Mount and Emerson recover from injury to start against Liverpool

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.

    Why are people dropping Haller, i’d like to know

    1. OldBenKenobi
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Likely for Tammy and the fixture swing

      1. Freaki
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        He’s got a run of 6 fixtures quite easy

        1. Freaki
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Bournemouth
          Palace
          Everton
          Sheff
          Newcastle
          Burnley

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Tammy
      Pukki

    3. Warby84
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Like me probably Haller to Abraham!!

    4. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Tammy fixtures are better and Tammy stats are better.

    5. ViperStripes
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Lots of strikers and only 3 spots, I’ve wildcarded to get inAguero and one of Haller, Barnes and Pukki has to go.

  2. Warby84
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Pope
    VVD Trent Digne Mings /Lundstrum
    Salah Sterling Mount SonC
    Pukki Abraham

    done Haller to Abraham think it looks pretty good to go.. Had a dreadful week of 51

    Gtg?

    1. KunDogan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Gtg

  3. LIARS POKER
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Thoughts on a triple city wildcard?

    Pope
    Aurier Soyuncu Tomori Lundstram Rico
    Salah Sterling KDB Mount Cantwell
    Aguero Abraham Greenwood

    Cheap defence but could it pay off?

    Bottomed

    1. Slitherene
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Try getting in Firmino for Salah, for the tough run of fixtures. Then use the 3 ITB wisely.

  4. Slitherene
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    1 FT, 1.2 ITB

    Pope
    VvD Soyuncu Zinchenko*
    Salah KdB Son Mount
    Callum Ayew Pukki
    Heaton Diop Digne Stephens

    Need to downgrade both VvD & Zinchenko to 4.5 defenders, if I want to afford the attackers I want in the following GW's.

    How does this move sound?
    VvD + Callum -> Tomori + Auba

  5. TheDragon
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    1 FT

    Ryan Button
    VVD, Soyuncu, Digne, AWB, Lund
    Salah, Sterling, KDB, Mount, Cantwell
    Pukki, Jota, Greenwood

    Which of these moves to make this week?

    A) Digne/ AWB -> Ota (leaning towards Digne as AWB has Newcastle week after next)
    B) Jota -> Abraham (Jota has Watford at home this week so could give him that)
    C) VVD -> TAA (a transfer I always want to make but can never justify the -4)

    Digne -> Ota tonight?

    1. fgdu
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      they all look like ood transfers. In my opinion its B and I also think you should do C as a -4. It would have paid off this week and many other weeks.

    2. Balls of Steel
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      A - Digne to Ota

      1. TheDragon
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Can’t decide between Digne or AWB to get rid of ... Digne fixtures are decent post City

        1. pingissimus
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          They are and I’m sorry to lose him but want to use cash upfield. From looks of it Ota has decent attacking potential. My vague regret is not holding on for Mendy but life is too short

    3. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Same choice more or less did Digne to Ota and kept AWB for one more.

      My Robbo TAA switch I’m holding for a couple of weeks.

  6. Brosstan
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Zinchenko will be back next game week to punish sellers. Do you really believe Mendy who couldnt be trusted to play more than 45 minutes in a game where they were leading 5-0 will begin to start every match? Zinchenko will play after receiving a nice rest yesterday.

    1. Whats the Huth
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Mendy is being weaned back.
      Once fully fit. Mendy is nailed imo.

    2. Maddamotha
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Guess we will see who plays midweek

    3. KunDogan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I think you are right about Zinc being the first choice, but Mendy will get some play time too...

  7. Sid07
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Is zinc to ota (-4) worth ??

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Can you cover for zinc ?

      1. Sid07
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Yes with lund

    2. KunDogan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Not for a hit

  8. Stef rocks
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Digne > Pereira for -4 or just play Zinchenko/Digne. Other defenders TAA Aurier Lund!

    1. KunDogan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Not for me

  9. FOO FIGHTER
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Time has come to switch to 343.

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Used 352 for the first time ever this week..

    2. Whats the Huth
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      352

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I am on 352. Getting Firmino in.

        1. FOO FIGHTER
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Then 343

  10. arkom
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Sterling & Pukki --> Aguero & Mount (-4) ?

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Definitely not for me

    2. Whats the Huth
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Eww

    3. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Why on earth get rid of Pukki? Do Sterling to Aguero. Find another way to get Mount.

