Mount benched as Sterling and Aguero lead Man City attack

Mason Mount (£6.8m) finds himself on the Chelsea bench for the daunting visit to Manchester City this afternoon.

With a recent injury to Callum Hudson-Odoi (£5.8m) and Christian Pulisic (£7.4m) carrying a hip problem, it had been though that Mount might be afforded a start in the front-three.

However, Frank Lampard has named Pulisic and Willian (£7.1m) either side of Tammy Abraham (£8.0m).

In anticipation of Manchester City’s powerful attack, he has gone with a 4-3-3 formation featuring Jorginho (£5.1m), Mateo Kovačić (£5.3m) and N’Golo Kanté (£5.0m) in the midfield trio.

For the third match in a row, Emerson Palmieri (£5.5m) starts at left-back.

Meanwhile, Raheem Sterling (£12.0m) and Sergio Aguero (£12.0m) are both in Manchester City’s front-three, joined by Riyad Mahrez (£8.3m) in light of Bernardo Silva‘s (£7.9m) suspension.

For the first time since Gameweek 10, Benjamin Mendy (£5.8m) and Joao Cancelo (£5.3m) are named in the full-back positions while John Stones (£5.3m) and Fernandinho (£5.2m) are trusted in the middle of the defence.

Line-ups

Man City XI: Ederson; Mendy, Fernandinho, Stones, Cancelo; Rodrigo, D Silva, De Bruyne; Sterling, Aguero, Mahrez.

Chelsea XI: Kepa; Emerson, Tomori, Zouma, Azpilicueta; Kovacic, Jorginho, Kanté; Pulisic, Abraham, Willian.

    Which two should i get?
    A) Sterlin + Cantwell > Mane + Pulisic (have mount n tammy)
    B) sterlin + Kdb > Son + Mane

      Give it 2 hours.

  2. FDMS All Starz

    Is this worth a -4?

    Auba & Sterling & Nakamba —-> Son & Mane & Greenwood

  3. Pinturicchio10
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Think it might be time to get aggressive with fts again and take a hit. TAA out funds Son. Replace Fredricks with a player that is usable. Sounds about right. Full steam ahead 😀

    • It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years

      Please spare a thought to all of those who brought in Richarlison for a hit.

    • Tinmen
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Hi folks, is it worth -4 to swap Digne and KDB to Robbo and Son?

      1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Robbo? Liverpool don’t do CS this season in case you missed it

        1. Tinmen
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          That’s true. Tough one! Digne has to go

        2. Zimo
          • 5 Years

          • 7 Years

          Would you ditch KDB if he blanks again today? Son calling out with that haul

          1. Flynny
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

          2. Zimo
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            I ditched him for Richarlison. Such regrets.

            1. Zimo
              • 5 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              Getting in Willian now tho for West Ham mauling so is all good I suppose

          3. Rainer
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Son & Salah calling!

          4. Monkey Hanger
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            They played West Ham.

            1. Brosstan
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              And they play Bournemouth next

          5. F4L
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            never

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

            Think Im doing it regardless.. Son more attacking

          7. Railwayman
            • 11 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Yes. Maybe I will ditch him even if he scores 5-9 points.

        4. El Matador
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Mane up to 2 baps

        5. Rainer
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          3pm BPS look final.

          FFS back to being accurate 🙂

          1. Amey
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Booooooooo @ FPL
            Why only 1 bps for Jimenez ??
            I was used to 3 !!

        6. Nightf0x
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          What happened in lester pen, why they took my ryan save

          1. Zimo
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Cuz they don't like u

          2. Fred54
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Grab some coffee, we could be here all night.

            1. Fred54
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              Basically Maddison encroached into the area so the pen was re-taken, so it as if Ryan had never made the save and of course Vardy scored this time.

        7. Railwayman
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          -16 points when I switched Robbo for TAA in GW9 WC. Really annoying, since he was the better player until that moment, now he is a regular RB with corners, but costing huge 7.2

        8. korbendallas82
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Burnley defence looks better after putting Pieters on bench. Maby not the only reason.

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

            He had been making glaring errors all season.

            1. korbendallas82
              • 10 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              Good for Pope clean sheets.

        9. SouthCoastSaint
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          I’ll get the rough with the smooth started.

          Smooth: Son owner
          Rough: Ings assist, Maddison goal robbed, saints fan, captained Mane over Son and Vardy

          ☹️

          1. Top Lad Dakes.
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Those roughs aren't too bad.

          2. jia you
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            ...you own Son, your captain hauled and your mediocre team got an unexpected point! Party time you glass half empty fool 😉

          3. Monkey Hanger
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Good week then.

        10. EL tridente
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Sterling and McGinn to Martial and Son for a hit?

            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 15 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            If Sterling gets a yellow card.

        11. Zimo
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Where can we check who our opponents are for the cups?

            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 15 Years

            Need to qualify 1st.

        12. JamTart
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Ditched Sterling and took a hit to allow funds for a Robbo, Jimi and Martial triple swoop. So far looking okay for it, so please let Sterling be quiet!

          That palace goal though!

        13. Top Lad Dakes.
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Rather bring
          A) Pulisic
          B) Son
          C) Moura

          in for Mount, if he just cameos this game and Pulisic plays well again

        14. SkeletONv01
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          So 89, with KDB, Abraham, Mount and Ota to go....... :> Joking, but i think its a good GW for me, should be a bit above average, climb some ranks again. Hows yours folks? Salah didnt play :[ No one to cover from bench xD

          1. George Sillett
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Time for you to stop banging on about your score now .

            1. SkeletONv01
              • 6 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              Said im joking, should be around 60. With those players still..... Ota......

          2. El Matador
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            You're not on 89

          3. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Would you care if you did average?

        15. FDMS All Starz
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Is Perez worth it even if he gets hooked consistently around the 70th min?

          1. ZeBestee
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Not bad for 6.2.

          2. Twisted Saltergater
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            He’s my 8th attacker but played him this week. I think it might be useful to have a strong bench over Christmas.
