The 3.5% of Fantasy Premier League managers invested in Callum Hudson-Odoi (£6.0m) were left in the lurch by Frank Lampard’s latest team sheet.

After an assist in each of his last three league outings, the exciting winger has been named on the bench for the first time since Gameweek 7.

Hudson-Odoi has been replaced int he starting line-up by Christian Pulisic (£7.1m) after the American himself displayed strong form of late.

It looks as if Lampard has lined his troops up in a 4-3-3 formation for the trip to Burnley, which might be a little bit discouraging for owners of Mason Mount (£6.9m), although he does start.

It is probable that the budget midfielder will be deployed in the central midfield trio alongside Jorginho (£5.1m) and Mateo Kovačić (£5.3m), having spent much of this season in attacking midfield.

Tammy Abraham (£7.8m) leads the line, of course, flanked by Pulisic and Willian (£7.0m).

Meanwhile, Burnley are missing Chris Wood (£6.2m) to injury, with Jay Rodriguez (£5.7m) coming into the side to replace him alongside Ashley Barnes (£6.4m).

Burnley XI: Pope; Pieters, Mee, Tarkowski, Lowton; McNeil, Westwood, Cork, Hendrick; A Barnes, Rodriguez.

Chelsea XI: Kepa; Alonso, Tomori, Zouma, Azpilicueta; Mount, Jorginho, Kovačić; Willian, Abraham, Pulisic.

    Around what minute has Lampard substituted his attackers? Really hope CHO can get 20+ mins

    1. Peter Ouch
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Pulicic won't last too long in a rainy Burnley home game

    2. Ask Yourself
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Probably getting about that

  2. Henryyy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Do you think Chilwell is worth the 0.7m over Soy?

    1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      He did get 13 points more

    2. Peter Ouch
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Soy has no attacking threat.
      I think he deserves it

    3. Will Kane
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Definitely

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

      Yes

  3. John Colby (C)
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    6 years, 9 months ago

    Would someone please explain to me why Silva was awarded the KDB goal? So the PL awards an ‘offside’ goal and undermines the referee on-field decision and VAR. Absolutely fuming!!!!!

    1. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Different bodies coming to different conclusions because they require different standards of evidence, I think.

      1. John Colby (C)
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Well said - seriously peeved. There is no absolute clear-cut evidence that it’s Silva’s goal and even though (The PL) they’ve said it’s his goal they’re admitting it’s an offside goal and undermine the ref and the VAR system. Not fair at all. Just because Silva ‘thinks’ he scored it because he’s a nice chap it shouldn’t have been overturned. Really infuriating.

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Silva G should have meant Sterling offside...

      Expect them to be nothing but consistently inconsistent.

    3. Surfeit of Lampteys
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Not the referees decision but the var review yes. It's mad. If it's Silva's goal, it's offside. Guess they just thought well it doesn't really make much difference. Can't disallow the goal now and wasn't crucial.

    4. Party time
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Goal was always for Dilva but someone in the var room had Dilva & had to give it to kdb until fulltime 😉

  4. OneDennisBergkamp

    Late to the discussion I know, but I am fed up with this Aguero benching bullsh*t yet again. Guarantee if I take him out he will start and score 4 next weekend now. Seriously fed up of this season already.

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

      alwayyyys a risk owning city players man, you should've thought that.

    2. Pacer.
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Just stop buying Aguero then

    3. OneDennisBergkamp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Of course, but even this very website had him in the scout picks, tipped him as the least chance of being rested out of the big hitters and even had him the top pick in the Captain Sensible article.

      Seriously feel like I cannot do anything right at the moment. Whats more is I went for Wilson over Vardy 2 weeks ago and look how that has gone too.

    4. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      High risk, high reward with City assets I guess

    5. LE CHARO
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Tough situation to be in, I got him in GW7 and he's been benched 3 out of 4 times. He must go now, but after Southampton's performance yesterday, if he starts that game there's no way he doesn't haul. I feel kinda stuck with him.

  5. sunzip14
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Tammy, Mount, Tomori need 25 from 3, Let's go!

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Go Tammy!

  6. Tonyawesome69

    2. Tonyawesome69

      or boly instead of soy

      1. JIMMY TUGGINS
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Boly is injured, might be a broken ankle.

    3. jayzico

      I'm bringing him in (to fund maddy > mane)

  7. jdp219

    So Fernandinho RC means Otamendi might actually play next weekend? Maybe?

    1. Pukki Party
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Banned for cup only

      1. jdp219
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Ah. All right, then. Getting rid of Ota it is.

    2. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      I think he’ll serve the ban in the cup midweek.

    3. Clintymints
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      His ban will be for the cup game midweek though, right?

  8. dshv
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Never too late to join the vardy’s party ???

    1. Gregor

      Nope.

    3. FPL Scoop

      I’m giving it a week, doing wilson to Jimenez after tmr and then next week aguero to Vardy

    4. dshv
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Thanks guys did it

      Maddison and callum to vardy and yarmo

      What do u think ?

      1. FPL Scoop
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Risky given the week isn’t over and there’s midweeks

        1. dshv
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          Think vardy will rise..

  9. Brosstan

    Fat fraud

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Just came back from a really serious injury it was never going to happen

  10. sunzip14
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Absolutely awful from Sheffield in the last 20 mins. In a 1-1 scoreline, they send no one to attack in a free kick around 80 min mark and a corner around 87'. Needed 1 more save from Roberto to get save point 😛

  11. Bob_the_builder
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Kun's benching has become quite the nuisance. Torn at the moment whether to take him out or take one final chance against Soton.

