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.

    Anyone beat (do worse than) 10 points since Tuesday?!!

    1. One More Hit
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      If it wasn't for Saiss and Lascelles, yes.

      Leno 1
      Auba 2
      Egan -3
      Lundstram 0
      Henderson 2
      Lascelles 5
      Saiss 7

    2. DandyDon

      No. I got 11 in today’s first game alone!

    3. SweepaKeepa
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Unlucky. I got more than 10 just from Newcastle!

    These water breaks seem so detrimental to the tempo of the game...

    1. Rotation's Alter Ego
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I get the 2nd half break, the 1st half one just seems bizarre...

      1. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Likely they have had advertisers in the back of their minds. Worrying

  4. Jet5605

    Traore minutes prediction in next game? Is he likely to start given his superb display from the bench yesterday?

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

      No

    2. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      All depends on the formation, could see them play 343 at home

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

      I’m flabbergasted he isn’t the first name on the team sheet

      1. Jet5605
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Agreed. It'd would be like Liverpool benching Mane every week

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

    a maguire and sarr
    b holgate and bergwijn (holgate part of a 3 men rotation)

    1. liner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Not great non of it but if I had to chose one I would go A

    2. liner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Maybe mount instead of sarr.

  6. FPL Daniel
    • 17 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Chelsea look weak and rusty. Willian looks not interested.

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

      He's already thinking about big sign on bonus he's going to get somewhere in the world

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

      Are we watching the same game?

    3. g40steve
      • 8 Years

      All Chelsea what I am seeing?

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 17 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Not potent.

    4. Neevesy
      • 9 Years

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 12 Years

    2. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 17 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Salah and Mane is risky with how good the opposition defend . I would spread it around a bit

    3. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Love that

    4. Neevesy
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Very similar to mine!! I'm probably going to have a City midfielder over Salah though.

  8. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Grealish and Mount c’mon lads.

    Also, surprised Tammy isn’t starting

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

      Can't play against parent club

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

    Mount seems lively

  11. DandyDon
    • 7 Years

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I want at least one pen save too

  12. james 101
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    So do we think Tammy is dead as a WC pick?

    1. james 101
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Rash / Jimmy / DCL best?

      1. One More Hit
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        1. james 101
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 1 month ago

          I want to believe in Vardy. Honestly.
          But I just can’t seem to.

          Bit like the loch news monster and god I guess

          1. james 101
            • 14 Years
            6 years, 1 month ago

    2. Mambino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

    3. Jam0sh
      • 14 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Probably better to ignore

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

    Alonso CS as good as banked.

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years

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

    Been cooking Sunday dinner so missed the Blades game.

    Egan and Lundstram owner, so probably best I missed it all......

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

    Nyland nearly fluffed it

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

    Oh dear 😆

  19. _Ninja_
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Nyland reminds me of Karius.

  20. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Would have been an Alonso assist. Whoopsie 😛

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

    El-Ghazi denied

    1. Chucky

  22. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    1. Niho992
      • 7 Years

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

      Livescore says 2 on target.

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

  24. Silecro
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Pick one:
    A) Rashford, Saiss
    or
    B) Ings, Doherty

    Cheers.

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

      50/50 imo, go with your gut. I'd go A, but only just.

    2. St Pauli Walnuts
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      B

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

    Going to be another 0-0 first half

  26. FPL Daniel
    • 17 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Apparently every player was tested for covid-19 besides, Kepa, since he cant catch anything 🙂 hahaha

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Come on mate, that was actually a decent save.

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

      Hilarious. I think my sides have split.

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

    Pity he missed that.

  28. AF90
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Free Hit team for GW31...

    Alisson
    Saiss, Justin, Taylor (3.9,4.0)
    Mane, Salah, Bruno, Bergwijn (4.2)
    Vardy, Jimenez, Ings

    Obvious lack of cover/weak defence....So swap one of LIV mids to Maddison & upgrade defence& Bergwijn to Son or keep this team?

    1. grumpyman
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Salah > Martial, Justin > TAA?

  29. Jam0sh
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    I think Chelsea need Tammy on

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

      Agree, Giroud is useless

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

      Tammy owner?

      1. Jam0sh
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        How did you guess

    3. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      So does my FPL team.

  30. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Loftus-Cheek is really off the pace.
