Pre-Season

A whole host of Chelsea players have been added to the Fantasy Premier League price list.

Strikers Tammy Abraham and Michy Batshuayi have both been involved heavily in the Blues’ pre-season campaign and Fantasy managers have been eagerly anticipating their price reveals.

With Olivier Giroud at £7.0m, the price makers at FPL towers have ensured there is no way of comparing Chelsea forwards on cost by bringing both Abraham and Batshuayi in at £7.0m as well.

It is still unclear which of the three centre-forwards is the standout forward for Chelsea thus far so Fantasy managers should keep tracking their minutes on the Pre-season Page.

Meanwhile, FPL have also announced three more Chelsea players in Mason Mount (£6.0m), Kenedy (£5.5m) and Kurt Zouma (£5.0m).

The future of the latter remains up in the air with Everton hoping to bring him back to Goodison Park after an impressive spell in 2018/19.

We recently published a Members’ article on Zouma’s importance to the Toffees which you can READ HERE.

Whether the £5.0m proves a price worth paying may depend on which he club he ends up comitting too.

If he returns to Everton then he will be much more assured of a start than he would be at Stamford Bridge.

Other additions include Aston Villa right-back Frederic Guilbert (£4.5m) and Liverpool forward Rhian Brewster (£4.5m).

    Really need a couple of games to assess Chelsea assests. Given everyone is 7m or under it should be easy to get them in if someone emerges.

    Is Moura a good pick at all?

    1. Andy_Social
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Potentially for one week only. GW2 is City away and GW3 Son is back.

      1. Moderately content penguin
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        This. Seems an expensive use of an early transfer to me.

  3. Joga Bonito®
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Brewster at 4.5.

    If he looks like he’s going to start the season he could be a steal but I want Salah, VVD and TAA.

    Decisions

    1. Andy_Social
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      That's the thing. It would be a waste of a precious Liverpool spot. Easier with Greenwood or Nketiah as you're unlikely to want to triple up with their clubs.

      1. Joga Bonito®
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Agreed. If he looks like the real deal though and gets a good run of games he’ll be impossible to ignore. Like Sterling a few years ago.

      2. NeverGunOwen
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        As a Man U fan, that stings

        1. Andy_Social
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Have you tripled up?

          1. Amey
            • 7 Years

            Has anyone not ??
            😀

            1. NeverGunOwen
              • 13 Years
              7 years, 1 month ago

              This should be the question

  4. Pep's Money Laundry
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Mason Mount seems a bit expensive at £6m

    1. Pep Pig
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I disagree mate. I think he's going to prove to be great value

  5. Me Spurs
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Zouma could be great at 5 if stays at Chelsea

    1. Pep Pig
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I disagree mate. I think he's going to prove to be great value

      1. Pep Pig
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Woops that was for the Mason Mount comment above. I actually agree with your comment 😀

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      He's good enough to start for them.

      But I guess when Rudiger is back he could be a risk.

      1. Moderately content penguin
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Then there’s Christensen too. I’d understood he was the more natural Rudiger replacement

    3. Me Spurs
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Anyone know when Rüdiger due back? Mount at 6 would be straight in my side if he looks nailed

  6. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    That Zouma price could be a game changer.

    1. Andy_Social
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Yes. I've put him and Mount into my draft. Everton can go leak goals now 😉

      1. Longiss
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Interested in Mount even at 6.0?

        1. Andy_Social
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Yes I am.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Can you put some words on Mount?

  7. golden skulltula 69

    Hi everyone, RMT with Salah, Sterling and Kane:

    Ryan, Button
    Digne, TAA, Zinchenko, Diop, Kelly
    Salah, Sterling, Zaha, Perez, Dendoncker
    King, Kane, Greenwood

    Thanks a lot!

    1. adamtheyido
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I like it. But I'd think about downgrading Digne to Coleman and do Diop and Kelly to 2 rotating 4.5s. Otherwise your going to have no playing subs

      1. golden skulltula 69
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Yes but I assume Kelly will play..

