing how well the hate for one person can act as a motivational tool.

    I hope Jose can find some motivation for us before this gets really embarrassing. 🙁

  21. ★Kuntheman★

    Chelsea are legit whipping them

  22. itwaswritten

    Wonder who will Special Gone blame for this game? It's harder to pick who is worser, him or the team.

    1. Wurstmuncher
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      It's definitely rooney's fault

    2. devils advocate
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      Who are you going to blame for your terrible spelling and grammar? 🙂

      Heads up, 'worser' is a word that only exists in your own mind. 😉

    Utd getting spanked here...........

  24. Steevo

    Cech
    Valencia Baines* Holebas
    Son Sterling Sanchez Firmino Allen
    Costa Aguero

    Jaku Diamonde Evans Amat

    1FT

    A) Baines -> Coleman/Vertonghen/Clyne (FT)
    B) Aguero, Diamonde -> Lukaku, Deeney AOA (-4)

    A is probably more sensible?

    1. ZimZalabim
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 2 months ago

      A fr sure probably clyne or vert

      Tbf, Conte was an import for this season, not Mou.