    1. sunzip14
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      bought him for a -4 by selling Kane. Almost certain to lose .2 by next game. Think we need to take one more chance!

      1. Bob_the_builder
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        The general consensus here is that if he plays midweek then he's not starting again. Let's see. One more chance it is then.

  12. jayzico
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Did C.Wilson get injured?

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      No but he injured everyone’s day who had to watch him

    2. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      May as well have

    3. jayzico
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      ha cheers. he's coming in then

  13. Says
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    I really hate the negative points for own goals rule. You can't account for it, and they're often either unavoidable or unlucky consequences of being in the right place trying to do the right thing.

    1. jdp219
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      I've always thought the own goal should only affect the player responsible. Not the keeper. I mean, I get it, but that's the part that frustrates me with OGs.

  14. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Watch Wilson wreck havoc vs Man Utd as I transfer him out. You’re welcome!

  15. theodosios
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Connolly with 2 assists out of BAPS...Maybe he wasn't so good but we've seen much worse performances getting bonus in the end...

    1. Ask Yourself
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      His two assists were fouls

      1. Ask Yourself
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Or getting fouled

      2. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Doesn't matter, assist is an assist

        1. theodosios
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          this

        2. Ask Yourself
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          No kidding. Just means that they aren’t as well rewarded in BPS because it’s a fantasy assist and therefore wasn’t supplemented by a key pass or Big chance created. Lucky to get the assist points at all really but there we go

    2. Napoleon IV
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      he must have only kicked the ball those two times

  16. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Wilson still outscores Aguero since I got him on WC lmaoo

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      and Pepe outscores Mahrez since KDB injury 😀

      1. JIMMY TUGGINS
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Mahrez has scored 13 points in 2 weeks for me, I'll take it.

        1. HashAttack
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          same here - Rico sub both times. Would be happy to keep if his price wasn't going down so quickly

          1. JIMMY TUGGINS
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 9 months ago

            Hopefully we can see what happens in the cup game before he drops.

  17. Slitherene
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Early thoughts on these moves, for a hit?

    Digne + C.Wilson ➡ Matip + Lacazette

    1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Don’t touch Matip

      1. Slitherene
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Why not?

  18. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Which max 4.5?

    A) Lascelles
    B) Willems
    C) Chambers
    D) Guilbert
    E) Janmaat

    1. Slitherene
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Lascelles

    2. Pigeon
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      I'd say Willems or Janmaat but Guilbert long term

  19. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    I held Trossard through his whole injury, and the light at the end of the tunnel was 4 points lol. Ah well, he's off for Sterling I think

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      you have one more good fixture, keep he will start next week for sure. An assist is not bad for a bench start

    2. Ask Yourself
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      He’s got norwich at home next and just set up the winning goal getting minutes from the bench why would you sell?

      1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Because Sterling captained vs Southampton

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          just captain kdb, its a bad move

          1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 9 months ago

            I'm already on kdb, but I can tell it's going to be an absolute massacre and I feel huge hauls in that game. Depending on midweek performance and lineups it's very tempting

    3. JIMMY TUGGINS
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      He could the highest scoring player of the week next game.

      1. JIMMY TUGGINS
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        could be*

      2. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        I mean, so could some tosspot like Wood

        1. JIMMY TUGGINS
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          Hopefully it's the Trosspot, I might get him in.

          1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
            • 9 Years
            6 years, 9 months ago

            For one game? Awful fixtures

            1. JIMMY TUGGINS
              • 7 Years
              6 years, 9 months ago

              Maybe two, easy fixture at Old Trafford after Norwich.

  20. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    All this horrific season needs now is Barnes G, 1-0 FT.

  21. Super Nashwan
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    If Fernandinho is injured will otamendi play next week?

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

      Midweek*

    2. Ask Yourself
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      I guess lol but he isn’t injured

      1. Super Nashwan
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Suspended I mean

        1. Ask Yourself
          • 10 Years
          6 years, 9 months ago

          Only misses mid week. Ota is second choice now and will remain so for the weekend whilst Ferna gets some well earned rest

  22. Will Kane
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Just sold Wilson. Felt good, had him since the start have wanted to get rid of him for weeks. Rancid stats and I think that's 3 games in a row Bournemouth have failed to score.

    1. Slitherene
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Will Kane score, though?

  23. FOO FIGHTER
    • 6 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Mount to CHO = fail?

    Unless Mount blanks.

    1. Blunder fc
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Felt too risky for a sideways move when everyone was doing it earlier in the week

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 9 months ago

        Yeah, I held 🙂

  24. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Targett or Janmaat or Lascelles

  25. Pedram
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 9 months ago

    Damn Digne own goal, that was harsh for owners who still had faith in him.

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      His fixtures are sh*te. Get rid.

    2. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 9 months ago

      Swap to Mendy looks appealing

  26. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    • 9 Years

    RP:

    Still CHO or find funds to get Mount? Or go for Tielemans but no Chelsea attack?

    Thanks

  27. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
    • 9 Years

    Dearly hope CHO doesn't cameo, need Soyuncu pointage

    1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…

      If comes on probably scores more than 6

    Heaton

  29. gooberman

    Playing the fan team game and have Silva and no KDB or Mendy. Idiots aren't changing the points so original decision is standing. In FPL I have KDB (C) and Mendy but no Silva but FPL have changed it. Absolutely shafted twice.