        Good idea, maybe I could drop Kelly to Taylor..

        Thank you..

        1. MosF94
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          I don't think Kelly will play that much - 3rd choice centre-back (possibly 4th, behind Dann) and will probably be behind Ward in the pecking-order at right-back

          1. golden skulltula 69
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Ok, thank you!

  8. Yossi

    Hi guys, can this team be improved in any way 🙂 ?

    Ryan

    Maguire, Robbo, VVD

    De Bruyne, Salah, Pulisic, Perez, Mount

    Kane, King

    Button, Kelly, Dunk, Greenwood

    Thanks in advance!

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Why Mount? Barkley has looked pretty good so far.

      1. Pep Pig
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        The Super Cup might help us with that one but I think he's done himself no harm at all in these friendlies so far. Obvious Lamps likes him and I think he's going to be his golden boy. He looks the real deal

        1. Piggs Boson
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          The Super Cup is between GWs 1 & 2, so won't help picking a starting team.

          I'll keep an eye on him, but seems too much of a gamble tbh.

      2. Yossi
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I've got a good feeling about it 🙂

        Think Mount will be first choice in the 10 honestly.

  9. anish10
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone think VVD is worth the extra 1 mill over Gomez if he secures a spot at CB?

    1. Joga Bonito®
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I’ll potentially look to downgrade if either of him and Matip look nailed. Could be a good cash cow for any midfielders that hit ford and require a bit of extra cash.

    2. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Vvd will play virtually every game and will probably score 5-6 goals.

      Btw matip is ahead of gomez at this moment

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

        of all centrehalfs in the league only bamba exceeded 4xg, vvd was 3.5

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Great stat

          I remember VVD was literally ridiculed as an FPL pick here as recently as December

          His assist for Origi s bizarre goal in the Derby was his second attacking return in two & half years of FPL at that point

      2. EMBOLOFAN
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        agree about matip

        1. Andy_Social
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          I do. He's the captain and undroppable, and likes a goal or two.
          Matip will rotate with Gomez.

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

            dont think he'll rotate CBs much, matips spot to lose imo

  10. KadMan
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Is Zouma ahead of Christensen in the pecking order? At 5.0, he's tempting.

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      So many potential bargains at chelsea

      Alas they have the football management equivalent of a toddler in charge

    2. EMBOLOFAN
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      agree

    3. The Overthinker
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Going by Lampard's comment , I guess he'll be the one

      1. Andy_Social
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I believe he is. The next question is will he be ahead of Rutiger when he's back?

  11. Optic1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    The tinkering continues.... I'm happy to have found a way to fit in Wilson over King in this one. Thoughts?

    Ryan
    Robertson TAA Digne Zichenko
    Salah Sterling Perez Fraser
    Jota Wilson

    4.0 Dendoncker Kelly Wickham

    Cheers all

      Template. Good side.

  12. El Lobito 10

    DDG
    Digne Coleman TAA Robbo
    Salah KdB TheSig Fraser
    Wilson Deulofeu

    Thoughts gents?

    1. El Lobito 10

      (tumbleweed) anyone? 😀

    2. FPLGyarados

      Similar to mine since today. I like it.

  13. Andy_Social

    WHERE'S TUANZEBE???

    1. El Lobito 10
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Australia I think

    2. jason_ni
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      If he had been priced before pre season he would have been 4.5 100%, now likely to be 5.0 minimum

  14. N00B
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    I heard Guilbert is pretty atacking. A good punt for 4.5.

    1. Ramboros
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      His card statistic is a bit worrying. 23 yellow cards and 1 red the past 2 seasons.

  15. JELLYFISH
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Guilbert is an excellent pick for anyone fancying a flutter on a Villa defender. Been the pick of our defenders in pre-season and will likely play ahead of Elmo on the right

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Think your team will get many clean sheets?

      1. JELLYFISH
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Unlikely against Spurs, but we've got a good run of fixtures after GW1 (esp at home) so I reckon a couple of the Villa DF's offer decent value at 4.5m. The Villa DF valuations expose very poor valuation strategy in the FPL this season though.....they are all priced at 4.5m!