      1. arkom
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Just Digne --> Ota or Aurier then?

    4. KunDogan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Nooo

  11. Bobby Digital
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Get rid of Sterling or Salah or neither? Are there any midweek games?

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Keep Salah.

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I'd like to get some Spurs cover for the next tree GWs...

      1. Bartowski
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Irish?

    3. KunDogan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Neither

  12. Sloane426
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Wc...
    (A) Aguero + Mane + 4.8m def
    (B) Firmino + Sterling + Taa

    1. Paulie Walnuts
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      A

      1. Whats the Huth

      No
      Keep sterling

  14. james 101
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Mings to Tomori?

    Yay or Nay?

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Mings has nice fixture next

      1. james 101
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        True. But several shady ones after.

        Tomori has many great fixtures in a row.

    2. QUEN
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Mings almost scored today

      But £4.5m for a ‘top 5’ Club is a no brainier imo

      1. QUEN
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Top 6 even

    3. Warby84
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      No

  15. Viper
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    A. Barnes - > Tammy

    B. Ceballos - > Mount

    C. Digne - > Aurier

    D. Combination of 2 (-4) or all 3 (-8)

    1. Whats the Huth
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I’m tempted by c
      But I think b is more important

    2. Effe
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      B

    3. The_Fish
      • 5 Years

    5. KunDogan

    Bench: Dendo Lundstram Digne
    0.4 ITB, 1 FT

    1. Paulie Walnuts

      Sterling to KDB

      1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Hmm, it is tempting. Just know Sterling will haul if I do it.

  17. Longlatini
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years

    Up 930k, almost into the top million

    Yay!

  18. Ribus
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Would you rather have Wilson or Vardy on wc?

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I have vardy . I'd take Wilson if I was doing my wc now

    2. The_Fish
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Did my WC last week, went from Vardy to Wilson.

      Vardy will be back at some point, great fixtures coming up. Bournemouth also have great fixtures though.

    3. In and Out
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Vary looked great yesterday could have got a few. Wilson fluked a goal I would go Vardy

    4. fgdu
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      have you looked at vardys fixtures

  19. olidooley
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Tomori or Söyüncü?

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Tom better fixtures. But its a 50/50 really. After Liverpool game I would prolly prefer Soy

    2. OldBenKenobi
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Indeed

  20. Amey
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Lundstram is the highest scoring Defender atm !!

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      On my bench too 🙂

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Same
        Missed both hauls on bench

        1. Bobby Digital
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Got both; first by picking him, second as substitute. Lucky, I know.

  21. Dirty Harry
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Is Mount and Tammy too much? Or go with both for the fixture swing?

    1. Paulie Walnuts
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Both I think

      1. Dirty Harry
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Just see them play
      Uber attacking team.
      I have double up and am excited

      1. Dirty Harry
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah and their green fixtures could reap the benefits of attacking returns

    3. Podge
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I’m getting both

      1. Dirty Harry
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Let's do it!

    4. Balls of Steel
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Get them both

      1. Dirty Harry
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks man!

  22. Mince n Tatties
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    So is Zinchenko to Otamendi the sensible move?

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Yes

    2. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Yep.. Not sure if they will keep a CS this week, but definetely merit in that move if you don't plan to triple up on City offensively

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        next week obviously*

    3. Mince n Tatties
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Thanks Lads

  23. FC Hakkebøf
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    I love the look of my team for next week except the fact that I have to play Lundstram or Dunk (as Kelly will most likely be a no show)

    Pope
    TAA Tomori Lundstram
    Sterling (C) KDB Son Mount
    Aguero Abraham Pukki
    ___
    Button; Kelly Dendoncker (4.4 at that time) Dunk

    0.2 ITB

    Not sustainable with that defence and bench long term, but it will do for now.

  24. Ci Siamo

    I want to bring in a 4.5 defender. Which is the best option?

    A) Lowton
    B) Diop
    C) Tomori
    D) someone else (has to be 4.5)

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

  26. HD7
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Are we sure about Digne to Ota mates?
    Why Im asking... Digne can have an assist vs City and even if not... his fixtures are very nice after City.

    1. Dirty Harry
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Everton are trash at the moment

    2. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Do you need the cash?

      1. HD7
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Nope

    3. KunDogan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Digne is the best 6m option in the game long term
