Hudson-Odoi benched as injured Wood misses out for Burnley

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.

    Pope 🙁

    Mount 🙂 somewhat

    Tammy 🙁

    1. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Tammy assisted.

  5. Ask Yourself
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Pope surely won’t keep his place will he?

    1. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Hart is even worse, not sure Dyche will trust Peacock-Farrell.

      1. Ask Yourself
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Northern Irish international keeper I think he’d be alright

        1. The Ejiptian King
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          I agree, I just don't think Dyche is the type to trust a younger player in goal, I mean he thought signing Hart was a good idea.

    2. ChelseaGuy

      It's just an off game for him
      He's a really good keeper

      Unsighted for the first and the second took a decent deflection.

    4. FPL.team
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    1. circusmonkey

      So who really shot Kennedy, and did they land on the moon?

      You what. They've won 2 of their last 4 and drew the other 2.

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years

      Ok

  13. Bees4Lyf
    • 7 Years

    Pope in goal :/

  14. Hy liverpool
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Tomori Wow

  15. Chucky
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Tomori plus bps

  16. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Brilliant Tomori.

  17. Syd.
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Tomori should get the 3 Baps for that tackle

  18. Ask Yourself
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Tomori world class tackle saves Chelsea CS

  19. GreennRed
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Is Otamendi dropped or rested cos he's not fully fit after injury?

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Impossible to know with Pep.

    2. Lev Yashin
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah.

    3. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Dropped because he's rubbish, might still come back in as Stones is rubbish too, both mistakes waiting to happen.

      1. GreennRed
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Clearly rubbish, good compared to me though! No more Terry, Carvahlo around though. Not many centre backs are great defenders.

    4. Syd.
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      He is a complete liability so probably dropped

  20. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Tomori is a great player.... well done Lamps for selling Luiz to Arsenal

  21. Lev Yashin
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Tomori took the leg before the ball there.

  22. Bees4Lyf
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Ota to Tomori gotta be done me thinks

  23. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 14 Years

    Alonso subbed

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

      Lucky bleeding owners

  24. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    10 bonus for that tackle

  25. Chucky
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Alonso CS locked

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Lampard waited for 60 mins. What a guy.

  26. Dreaming of glory
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Otamendi not playing and lowton before Rico on bench is the only drawback in a decent enough day today

  27. g40steve
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Alonso off

  28. Hy liverpool
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Alonso off

  29. Ógie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Not too bad Alonso cs banked anyway.

  30. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Emerson far from match fit, Lampi is saving Alonso here and giving playing time to the youngster

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Reece is better than Alonso and Emerson
