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.

    7. sminkypinky
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah. This is the sort of rumour that’s making me think twice about getting Tammy in. God...

      1. Chenku╰☆╮
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Seems fine see above

    8. Make FPL Casual Again
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Looked like he was limping all right...might be just cramp..still he went off fairly early when CHE needed an equalizer...might be worth waiting for confirmation before bringing him in

  3. S.Kuqi
    7 years, 1 month ago

    What is the avg score?

    1. S.Kuqi
      7 years, 1 month ago

    3. KunDogan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      7 years, 1 month ago

      62 after auto subs

  4. FOO FIGHTER
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Have to admit, getting rid of Mount was kneejerk.

    Looks like he will getting some decent points over CHE's good fixtures.

    1. GoonerSteve
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I just bought him in for Zaha. Feels like a solid transfer.

    2. Balls of Steel
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Same boat , regretting it already and want him back for Chelsea's kind run of fixtures.

  5. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    7 years, 1 month ago

    How’s this looking for next week (assuming no mid week injuries)? Anything you would change - 0.2 m in bank

    Pope
    TAA Van Dijk Otamendi
    Salah (c) Sterling De Bruyne Mount Cantwell
    Haller Pukki

    McGovern Greenwood Diop Rico

    1. drughi
      7 years, 1 month ago

      looking filthy good

    2. Flynny
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Looks v good to me mate

    3. KunDogan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Gtg

    4. DontPiqueTooSoon
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I have v.similar squad. I am tempted to stick with Sterling (C). He has been rested, underlying stats still good. I could see him terrorising Everton next Saturday evening. (I have said this the past two weeks though...so perhaps ignore me!).

    5. Balls of Steel
      7 years, 1 month ago

      That's a daacent lineup for next week!

    6. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Haller > Abraham maybe

      1. dunas_dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks. For -4?

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

    This is shaping up to be potentially the most hilarious year of PL football since God knows how long

    1. Bobby Digital
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Hilarious in a good way

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

        If you're not a Arsenal/Chelsea/Man Utd/Spurs fan

        1. Bobby Digital
          7 years, 1 month ago

          I'm a fan of football

        2. Konstaapeli
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Wouldn't put it past them all to miss out on CL places.

        3. Nightcrawler
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Ars done okay in hindsight. Only 1 defeat good europa start and in top 4

  7. BIind Moth
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Have exact funds for Barnes > Abraham. How long do you think I can wait before pulling the trigger? Looks like he's still rising fast.

    1. OldBenKenobi
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Just keep and eye on it and pull the trigger as late as possible

  8. Flynny
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Hi...please can I have advice on what to do here? 2ft. 0mitb. Want to bring in abraham.

    Who goes - haller or barnes?

    Exact cash for barnes and digne to ota and abraham.....

    Pope
    Vvd digne guilbert soy rico
    Salah sterling kdb James cantwell

    Thanks

    1. drughi
      7 years, 1 month ago

      wouldnt think twice about those moves

    2. Max City
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Good move

    3. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Good moves- go for it- need to get Ota tonight as price looks like will rise

    4. Balls of Steel
      7 years, 1 month ago

      nice swithes

      1. Flynny
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks guys.

        Will hit the button tonight prob.

        Got wildcard to fall back on if injuries strike....

  9. Warby84
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Digne got an assist last year at the Etihad when I benched him, surely worth playing...

    1. ZimZalabim
      7 years, 1 month ago

      def all results repeat themselves

    2. Brosstan
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Stick him last on the bench. Absolute mauling incoming to cement Silva as the first manager to be sacked

      1. how now brown cow
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Watford ex-boss says hello.

      2. Amey
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Silva needed at Watford anyways 😉

    3. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      7 years, 1 month ago

      All it takes is one DFK, one corner, one shot, one cross for him to get points - he’s well worth sticking with

      Remember there was a clamour for Silva’s head just before they went on that epic run last season too

      City will probably win, but Digne could easily get points - then has a few decent fixs after that

      1. EMBOLOFAN
        7 years, 1 month ago

        here he is

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

        This

  10. ZimZalabim
    7 years, 1 month ago

    should i do the simple haller to tammy for free move

    or

    Mcginn, Digne and Haller to Son, Lundstram and Greenwood for -4

    1. KunDogan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      7 years, 1 month ago

      First one

    2. EMBOLOFAN
      7 years, 1 month ago

      first one

      id rather have digne mcginn and haller tbh

    3. DontPiqueTooSoon
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Tammy.

      Digne value is dropping & Son/Lundstram rising so if funds are needed then should pull triggers soon.

  11. fgdu
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Salah + Wilson + 0.2m ITB vs Mane + Firmino

    1. Max City
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      7 years, 1 month ago

      The 2nd..

