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.

    Is Pepe now on pens?

    1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Looks like it. Could have just been Auba being generous though

    2. Shineonme
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Apparently so.

  2. dunas_dog

    This is set up next week. Thinking if Greenwood recovers from Tonsillitis he plays. Got 2 free transfers and .3m in bank. What would you do?

    A Wildcard
    B Haller to Abraham and carry free
    B A plus Digne to Otamendi for free
    C Any other advice welcome

    Pope
    TAA VVD Digne
    Salah Sterling KDB Cantwell
    Greenwood Pukki Haller

    McGovern Diop Ceballos Rico

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      6 years, 10 months ago

      * Oops numbering wrong. Should be
      A
      B
      C
      D

      1. joelsprylar
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        D With fraud Ceballos to Mount or McGinn for a -4.

        1. joelsprylar
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 10 months ago

          So C+ Ceballos to the trashcan.

    2. KunDogan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      B

    3. Rinseboy
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      B with both moves

  3. Catastrophe
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Don't trust Sterling with armband, fancy Son. Which is best?

    A) Sterling, Aubameyang & Zinchenko -> Aguero, Son & Otamendi (-4)?

    B) Mount & Zinchenko -> Dilva & Diop/Tomori

    C) Sterling & Mount -> Son & Dilva

    Cheers.

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Wondering why you think to ship out Mount

      1. Catastrophe
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        I'm leaning towards A...Mount isn't a priority to ship but not sure he's a great option either.

  4. Whats the Mata?
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Mane to Son for the next 3 irrespective of Mane being fit or not?

    Thinking Mane + Wickham to Son + Tammy.

    Thoughts?

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Could work well

    2. FC Hakkebøf
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Not crazy about shipping Mane before Sheffield United, but getting Tammy + Son makes it worth it imo

    3. Shineonme
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Klopp stated on sky live Mane is fine.

  5. antis0cial
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    I though Haller looked poor today, would you do below moves for -4, if so, which?

    A) Digne, Haller to Ota, Wilson
    B) Digne, Haller to Tomori, Vardy

    Current team below
    Pope
    TAA Soyuncu Rico
    Salah Sterling KDB Mount
    Tammy Pukki Haller

    Cantwell Digne Gibson

  6. barracuda
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Is Fraser still on majority of set pieces?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Even when he’s on the pitch, no.

    2. ZimZalabim
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      i think harry wilson is on direct free kicks

    3. barracuda
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Was thinking of bringing him in but Maddison/Mount might by that guy

      1. FourLokoLeipzig
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Surely you don’t bring in someone who isn’t starting? I mean he may get his place back, but the risk/reward ratio doesn’t seem worth it

  7. ZimZalabim
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    would u prioritize getting son in or tammy ?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      No brainer

    2. Demí
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Son

  8. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Mount or Abraham to on-board first?

    1. Shineonme
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Abrahams is a must for Chelsea's future fixtures

    2. KunDogan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Tammy

  9. Champions united
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Plss suggest
    Should i get tammy or he is injured?
    If not him then whom vardy?

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Apparently had a knock.. I'd wait for more info.

  10. ZeBestee
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Has Mahrez increased his chances of starting after 2 consecutive good performances? Is he remotely worth bringing in? Can see this season becoming his breathrough season.

    1. jomikijiq
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      he has been great so far this season, but Bernardo is his direct competition for the starting spot in the strongest XI at the moment

      1. ZeBestee
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        True, a threat to Sterling too. They did not miss him yesterday.

        1. Shineonme
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 10 months ago

          No one is a threat to sterling. Pepe just gave him a rest. He'll start next league game and probably haul.

          1. KunDogan
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            6 years, 10 months ago

            This

  11. Aftermath
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Upto 1.2 mil from 2 mil, slow and steady. Wish to put Lundstram 1st on bench instead of Cantwell but can't really complain.

