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.

    Genuinely feel sorry to those with Richarlison one week punt. And captained!

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

      I warned against it... Learned from experience xD Captained last season at home vs FUL. Did not go well.

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

      Didn’t captain but worth a shot! Am considering Alli, Son or Moura now 🙂

      Went with 2-week punt and didn't captain. Just didn't have that much faith in him or Everton. Memories of Wilson's blank vs Norwich as well.

    What do we reckon with the City v Chelsea game...lots of goals?

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

      Probably.

      Hope for like 3-2 chelsea tbh. Tammy Mount KDB the highest scorers

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

        I don't have Mount, but have the other two. I want to see how KDB does too, as I have considered taking him out. Will see

    2. BrutalLogiC
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      More Feb 0-0 than Feb 6-0

  3. pingissimus
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Comedy hit to get rid of Cantwell and Kane both of whom would have started provided Mount doesn’t get on. Oh well.

  4. bluetiger

    Sitting at around 40k with 2FTs - currently playing 3-4-3 most weeks but thinking about a restructure so I can bring in Son and Pulisic. Would you:

    A) Auba > Kane, one more week to work our best spurs midfielder
    B) Auba/ Dendonker/ Mount > Son/ Pulisic/ Greenwood

    Pope
    TAA/ Soy/ Lundstram
    KDB/ Mané/ Mount/ Maddison (Dendonker)
    Auba/ Vardy/ Abraham

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

      I'd get Auba out asap.

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

        Oh, he’s going!

    2. JustPark
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Not sure about Mount>Pulisic but rest looking good.

    3. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      B but no reason to do the Mount to Pulisic transfer for a hit

    4. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Sideways cheeky move: TAA to Robbo?

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

        Happy with TAA, think it’s a case of pick one of them and stick with them (unless you plan to double up, which I don’t)

  5. FC Hakkebøf
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    A) Tomori to Robbo
    B) Kelly to Chilwell / Mendy
    C) Hayden to Perez
    D) Mount to Martial/Pulisic/Maddison

    Current team:
    Gazza
    TAA Soy Tomori
    Mane KDB Son Mount
    Vardy Abraham Jimenez
    ___
    Button; Lundstram Hayden Kelly

    2 FT 2.5 ITB

  6. Wild Rover
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    This could be painful, I rage transferred Aguero and Sterling for a hit last weekend 😀

    Could be bad for those who benched Chelsea attack for Lundstram

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

      I brought in Pulisic ahead of schedule.

      1. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Me too. Good luck to us

  7. Longlatini

    1. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years

      Hard to see a scenario where he doesn't come on.

      Unless 3 defensive injures or Tammy.

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

        Unlikely I know unfortunately!

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

    Mount, Maddison and TAA > Pulisic, Son and Soy for -4?

    Will have a double Leicester defence with Pereira too.

    60(-4) with Tammy KDB Lundstram to go.
    Did pathetic transfers this gw feeling like i might get away with it 😮
    Transfers were :
    Raz CHO >> Salah Tielemans (-4)

    OR risen up to 251k now from 364k though

    1. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      61 (-4) for me with Tammy, Lunds, Mount if he comes on and Willems autosub points to come.

      Oh dear 😆

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

          • 6 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          We’re at similar ORs now bro. Setting yourself up for a decent season I’d say.

          (Hope my name change hasn’t confused things too much!)

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      If Rashford is doing the business I may get the same total points

  11. BrutalLogiC
    • 8 Years

    No keeper
    No Mount

    Ouchies

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

      1. DantheManinaPan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years

      • Amey
        • 5 Years

            4 years, 6 months ago

            Yeah, true story that.

            Also, mate, what were we saying about Everton yesterday hahahaha. Good lord.

            • 14 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

        3. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Yep, gone for me

      • Don Kloppeone
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        So chances of City staying quiet in this match look next to zero!

        So long green arrow it was nice to see you for a bit!

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Huh? Haven’t they just kicked off?

          1. Don Kloppeone
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Just based on line ups. They’ll be baying for blood!

            1. Salah’s Sonnet
              • 12 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              Can bay all they want, plenty of players outperforming them

              1. Don Kloppeone
                • 6 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

                Here’s to hoping. I have no MCI and currently only Tammy on the pitch (Mount watching from the bench)

      • Party time
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Salah owners. What are we doing?? Keep or Sell (I have Mané)

          1. Salah’s Sonnet
            • 12 Years

            Reckon i have to sell

            1. Party time
                4 years, 6 months ago

                Brighton up next. I am just confused right now

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

              I will stubbornly keep. He is a great differential in ml

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

            Getting rid of ManCity assets seems reasonable, dunno what Pep willl do next.

          3. Piggs Boson
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Chelsea keeping a man on Rodri at all times. You could see Abraham pass him off to someone else to mark as he pushed up.

            Clever girl.

              KDB easily season keeper when fit.

            • 7 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            City need to shoot more often in these types of games against the better sides, IMO. Once they get the first goal they can take all of these teams apart.

            Auba to Vardy is something I want to do NOW. But I have to take one of my existing LEI players out - either Maddison, Soyuncu, or Tielemans. Is this worth the -4, and how do I bring in?
