Barkley and Mount both start as Pulisic drops to the bench

The final fixture of Gameweek 1 takes place at 16:30 BST as Manchester United welcome Chelsea to Old Trafford.

There weren’t too many shocks upon the release of the teamsheets but perhaps the headline news was that both Mason Mount (£6.0m) and Ross Barkley (£6.0m) – rather than one or the other – start together in Frank Lampard’s first Premier League starting XI as Chelsea manager.

Christian Pulisic (£7.5m) is the man to make way, with the USA international dropping to the bench.

Pedro (£7.0m) completes the trio of attacking midfielders lining up behind lone striker Tammy Abraham (£7.0m).

N’Golo Kante (£5.0m) is only fit enough for a place on the bench, while Willian (£7.0m) and Antonio Rudiger (£6.0m) miss out.

Harry Maguire and Aaron Wan-Bissaka (both £5.5m) are handed their competitive United debuts but Daniel James (£6.0m) is only a substitute.

Andreas Pereira (£5.0m) instead gets the nod and will line up in ‘the hole’, with Jesse Lingard (£6.5m) on the right flank and Marcus Rashford (£8.5m) stationed on the opposite wing.

An ‘out of position’ Anthony Martial (£7.5m) is reportedly set to lead the line.

Budget FPL forward Mason Greenwood (£4.5m) is on the bench, meanwhile.

Chelsea XI: Kepa, Azpilicueta, Christensen, Zouma, Emerson, Kovacic, Jorginho, Mount, Barkley, Pedro, Abraham.

Manchester United XI: De Gea, Wan-Bissaka, Shaw, Maguire, Lindelof, McTominay, Pereira, Pogba, Lingard, Rashford, Martial.

    Good to find out this seasons whipping boys early, Vardy(C) next week.

    1. AndyCook
        4 years, 8 months ago

        They didn’t even suffer the heaviest defeat this weekend haha?

      • Scar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Vardy Triple Captain

      • Greasy Grealish Gang
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        How bad were they on a scale /10. Going either captain Salah, Sterling or Vardy.

        1. The Ejiptian King
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          I was only joking, they weren't that bad, better team first half but got torn apart on the counter in the second. I do think Leicester will cause them problems although having Kante back will be huge.

          1. Greasy Grealish Gang
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            Thanks! Guess that's a downside from not actually seeing a match. Salah/ Sterling train it is!

    2. DIMITRIS
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Not so bad after all, got 93 points even though Trossard didn't play.
      Should I transfer him out for McGinn ?

      1. The Ejiptian King
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        I'd roll FT, especially if you have a playing sub.

      2. Warby84
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Save a transfer,

      3. Respect My Authoritah
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        I'm most likely doing that. But it does depend on your plans and other players

      4. EMBOLOFAN
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        would be an edgy way to waste ft

        1. DIMITRIS
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Yeah it looks like that, but I have Moura and want to get Martial instead of him because of fixtures. Perhaps I could wait another GW and decide after that. Thanks for suggestions gys 🙂

          1. DIMITRIS
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            guys*

    3. Warby84
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Alisson to Ederson clearly the most popular transfer, Ederson the first likely to go to 6.1 tomorrow

      1. Respect My Authoritah
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Surprising given the number of cheap keeper performers

      2. LarryDuff
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Let them do it, Ryan and pope all the way

      LMS safety score will probably be 66.

        Can we still join?

        1. Yank Revolution
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Yes

    5. HurriKane
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Case for Martial.

      - Very Good last season. Was involved in 14 goals (10g 4a) in only 18 pl starts last season

      - OOP. Playing striker.

      - Bargain price of 7.5m

      - Fixtures- wol CRY sot LEI whu in next 5

      Great option. Thoughts?

      1. HurriKane
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        And not to forget nailed on this season

      2. EMBOLOFAN
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        case against: cant kick a football (owner)

        1. The Seagulls and the Trawle…
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          This!

        2. HurriKane
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Calm down. He got into good goalscoring positions and had 4 shots

      3. Respect My Authoritah
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        He is a good option. Not really much else to say is there?