  12. XABI 15
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    RMWC please. bottomed previously

    Pope Button
    TAA Otamendi Rico Lundstram Guilbert
    Son KDB Mount Mcginn Cantwell
    Aguero Aubemyang Wilson

    1. Bury94
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Not keen on that mate, don't think having Aguero and Auba is viable. It'd scare me not having a Liverpool mid

  13. McSauce
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Is it spiteful to have Aguero, Otamendi, salah, TAA and get zero bonus. Whatever about salah but 2 def scoring and not a single BP is harsh

    80 total is decent but still...

    1. ZimZalabim
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      80 is massive stop being greedy and bitter

      1. McSauce
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Still feel hard done by getting 80 and having all those players and no bonus

    2. grumpyman
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      I wildcarded into a 53 pointer, bonus schmonus.

  14. I know nothing
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Select one for like rest of the matches
    1- salah
    2- mane
    3- aug
    4- auba
    5- vardy
    6- kane
    7- sterling

    1. I know nothing
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      So u wont select

      1. Swanremainsthesame
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Its a silly question.
        Bcos it varies , & we have FT, Free Hit, & wildcards

    2. mrodgers91
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Is this the 4th time posting the question? Salah as top scorer last 2 years

      1. I know nothing
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        No one answer..actually 5th time

    3. KunDogan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Salah

  15. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Tammy has still only scored vs promoted sides and relegation fodder.

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      we will be proved right about Tammy, he is not getting in my team

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        I might captain him 😀

        1. Bobby Digital
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 10 months ago

          He's my vc atm

        2. Shineonme
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 10 months ago

          He's my VC too

    2. ZeBestee
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Still.thinking of bringing him in.

    3. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      1. Mr. Grv
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Stuck Wilson atm but tammy could be option if wasnt a doubt

    Any suggestions???

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Save

    2. mrodgers91
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Digne out for me, everton are leaking goals all over. Scary going without kdb too

      1. mrodgers91
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Also city and Burnley coming up. Not much chance of attacking returns there imo

      2. Shineonme
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah I just transfered him out for Otamendi. Everton look awful

    3. FC Hakkebøf
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Digne -> tomori or soy

  19. Karan_G14
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Pope
    TAA - VVD - AWB
    Mane - Sterling - KDB - Mount
    Pukki - Barnes - Wickham

    (4.0 Digne Cantwell Lund)
    2 FTs & 1.0m

    A) Digne & Wickham ➡️ Rico & Abraham

    B) Digne, AWB & Wickham ➡️ Rico, Otamendi & Abraham (-4)

    C) Digne, Mane & Wickham ➡️ Otamendi, Son(c) & Abraham (-4)

    Appreciate your thoughts! 🙂

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      A

    2. Shineonme
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      A or B is ok

    3. KunDogan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      A

  20. FC Hakkebøf
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    (RP - no love for post on previous page)

    Which move do you prefer?

    Pope
    TAA Mina Dunk
    Sterling KDB Martial Mount
    Aguero Abraham Pukki
    ____
    Button; Ceballos Kelly Lundstram

    2 FT 0.0 ITB

    A) Mina -> Tomori and bank FT
    B) Mina + Dunk -> Soy + Tomori and bank the cash
    C) Martial + Ceballos + Mina -> Son + Tomori + Dendoncker (will wait the the drop on the latter who is currently on -98ish)

    1. I know nothing
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      C

  21. iL PiStOlErO
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Guys with all this non-existing cs I am seriously thinking of wc to this:

    TEAM SALAH

    Pope Button
    Pieters Soyuncu Lundstram Rico Guilbert
    Salah KDB Son Cantwell Saka/Choudhury
    Kun Auba Grenwood

    or

    TEAM MANE
    Pope Button
    Otamendi Soyuncu Lundstram Rico Guilbert
    Mane KDB Son Cantwell Guendouzi
    Kun Auba Grenwood

    Just looking at this makes me crazy, but on current team I have TAA and not sure if I should do it (wc activated). Which option do you pefer?

