Marcos Alonso (£6.4m) misses out on a place in the Chelsea starting XI for the second Gameweek in a row this weekend.

That’s the first time he has not played a single minute in back-to-back Gameweeks all season.

In his place is Emerson Palmieri (£5.2m) who makes his second start in a row, having played all 90 minutes against Fulham in Gameweek 29.

Joining the Italian in Chelsea’s back-line is the usual suspects of David Luiz (£5.9m), returning after a Gameweek 29 benching, Antonio Rüdiger (£5.9m) and Cesar Azpilicueta (£6.3m).

With Eden Hazard (£10.8m) and Gonzalo Higuaín (£9.6m) coming back into the side following a rest in the Europa League, they are joined in the front three by Pedro (£6.3m).

The key Wolves assets are all in the starting line-up with Matt Doherty (£5.4m) restored to the starting line-up on the flanks of midfield.

Raúl Jiménez (£6.8m) and Diogo Jota (£6.1m) lead the two-man attack while Rui Patricio (£4.5m) reclaims the goalkeeper jersey from John Ruddy (£4.2m).

As Ryan Bennett (£4.2m) serves the first of a two-match suspension, Romain Saïss (£4.2m) fills in for him at centre-back.

Chelsea XI: Kepa; Emerson, Rüdiger, D Luiz, Azpiliceuta; Kovacic, Jorginho, Kante; Hazard, Higuaín, Pedro.

Wolves XI: Patricio; Boly, Coady, Saïss; Jonny, Neves, Moutinho, Dendoncker, Doherty; Jota, Jiménez.

    Wilson or Higuain for next week?

      I’d probably get Wilson, Newcastle without Schär and maybe Lascelles.

    Not sure whether to go Hazard or in the blanks or just go for say Azpi and 442 instead.
    Thoughts?

    I give up, dropped from 30k to 70k with the below team and can't see anything wrong with it!?

    Ryan Boruc
    TAA Pereira Kola Keane Jonny
    Salah Hazard Pogba Son Westwood
    Aguero Jimenez Rondon

    1. DandyDon
      • 7 Years

      No Mane or Sterling like me. Not to mention Vardy, Fraser etc. At least you had rondon

      1. WVA
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Got Salah over Mane, Aguero over Sterling, Pereira over Vardy and have been waiting on Wilson's return for bgw31, all down to luck basically.

    Is the free hot chip a one off or can you make unlimited changes for the week?

    1. tricpic
      • 16 Years

          2. MTPockets
              7 years, 1 month ago

              Clearly an underestimate

        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        1. DandyDon
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          A little maybe just Wilson presuming brooks is fit

          1. g40steve
            • 8 Years

            Cheers,

        Anyone going without Salah for 31?

        1. g40steve
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Thinking punishment may be severe?

        Any of you had do the scouting work on west ham?
        Is there any nailed attackers against hudd? The return of Nasri and Lanzini really brings a lot of uncertainties to the line up.

      • jtreble
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Doherty is a lucky boy. That’s a borderline Red.

      • Bubz
        • 12 Years

        1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Sold him at 7.1m, after having from GW2 at 6.5, one of my only good decisions this year

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years

        Get Doc off. CS confirmed and Jimi scores a brace

      • Champ
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Given his (still good) price, fixtures, form, Wilson's return and playing the blanks seems no brainer to bring in Fraser surely

      • The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago
