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.

    Looks like Dyche's don't fancy Wood

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)

      His wood is sore.

        No use trying to use it then. Just go for the ointment.

  3. ZeBestee

    4 years, 7 months ago

    Wilson, sell or keep against United?

    If sell, who is the best option?

    1) Jimi
    2) Maupay
    3) Any other?

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Vardy

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

        Dont have enough cash for Vardy.

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

          Find it.

        2. Team Cruel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          I don't either but I'll find a way. And you should too if you like points

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

            Have Maddison, think Palace away is tough enough to have double Lei.

      I am off-loading but he will then scores ... never got the timing right owning Wilson

  4. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Why does Sterling have a goal to his name when David Silva scored??

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

      Coz he scored.

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

        Scored on 46'. First goal.

    2. Rainer

      They look alike, misunderstanding.

      1. Ask Yourself

        Bilva dislikes this

    3. Team Cruel

      Just checked Mark's team. Forget I asked

    4. Ask Yourself
      • 8 Years

      Why Does DCL have a goal to his name when we voted brexit?

      1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
        • 7 Years

        Haha this joke has peaked right here, no more boys

  5. Niho992

    Digne proved again that he is average fpl asset but awful player. He fits perfectly in this rubbish Everton side

  6. Eat my goal!

  7. FOO FIGHTER

    Boly has apparently picked up an injury in training yesterday,

    1. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      This week...

      1. Fpl Richie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Rico off bench so not too fussed

        1. Team Cruel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Disgusting casual

            • 5 Years

            Having a bench makes you a casual, lol

          2. Fpl Richie
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Guilty

    A great week to sell Digne! Shame it was for Webster.

    1. Ha.
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I did Digne to Rico to get funds for Vardy

      I’m giving myself a pat on the back

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

    Connolly 2 assista impressive .

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

      Trossard back, interesting to see if he starts next against Norwich.

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

      Doesn't sound like he had that good of a game..

  11. Kroos Kontrol
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Did a Sterling, Pukki, Son --> Aguero, CHO, Mane (-4) this last week.

    I can't begrudge the idea; but it's gone so wrong.... Could have easily been a Pukki + Son --> Vardy + Maddison

  12. Arteta
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    So this is how owning KDB feels like. The hype was unreal so 6 points is clearly an anticlimax. It's not a complete failure but just another unnecessary bottled captaincy is sooo frustrating...

    1. Ha.
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      He’s still outperformed Salah every week since I brought him in...think that will continue through to tomorrow

    2. Kroos Kontrol
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      He's a player who ticks over, will occasionally haul.

      Wouldn't say it's a bottled captaincy when Sterling is only on 11 (and normally if KdB gets an assist and Sterling gets the goal, KdB ends up getting the bonus)

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

      That 6 is my best captaincy score in 5 gameweeks

    4. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      That's definitely not a bottoled captaincy

  13. Ha.
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Lanzini stinking up my team

  14. LE CHARO
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Would you do Aguero and Cantwell to Vardy and Dilva, even if it means keeping the abominable picks that Wilson and Otamendi have been?

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

      Extremely good moves 😉

    2. tokara
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Wait n see who playing carling cup

    3. Murder On Zidanesfloor
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Nah. I'd get rid of the abominations first

      1. LE CHARO
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        It's just out of respect for his pedigree and because he's mainly a victim of the fraud that I haven't named Aguero among these abominations. Since I got him at 12.2m, his returns have been 4,2,0,1, which is equally horrendous, especially when I captain him.

    4. lamagica
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      downgrade ota to fund wilson to vardy?

      1. LE CHARO
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah that was my initial plan, but I would need to do that before price changes, so tonight at the latest, and if Aguero starts in the Carabao Cup, I'll have to take a hit to get rid of him, which I'd rather not do.

  15. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy

    Plenty of missed deadline Tammy cappers keeping quiet for now

    1. Rash

      Aguero cappers wishing it were them..

  16. Rash

    Maddison wilson to mane Connolly is mighty tempting

  17. Ajax Hamsterdam

    Chilwell worth the extra money over soy ?

    Thanks

  18. Chucky

    need tammy and mount to explode

    1. Syd.

      Literally?

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

      That would be inappropriate viewing especially when there’s no Wood

    3. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      There not playing Southampton!

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

    Hitting that "Transfer Out" button for Aguero is going to be impossible to do given his next fixture.

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

      Not if he plays midweek. Cant keep going though this.

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

      Doesn't he have an amazing record against Chelsea too?

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

        I remember his red card

    3. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      Thing is if pep wants him for CL and pool he’ll bench him

  20. Atimis

    Rico or Willems or other def for up to 4.8??

    1. twoplustwo

      Rico was good today

  21. Ha.

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)

    Dinnery saying Fernandinho suspended for gw11--not midweek--so maybe hang on to Ota?

    https://twitter.com/BenDinnery/status/1188124354212749315

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

      Lol no they’re playing Southampton in the cup. He was saying he wouldn’t have played Ferna in that game anyway

      1. jdp219
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I was going off later in the thread, not what Pep said. Still, I guess I should just wait and see instead of taking Dinnery at his wait.

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

          Dinnery knows injuries but he sure doesn’t know football

          1. jdp219
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            that's fair

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

      Fairly sure he’s wrong.

      Happened earlier in the season.

      1. jdp219
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah, the more I'm seeing/reading, the less I believe him. Should've known better.

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

        AMN was sent off in GW6 but was available for Carabao that midweek but was injured.

        Iirc.

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

      He isn't red flagged so that means he is available for GW11

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

        He should be flagged though in case that cup game gets postponed?

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

          Flagged if it gets postponed.

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

      BBC Sports, on the post-match article state that "Fernandinho will be back for the Liverpool clash'.

      Feels odd to omit the Southampton game from thst statement.

      Could it be due to two yellow cards rather than a straight red?

  23. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Is Connolly and Vardy a good enough swap for Wilson and Pukey. For free.

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Good moves

    2. FOO FIGHTER

      Yup

    3. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      For free it looks like a nice move even if classic points chasing.

  24. The 12th Man

    Towards the end of the week of course.

    Just feels wrong having Pope today.

      Doubt it

  29. Ógie

    It is like Burnley are trying to target Alonso's defensive frailties.

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

    It’s the GW for a Mee or Tark goal.