    1. mrodgers91
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      As a liverpool fan i would like to say cs are coming but salah kdb son cantwell auba and kun looks delectable. If only there was a way to fit in pukki too

      1. iL PiStOlErO
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        I am thinking how to use the best from the tight budget and this way I have 5 big guns.

    2. FC Hakkebøf
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Too weak at the back in both options. TAA a season keeper

      1. iL PiStOlErO
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        I agree. But had a really bad start and already 80pts behind. So thinking why not to risk it and later I could always bring Trent back with some reshuffle if one of the big guns start misfiring.

      2. KunDogan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        +1

  22. HuttonDressedasLahm
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Rough.....
    Played WC.
    Sold McGinn, Otamendi
    Brought in Aguero for Sterling and (c) so no flukey autosub
    Lundstram nailed to bench

    Pre WC team 91 after autosubs
    Post WC team 71

    What a waste!

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Feel ya

    2. Andy'81
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Can't nail it every time unfortunately, 71 is still a good score this GW.

    3. KunDogan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Both teams scored nicely

  23. Champions League Varane
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Opinions appreciated!
    Sterling(have kdb,sergio),Barnes,Dendo,Digne -TO
    Son,Tammy,Mount,5.9 defender
    Should I do it?
    Thanks

    1. PrettyDick
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      for -8? or -12? probably not.
      Sterling will start next match now, and Everton are awful.

      1. Champions League Varane
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        -8 I think it’s time it would prevent me getting Abraham and Son

    2. KunDogan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Nah

  24. tafrère
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Adrian Button
    TAA Zinchenko AWB Lundstram Kelly
    Salah Sterling KDB Cantwell Dendoncker
    Aubameyang Pukki Wickham

    2 FTs, £0.2

    Defensive changes :
    A) Zinchenko > Otamendi
    B) Zinchenko + AWB > Otamendi + Aurier

    or offensives changes :
    C) Zinchenko + Dendoncker > Rico + Yarmolenko/McGinn
    D) Zinchenko + Dendoncker + Aubameyang > Rico + Son + Abraham (-4)
    E) Dendoncker + Aubameyang > Mount/Yarmolenko/McGinn + Abraham

    1. Champions League Varane
      • 7 Years

      I like D but for a hit I’m not sure?

    2. mrodgers91
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Do not get rid of auba with BOU shu CPL coming up

      1. Champions League Varane
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        This

    3. Shineonme
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      D looks good

    4. KunDogan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      A

  25. Lanley Staurel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    How can I possibly rise 600k places from 700k odd to 100k odd in one game week? Scores and ranks must be hugely crowded around this space.

    1. Bury94
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Yeah I've gone from 800k to 300k, that's why you don't really need to worry about your OR right now

    2. FC Hakkebøf
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      It will settle after gw10 or so.

  26. Bury94
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Could be a good week for a differential captain next week, City and Liverpool both got tricky away games. Got it on Abraham at home to Brighton atm, will probably end up on Aguero though!

    1. Demí
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Salah for me

      1. FC Hakkebøf
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Would do the same if I had him..

    2. PrettyDick
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      100%. I'm torn between Son and Abraham (will not put it on Aguero or Mané)

  27. Mr. Grv
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    How long do you think tomori is nailed ?

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Currently their best defender imo. Worth a punt

      1. Mr. Grv

    Started the day with an OR of 363 and 3 players to play and ended on just above 2K. This day, combined with auto subs, haven't been my best friend.

    GW of 65 points and still red arrows.. oh well, hopefully it'll go better next week

    I was all set even before bringing him 3 GWs ago on ditching Aguero, but how can you ditch a man in such a form! 1.34 xG per game, this stat is just wow... On the other hand do I still need both Sterling and Aguero if I can captain only one? That would mean ditching one of them, but who?

        What about Sterling and Abraham/Haller? That would be closer maybe?
