The second of Aston Villa’s two Double Gameweek 30+ fixtures kicks off at 16:15 BST, with Chelsea the visitors to the Midlands.

The Villans are unchanged from the side that drew 0-0 with Sheffield United in midweek, meaning that the ‘out of position’ and misclassified Fantasy Premier League midfielder Keinan Davis (£4.3m) once again leads the line for the hosts.

Jack Grealish (£6.4m), the most-bought FPL asset of the current Gameweek, is deployed on the left flank once more.

Frank Lampard has made four changes from the last starting XI he named in the Premier League, although that of course was way back in March.

Andreas Christensen (£4.8m), N’Golo Kante (£5.0m) and Mateo Kovacic (£5.3m) are recalled, while the fit-again Ruben Loftus-Cheek (£6.3m) makes his first appearance of the season.

Kurt Zouma (£4.7m), Billy Gilmour (£4.5m), Ross Barkley (£5.7m) and Pedro (£6.8m) drop out.

With Reece James (£5.1m) only among the substitutes, Marcos Alonso (£6.2m) gets his fourth straight league start – the premium FPL defender hasn’t blanked in any of his starts this season.

Tammy Abraham (£7.5m) and Christian Pulisic (£6.9m) also have to be content with places on the bench, as Oliver Giroud (£6.6m) and the soon-to-be out-of-contract Willian (£7.0m) retain their places in Lampard’s side.


Aston Villa XI: Nyland; Konsa Ngoyo, Mings, Hause, Targett; Hourihane, Douglas Luiz, McGinn; El Ghazi, Davis, Grealish.

Chelsea XI: Arrizabalaga; Azpilicueta, Rüdiger, Christensen, Alonso; Loftus-Cheek, Kanté, Kovacic; Willian, Giroud, Mount.

  3. Dreaming of glory

    WC gtg?

    Button - Martinez (if Leno out)
    TAA - Doherty - lascelles - saiss - Jack Robinson
    Mane - Kdb - son - Fernandes - guen
    Rashford - jiminez - Calvert lewin

    1. GREEN IS GOOD
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Wtf that's identical to mine apart from the gk

  4. FPL Marc
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Too many FH31 options. Currently on:

    De Gea
    TAA - Saiss - Lascelles
    Salah - Son - Fernandes - (A)
    Vardy - Jimenez - (B)

    (A) is Alli, Bergwijn, Martial, Traore or Richarlison
    (B) is Jota, Rashford or Calvert-Lewin

    Then again, what about getting both Salah AND Mane?!?!

    1. Wirtzle Gummidge
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I have Salah and Mane in mine

  5. Amey
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Lascelles first on bench has outscored 6 of my players 😀

  6. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    I totally forgot that I've got two beautiful sons in this game. Come on Jack and Matt, do me proud lads

  7. Lemongrab
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Who would you keep for the rest of the season, Sarr or Barnes?

    1. Greek Freak
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Sarr

    2. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      S

    3. Lemongrab
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Sarr it is!

    4. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Sarr

  8. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Time for another punt to pay off, McGinn!

  9. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Why does the Chelsea players look like they've got olympic medals around their neck?

  10. Un De Sceaux
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    I've seen some shocking selections on here over the years but McBurnie was the lowest of the low.

    McBurnie owners drop your heads in shame. There really is no excuse for having him

    1. Champions League Varane
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I don’t have him but 4 points I mean

    2. Greek Freak
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      He's a bargain though, has matched Auba and Aguero (so far) for a fraction of the price.

      1. MosF94
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Jimenez has gotten me the same points as Auba and McBurnie from 4 games combined...

    3. Tempestic
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Well i mean i picked ozil so..

      1. Tempestic
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        some others chose David Luiz, there is worst than McBurnie out there

    4. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      He matched Aubameyang while being 5m+ cheaper. Bargain!

    5. Legendary!
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I see you’re new here. McBurnie pick is not the lowest of the low (see Dunk C last season as an example of lowest of the low)

      1. GREEN IS GOOD
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        The great FOMO pandemic of 2019

  11. NABIL - FPL otai
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Play adama (BOU) or Hayden (AVL)?

    Serious question.

    1. Lemongrab
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Gotta be Traore

    2. Un De Sceaux
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      That is not a serious question

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Why not? My 4th and 5th mid apparently

        1. Un De Sceaux
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Ignored

  12. Chucky
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Who takes Penos for Villa?

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Jack

    2. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Grealish

    3. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      El Ghazi the last iirc.

    4. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Peter

    5. Greek Freak
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Grealish took one and missed, El Ghazi took the next (and last) one and scored from what I remember.

      1. Greek Freak
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        So El Ghazi would be the logical conclusion.

      2. Chucky
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        I have both thanks.

    6. Chucky
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      cheers all..

  13. FOO FIGHTER

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years

      He won’t get three in total before the end of the season

  14. Powers106
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    If you need an enabler, would you rather a) Saka or b) Cantwell?

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Saka

    2. Mambino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      a

    4. Ajax Hamsterdam

    5. Powers106

      Thanks all, seems fairly settled then! 🙂

  15. Old Man
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Many thanks to the chap who mentioned Pick TV - even though I didn't enjoy wacthing the SHU players melt down. It's not going to get any better with having no players in the Merseyside derby - but will watch it anyway.

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      All the sky games are on there. The bbc had a list of all the free to air games. Its a lot of them.

      1. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        I reckon my wife knew and kept quiet about it! 😀

      2. g40steve
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Not all?
        Villa vs Chelsea not.

        Pool vs Eve 7pm

  16. Fantasy Premington
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Early wildcard thoughts:

    A) Son, Saiss and Manquillo
    B) Bergwijn, Doherty and Aurier

    Which is better?

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      B

  17. Champions League Varane
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Any of these worth a -4?.

    Kun and Tony to Rash and Son?
    Kun and Tony to Salah and DCL?

    1. Mambino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      keep Kun for Chelsea

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Probably one of them will be in hindsight.

  18. Squib
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    So lads what would you do with:
    Henderson and Nyland.
    Egan and Lundstram.
    Abraham and Aubameyang.

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Wildcard.

      1. Squib
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Hahaha! No WC left pal.

        1. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Auba probably gets to stay till Norwich so. Nyland not the worst for next GW.

          Lundstram & especially Tammy need replacing.

    2. Warby84
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Play Nyland for now

    3. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Quit. Not long until FPL 20/21 opens

      1. Squib
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Not whilst I'm top of my cash mini league I'm not.

    4. Greek Freak
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Egan to someone cheaper who plays for a good defence. (Fernandez, Lascelles, Ward, someone like that)
      Abraham to DCL.

      1. Greek Freak
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        It's not as bad as it looks is what I mean - Auba will come good, Nyland can deputise for a GW, just sort out the suspended player and the forward that's not nailed all of a sudden.

        1. Squib
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Cheers. Gone Egan to Saiss.
          Got
          Nyland
          TAA Lascelles Saiss
          Grealish Salah KDB Bruno
          Auba Jiminez Abraham

          Hendo Lund Cathcasrt Saka

  19. Bubz

  20. _Ninja_

  22. Yank Revolution

  23. JenkoJunko
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Current WC draft... Hows it looking? All thoughts very welcome 🙂

    Pope Button
    TTA Mendy Doherty Lascelles B Williams
    Salah KDB Pogba Bruno Saka
    Ings Jimmy Ayew

    0.7 ITB

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      loogs great, not that keen on mendy though

      1. JenkoJunko
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah agreed bit of a punt at the moment. Have 0.7ITB bank so have some room to change it. Any suggestions?

  24. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Was thinking Mount an option but he’ll be displaced by Werner right?

  25. TheDragon
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Villa are going to keep another clean sheet aren’t they...

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      No

    2. squits
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      70 mins left dont panic

      1. TheDragon
        • 8 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        I can almost guarantee it given how this season has gone

    3. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Well if they do it will be typical seeing as I picked Elmohamady as my Villa defender LOL

    4. Annie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Willian and Abraham will score

    5. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Nope

    6. The Bandit
      • 15 Years

  26. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Guys would you take a -12 hit or play FH and hope no more red cards and injured keepers or just take the hit to get the team I need

    1. Vazza
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      FH

  27. MGMT
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Currently second in a money H2H league and next GW I face the leader... Planning to bench boost, but have one doubt. What would you do with Adrián + Hanley?

    A. Adrián -> Nyland
    B. Adrián -> Martinez
    C. Hanley -> Lascelles
    D. Adrián to Martínez and Lascelles to a 4.2 def for a -4

    Personally i think there are no good enough 4.2 defenders tu justify a hit... what would you do?

    1. MGMT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Only 0.3 itb and can sell Hanley for 4M

  28. Niho992
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    This games needs Grealish goal !

    1. Amey

    Giroud gets worse every year. Stealing a living