      4. Amey
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Yep
        Rashford looked much better player though. Need to see another outing to decide

        1. HurriKane
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Martial 1m cheaper plus no room for rashford as kane and jota occupies them

          1. AndyCook
              4 years, 8 months ago

              You can put three in..

        2. sully29
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Gonna wait another week to see how United look against Wolves. If he looks the part then I'll bring him in.

          They ripped a very naive defense apart on the counterattack today. Wolves might be a tougher test.

          1. HurriKane
            • 11 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            If you got moura looks an ideal swap imo to catch the price rise

        3. Now I'm Panicking
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Sounds like was a logical GW1 pick

        4. Markus
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          That's why I got him gw1. Be aware his output was slightly lower than Rashford (fpl goal involvement modelled) under solskjaer... Free kicks and pens will help further. But I don't think that diminishes martial's value but just if you're making choices...

        5. DIMITRIS
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Indeed a great option. Get him in.

        6. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Can't take much away from that..Chelsea went on melt down. Wolves will give them a test. Although they got the Europe game midweek. UTD seem to be playing teams at the right time so maybe

          1. El Lobito 10
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            Martial didn't do much today and Rashford takes penalties, very well too I might add

        7. The Seagulls and the Trawle…
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Am I the only one to think that he was awful today? This in his team’s fantastic display. I do own him btw.

      5. Piggs Boson
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        How many Leicester players are you bringing in for the Chelsea game next week?

        Anyone triple captaining?

        1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years

          Don't speak ill, of the afflicted. 😛

          1. Piggs Boson
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            😀

        2. Respect My Authoritah
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Hehe. I almost had 2, but opted for Trossard over Tielemans 🙁

        3. It’s gonna Ben Mee
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Perez should be enough

        4. SkeletONv01
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          None, already have Perez and Vardy 😛

      6. Markus
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        If Emerson plays the next 2 this week and Chelsea look vaguely competent at the back, he could be a cracking prospect. Two big ifs I know but on the watch list...

        1. Athletic Nasherbo
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Chelsea fan here. We haven’t looked vaguely good at the back all pre-season. Can’t imagine it will improve quickly.

          1. Hazz
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            100% agree.

          2. Markus
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            OK good to know! You won't play man utd away every week though. It depends how Frank responds to presumably a beating by pool in the super cup and a tricky game against Leicester. If they can be more resolute in those games, take some more encouraging signs, I still they're good for some bargains once fixtures ease gw3.

            1. Athletic Nasherbo
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              Not being funny but that United attack isn’t amazing...

              We conceded 3 to Reading for example.

        2. Piggs Boson
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          I wouldn't touch him until Kante and Rudiger are back settled in the XI.

          1. Markus
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            Yep this will make a big difference. You're right until then probably gonna be wobbly.

        3. Je suis le chat
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Lamps teams don't seem to defend well. Lucky man really to get the job.

        4. Coaly
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Looked really dangerous. Had a few shots and hit the post. Played very advanced too.

      7. The Truth Is...
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Ederso

          Van Dijk Robertson Azpilcueta

          Salah Sterling Sigurdsson Maddison Jorginho

          Jota Deulofeu

          Mcgovern Dunk Lundstram Nketiah

          Would you change anything?

          1. Greasy Grealish Gang
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            I'd personally stay away from Chelsea for now.

        • Bury94
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          893k OR, I know it's only GW1 but still. *shivers*

          1. BooYaKasha
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            I'm with you, feels funny to be over 80p GW and a close on 1m OR

          2. white heart pain
            • 13 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            Careful what you wish for... i started last year in top 8k and then proceeded to get red arrows for the whole year. Felt horrible all year.

        • Whats the Mata?
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 8 months ago

          Cons of getting McGinn in for Trossard?

          Can only see pros until now.

          1. EMBOLOFAN
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            con is its a complete waste of a ft

            pros not sure

          2. Respect My Authoritah
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            Using a transfer. Could start and haul.

            I'm probably doing it. Saving 0.5 tips it

          3. Yank Revolution
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            I can't really think of any and Im in the same boat. Tross does have WHam at home this week tho.