      1. fgdu
        7 years, 1 month ago

        yeah that's what I thought

  12. Amey
    7 years, 1 month ago

    I have a Green arrow from 1.06m to 1.054m 😀

    1. Sgt Frank Drebin
      7 years, 1 month ago

      It's something...

      1. Amey
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Is it 😀
        Rival had brilliant one, 87
        I'm fuming

    2. Brosstan
      7 years, 1 month ago

      You will finish top 1m by the end of the season 🙂

      1. Amey
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Amen
        😀

  13. Nightf0x
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Stelring to son ? Y or n

    1. Butcher
      7 years, 1 month ago

      N

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

      Not for me

    3. EMBOLOFAN
      7 years, 1 month ago

      dont see any reason to personally

    4. Bobby Digital
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Thinking about it... Son has SOU and City has eve. Pep could also pick the same team as they mauled Watford.

      1. Balls of Steel
        7 years, 1 month ago

        No i think Sterling will start after his rest, Everton away somewhat more difficult than Watford at home

    5. SB007
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

    6. DontPiqueTooSoon
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Nope. Sterling is rested and playing in a City team vs a shaky Everton defence. Son plays for Spurs.

  14. EMBOLOFAN
    7 years, 1 month ago

    hi all. is otamendi likely to double rise this week? thanks

    1. Chenku╰☆╮
      7 years, 1 month ago

      he might yes..

      1. EMBOLOFAN
        7 years, 1 month ago

        trying to figure out whether im likely to be priced out if i wait a week...

    2. Amey
      7 years, 1 month ago

      If there is anyone it's him imo.
      Digne/United/Zinchenko doing bad & him being easier switch with ££ constraints so ...

      1. EMBOLOFAN
        7 years, 1 month ago

        cheers amey

    3. DontPiqueTooSoon
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I think he will. A lot of Zinck & Digne owners would be making the move to Ota I think.

  15. Butcher
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Mount or Maddison? Have Tammy.

    1. OldBenKenobi
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Mount

    2. Balls of Steel
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Mason

    3. DontPiqueTooSoon
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Mount

  16. LIARS POKER
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Sterling & Aurier or Son & TAA on wildcard?

    1. OldBenKenobi
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Son and TAA

      1. Balls of Steel
        7 years, 1 month ago

        this

    2. DontPiqueTooSoon
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Sterling & Aurier

  17. Eleven Hag
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Why Auba, Why did u have to pass on the penalty 🙁

    1. how now brown cow
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Because he is a complete and utter ****

      1. Eleven Hag
        7 years, 1 month ago

        imagine if pepe missed it considering the game situation

      2. Bobby Digital
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Dicks don't pass penalties

    2. ZimZalabim
      7 years, 1 month ago

      got his priorities all wrong trying to give new team mates goals and being a nice guy instead of being obsessed with the golden boot

      Ridiculous

      1. Eleven Hag
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Not about the golden boot, it wasnt like arsenl were 3 or 4 goals up to make a decision like that

    3. Balls of Steel
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Plonker!!! and a yellow for good measure 🙁

  18. Legohair
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Digne to?
    A. Pereira
    B. Azpi
    C. Aurier

    1. Eleven Hag
      7 years, 1 month ago

      TAA or Ota

      1. Legohair
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I have taa and ota

        1. Eleven Hag
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Then Soy is the best as the third def

    2. Butcher
      7 years, 1 month ago

      C

    3. 404_FC

    Would appreciate some advice please. Willing to take a hit. 2ft currently.
    Adrian (non playing)
    Maguire digna mina lund Kelly
    Salah sterling bsilva mount dendon
    Kun king wickham

    Which is better?

    A- Digna+Mina--> Aurier+ Soyuncu. No hit
    B- Digna+Mina+Bsilva--> Ota+Soyuncu+Son -4 (currently what I'm leading toward)
    C- Just Digna/Mina-->Aurier/soyuncu and bank the transfer
    D-other. Please suggest

    1. Balls of Steel

  21. The_Fish
    7 years, 1 month ago

    83 for the week, from 750k to 150k... well chuffed with that. Especially after last week.

    1. Markus
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Wow well done. That would have been me had I picked right vc but shows the tight margins, hopefully rise the ranks a bit anyway which given at 2pm Saturday I thought I was looking at 9 players isn't too bad

  22. OldBenKenobi
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Any advice?
    I’m willing to take up to a -8 if necessary

    Pope
    TAA Digne Zinchenko
    Salah KDB Mount James
    Aguero Pukki Barnes

    Button Cantwell Hanley Lundstram

    1FT 0.0ITB

    1. The_Fish
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Definitely don't need a -8.

      James, Barnes and Zinchenko your biggest concerns that need addressing, but not so bad that you'd need to hit for them.

