The final two matches of Gameweek 6 take place this afternoon as Chelsea entertain Liverpool and Arsenal take on Aston Villa.

Kick-off at Stamford Bridge and at the Emirates is at 16:30 BST.

The headline news comes from west London, with Chelsea – and Fantasy managers – handed a boost upon the release of the teamsheets.

Mason Mount has recovered from injury to make his sixth straight start in the top flight, while N’Golo Kante and Emerson Palmieri are also back in Frank Lampard’s starting XI after stepping up their recoveries over the last week.

Lampard has ditched the 3-4-2-1 and reverted to a 4-3-3, with Tammy Abraham flanked by Mount and Willian up top.

Liverpool have made only one change from the side that lost to Napoli in midweek, with Georginio Wijnaldum in for James Milner in central midfield.

That means there are starts for Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Andrew Robertson, Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah.

Unai Emery has made multiple changes from the side that beat Eintracht Frankfurt on Thursday but, compared to Arsenal’s Gameweek 5 line-up, there is only one alteration: Bukayo Saka in for Mesut Ozil.

Sead Kolasinac has been passed fit despite coming off with a minor knock in Germany.

Aston Villa also make just one change to the side that drew 0-0 against West Ham on Monday night: Trezeguet returns from suspension and replaces the benched Jota.


Arsenal XI: Leno, Maitland-Niles, Luiz, Sokratis, Kolasinac, Xhaka, Guendouzi, Ceballos, Pepe, Aubameyang, Saka.

Aston Villa XI: Heaton, Guilbert, Engels, Mings, Taylor, Nakamba, McGinn, Grealish, El Ghazi, Trezeguet, Wesley.

Chelsea XI: Kepa, Azpilicueta, Christensen, Tomori, Emerson, Kanté, Jorginho, Kovačić, Willian, Abraham, Mount.

Liverpool XI: Adrian, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson, Fabinho, Wijnaldum, Henderson, Mane, Salah, Firmino.

    Chelsea goal is coming.

    1. Fred54
      7 years, 1 month ago

      It came and went mate.

    2. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah I've mentally prepared for it

  2. DontPiqueTooSoon
    7 years, 1 month ago

    On wildcard, who scores more:

    A) Otamendi & Mount
    B) Diop & Son

    Rest of team: Pope, TTA, Soy, Lundstram, Rico, Salah, Sterling, KDB, Cantwell, Pukki, Abraham, Greenwood

    1. Blue&White85
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      7 years, 1 month ago

      A

    2. sminkypinky
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Get A and your wc team is my team after 2ft this week.

      1. DontPiqueTooSoon
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Actually I just realised I can do these changes this with -4 over two weekends which seems better than using my wildcard.

        1. sminkypinky
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Absolutely!

  3. Positive vibes
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Hi, what to do with Barnes?
    Keep or replace?

    1. Sailboats
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Last chance for him. Selling him if he blanks. I have other more pressing problems like Digne and Zinchenko

    2. Chirsbom
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Sold already. Between him and Wood who really knows. There are better options if some funds.

  4. Rolls-Royce
    7 years, 1 month ago

    This half flew past in a blink

    1. GOTHAM City F.C.
      7 years, 1 month ago

      You probably fell asleep.

  5. Murder On Zidanesfloor
    7 years, 1 month ago

    So used to bad luck this season that I can barely believe that Kelly didn't feature

    1. Chirsbom
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Kelly 4.1? Players like Wan B and Lundstram has spoiled people....

      1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Mate I'm happy he didn't feature

  6. Epic Fail
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Alonso has such a punchable face. And that's before you factor in his past.

    1. Rainer
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Gorgeous isn’t he.

  7. fr3d
    7 years, 1 month ago

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      7 years, 1 month ago

      No have both + robbo

    6. DAZZ
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Still on the Salah Robbo TAA train. A Mo goal would be ideal.

    7. Stockport Hatter
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Me

    8. Klaren
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Yes only one out of 6.7m people in FPL

        7 years, 1 month ago

  8. Halftime

  9. tucaoneo

  11. barton fc
    7 years, 1 month ago

    What to do with this lot? 2FT
    Pope (4m)
    TAA VVD AWB (mina lundstrum)
    Salah sterling KDB mount cantwell
    Barnes pukki

    A) wickham + sterling + AWB/mina > Abraham + son + otamendi (Need to shed 0.1 on AWB/mina to afford)

    B) Barnes + sterling > Abraham + son

    1. tucaoneo
      7 years, 1 month ago

      A makes sense but I really hate Barnes.

  12. Eleven Hag

    5. Chirsbom
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Arsenal is a second half team.

  13. Bartowski
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Alonso Chelsea's main attacking threat at the end of the half.

  14. Over Midwicket
    7 years, 1 month ago

    The FML FPL guys must be moaning with glee. Bumper scores, both of them

    1. Epic Fail
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Other people have massive scores too.

      1. Fred54
        7 years, 1 month ago

    1. Amey
      7 years, 1 month ago

  20. DAZZ
    7 years, 1 month ago

    63 before my Lundy sub and KDB VC points. Flying

  21. Ace Ventura
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Who to take out for Tammy...

    A) Taller
    B) Barnes

    1. Ace Ventura
      7 years, 1 month ago

      *Haller

    2. HurriKane
      7 years, 1 month ago

      B

  22. FC Hakkebøf
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Even though I am a Liverpool fan and somewhat enjoying that the likes of Spurs, Chelsea, Manu and Arsenal are dropping points every other week, I sort of miss the days where the phrase ''top 6'' made sense. Now it is just a ''top 2''. Just like Barca/Real in La Liga a few years ago, whereas La Liga is actually more competitive now in that sense.

    1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Wish granted: In the next few years, Man City and Liverpool significantly regress to the level of the other 4 teams.

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I'd rather have the others improved

    2. Amey
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Yep
      Too much of a quality difference

    3. Brosstan
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Sociedad will win La Liga this year with Ødegaard at the helm!

      1. JIMMY TUGGINS
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I fancy Atletico which isn't exactly a big shout I know.

  23. HollywoodXI
    7 years, 1 month ago

    I don’t own TAA. I own Adrian, Salah and Firmino. Hmm.

    1. HurriKane
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Humble brag?

      1. HollywoodXI
        7 years, 1 month ago

        No more like TAA’s goal kills my rank even though I own the other three.

  24. The_Fish
    7 years, 1 month ago

    My ML rival needed one of Emerson or Mount to miss out for Lund points. I’m heartbroken for him.

    1. GOTHAM City F.C.
      7 years, 1 month ago

      No you're not.

  25. Amey
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Need a Mo goal ....

    1. Amey
      7 years, 1 month ago

      "at crossing"
      Yes

  27. The Mastermind
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Of all the teams that could come back from 1-0 to Aston Villa with 10 men,

    Arsenal are at the very, VERY bottom of the list.

  28. A girl has no name
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Absolutely crazy week for me!