          4. Greek Flair
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            I’d chill. McGinn could be a nobody this time next week. Wait and see

          5. Swanremainsthesame
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            Chasing last weeks points, normally gets you nothing but pain

            1. Yank Revolution
              • 12 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              Unless theyre hidden gems who keep scoring. It does happen you know.

          6. Greasy Grealish Gang
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            To be fair McGinn was already on my radar. Had a fantastic pre-season. I'm getting him either way since I can afford him. Great pick unless it's too much of a sacrifice in my opinion.

          Any people with a 4.5 GK and a free Liverpool spot considering using your FT to get Adrian...?

          1. The Wanton Trader
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            All dependent on how serious Alison injury of course.

          2. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            It is the only transfer that I MAY consider ...

            1. The Wanton Trader
              • 6 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              I have Pope and all though he scored well, he’s got Arse up next which I originally didn’t mind, but now there’s a way into the Liverpool defence for 4.5 I’m seriously thinking about it...

              1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 14 Years
                4 years, 8 months ago

                I think that Allison has to be out for at least 7, to make it worth it, for me. 6, and I will be hopping about on one foot.

                I have Heaton and Henderson.

                1. The Wanton Trader
                  • 6 Years
                  4 years, 8 months ago

                  I’ve got a 4 mil, so there’s bound to be a game down the line where Allison makes an unexpected early return that no one knows about and I’d be left with 0 pts.
                  I think I’ll wait for a bit more info about his injury.

                  1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • 14 Years
                    4 years, 8 months ago

                    Yeah. Me too.

          3. Tcheco
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            Yes but I have Ryan who has good home fixtures coming up. Not sure if I should do it

            1. The Wanton Trader
              • 6 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              I’ve got Pope.

              1. Tcheco
                • 6 Years
                4 years, 8 months ago

                Would go for it if there are no other pressing issues in your team

                1. The Wanton Trader
                  • 6 Years
                  4 years, 8 months ago

                  No other issues.
                  Just need to see how long Allison is out for.

          4. Athletic Nasherbo
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            If you have a playing GK it’s not worth it imo

            • 8 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            I've got Button and .5m itb and very tempted. Would use him and loose him when I WC.

            1. Athletic Nasherbo
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              Transfers are precious seems a waste.

                4.5m nailed, albeit short termish, Liverpool defensive asset. Seems a gift. Tides over some iffy fixtures for Pope.

            Keep the spot open for possibly Mane.

              4 years, 8 months ago

              Would love Mane, but I would need to take out a massive loan to get him in my team. 😉

            I have Pope (who plays Arsenal, Wolves and Liverpool next three) and a free Liverpool spot. So I am definitely doing it if Alisson is missing at least 4 games.

            1. The Wanton Trader
              • 6 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              Seems like a good use of a FT if Allison is out for a while.
              He won’t stay at 4.5 mil for long.

              I'm permanently playing Pope, saving myself any headaches, will take what points I get.

          How is bringing in someone on your watchlist, that you strongly considered for your GW1 team, a knee jerk!? Swear some of you would never make a transfer...be interesting to see how many of you saying 'keep' own the said player/s yourself

          1. Athletic Nasherbo
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 8 months ago

            This! Classic case of the FF Scout community thinking there’s only ONE WAY to play the game.

            Wouldn’t bother even asking if you can do a transfer this week mate they’ll all say you’re kneejerking.

              Exactly - I don't understand people asking questions when they know what the answers will be, and they are going to disagree with them anyway! Almost as if they are looking for an argument.

              'Asking if you can do a transfer?'
              How old are you, 12? People can make any transfers they want. Just don't complain if you ask a question and don't like the answer.

              1. Athletic Nasherbo
                • 7 Years
                4 years, 8 months ago

                I’m 8 mate. Honestly the stupidity of this reply confirms that you must be 12.

                Clearly people ask if it’s worth transferring out a player HENCE THEY ARE ASKING IF THEY SHOULD DO A TRANSFER

            With the info you have now, you are gambling same as GW1 team. Save a transfer , gather data, and the 2 transfers you make GW3 would have allot more impact imho

            1. Athletic Nasherbo
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              I do agree with this logic but it doesn’t mean a transfer this week is a no go.