      1. OldBenKenobi
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I just feel dumping Zinchenko, Digne and Barnes may be the way I go.

        Must admit a hit for Barnes is maybe bad but would likely get Tammy in for him

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

      Just Zinc to Ota?

    3. DontPiqueTooSoon
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Zinc to Ota
      Barnes to Tammy

  23. Alli
    7 years, 1 month ago

    A) Zinc > Lundstram/Otamendi
    B) Zinc, Haller > Lundstram, Tammy/Wilson
    C) Digne, Haller > Rico, Firmino
    D) Zinc, Sterling, Haller > Lundstram, Bilva, Kun (-4)

    Heaton
    VVD - Zinchenko - Diop
    Salah - Sterling - KDB - Cantwell - Mount
    Pukki - Haller

    Ryan - Digne - Greenwood - Dunk

  24. BENOIT
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Salah haas to go...

    Just wish we knew more about Mane and his injury.

    1. Kroos Kontrol
      7 years, 1 month ago

      50 points in 6 games is hardly "has to go" form.

    2. The_Fish
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Why does he have to go?

    3. Whats the Huth
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Why

    4. DontPiqueTooSoon
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Salah will outscore Mane

  25. Kroos Kontrol
    7 years, 1 month ago

    93 points. 😀 Kind of weird to WC right after that, but it is what it is. Really wanted to get a Chelsea attacker and Son for those upcoming fixtures.

    1. Markus
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Best place to wc from. Huge score!

      1. Kroos Kontrol
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah I think I went from 997k to

        1. Konstaapeli
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Oblivion?

    2. Whats the Huth
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Why would you wc?

    3. Balls of Steel
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Don't think you need to WC with that team!

  26. fgdu
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Rate my no-sterling wild card

    Pope
    TAA Otamendi Soyuncu Rico Lundstram
    Mane Son KdB Mount Cantwell
    Firmino Pukki Abraham

    1. The_Fish
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Needs Sterling

      1. fgdu
        7 years, 1 month ago

        haha nice

    2. Max City
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I would have an exact same team if I WCed

    3. Balls of Steel
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Great team

  27. BIind Moth
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Maybe it's looking too far ahead, but are people keeping Mane / Salah for their tough fixtures? (GW9-G12)

    We all know they're fixture proof, but can you see many hauls in those fixtures?

    1. Kroos Kontrol

      I was going to go Mane, but now thinking Firmino maybe.

      They are way too consistent with their returns (2 goals or more in the last 10 games?), and the front 3 are always involved in the goals.

      Whoever you get is pretty likely to blank as well the odd game

      Mane and Salah could get double figures against anybody so definitely keeping.

      Cheaper Bobby might be the answer.

      I don't really want to but am happy with the other options I have being reasonable value, so probably gonna tough it out unless pepe becomes a serious option for son/pepe/kdb triple

      Fixtures irrelevant when it comes to Liverpool, they always score goals, end of!

      You need one of Salah or Mane. Liverpool can put several goals past any team in the league.

    Anything wrong with these transfers for a - 4?

    Digne > TAA
    Emerson > Lundstram or Soyuncu
    Haller > Tammy

    Could wait a week for Tammy tho if I go Lundstram as gives 0.3m cushion for price changes. Current team below.

    Pope Button
    Robbo Ota Digne* Emerson* Rico
    KDB Salah Mount Cantwell DLuiz
    Aguero Pukki Haller*

    Do we think That Tomori has done enough to cement his place?

    Christensen also injured and he's probably ahead of Zouma. Looking for a Zinchenko replacement.

    1. Sting

      yep Tomori looks the best of the bunch currently

    2. Chenku╰☆╮

      with that defense do you really think it is worth the risk of a rotation risk?

    3. Kroos Kontrol

      Seems pretty nailed on, best defender right now. Will get some amount of rotation given his age, but it's his place.

      Not sure if he's the best option however with Chelsea's defence. Leicester/Burnley looking more solid - with defenders looking more secure.

      At some point Chelsea will start to keep a few clean sheets and I think Tomori is great value pick...they have a nice run of fixtures also

    Do we think Aguero is still going to be subbed after 60 minutes? Didn't happen against Watford but maybe it was because of this unusual situation (I mean the score...) + 1 sub was already used for Mendy who wasn't fully fit

      Hard to second guess Pep but if Jesus plays midweek expect Kun to start on weekend not sure about how many minutes

      1. Sgt Frank Drebin
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah I think he starts vs Everton but then we have to ask the question if Agueros points * 2/3 > Sterling's points - a now show every 7 fixtures