    Off topic but congratulation on UK new PM.

    1. Andy_Social
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      The dirty lying b******d is simply Trump-lite. Utter disaster for the country.

    2. HamezMace
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Unsure if genuine, or banter?

      1. adamtheyido
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Got to be banter. Who could possibly look at or listen to him and say congratulations on your new leader...?

        1. Andy_Social
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Trump did, and his mistress - er, daughter.

    3. EMBOLOFAN
      • 8 Years

      thank you

      Hey Boris, you're playing FPL ?

    5. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Boris is, to put in in local parlance, a nutter

    6. Andy'81
      • 8 Years

      God emperor Lite, fun times ahead, looking forward to it.

  17. the Penman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Give Chelsea 2 games (Manu / Lei) then reassess.

    1. HamezMace
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      It'll be too late by then though.
      Also I don't see either of those games as unwinnable for Chelsea.

  18. megatron14
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    6M for Mount is mental

    1. ★Kuntheman★
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I think it's about right if you consider the other Chelsea prices. Him being the same price as Barkley makes sense.

    2. sirmorbach
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Were he .5 less he would most definitely be in my team.

  19. JELLYFISH
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Whats peoples thoughts on Haller? Heard good things....

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

      .5 too expensive to risk from gw1

      if he looks good get him in

      1. JELLYFISH
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Yes one to watch for sure

    2. BIind Moth
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I think he will be the best new signing this season (In terms of FPL)

      Very consistent stats since 2014 in the Eredivisie and Bundesliga. I know people will question whether he can do it in the Prem, but he looks made for it. The big question for me is will he get the service.

    3. lugs
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      i have him, he's a punt at this stage but West Ham's fixtures after the City game are too good to ignore

  20. Galza
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Decent.
    I reckon he’ll be one of those players that will be in my team at some point in the season. Just not from the start...

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

      Jellyfish

      1. JELLYFISH
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Guilbert and Mings are the ones to watch

  21. Barca_Rover
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Do Kelly and Wickham start for Palace ? If yes , that will solve a lot of headaches !!!!

    1. HamezMace
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Currently they probably would, but signing expected in those positions.

      ...even if Wickham was a starter, I'm not sure it solves a headache.

      1. Barca_Rover
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks. Solves headache in the sense it frees up cash for other positions and the 4.0 and 4.5 guys are not just fodders

      2. Moderately content penguin
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Next to certain Wickham won’t start. He’s still being run in. Might become a factor by October November. He could be handy.

    2. Moderately content penguin
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Kelly is possible stand in at CB - Wickham won’t start but might get minutes off the bench.

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

        whats back 4 as it stands?

  22. El Lobito 10
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    United defence will revert to type after a shocker last year. DDG and AWB will be big players in fantasy, both at 5.5, great prices

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

      shaw more attacking than awb surely

      1. El Lobito 10
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        If he changes. He doesn't really attack much, or didn't last season. He gets to the final third and stands there.

        1. MosF94
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          According to Understat, Shaw had the second highest xA of all defenders over the last 10 games of the season - behind TAA, but (very slightly) ahead of Robbo

  23. onceuponatyne
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Bit Template perhaps, but currently crunching this:

    Ryan (Fab)
    Zinchenko / Robertson / TAA (Zouma) (Diop)
    Salah / Sterling / Jorginho / Perez / Bilva
    King / Deulofelu (Wickham)

    Any suggestions??

    1. adamtheyido
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Too much money on keepers and bench

      1. onceuponatyne
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Do you think?
        I did have Ederson as set and forget but bringing in Zink meant someone had to go... Fab and Ryan rotate well...

        I'm fairly happy with Zouma and Diop as options to play tbh.

        1. MosF94
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          4.5 and 4.0 GK duo all the way

  24. Ganso
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Digne/ VVD or Coleman/ Robbo?

    1. internal error
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      The later

    2. JELLYFISH
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I prefer Digne/VVD

    3. Andy_Social
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Swings & Roundabouts, that.

    4. adamtheyido
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Coleman and trent

    5. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Digne and TAA

    6. Ganso
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Cheers all. Have TAA already in my team as he nearly killed me towards the end of last season!