              For example Alisson, Bilva, Trossard all cases where strong cases for a transfer are made.

            Cause he's a great goal scorer?

            For next week mainly.

            Can't complain about a goal!

            Unlucky this week mate as all the premium options did well!

            He’s scored 6 in 3 against Burnley if that helps...

                Price rises are fast and can hurt so hard at the start of the year.

                Yeah thought kelly and Lund rotate ok. SHU, LEI, AVL, SOU, WOL. Only worry would be kelly starting spot with Sakho and tomkins return

            Last season's GW1 had goals from Alli, Joselu, Jorginho, Sturridge... none of them went on to become "essential".

            Don't overreact.

              Does the gameweek number matter too much? Could say something similar about any isolated gameweek

                Of course. I just chose GW1 because that's where we're at right now.

                  Yeah, get that. A lot of this week's performers are in the pool of players most would consider good picks.

                  Some will flop, some will soar 🙂

                4 years, 8 months ago

                I remember Jorginho getting very popular. It’s the mid priced players who might outperform their price points big time that get the attention!

            5. Cleric
              • 4 Years
              4 years, 8 months ago

              Wilson and Fraser 0.5itb to Rashford and martial?

              What you guys think?

              1. Je suis le chat
                • 10 Years
                4 years, 8 months ago

                I'd do just Wilson to Rashford.

                Aye transfer out Wilson just before he plays Villa. Good idea. Maybe just wildcard to the team of the week instead?

              7. Alan Watts
                • 5 Years
                4 years, 8 months ago

                Yeah think its worth it...

                Spurs found it difficult to break down Villa

                BOU very hot and cold team, looked poor vs Shef at home,then a run of difficult fixtures...

                Price rises this early more significant....

              Thoughts on the United Chelsea game:

              - Zouma awful, rash in the tackle and poor distribution. Unless he improves significantly then he has to be the one to make way for Rudiger
              - United significantly improved defensively with the additions of Maguire and AWB, who could both offer good value at 5.5. Maguire a threat in the box and could dominate the BPS with his strong CBI, AWB getting into some advanced positions and putting crosses in
              - Chelsea striker and #10 positions both a no-go. Likely to see a lot of substitutions around the hour mark
              - United attackers unlikely to maintain their form, as most teams won’t play so openly against them. Could struggle to create chances against a low block
              - Pogba looks overweight, but still has fantastic passing range and power in his driving runs. Was a creative threat
              - Chelsea naive defensively and off the pace in the second half

                  If he was going to be disruptive then best to get him out of the squad. Chelsea have a real lack of experience at centre back now though

              Can anybody confirm whether FPL have removed the ability to see other teams transfers or is that just missing because it’s gameweek 1?

                Likely the former.

              I have Ings, Wood and Jiminez up front who are facing Liverpool, Man Utd and Arsenal respectively... after all of my planning I fail at GW2. Was always going to save my first weeks free transfer but it might be time to knee-jerk to the Pukki bandwagon already. Sit it out and bench two or make a transfer, what do we think?

                Avoid a transfer. Stick with your team, you picked it you’ve had weeks, see it out and re assess after GW2. Plenty of time, it isn’t a sprint.

                  Rest of my squad looks fantastic (apart from KWP v City) I reckon I’ll settle with 4-5-1 and play Ings after watching Liverpool flap at the back against Norwich, thanks lads.

                Just hold mate you only have 1 weeks with of data to roll with. Come gameweek 3 if you have 2ft I am considering a “mini wildy” for a -4 by changing 3 players

                Never bench a starting striker. Wood to Pukki works for me

              4. Clint Dempsey
                • 12 Years
                4 years, 8 months ago

                They could score all 3.. Ings least likely i guess..

              Who will play at centreback for Chelsea when Rudiger is fit? Presume he is first choice but with who? Zouma or Christensen?

                • 7 Years
                4 years, 8 months ago

                Christensen most likely

                1. Saint Tim
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 13 Years
                  4 years, 8 months ago

                  That’s what I thought. He was shocking today

              • 7 Years

              what would you guys consider the threshold for a good score this week? 80+?

                Under 1M every week is good

                Inside 1m is normally a green arrow.
