Abraham leads Chelsea line as Jorginho drops to bench for West Brom trip

Tammy Abraham (£7.3m) has been tasked with leading the Chelsea line for their Gameweek 3 trip to West Bromwich Albion.

After impressing midweek, the former Swansea City loanee makes his first Premier League start of the season in what looks to be a 4-2-3-1 formation named by Frank Lampard.

That suggests a slightly wider role for Timo Werner (£9.5m), who is capable of operating as a left-winger, while Kai Havertz (£8.4m) gets his first chance to play number 10 in a league match since arriving from Bayer Leverkusen.

Meanwhile, Abraham coming into the team has forced Jorginho (£5.1m) to the bench, which should make for interesting viewing if Chelsea win any penalties this afternoon, as the Italian has taken two since the start of the season.

In defence, Reece James (£5.1m) continues to silence the naysayers worried about rotation, as he starts ahead of Cesar Azpilicueta (£5.9m) for the third match in a row.

His Fantasy credentials are boosted by a Premier League debut for Thiago Silva (£5.5m), although Willy Caballero (£4.9m) makes one last start in goal as Edouard Mendy‘s (£5.0m) came too soon for involvement in Gameweek 3.

Matheus Pereira (£6.0m) remains the only asset of slight Fantasy worth in the West Bromwich Albion side.

The mid-priced midfielder is the most popular among Baggies starters but is only owned by 2.5% ahead of a testing meeting with Chelsea.

West Bromwich Albion XI (5-4-1): Johnstone; C Townsend, O’Shea, Bartley, Ajayi, Furlong; Diangana, Sawyers, Livermore, M Pereira; C Robinson.

Chelsea XI (4-2-3-1): Caballero; Alonso, T Silva, Christensen, R James; Kanté, Kovačić; Werner, Havertz, Mount; Abraham.

    Abraham continuing will pretty much kill Chelsea's chance of coming back.

      Early days but certainly overrated by dome. Surprised so many captained a player who has never scored a PL goal over the likes of KdB and Salah

      Think Lamp should have eased the new signings in to the team rather than ripping up last year's template completely from the start. Think Giru and Azpi are far better options than Tammy or Alonso.

      6 years, 28 days ago

      I do. I think he's akin to Aubameyang who I followed in the BL. EPL is tougher, they don't work the same goal average in comparison. We have to wait to see suppliers like Zy & Puli in action, but no, I doubt the same output in reality. Not a bad prospect, but EPL is a great leveller to show talent

      Everything down the right. Left side is atrocious, so we're crowding the middle. No space to move.

      CHO is not on form but we need to use the space. Tammy off, CHO on.

    Lads, I do apologise, but I have to settle tonight and I reallu could use your help. Should I WC A to B? Or would a hit suffice (already used my FT)?

    A: Ryan / Walton

    Salah / KDB / James Rodríguez / Harrison / Soucek
    Werner / Jimenez / Brewster

    B. Martinez / Steer

    Salah / KDB / Bruno / Trossard / Harrison
    Jimenez / DCL / Brewster

    Any suggestions? I know it's not the best time to ask, but I'll be away for the week and really needed to settle it. Would you be so kind to help?
