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.

    Barnes giving out souvenirs now.

    Pulisic is so dangerous

    1. Rainer

      Shoots on sight!

  3. jia you

    Not the first time I've said that McNeil is a real player! He is...

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

      He's very good.

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

        Problem is his price bracket. If he was 5.0 or 5.5 he'd be more appealing.

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

          Oh yeah, Burnley don't score enough goals too, much better options, rate him as a player more than an FPL asset.

    Who would you drop:

    A. Soy or
    B. Tomo

    (For Kelly) to get in Vardy (C Wilson)? Got Mount and Abe so leaning toward Tomo... thoughts?

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Tomo

      1. Limbo
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Ta. Yeah it’s my gut too. Hate 50/50 transfers.

    2. 007 [RoboKlopp]

      In the same boat, still cant decide

      1. Limbo
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Just got to go with it. Very close either way.

  5. have you seen cyan
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Tammy the fraud, exposed at long last

  6. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy

    Gonna wait on Kun. If he plays big minutes in week its a sell.

    1. The Big Fella
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      I have a great wildcard squad I can only do if I sell him tonight. I agree though, if he plays midweek, which he will, then he won't be starting next week. I think I'd rather cash in

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

        May take some drops and lose some rises but hey ho. He is only a Jesus injury from starting every game

        1. The Big Fella
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Yes but I literally won't be able to afford it. I know what you mean though. If I had a buffer of a few hundred thousand I would wait until Tuesday but I don't and Vardy is rising. That's an injury that may or may not come and if it does, I would just get him back in

    2. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Selling anyway regardless.

      If he hauls against Southampton then so be it.

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

        I understand it, its a frustrating business

      2. The Big Fella
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Yes, this is my view. The amount of points he hauls averaged over the last few GWs he hasn't played will not be that much and I am not keeping a 12m player for a double figure haul every 3-4 weeks and nothing inbetween

  7. Ze_Austin

    Smooth: Connolly, Janmaat and CHO in for -8

    Rough: Connolly and Janmaat on the bench

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years

      Son>KDB
      Kane>Vardy
      Ota>TAA

      Looking good so far 😛 (-4)

    2. Rainer

      CHO too... 🙁

  8. KAPO KANE
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Best pick:

    A) CHO
    B) Tielemans
    C) Mount

    1. 007 [RoboKlopp]
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

    Can't wait to see Pulisic at the Euros. Croatia have got a real x factor player there

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

      Aye sure 😉

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

        Rakitic - Kovacic
        Perisic - Modric - Pulisic
        Mandzukic

        Potential dark horse imo

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

          He's American though

    2. AzzaroMax99
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      LOL

    3. Rainer
      • 7 Years

      Not bad.

      Not good but not bad.

    Chelsea triple up might be a bit old now..

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

      Never bought into it to be honest . Abraham out of my team in 2 gws

    2. *sigh*
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Struggling to see better value for those prices especially if you got them early.

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

        Yeah that's why I have Tammy and Mount.. Can't see any better.

    3. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      been saying it since season start that Tammy is Championship level. You guys remember when he was with Swansea in the PL. Just LOL, he is a tap in merchant at best.
      Excels in the champiosnhip but can never cut it in the PL. Bats is far better

  11. The Yorkshire Pirlo
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Right, so Wilson, Abraham, Mount our for a -4.

    Best options?

    1. *sigh*

    2. clempro

    If Tammy wasn’t English he’d be playing in the Romanian 2nd division.

    Tammy may still get goals but he was never going to keep up with his form of weeks ago...

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

    1. Limbo
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Would have to drop Mount. Which is a knee jerk. Can’t have them both (Mane/KDB/Raz)