  25. sirmorbach

    Do you like this 3-5-2?

    Pope
    TAA, VVD, Laporte
    Salah, KDB, Siggy, Fraser, Madds
    Tammy, King

    He’s my Zouma team already! I quite like it as need a 5m enabler....thoughts??!

    Pope
    TAA - Coleman - Zinch - Zouma
    Salah - Sterling - Fraser - Perez
    Vardy - Wilson

    1. adamtheyido

      It's good. Do you have anybody on bench that actually plays?

      1. Andy Mac
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

      Tielemans > Perez imo until more information about Perez' role. Tielemans guaranteed 90 mins and returns.

        Yep. Could be either. Keeping an eye on both

      Okay, Norwood.

      I have a Zoma + Mount draft, so nerrrr 😉

        Haha! No thanks! Sticking with my 4-4-2!

          Sorry, misunderstood. Thought you were asking for a 5m benchie.
          Prob with your Starting XI is the poss of Zouma and Zinkers being rotated. So you do need viable 4.5s to step up.

      excellent stuff

    If Palace were to lose Zaha I think they'd be a candidate for the relegation dogfight. As it stands however, I have it as a five-way-flutter between the three promoted sides, Brighton and Newcastle. Think Hasenhuttl is too good a manager for Southampton to drop.

    18. Sheffield United.
    19. Brighton.
    20. Norwich.

    Predicting this, is it then counter-intuitive to consider drafting Ryan as my set-and-forget keeper?

    1. BIind Moth

      18. Newcastle
      19. Norwich
      20. Sheff Utd

    2. HamezMace

      Think exactly the same bottom 2. Between Sheffield United, and Newcastle for the last spot.

    3. adamtheyido

      Honestly I would say a 5m keeper and coleman will get more points than Ryan and Digne for example.
      But it depends who Going to be Burnleys No.1

    4. Andy_Social

      Those will be the bottom 5 as you say, so yes it's daft to get Ryan. If saints are too good, Gunn is a decent pick. If Burnley will be safe, Pope's value at 4.5.

      18. Palace
      19. Norwich
      20. Newcastle

        Superlative humour and quality.

          Much obliged 🙂

    Anybody going for Maddison? Or are Perez/Tielemans still the favourites round here.

    1. BIind Moth
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I'm still unsure and probably will be until the season starts. I don't think any them will produce big numbers in the first couple of GW's. Might be best to wait and see.

    2. Andy_Social

      I found a spare 0.5 this morning and converted Teilemans to Maddy, but then I spent it again.
      Basically, Maddy is a better pick, but he's worth 0.25m more than the other 2. There's really nothing in it, value-wise.

      1. Kimmich
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I’m also tempted to go with him because of the price point. 7 would allow a switch to any of the other Leicester mids as well as Zaha/FAnderson.

        I get what your saying with value though, can see it in all of them.

    3. EMBOLOFAN

      all 3 are good options, i have maddison. need to decide between rich+4.5 or perez+digne

  29. amit1964

    if they are naild ,pick one:

    a) mount
    b) yermulenko
    c) perrera

    1. Pep's Money Laundry

      B

    2. adamtheyido
      • 11 Years

      A 100% if he was nailed. No.10 role at Chelsea for 6m, thatd be cause for a celebration

      1. sirmorbach
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        If nailed, A indeed. By far. The "nailed" part is the issue though.

    3. EMBOLOFAN
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      a is never going to be, so b

  30. Ajax Hamsterdam

    Zaha is a good player but the amount of money arsenal are prepared to pay for him is insane ...

    1. Andy_Social
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Same for every transfer. 20m for Mings????? how much for 3-goals-in-3-years Mousset? etc etc

    2. EMBOLOFAN
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      £65m+ is nothing for a team who are pushing for CL

    3. sirmorbach
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      That's how the market seems to go these days..
