Tammy Abraham (£7.9m) starts a second game in less than three days for Chelsea in the Gameweek 16 lunchtime kick-off.

Recently the most-owned player in FPL, Abraham shed a horde of owners after picking up a hip injury on Champions League duty which ruled him out of Gameweek 14 last weekend.

The forward was back in the midweek Chelsea XI as he grabbed a 12-point haul, only to be substituted late on with a fresh knock.

Owners will be delighted to see Abraham start again today alongside his usual partners in crime Willian (£7.1m), Mason Mount (£6.6m) and Christian Pulisic (£7.5).

Popular budget defender Fikayo Tomori (£4.9m) is benched for the second Gameweek in a row as Andreas Christensen (£4.9m) earns consecutive starts in central defence. That could see the centre-back top the list of transfers out for Gameweek 17.

Reece James (£5.0m), who assisted Abraham’s header against Aston Villa in GW15, starts for a third time in four Gameweeks at right-back, increasing his chances of becoming a viable Fantasy asset.

Everton caretaker boss Duncan Ferguson appears to have reverted to a four-man backline, after Marco Silva had switched to a back three for his final games in charge of the Toffees.

Yerry Mina (£5.3m) misses out through injury, leaving Leighton Baines (£4.9m) as the only defender on the Everton bench.

Gylfi Sigurdsson (£7.4m) may be set to play a deeper role today as part of either a 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 system, with Morgan Schneiderlin (£4.4m) the only recognised defensive midfielder in Ferguson’s XI. The temporary manager could also be planning to use a 4-1-4-1 set-up.

Richarlison (£7.8m) had looked set to face off against James from a left-wing position, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£5.7m) starting up front.

However, Everton’s official team graphic suggests ‘Big Duncan’ could be going back to his roots with an old school 4-4-2.

Everton XI: Pickford; Digne, Keane, Holgate, Sidibe; Iwobi, Schneiderlin, Sigurdsson; Richarlison, Calvert-Lewin, Walcott.

Chelsea XI: Kepa; Azpilicueta, Zouma, Christensen, James; Kovacic, Kante; Pulisic, Mount, Willian; Abraham.

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

  16. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Trent bench is ok as long as:
    1) He stays there
    2) no liverpool cleanie
    3) Kelly CS

    1. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

    2. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      That would be ideal.

      Want TAA to stay on the bench and Mane to get a cameo

  17. Differentiator
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Liverpool BENCH ANALSIS

    Adrian, Mane, TAA, Origi, Jones, Elliott, Shaqiri

    If LFC are winning and they make 3 subs.... Maybe Elliott, Origi, and TAA?
    If LFC are losing and they make 3 subs.... Mane, TAA and Origi?

    1. Differentiator
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      nice typo LOL

    2. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

    3. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Can’t see him bringing Trent on if he’s not needed, probably be Shaq.

    4. Scotch Jock
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      So TAA and Origi, and either Elliott or Mane.

  18. Feloh
    • 9 Years

  20. Egg noodle
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Walcott used to be a regular fixture of the FF Scout Picks... What happened..

    1. Fudgy
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      He's still a very solid pick

  21. Boomerang V
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    OMG

    - Mané (c), TAA owner

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Should be ok if you have a good vc and bench.

  22. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Mount has to shoot there

  23. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

  24. Shark Team

    6 years, 7 months ago

    Mount very bad decisions whole game

  25. Unliklinho
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Pool to do terribly until Mane's brace from the bench

  26. Differentiator
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

  27. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Pulisic needs to bulk up

    Way too weak

    1. Fudgy
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

      Thought that. He's smaller than my 11 year old son.

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

      Everton are getting away with some silly fouls in his defence.

  28. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    Mount all fart no poo today.

  29. Brosstan
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 7 months ago

    No one in their right mind captained Mane anyway.

    1. Marvin.
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago

    2. XabiAlonso
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 7 months ago
